  1. 0:04hey guys welcome back to the channel
  2. 0:07supply and demand is one of the most
  3. 0:09popular trading systems among traders it
  4. 0:12can be regarded as one of the most
  5. 0:14profitable strategies that one can use
  6. 0:16to trade the market if done right as you
  7. 0:19all know the stock market is where
  8. 0:21traders buy and sell assets the movement
  9. 0:24of the prices is due to supply and
  10. 0:26demand forces now once you understand
  11. 0:28the dynamics of these two forces namely
  12. 0:31supply and demand you will be able to
  13. 0:33anticipate almost every price movement
  14. 0:35on any price chart you will be able to
  15. 0:38track the smart money without doing
  16. 0:40extensive quantitative analysis and
  17. 0:42crunching all those data in your excel
  18. 0:44this video aims to give you all the
  19. 0:46necessary tools you'll need to master
  20. 0:49supply and demand in the market this
  21. 0:51topic will have two video parts in this
  22. 0:53video you will learn the core ideas on
  23. 0:56how to identify draw and trade market
  24. 0:58imbalances like professional raiders and
  25. 1:01in the upcoming video we will learn how
  26. 1:03to filter supply and demand zones using
  27. 1:05odd enhancers which will help you
  28. 1:07eliminate low probability zones and keep
  29. 1:10only those with high outs of success
  30. 1:12now the objective of this video is to
  31. 1:14help you implement this particular
  32. 1:16trading concept correctly so that you
  33. 1:19can become profitable in the long run
  34. 1:21now the video will cover the following
  35. 1:23topics we'll start with what exactly is
  36. 1:26supply and demand and we will understand
  37. 1:29what a market balance and imbalance is
  38. 1:32then we will talk about how to identify
  39. 1:34supply and demand zones in the chart and
  40. 1:36what are the different structures of
  41. 1:38supply and demand zones that you will
  42. 1:40see in the chart then we will learn how
  43. 1:42to draw the supply and demand zones and
  44. 1:44how to trade these zones and finally we
  45. 1:47will identify the supply and demand
  46. 1:48curves and also learn about why it is
  47. 1:51important to identify the curve in the
  48. 1:53first place so without wasting any time
  49. 1:55let's jump right on it
  50. 1:57so what exactly is supply and demand the
  51. 2:00supply and demand concept states that if
  52. 2:03the supply of a stock or commodity is
  53. 2:05high and its demand is low this will
  54. 2:08generate excess supply which will drive
  55. 2:10the prices down and if the supply of a
  56. 2:12stock or commodity is low and the
  57. 2:14associated demand is high then this will
  58. 2:17create a scarcity in the supply which
  59. 2:19will push the prices even higher for
  60. 2:21example during times of uncertainty and
  61. 2:24fear similar to one with ukraine
  62. 2:26rashawar the investors will reduce their
  63. 2:28exposure in the equity markets and start
  64. 2:31buying safe haven currencies or they
  65. 2:33turn to low risk investment options like
  66. 2:36gold convent bonds etc to protect their
  67. 2:39investment so in such a situation the
  68. 2:41demand for these asset classes like gold
  69. 2:44and safe haven currencies will drive
  70. 2:46their prices even higher another example
  71. 2:48is when the fed or the federal reserve
  72. 2:50decides to increase the interest rates
  73. 2:53what it does is that it will make the us
  74. 2:55dollar more attractive to the investors
  75. 2:57because of the increased interest yield
  76. 2:59this is also known as a carry trade
  77. 3:01where traders buy the currencies with
  78. 3:04high interest rates and sell those
  79. 3:06currencies with low interest rates we
  80. 3:08have seen this recently when indian
  81. 3:10rupee traded against usd at an all-time
  82. 3:13high now having understood the supply
  83. 3:15and demand concept we need to define
  84. 3:17supply and demand zones and understand
  85. 3:19how prices moves on the chart basically
  86. 3:22a supply zone is located above the
  87. 3:24current price where there's a strong
  88. 3:27selling interest at a supply zone
  89. 3:29sellers exceeds buyers and price moves
  90. 3:32down as unfilled orders get absorbed so
  91. 3:35when price reaches this level or zone
  92. 3:37the orders get filled and the prices
  93. 3:39starts to move down and traders are
  94. 3:42usually selling at these supply zones
  95. 3:44and as you can see on the chart the
