- 0:01Hello everyone, welcome to this new
- 0:03Bulls Finance video for premium users.
- 0:05I'm Gabriele and today I'm going to
- 0:07explain concepts of supply and demand,
- 0:09order types, and market participants.
- 0:12So, let's start right away with market
- 0:13participants. The most important market
- 0:18participants are commercial banks;
- 0:21basically, they control most of the
- 0:24world's money and also determine, let's
- 0:28say, the direction of the market. They
- 0:34also interact, however, with central
- 0:36banks, which are the second most
- 0:38important group of participants. What
- 0:41do these central banks do? Quite simply
- 0:45, they hold a vast reserve of liquidity
- 0:47in both local and foreign currency.
- 0:51They control many economic factors,
- 0:55such as interest rates, and when they
- 0:59release news, it very often immediately
- 1:04and heavily impacts the market and its
- 1:08trend. Then, secondly, we have
- 1:12international corporations. I'll give
- 1:16you an example to make you understand
- 1:18better. So, for example, Coca-Cola,
- 1:22when they conduct business in
- 1:24international markets, for instance
- 1:27selling products in Great Britain, they
- 1:30trade the pound, for example, with the
- 1:33dollar. So if Coca-Cola sells in Great
- 1:38Britain, it will end up shifting the
- 1:41pound and the dollar. Thus, in large
- 1:46quantities, and therefore moving the
- 1:49market in turn. Then there are hedge
- 1:53funds and also FX brokers, so brokers,
- 1:56not necessarily just Forex, but brokers
- 1:59. So what do they do? Let's say they
- 2:03actively trade in the market and they
- 2:09go against us, and we are the
- 2:11participants, the last market
- 2:14participants, and they influence rates,
- 2:17spreads, and other things. Then there
- 2:22is a small slice of participants, such
- 2:26as business owners who simply trade in
- 2:29the market with their own money and who
- 2:32, in any case, have, let's say, a
- 2:35higher liquidity availability than ours
- 2:38. Finally, there's us, we are small
- 2:44independent traders who simply operate
- 2:49with small-to-medium accounts and are
- 2:53the ones who, in quotes, suffer losses
- 2:57from all these participants. So guys,
- 3:02before I start explaining supply and
- 3:04demand to you, I want to introduce one
- 3:06small thing first, and I want to tell
- 3:09you that we have been operating with
- 3:11supply and demand concepts since about
- 3:131979. When, let's say, Nixon introduced
- 3:18floating exchange rate regimes. So,
- 3:22having said that, I'll go on to explain
- 3:25why I made this little chart. Quite
- 3:28simply, this chart is a representation
- 3:31of supply and demand. Because we start
- 3:34right away from the left, so from this
- 3:36area. This zone, as you can clearly see
- 3:39, is a consolidation zone, a resting
- 3:41area for the market. It is also a a
- 3:44demand zone, excuse me, it is a demand
- 3:47zone. What happens after having this
- 3:51spring, okay, by the market, what did
- 3:53it do? Not having much strength, the
- 3:58market went to look for a retest in
- 4:00this zone, you see, at this point here.
- 4:05Why? Because, precisely, the market
- 4:08does not move without demand or supply.
- 4:13Any market, whether it is the Forex
- 4:15market, the crypto market, or even the
- 4:17fruit market, okay? The bread market,
- 4:21without supply and demand, the market
- 4:24doesn't move. Okay? So, in this case,
- 4:28for the market to rise, it had to look
- 4:30for other people who were asking for
- 4:32that price, meaning they were demanding
- 4:34it. Once the market captured these
- 4:39people, okay, at this point and in this
- 4:42zone, it said, we have many people
- 4:45demanding, so there is high demand, and
- 4:48thus the price, rightly having strength
- 4:51towards the buy side, went up with
- 4:54another spring. What happened?
