    essentially this is the same concept of price moving from one area of high liquidity to another (fair value/novice zone)... you wouldn't take the trades at the areas of liquidity/fair value because these aren't valid supply/demand zones (there is a balance of sellers and buyers. the way I am understanding it, you wait for price to move away from the liquidity/novice area, if it moves up, creates supply, you'd look to enter at the retest of the supply to ride it back down to the area of high liquidity. vice versa for demand, wait for price to fall below novice area/liquidity, create level of demand (which is determined once we see level of supply fail, and look to enter on the retest of what caused the invalid supply to fail. this way of thinking helped make things simpler and easier to understand. well done.

    I finally get it. Supply and demand are areas where price is not often hanging around. Fair value is the middle where the 'noise' of trading occurs. That is why it is crucial to trigger your trade at the demand or supply zones, because once price fires away from that zone, your position will in the middle again in the fair value where you are more at risk. You take the risk once it hits the demand or supply zone because a proper entry has the minimum risk and has the advantage of the imbalance. You will know very quickly if that area is no longer a zone if it breaks right through or trades in a range in that zone for too long, that is where you should exit. Does this mean then our exits should be in the fair value area?

    SIR, Trading forex supply & demand if 4 hour trend is up,& 1 hour trend is up as well--then on 15 minute time frame chart one has to wait until price comes down to support level(derived from 1H chart) & using smaller 15 minutes chart watch that this level holds & then buy. Next step would be how this long position attacks higher supply level ON THE SAME 1H chart & only sell if forex pair turns down at this higher supply level--otherwise just hold the position on to next higher supply level ON SAME 1HOUR CHART--any modifications?

    • @chindianajones3742
      @chindianajones3742 3 года назад +1

      If I understand you correctly, then yes, on a smaller time frame, supply and demand are more concentrated around the current price. However, this is because of market memory: the memory of a market on any timeframe is about 200 candles (100-300). So on the daily timeframe, the market memory is roughly the last 200 days. On the minute charts, the memory is about 200 minutes. By memory I mean the number of candles that people who are looking at the market (on a certain timeframe) actually care about for things like support/resistance, supple/demand, etc. So, on the minute charts, market participants will generally only care about supply and demand zones created within the last 100-300 minutes, and on the daily charts, market participants will care about supply and demand zones created within the last 100-300 days. Note that if you are trading on a 1 minute chart, you are not only trading the 1 minute chart, but also every timeframe above 1 minute. Why? if price is trading near a supply/demand zone on the 4 hourly or daily chart, and you are looking at the 1 minute chart, market participants trading on timeframes above 1 minute will be taking this higher timeframe supply/demand zone into consideration. This is why it is always important to have your higher timeframe levels and zones figured out before making a trade.

Institutions watch 4H chart(supply demand) levels much more. IF 4H level gives even 5% edge of HOLDING, then may be little guy can make A buck or two--Any comments/suggestions? Thank you.

    Isnt a Pivot a strong imbalance of supply&demand? If price stopped abruptly its downtrend and shoot up, there must be huge demand and low supply at that place = strong area of imbalance. Its an impulsive move up from a downtrend = demand exceeds supply. Why is pivot different than Supply&demand zones from Sam´s perspective?

      You can do it on any TF, buddy... but the larger the TF, the longer it takes for your trade setup to come along. The smaller the TF, the more you have to think about the bid/ask spread. Try starting with D1 or H4 charts. It kinda depends on how your life is set up... if you're busy at work while the action is happening, you might want to stick to larger timeframes, so you can put orders in at night without missing out.

    @thelittlesignpost 2 года назад

    At 11.40, you say "look to the left" this is critical in your trading, but what are you looking for? Well, two things are missing for me, volume and volatility! I can only assume that on the demand side ((left chart) that huge red down bar was increased volume which I need to know. If it was, then prices breaking above must mean it was market manipulation (trapped traders) and for the moment that red price bar must have contained more buying than selling, for how else can price move higher? Therefore when you see 4 x positive close green bars and then your demand zone, a buy just above there would have been OK for me and protect directly below that zone and follow up to lock in profits! Similar in reverse for the supply zone on the right, the large green bar was broken below, and even when I cannot see the amount of volume and volatility on your chart, it is a very likely sell for me, because the green bar actually must have contained more selling (trapped traders)! Protect and follow down, lock in profit! I never set targets, just allow the market to give me what it wants! What is more important for me, it the immediate market pressure for the moment in time we trade!

    • @thelittlesignpost

      I should have mentioned that it's not clear what time frame you are using there! If it were a 4 hour, then I would switch to a 5 minute to take the trade, or if it were a daily, then progressively move down to 4, 1 hour and 5 mins! The larger the time frame you are using there, the more opportunity in lower time frames!

    I still don't get how to identify supply and demand zones. I know the novice zone but not the support and demands.

      Me too!!! I don't know but to me it seems that supply and demand zones are basically support and resistance zones, but drawn as areas more than a line... does that make sense? Could it be the case? And they seem to work hand in hand with volume... but he says it doesn't. I'm new to supply and demand... just looking at more theories, but this video just told me to totally forget the trend, support and resistance, price and volume (or so i think coz it wasn't mentioned)

    This isn't just the best strategy - it's the simplest and most versatile.
    Why would we need to bother with anything else?

      I avoid this situation... it's not really a 'zone' if you don't have history on the chart. All time highs are 'uncharted territory', LOL.

      Fib extensions. 50 and 61.8 are important respected levels.

    video didn't really clarify anything if you ask me.
    I can bet everyone who is saying this is a great video, none of this is helping them.