  96. 3:45price rallies to a certain level or a
  97. 3:48zone then it pauses for a little time
  98. 3:50and then retraces back down so as long
  99. 3:53as unfilled orders are sitting in the
  100. 3:55zone prices will keep coming back to the
  101. 3:58supply zone until all these orders are
  102. 4:00filled now talking about a demand zone
  103. 4:03demand zone is a price area below the
  104. 4:05current market price where there is a
  105. 4:07strong buying interest and at the demand
  106. 4:09zone the buyers exceeds the sellers and
  107. 4:12the prices goes up as unfilled orders
  108. 4:14get absorbed so we can see a lot of
  109. 4:17buying interest in the demand zone this
  110. 4:19is most likely caused by a large number
  111. 4:21of buying orders at that level and the
  112. 4:23traders are buying at demand zones most
  113. 4:26often when the price reaches the demand
  114. 4:27zone some of these orders get executed
  115. 4:30and what you will see in the chart is a
  116. 4:32sharp move towards the upside as these
  117. 4:34orders get filled now when it comes to
  118. 4:36trading the market many traders rely
  119. 4:39heavily on technical indicators and
  120. 4:41market sentiment to spot the shift in
  121. 4:43momentum while there are other traders
  122. 4:45who simply trade the market imbalances
  123. 4:48by searching for supply and demand zones
  124. 4:50now this term is very important
  125. 4:52imbalance i will talk about it in a
  126. 4:55short while now these zones that i have
  127. 4:57discussed are actually price levels
  128. 4:59created by banks and institutions where
  129. 5:02unfilled orders are waiting to get
  130. 5:04filled now the whole concept of supply
  131. 5:06and demand is centered around finding
  132. 5:08the smart money orders on a price chart
  133. 5:10it is simply because they have the power
  134. 5:12to move the prices and they are the ones
  135. 5:15you should trade with
  136. 5:18the basic pattern associated with stock
  137. 5:20market is balance imbalance balance in
  138. 5:23balance etc and the market trades
  139. 5:25between an established excessive level
  140. 5:28until it trades above the high of the
  141. 5:30excess that is a breakout above the
  142. 5:32resistance level or it trades below the
  143. 5:34law of the excess that is a breakdown
  144. 5:36below the support level now it may seem
  145. 5:38confusing but we will clear it out as we
  146. 5:41move further in this video so talking
  147. 5:42about a balance area if the market is
  148. 5:45balanced it means that there are equal
  149. 5:48amounts of buying and selling activities
  150. 5:50and the prices keep moving up and down
  151. 5:53within a particular sideways range now
  152. 5:55when it comes to an imbalance area it is
  153. 5:58when the buyers or sellers are in
  154. 6:00control and the market is imbalanced and
  155. 6:02it will move in the direction of the
  156. 6:04predominant players so if the sellers
  157. 6:07are in control the market will move down
  158. 6:09and if the buyers are in control the
  159. 6:11market will move up now to understand
  160. 6:13this concept of balance and imbalance
  161. 6:16let's move to the chart and see how we
  162. 6:17can apply these key points as you can
  163. 6:20notice in the chart the blue colored
  164. 6:22boxes show balanced areas and these
  165. 6:24areas are areas where both buying and
  166. 6:26selling activities occur at the same
  167. 6:28time or simply the supply is equal to
  168. 6:31the demand because both the buyers and
  169. 6:34sellers are comfortable around this
  170. 6:36particular price range and you can
  171. 6:37notice the price move horizontally or in
  172. 6:40a sideways range
  173. 6:41now once the market moves from a
  174. 6:44balanced state to an imbalanced state
  175. 6:46the price leaves the area with large
  176. 6:48candles and this represents an imbalance
  177. 6:52which means that one of the players
  178. 6:54either the buyers or the sellers exceeds
  179. 6:56or dominates the other so on the chart
  180. 6:59we can see that the sellers exceed the
  181. 7:01buyers and the prices drop with a very
  182. 7:03quick momentum and with strong candles
  183. 7:06once again the market enters a balanced
  184. 7:09state waiting for the price to take a
  185. 7:11directional move to either the upside or
  186. 7:13the downside area and this cycle will
  187. 7:15continue over time so in general the
  188. 7:18cycle of the market is associated with