- 4:58Subsequently, the market went to rest
- 5:00because we know that the market uh is
- 5:03not always impulsive, so it has an
- 5:06impulse, it rests, and then another
- 5:08impulse. Now, after this impulse, the
- 5:12market decided to rest. Okay? So, what
- 5:16zone was created? A supply zone was
- 5:19created, okay? A supply zone. Why a
- 5:23supply zone? Because there was this
- 5:26spring to the downside, so this
- 5:28breakout. And so, what did the market
- 5:33do? It had to look for other people,
- 5:37other participants who were actually
- 5:40offering that price, who were selling,
- 5:43okay? So the price went back up to this
- 5:47zone, okay? It took the acceptance,
- 5:50meaning it took all the people who were
- 5:52selling, and it went down again. Same
- 5:56thing here. So we have another
- 5:58consolidation and rest zone for the
- 6:00market. What does it do? Spring,
- 6:05breakout, retest in this zone, and then
- 6:07it continues its trend towards the
- 6:09short. Uh, quite simply, this is supply
- 6:14and demand. It is obvious that you need
- 6:18to master it, you need to uh backtest
- 6:20it many, many more times. Uh, it
- 6:24certainly doesn't take days to learn uh
- 6:26to trade supply and demand, but it
- 6:28takes time. But with time and patience,
- 6:32you can really do anything. So, we have
- 6:35a long chart, okay? We have some zones
- 6:38called B and A, therefore a high and a
- 6:41low. I called this high B, I called
- 6:43this low A. What do we see? that at the
- 6:46end of a retracement I have those
- 6:49buyers present at this low, therefore A
- 6:51, are the architects of the breakout of
- 6:54high B. Why this? Because at this point
- 6:58, okay, all the buyers, uh, entered,
- 7:01okay, and caused this breakout,
- 7:04therefore a new high that we call,
- 7:07let's call it C. These buyers A created
- 7:11a new high which would be C. Why does
- 7:14this happen? Because they unbalance the
- 7:18demand versus the supply with
- 7:19absorption, so demand is created. Okay,
- 7:23guys, as the last topic, which is order
- 7:26types, I grabbed this image easily from
- 7:29Google, uh, where I will explain well
- 7:31what you are seeing. So, here you are
- 7:35seeing the various types of orders, so
- 7:37both buy and sell. I am going to
- 7:40explain how to use them. Let's take the
- 7:42first example, which is a buy limit. A
- 7:46buy limit is a buy order that must be
- 7:49placed below the market price. Now I
- 7:53will explain how. Let's assume we have
- 7:57a chart like this, okay? A long chart.
- 8:03I now want to enter in this zone here,
- 8:06okay? So at 1.29880. If I am not at the
- 8:13chart or cannot be at the chart, uh, I
- 8:15will place a buy limit. The buy limit
- 8:20must indeed be placed below the market
- 8:23price. So, if the price at this moment
- 8:26is here, so 1.30, I cannot place it up
- 8:28here, but I must necessarily place it
- 8:30below. So, after having done my various
- 8:33analyses, I decide to set it down here.
- 8:36How does the price open? How does the
- 8:39trade open? Very simply, the price must
- 8:42go and touch this zone, okay? The trade
- 8:46opens and then, uh, we can see it,
- 8:49let's say, live, so go and see and
- 8:52manage the trade. Uh, so let's repeat
- 8:57that the buy limit cannot be placed
- 9:00above the market price, but must be
- 9:02placed below the market price and, uh,
- 9:05we can, let's say, also, uh, leave it
- 9:08there without, uh, necessarily opening
- 9:11it, uh, automatically. Okay? Then we
- 9:14move on to the buy stop. A buy stop
- 9:18instead is also a buy order that must
- 9:21be placed above the market price. So
- 9:25another example, let's take a long
- 9:27chart again, okay? We are in this
- 9:32situation and I want to place a buy
- 9:35stop, so also according to my analysis,
- 9:38uh, I want my trade to open at this
- 9:41point, so 1.30. So, what does the price
- 9:45have to do to open the trade? It must
- 9:47touch this price, so 1.30 and then,
- 9:51indeed, the trade will open
- 9:52automatically. Honestly, this is an
- 9:58order I advise against, just like the
- 10:01sell stop, because quite simply, the
- 10:04trade could easily go against you, as
- 10:07you are opening a position at that
- 10:10moment in an overextended market. So,
- 10:15when the market acts like this, it is
- 10:16in overextension. We must try to make
- 10:19as much profit as possible. Personally,
- 10:24I use the buy limit, but I won't deny
- 10:26that there have been times when I've
- 10:29used the buy stop as well. The sell
- 10:32limit. So, a sell limit must be placed
- 10:38above the market price. So, in what
- 10:42sense? Well, very simply, always
- 10:46following my analysis, I want the price
- 10:49, um, to open here, okay? I mean,
- 10:52excuse me, the trade opens here, in
- 10:54sell, so I go to place my sell limit at
- 10:56, for example, 1.29. What will the
- 11:00price do? It must touch this, uh, this
- 11:04price—excuse the pun—and then the
- 11:07trade will open automatically. To
- 11:11profit, obviously, the price must go
- 11:13down if we open a sell limit or a buy
- 11:15limit. Then we have the sell stop. The
- 11:20sell stop, quite simply, is the
- 11:23opposite of a buy stop, so while we
- 11:26place a buy stop above the market price
- 11:29, we must instead place a sell stop
- 11:32below the market price. So in this way,
- 11:36we'll draw another chart; the price is
- 11:40here. For example, we want the trade to
- 11:44open here, upon the breakout of this
- 11:47low, so the price will move like this
- 11:50and the trade opens. So guys, these
- 11:55were the concepts. I hope everything
- 11:58was clear.
