Has anyone read A Complete Guide to Volume Price Analysis by Anna Coulling. She talks about how she first learned about volume price analysis (VPA - her term for VSA) and that in 1998 when she first started trading she paid for an overpriced course by Albert Labos. At the end of the book she said that Albert was a rogue but she was grateful at being introduced to VPA, even at an exorbitant price. She mentions Albert introduced the group to Tom Williams who was described as an ex-syndicate trader. She said nothing else about Tom Williams. I thought the connection was interesting. I wonder what she thinks of the software.

Id say that her over priced course has given her the capability of investigating and developing her
own version of VSA---to the point of writing a book about the topic.
Never heard of Her or Labos.
Been involved with VSA and Tradeguider since about 2000.
Know Gavin Holmes well enough to have a beer.
As for opinions on the software
What opinion do you want?
The software is an analysis tool
NOT a stand alone buy sell system.
Once you understand that you'll be able to evaluate the software.
If She or anyone cant get past the purpose for which the software was/is designed
then an objective and credible opinion cannot be formulated.

All I want is a tool to assist learning that also contains the ability to run scans etc for points of interest that are then worthy of further investigation. Anna in her book said that to learn VPA she spent six months straight watching charts and their movements. Would the software be able to hone learning so as to focus on important parts of charts? It might be worth it if it can improve quality of learning by directing attention to stuff that may be important to spend time on.
For example, I might get an indicator that looks like a shake out and then I might spend time analyzing that point in multiple time frames, considering whether this is a support area, drawing trend lines, analyzing risk and position sizing based on where I will need to put my stop loss etc if an entry point presents itself later on (like a high volume breakout etc).
The difficulty for me now is I feel like I have to go through stocks hand by hand without very good ways to scan for interesting things. I do run scans now but they are quite basic. My main one identifies pullbacks in a trend for entry points on swings. I want to go beyond that though for indicators that point me to interesting anomalies in volume/price.
If tradeguider is something that can do that, it might be worth me getting a subscription for the quarter to test it out for $300.

It will do that.
Frankly I find the software sadly lacking in functionality.
If Todd Kruger ever gets his Software up and running
I'm sure that will be gold class in comparison.
As you can see its taken 18 yrs so far and is way over
his last projected launch date.

I have been getting his Weekly Vid for 3 yrs.
I think youd enjoy it.--FREE.

Thanks tech/a. I rarely argue with free
If I get Tradeguider hopefully I make my money back on it before Todd Krueger releases his software. I actually checked his page out before you mentioned him since I was doing research on Tradeguider and came across his name.

Im sure if you negotiate a deal with tradeguider you can do better than their canned rate!
A deal is better than no deal.
Yea I could ask them. They don't have a trial period so maybe at least they will do a reduced price for the first quarter so I can give it a go.

You could do a trial with Tradeguider for NinjaTrader and get free EOD data from Kinetic...
Thanks. I will look into that.

Lifetime Ownershhip Price - $1799.95 for the NinjaTrader Add On
LifeTime Ownership - $999.95 for the stand alone
Why is the add on so much more expensive?

The price they have on https://www.tradeguider.com/store/ is different to what they have on http://www.tradeguider.com/subscribe_tradingtools.asp
I don't understand why the stand alone is $130 a month being $390 per quarter when the trading tools subscription which includes both RT and EOD and the scanners/addins is $300 per quarter. The trading tools sub is clearly the better option unless you were purchasing outright.
So I signed up for a quarterly subscription since I can basically try it out for three months (plus all their other training stuff...) for $300 or so. I paid by Paypal deliberately in case they did something dodgy like they did to Canoz.
They haven't activated my account yet. Support runs different hours to what it says on their website and the links in the responses to the tickets don't work so you need to submit a new ticket each time you reply. They have until the end of the week and then I am going to have to chargeback.
For people who have their software plastered all over the net, they are lucky I was even going to bother paying for it.

Your being tough over Xmas.
Bought both R/T and EOD outright years ago.
Support has never been an issue and have helped a couple of times brilliantly.
But as I said the functionality is lacking in my view
The software rates about 3/10 currently.
Good as a learning tool rubbish as a trading tool.
I've just downloaded my tickers from Just data straight into it.
Maybe but it's supposed to be an automated system. It's just that their system failed and came up with an error. Since it's a subscription and not outright, if they take two weeks to fix it, you have paid for a service you did not receive for that time.

lol....was contemplating writing them a letter to give them a chance to make it up to me by offering me a lifetime license to the NT version...
I'd never use it anyway...but at least i would have what i aid for back again.
Interestingly, under VPA (not VSA from Tom Williams but rather adopted from Wychoff, Dow, and Ney) it's suggested that when a low downwards spread on ultra high volume occurs as in that first chart it's actually weakness. If it occurs on the bottom it has its meaning as tradeguider states. Those green arrows under VPA would all be signals to sell. It's an indication that the longs are taking their profits now and people are buying because the herd loves to buy at market tops, average down or catch the falling knife. Therefore, it may not be professional money necessarily but if it is, professional money would be selling there. It makes no sense for them to buy. That being said, big money but not necessarily smart money e.g. banks or superannuation funds might do something silly like go long in a clearly falling market.

Can someone shed light on how I can fix this issue?
I've closed it and opened it. Something obviously isn't working.