  189. 7:20balance imbalance balance imbalance etc
  190. 7:23so in a supply and demand strategy we
  191. 7:26will be focusing on spotting these areas
  192. 7:29of balance the reason being we want to
  193. 7:31place our buy or sell orders in these
  194. 7:34areas and we want to profit from the
  195. 7:36imbalance that will move the price in a
  196. 7:38directional point of view but in order
  197. 7:41for you to trade the market imbalances
  198. 7:43you first need to identify the supply
  199. 7:45and demand zones correctly and to do
  200. 7:47that there are a set of rules that you
  201. 7:49have to follow that will help you find
  202. 7:51these zones on any assets that you want
  203. 7:53to trade but before that let me talk
  204. 7:55about the different patterns associated
  205. 7:58with this strategy that we need to be
  206. 8:00aware of actually there are two types of
  207. 8:02structures or patterns that we need to
  208. 8:04learn the first type is reversal
  209. 8:06patterns and the second type is
  210. 8:08continuation patterns so when it comes
  211. 8:10to reversal patterns as you may already
  212. 8:12know reversal patterns are chart
  213. 8:14patterns that are formed when the trend
  214. 8:16reverses its direction that is from an
  215. 8:19up to down or a down to uptrend now when
  216. 8:21it comes to reversal patterns we have
  217. 8:24two structures the first one is a drop
  218. 8:26base rally structure in this structure
  219. 8:29the price is moving in a downtrend
  220. 8:31creating a drop in price which is
  221. 8:32followed by a base structure and then a
  222. 8:35rally in the price towards the upside
  223. 8:38the second structure associated with
  224. 8:39reversal pattern is the rally base drop
  225. 8:42structure so in this structure the price
  226. 8:45rallies up and it creates a base
  227. 8:46structure and it is followed by a big
  228. 8:49drop in price towards the downside
  229. 8:51actually these reversal patterns are
  230. 8:53very strong and the price tends to
  231. 8:55respect them over time the second
  232. 8:57category includes continuation patterns
  233. 8:59which actually signals a trend
  234. 9:00continuation here also two price
  235. 9:03structures are formed the first type is
  236. 9:05the drop based drop structure in this
  237. 9:08structure the price drops and then it
  238. 9:10forms a base structure and then it
  239. 9:13continues moving down breaking through
  240. 9:14the base and second structure is a rally
  241. 9:17base rally here the price rallies up at
  242. 9:20first and then it forms a base structure
  243. 9:23which will then continue moving up
  244. 9:25forming another rally now these
  245. 9:26continuation patterns are found inside
  246. 9:29the trend and most of the time when the
  247. 9:31price tests these structures the price
  248. 9:33tends to break through them and that is
  249. 9:35why we will focus only on reversal
  250. 9:37patterns because they have good odds of
  251. 9:40success compared to the continuation
  252. 9:42patterns now with that information let
  253. 9:44us move on to identifying the supply and
  254. 9:46demand zones on the chart following a
  255. 9:48simple three-step process
  256. 9:50the first step is to identify the
  257. 9:52current market price level so this is
  258. 9:54the easiest step all we have to do is to
  259. 9:56start off by identifying the current
  260. 9:58market price the second step is to look
  261. 10:00to the left from the current market
  262. 10:02price to find extended range candles in
  263. 10:05the last drop or rally so in this step
  264. 10:08we need to find erc type of candles so
  265. 10:11erc stands for extended range candles
  266. 10:13and it is actually a candle that has a
  267. 10:15very large body with little or no wicks
  268. 10:18so if the body's length is equal to the
  269. 10:21length of the wicks it is not actually
  270. 10:23an erc candle and then we have to find
  271. 10:25the origin of the move so once we have
  272. 10:28identified an erc type of candle we have
  273. 10:30either a drop or a rally in price now we
  274. 10:33have to find the origin of that mode the
  275. 10:36origin will actually form the base of
  276. 10:38our supply or demand zone and the base
  277. 10:40is what we require to draw the zones as
  278. 10:43we will see later on this video now let
  279. 10:45us look an example of the entire
  280. 10:47identification process so in this
  281. 10:49example we will start at the current
