Volume Price Analysis practice by topic

How do I learn volume price analysis?

Drill the core question on every bar: does volume validate the price move, or contradict it? Validation continues trends; anomaly warns of reversal. KomFi turns it into 2,421 scenario questions with explained reads.

What is the difference between VPA and VSA?

They share the Wyckoff lineage and the effort-vs-result lens. VSA formalizes named bar signals; VPA (popularized by Anna Coulling) emphasizes continuous validation/anomaly reading across candles. The skills reinforce each other, and KomFi offers both banks.

Can volume analysis work on forex?

Spot forex lacks central volume, so VPA there leans on tick volume — which research shows correlates strongly with real activity. The interpretive skills in this bank transfer directly.
