Gavin Holmes

Over the last 12 years Gavin Holmes has become recognized as a worldwide expert in Volume Spread Analysis methodology (VSA) and market manipulation. 
 
In 2002, Gavin Holmes had the good fortune to meet Tom Williams and quickly became his Protégée.  Tom was a former syndicate trader who traded with one of the largest stock trading funds in America during the late 1960’s and early 1970’s.  
 
Tom developed the VSA methodology into a trading system that could uniquely monitor the activity of the “Smart Money” as they were manipulating the markets by observing the interrelationship between volume, price action and the closing price on a chart. Tom wrote two books: “The Undeclared Secrets that Drive the Stock Market” and “Master the Markets”. Both books have now sold or been distributed to over 750,000 traders and investors worldwide.
 
In recent years Gavin has featured as a headline speaker at numerous seminars and webinars around the world.  In addition, he has also provided educational courses for the CME Group in Chicago, has been  featured as one of the headline traders at the New York and Las Vegas traders expo’s ‘Traders Challenge’ where Gavin traded his live account  showing the principles of VSA appearing live and taking trades.
 
Gavin has been trading the FOREX markets for 12 years and is an expert in analysing "tick volume" to follow the trading activity of the large banks, hedge funds and institutional money, also known as "Smart Money".
 
Gavin is author of the book “Trading in the Shadow of the Smart Money.”  In the book Gavin discusses how manipulation of the financial markets has been around since the inception of the financial system. Gavin poses the question whether market manipulation is positive or negative for the function of the markets.
 
Gavin is CEO of The TradeGuider International - the Company which develops, distributes and supports the growing range of VSA software, educational services and trading activities to over 4,500 Customers across 35 Countries.
 
Gavin’s passion is based on the original teachings of Richard Wyckoff, Richard Ney and Tom Williams who all had the same goal, to educate the uninformed public how the financial markets really operate.

In this very special London Forex Show presentation hosted by Gavin Holmes, you will be introduced to a charting analysis method called Volume Spread Analysis.

This method is relatively unknown to the vast majority of Forex traders and Gavin Holmes will show you how to unleash its full potential. Gavin will be previewing the new Volume Spread Analysis trade indicators and trade set up scanners for ActivTrades MT4 and MT5 platforms. In this seminar  you will be introduced to cutting edge concepts used by the "Smart money":

- What is "tick volume" and how to set it up on ActivTrades MT4 and MT5 platforms.
- Why massive volume as a market rallies can be hidden selling from "Smart money".
- Why massive volume as a market falls can be hidden buying from "Smart money".
- Two key principles of Volume Spread analysis that will mark a top and bottom.
- How to set up email alerts directly from your MT4 and MT5 program to warn you of an impending trade set up.
- Which are the best four timeframes to analyse for scalping, swing trading or day trading  the Forex market.
- How to use the Volume Spread Analysis indicators in a sequence to identify a high probability, low risk trade set up.
- How to identify when a Forex pair is overbought or oversold.
- When not to trade because the market is in congestion.