  282. 10:51price and we look to the left to find a
  283. 10:53drop or a rally in price with at least
  284. 10:56one erc type of candle and once we
  285. 10:58identified an extended range candle we
  286. 11:01will have to identify the origin of the
  287. 11:03move the origin is actually what we call
  288. 11:05the base
  289. 11:06now that we know how to identify the
  290. 11:08supply and demand zones we need to learn
  291. 11:11how to draw our supply and demand zones
  292. 11:13but before that since the market these
  293. 11:15days is highly volatile and on most days
  294. 11:18we see the market gaps up or down in the
  295. 11:21morning it is important to include gaps
  296. 11:23in our training market gaps are
  297. 11:25extremely useful price action structures
  298. 11:28that enables us to identify the supply
  299. 11:30and demand zones so they can act as if
  300. 11:32they are indicators of the market
  301. 11:34imbalances as they indicate clearly
  302. 11:36where the market is going so that we can
  303. 11:38trade accordingly so from my point of
  304. 11:40view gaps are actually leading
  305. 11:42indicators for trading supply and demand
  306. 11:44imbalances so i have made a video on how
  307. 11:47to trade gaps from a price action
  308. 11:49perspective in my free price action
  309. 11:50trading course you can check that out to
  310. 11:52know in depth about market gaps so a
  311. 11:55general reminder a gap is an empty space
  312. 11:58between two candlesticks where the price
  313. 12:00either rises or falls from the previous
  314. 12:02candles close with no trading occurring
  315. 12:05in between them what this represent is a
  316. 12:07big supply and demand imbalance where
  317. 12:10either the supply exceeds the demand or
  318. 12:12the demand exceeds the supply this is
  319. 12:15extremely important for us as it shows
  320. 12:17exactly where the market imbalance is
  321. 12:19located on a price chart so for your
  322. 12:21information a gap up is a gap that
  323. 12:23occurs when the lowest price of a candle
  324. 12:26is above the highest level of the
  325. 12:28previous candle similarly a gap down
  326. 12:31develops when the highest price of a
  327. 12:33candle is below the lowest price of the
  328. 12:35previous candle now when we talk about
  329. 12:37gap fill a gap is considered to be
  330. 12:39closed or filled when the price comes
  331. 12:42back and fills the entire range of the
  332. 12:44gap and once the price fills the gap it
  333. 12:46generally reverts to the direction of
  334. 12:48the prevailing market trend now based on
  335. 12:51the types of gaps we can anticipate
  336. 12:53either the beginning of a new trend or a
  337. 12:55reversal of a previous trend so in
  338. 12:58supply and demand there are actually two
  339. 13:00types of gaps that are important to us
  340. 13:02number one is the professional gap and
  341. 13:04number two are the novice caps now
  342. 13:06talking about the professional gap it is
  343. 13:08a gap that occurs in the opposite
  344. 13:10direction of the prevailing trend take a
  345. 13:12look at this example we have a
  346. 13:14professional gap that is formed in the
  347. 13:15opposite direction of the prevailing
  348. 13:17trend and the price retraces back to
  349. 13:19fill the professional gap and we can see
  350. 13:21the price reverses up from there now
  351. 13:23this kind of gap signals a market
  352. 13:25imbalance is created by professional
  353. 13:28traders and it gives us a great demand
  354. 13:30zone to trade once the price returns to
  355. 13:33fill the gap now the second category of
  356. 13:35gaps are novice cap it is a gap that
  357. 13:37occurs in the direction of the
  358. 13:38prevailing trend itself so a novice cap
  359. 13:41tends to form at the end of the trend
  360. 13:43which will in turn lead to a reversal of
  361. 13:45the trend for example in this chart it
  362. 13:47shows how the novice gaps are formed on
  363. 13:50the chart you can see the price rallied
  364. 13:52creating a gap in the same direction of
  365. 13:54the prevailing trend but then suddenly
  366. 13:56it reverse back down and as you have
  367. 13:58mentioned navi's gaps are located at the
  368. 14:00end of the move and in the chart we can
  369. 14:02clearly see that the move ended and the
  370. 14:04price moved in the opposite direction we
  371. 14:06can also notice that there is a zone
  372. 14:08where the reversal actually started now
  373. 14:10it is very important to understand these
