The Velez Buy Setup and Velez Sell Setup (VBS/VSS) are among the core strategies that you learn from Oliver. They are widely described in the Trader Manual and can appear daily, which is why mastering this tool matters. It involves a pullback that allows you to take advantage of an existing trend when it resumes.
Here is the key: The US stock market is starting a new era on December 6th, with a new schedule of 23 hours and 5 days a week. This makes it increasingly important to develop the skills to trade a market that is already in motion:
Identify a trend, wait for a proper pullback, and participate when that trend resumes
Oliver teaches multiple Plays and specific strategies to trade the markets. Still, one play is especially important for taking action in existing trends and is a must for the new era of the 23-hour market: the Oliver Setups (VBS/VSS).
“The IFT manual describes the VBS and VSS as the main buy and sell setups, accounting for 65-80% of the respective trades. So simply seeing a few red bars in an uptrend does not make something a good VBS. And a few green bars in a downtrend do not automatically make a good VSS.”
You have your trading charts in front of you, and in your watchlist you see a beautiful uptrend in a symbol; the 20ma is clearly rising, and it's a grinding movement that looks like a wonderful opportunity to take a long.
“Nice, but I do not want to chase it,” you think. “I will wait for a pullback and a new opportunity to enter,” so you see one, two, or three red bars; however, the play no longer looks as attractive. Questions start to emerge:
Is this a good pullback for my play?
Am I still in a healthy trend?
Maybe this is a trend change; would it be better to skip it now?
Feeling confused, you prefer to wait for more confirmation before taking any risk with this play, and quite often, by the time you have that confirmation, the stock has already taken off again.
This is the dilemma of trading existing trends: Where do you enter without chasing?

I WANT TO JOIN THE BOOTCAMPThe Bootcamp on the surge off the 200ma was very key; that way we learn how to identify a true surge off the 200ma and our edge in the market by collecting statistics on this powerful tactic off the open. It helps approach a trade with confidence and eliminate any thought before and during a trade. I can't wait for the upcoming Bootcamp, which will be even better since we will learn how to rank and therefore select which stock to trade at the open.
