Volume Price Analysis

What You'll Learn

  • Price vs Volume: Why price only tells you what is happening, while volume reveals the conviction and institutional energy behind every move.
  • The Only Leading Indicators: How price and volume differ from lagging indicators like moving averages, providing real-time clues about probable next moves.
  • Volume Price Analysis (VPA): The art of reading price and volume together to decode supply and demand, detect smart money, and filter market noise.
  • Confirmations: How to recognise when price and volume agree — signalling a genuine move backed by real institutional interest.
  • Anomalies: How to spot when price and volume disagree — a red flag that the move may be a trap with no real conviction behind it.
  • The Three Core Principles: Why patience, relative volume comparison, and consistent practice are essential for applying VPA effectively on funded accounts.