  374. 14:12two types of gaps when trading supply
  375. 14:14and demand because they give us
  376. 14:16important piece of information as to
  377. 14:18where the market is willing to go next
  378. 14:20and finally we will now learn how to
  379. 14:22draw the supply and demand lines on the
  380. 14:24chart in order to draw the supply and
  381. 14:26demand zones we use two lines that we
  382. 14:29place around the base of the zones the
  383. 14:31first line is called as a digital line
  384. 14:33and the second line is called as a
  385. 14:35proximal line as i have mentioned both
  386. 14:37these lines are placed around the base
  387. 14:40to form our supply and demand zones the
  388. 14:42distal line is the outer line of the
  389. 14:44zone which is placed away from the
  390. 14:46current price and the proximal line is
  391. 14:48the inner line of the zone which is
  392. 14:49placed near the current price now let me
  393. 14:52talk about a few things that you should
  394. 14:53keep in mind when drawing the supply and
  395. 14:56demand zones the first and foremost
  396. 14:58thing is that you should have an idea
  397. 14:59about the structure of the base the base
  398. 15:02must actually have less than six candles
  399. 15:04and the candle's body should be less
  400. 15:06than or equal to fifty percentage of the
  401. 15:09candles total range and the price
  402. 15:11leaving the base should have at least
  403. 15:13two extended range candles
  404. 15:15and the base should not have the
  405. 15:17following things that is it should not
  406. 15:19have more than six candles it should not
  407. 15:21only have dodgy candles and we won't
  408. 15:24accept candles with very long tails or
  409. 15:26wicks and we don't accept tear step
  410. 15:29candles in our base so there are reasons
  411. 15:32for this for example if the base has
  412. 15:34more than 6 candles or only has 2g
  413. 15:36candles we ignore it the reason being
  414. 15:38more than 6 candles and only doji
  415. 15:40candles can simply mean that the supply
  416. 15:43is equal to the demand and most of the
  417. 15:45orders are getting filled now having
  418. 15:47less than 6 candles and not a lot of
  419. 15:49doji candles shows a great imbalance and
  420. 15:52more unfilled orders are still waiting
  421. 15:54for the price to retrace back and fill
  422. 15:56them so the zone will remain valid for
  423. 15:59them now what will happen if the base
  424. 16:00has candles with very long tails or
  425. 16:03wicks it simply means that the level is
  426. 16:05a reaction to the previous supply or
  427. 16:07demand zone now these tales shows that
  428. 16:09the market participants went all the way
  429. 16:12down to look for unfilled orders and
  430. 16:14they kept going back and forth until
  431. 16:16they got enough strength to push the
  432. 16:18prices higher so most of the liquidity
  433. 16:21in that area would have already been
  434. 16:23absorbed also a base structure that has
  435. 16:25a stair step candles is actually a low
  436. 16:28probability zone what i mean by a stair
  437. 16:30stepping structure is that one candle is
  438. 16:33closing below the close of the previous
  439. 16:34candle in case of a supply zone and one
  440. 16:37candle is closing above the close of the
  441. 16:39previous candle in case of a demand zone
  442. 16:41now when it comes to drawing supply and
  443. 16:43demand zones there are a lot of
  444. 16:45different options to choose from
  445. 16:46depending upon a person's risk appetite
  446. 16:48in general there are three methods of
  447. 16:50drawing your proximal and distal lines
  448. 16:53based on your risk appetite and how
  449. 16:55conservative are you in your trading
  450. 16:57i'll show you all the three methods that
  451. 16:59you can use to draw the supply and
  452. 17:00demand zones properly and you can choose
  453. 17:02the right method that better suits your
  454. 17:05trading according to your risk tolerance
  455. 17:07we have already discussed that supply
  456. 17:09zones can either have a rally based drop
  457. 17:12or a drop based drop structure to
  458. 17:14correctly identify a supply zone we have
  459. 17:17to start and leave from the current
  460. 17:18market price to find strong bearish
  461. 17:21candles with large bodies or bearish
  462. 17:23ercs in this chart we can see the price
  463. 17:26rallied up in a nice uptrend and it
  464. 17:28posed for a short time creating a nice
