Using Smart Volume Spread Analysis Software To Trade SPY Options With Smart Trader Pro

The following screenshot is the hourly SPY chart which I have been trading for some time. I wanted to illustrate how easy it is to use Smart Volume Spread Analysis Software (VSA) on the SPY chart for fairly extraordinary gains.

  1. Smart Upthrust – Weakness (Long Put)
  2. Smart Buying – Strength (Long Call)
  3. Smart Upthrust – Weakness (Long Put)
  4. Smart Upthrust – Weakness (Long Put)
  5. Smart Buying – Strength (Long Call)
  6. Smart Shakeout – Strength (Long Call)
  7. Smart Shakeout – Strength (Long Call)
  8. Smart Reverse Upthrust – Strength (Long Call)
  9. Smart Reverse Shakeout – Weakness (Long Put)

The moves on the instrument itself were not that dramatic traded on its own but the options trades, #2 for example, was closed for just under 200%

It’s worth noting for those of you that use our Smart Volume Spread Analysis Software, these alerts, with the exception of one entry (7) were technically invalid. This doesn’t seem to be an issue with this chart and chart time will show you when or when it’s not advisable to take a trade or not, even with the Smart Trade Advisor system flashing caution.

As always if you have any questions, please contact us using the support link on the website and we will be happy to help.

A Nice Testimonial About Smart’s Performance and A New Feature in Version 5.0

We got a nice email from a client that has done very well with the older version of Smart Trader and updated to version 5.0 after the official launch yesterday.   Here is what he had to say about one of the new features in this version (SMS Alerts) that enabled him to take advantage of a trade he would have missed otherwise.

I edited it to its essence and removed some unrelated questions (Thanks Joe).

Hi,

Just wanted to let you know that after not even one full day of using version 5.0 I already made 10x the upgrade cost from last night. I got an alert with the new alert system during the NY session so I checked my chart and I saw a great setup.  I went long and booked 75 pips!

Thanks, J.

I always love to hear how you guys are doing of course but as I always say…  Don’t tell just me.  I know Smart Volume Spread Analysis is awesome.  Tell your friends and people you love so they to can take control of, and create their own success too.

It has been very hectic getting the launch ready and now that it’s here it’s even crazier.  If you have a ticket that hasn’t been answered in a while, send it again as some may have fallen though the cracks.

As always please let us know if you have any questions.

Official Launch of Smart Trader v5.0 Volume Spread Analysis Software

Official Launch of Smart Trader v5.0 Volume Spread Analysis Software

After many years of work tirelessly developing, testing, and optimizing… Version 5.0 is officially available. Thanks to all of our testers and early adopters. We originally launched v5 in January but due to unforeseen memory allocation bugs within Metatrader, we had to revise a major part of our software. This delayed the launch by a bit but actually improved performance massively, so all in all it was a good thing.

This is the first of many updates for v5. The update was so large and includes many new features it has to be done in stages. This is the first stage and we expect to release a new stage every couple of months.

A complete change log will be available within the client document site after we have compiled the list of additions etc.

For those waiting for the automated trader updates please note…  The Automated traders rely on many UX instances within Smart that until now were not complete.  Now that v5.0 is officially launched, they can be completed and will be launched shortly.

As always if you have any questions please contact us using the support link on our website.

You can update by clicking this link Follow the instructions on that page to get started.  If you have any questions or issues let us know.

Thanks.  We will fully roll out site changes in the next week as well so let us know if you have any trouble navigating.

Bitcoin Trading Using Smart Volume Spread Analysis (Cryptocurrency Trading with VSA)

I have written before about Bitcoin Trading Using Smart Volume Spread Analysis way back in 2013. I detailed how Smart VSA is able to handle any chart including cryptocurrencies like bit coin etc. with uncanny accuracy.

Thanks to the meteoric rise and the corresponding interest it generated, a number of clients and visitors to our website have asked again how Smart does on BTC.  The following screenshot is not cherry picked or doctored in any way.  It was BTC as of the date the screenshot was taken.  It uses the v5 Signal validation system which may change upon final launch but will likely remain as it is here.  The system is based on the already available methods but is shown visually for ease of explanation.

Bitcoin Trading Using Smart Volume Spread Analysis

The template used on this chart only displays the catalyst signals in Smart.  The method used has us enter on two of them (Favorites of mine).  Any signals can be used but in order to minimize risk we like to go in only on the signals that will be winners at a much higher rate no matter the instrument.

The Simple Method

Using a very simple method you would have been in the rise and each corresponding dip throughout the chart.  The screenshot is of a 30 min Bitcoin chart (BTC) .  We enter on the signals denoted with diamonds (Part of the new v5.0 Signal validation system).  Exits are done on the reverse signal (entered again) or the shakeout (If short) and the Reverse Shakeout (If long).  The dark gray bar is the shakeout and the lighter gray (Solid bar) is a reverse shakeout.  Smart is very much adapted to grab moves over and over no matter the chart which is clearly illustrated here. Trade layering adds even more profit (Ask me how) Bitcoin Trading Using Smart Volume Spread Analysis is much easier than you think and because it uses a very special version of Volume Spread analysis , it is rarely wrong.

Draw down using this method is minimal, if at all.  This method can be used on any chart of course.  I have an article coming detailing a simple signal to signal method similar to the method shown here.  Keep an eye out for it or subscribe to our Volume Spread Analysis newsletter and never miss an article or news.

Contact Us If You Have Any Questions or Comments

As always if you have any questions regarding this article, the methods shown, or how Smart VSA can help you, please submit a ticket using the support link on our website.  If you would like to start trading Smarter using a much smarter and modern version of Volume Spread Analysis visit our order page.  Many clients including one client we wrote about here find a new sense of financial freedom using our software and in some cases such as the linked article retire to trade full time in a very short amount of time. Bitcoin Trading Using Smart Volume Spread Analysis may be the way you achieve that goal.