  465. 17:30base structure with a few candles then
  466. 17:33the price dropped creating long bearish
  467. 17:36erc candles conforming to a strong
  468. 17:38market imbalance around this supply zone
  469. 17:41and once you identify the zones you want
  470. 17:43to trade you can now draw your lines
  471. 17:45around the base or the origin of the
  472. 17:47move now as i have mentioned there are
  473. 17:49three ways of drawing your supply zone
  474. 17:51the first is the conservative method
  475. 17:53where the distilled line is placed at
  476. 17:55the highest wick of the base and the
  477. 17:57proximal line is at the lowest of the
  478. 18:00body in the basic structure the second
  479. 18:02method is the high risk method where the
  480. 18:04distal line is placed at the highest
  481. 18:07wick of the base and the proximal line
  482. 18:09is placed at the lowest weak of the
  483. 18:11basing structure now if you decide to
  484. 18:13include both the high and low of the
  485. 18:15wick you have in turn increased your
  486. 18:17risk by making your stop losses larger
  487. 18:19than it should be now the third method
  488. 18:21is the lowest method where the distal
  489. 18:23line is placed at the highest wick of
  490. 18:25the base and proximal line is drawn at
  491. 18:28the highest body in the basing structure
  492. 18:30so in a similar manner you can draw the
  493. 18:32lines on a drop based drop structure but
  494. 18:34frankly speaking i'm not a great fan of
  495. 18:37it so i leave it up to you for the study
  496. 18:39now as the price keep retracing back to
  497. 18:41the supply zone we can take advantage of
  498. 18:43these retracements to place our traits
  499. 18:46around the base area you will notice how
  500. 18:48the price retraces up and drops as soon
  501. 18:50as it approaches the supply zone without
  502. 18:52even piercing the proximal line this
  503. 18:54means that large piles of unfilled
  504. 18:56orders are placed around the supply zone
  505. 18:58now the idea is to place your orders and
  506. 19:01wait for the price to return and trigger
  507. 19:04them now in order to identify a demand
  508. 19:06zone we need to start from the current
  509. 19:08market price and move to the left to
  510. 19:11find a nice rally in the price or a
  511. 19:13group of bullish erc candles and also a
  512. 19:16base with less than six candles now we
  513. 19:19are going to do the same thing as we did
  514. 19:21for supply zones but in the opposite
  515. 19:23manner we will start by identifying the
  516. 19:25basic structure to draw our zone then we
  517. 19:27draw the proximal line and the distal
  518. 19:29line using the three methods of drawing
  519. 19:32in the conservative method the distill
  520. 19:34line is placed at the lowest of the wick
  521. 19:36of the base and the proximal line is
  522. 19:38placed at the highest body in the basing
  523. 19:40structure in the higher risk method the
  524. 19:43digital line is placed at the lowest
  525. 19:44tweak of the base while the proximal
  526. 19:46line is placed at the highest wick of
  527. 19:48the basing structure and finally in the
  528. 19:51low risk method the distilled line as
  529. 19:53usual is placed at the lowest wick of
  530. 19:55the base while the proximal line is
  531. 19:57placed at the lowest body in the basing
  532. 20:00structure now as the price keeps
  533. 20:02retracing back up to this demand zone we
  534. 20:05can take advantage of these retracements
  535. 20:07to place our trades around the base area
  536. 20:10and you will notice how the price rate
  537. 20:11raises down and rallies as soon as it
  538. 20:14approaches the demand zone without even
  539. 20:16piercing the proximal line this means
  540. 20:18that a large piles of unfilled orders
  541. 20:20are placed around this demand zone and
  542. 20:22the idea is to place your orders and
  543. 20:24wait for the price to return to trigger
  544. 20:26then and if you decide to include only
  545. 20:29the highest fix for supply zone and only
  546. 20:31the lowest fix for the demand zone you
  547. 20:33are decreasing your odds of getting your
  548. 20:35orders filled by the market price now
  549. 20:37that is why we include a second line
  550. 20:40which largely improves our odds of
  551. 20:42entering into the position as well as
  552. 20:44keeping an eye on the risk factor also
  553. 20:47again when drawing supply and demand
  554. 20:48zones you have to keep in mind both your
  555. 20:51risk exposure and your roads of making
  556. 20:53money now when i talk about gaps the
  557. 20:55apps are actually strong price action
  558. 20:57structures so when it comes to drawing
  559. 20:59supply and demand zones that have gaps
  560. 21:01it is important to know where we need to
  561. 21:03place our distal and proximal line now
  562. 21:06as a rule of thumb we always draw our
  563. 21:09zones at the origin of the gap and not
  564. 21:11after it that is we place the distal and
  565. 21:14proximal lines at the highs and lows of
  566. 21:16the previous days closing prices
  567. 21:18accordingly now we come to the most
  568. 21:20important part how do we trade supply
  569. 21:23and demand zones we buy at the demand
  570. 21:25zones and we sell at the supply zones
  571. 21:28this strategy is pretty straightforward
  572. 21:30all you have to do is to identify fresh
  573. 21:32supply and demand zones to trade then
  574. 21:34place your limit orders either buy or
  575. 21:37sell orders at or beyond the proximal
  576. 21:39line and set your stop losses at or
  577. 21:42beyond the distance line and then wait
  578. 21:44for the price to return to your supply
  579. 21:46or demand zone to trigger your orders
  580. 21:48now take a look at this chart for the
  581. 21:50supply zone the price rallied up paused
  582. 21:53for a little while and dropped with big
  583. 21:55erc candles so we have a great imbalance
  584. 21:58at this price level we draw our supply
  585. 22:01zone and we wait for the price to come
  586. 22:03back and retest this zone and we also
  587. 22:05place our order when the price comes
  588. 22:08back the second time into the zone our
  589. 22:10sell order gets executed and as you can
  590. 22:12see it will be a great success now take
  591. 22:15a look at another example where the
  592. 22:17price drop then pause for a while and
  593. 22:19rallied again with big erc candles
  594. 22:22thereby creating a demand zone on its
  595. 22:24way up now we place our buy orders in
  596. 22:27the proximal line expecting the price to
  597. 22:29return back to the demand zone to absorb
  598. 22:32the unfilled orders now each time the
  599. 22:34price tested our demand zone it triggers
  600. 22:36our buy orders we can see how the price
  601. 22:39is attracted to the zone like a magnet
  602. 22:42now there are times when you're not sure
  603. 22:44if the zone will yield a successful
  604. 22:46trade so what you can do is to wait for
  605. 22:49the price to test the song and give you
  606. 22:51some bullish or bearish evidence before
  607. 22:53placing your order by that way you could
  608. 22:55decrease your chances of entering a
  609. 22:58losing trade again i prefer reversal
  610. 23:00structures for trading because they are
  611. 23:02powerful and the chances of success are
  612. 23:04high compared to the continuation trend
  613. 23:06structures
  614. 23:09i hope you are familiar with the supply
  615. 23:11and demand curves and their relationship
  616. 23:13with prices now to identify the curve in
  617. 23:16charts we need to look at the current
  618. 23:18price and identify the nearest supply
  619. 23:20and demand zones in control now the
  620. 23:22distance between the two proximal lines
  621. 23:25of supply and demand zone that we have
  622. 23:27identified forms the curve that we are
  623. 23:29looking for so in the chart we locate
  624. 23:32the current market price we look up and
  625. 23:34down to identify the closest supply and
  626. 23:37demand zones that we have drawn now
  627. 23:39after identifying the curve we can
  628. 23:41clearly see where the price is located
  629. 23:43if the price is located near the demand
  630. 23:46zone we say that the prices are low on
  631. 23:48the curve when the prices are located
  632. 23:50low on the curve our initial buyer
  633. 23:53should always be to buy early as the
  634. 23:55prices are low the demand is always
  635. 23:58going to be high so the price has a
  636. 24:00potential to move higher take a look at
  637. 24:02another example when the price is
  638. 24:04located near the supply zone in control
  639. 24:06here we only think of selling as the
  640. 24:09price is high on the car given the fact
  641. 24:11that the supply is expected to be on the
  642. 24:13higher side and that the price has the
  643. 24:15potential to move lower now what happens
  644. 24:18when the price is located at half the
  645. 24:20distance that is between the supply and
  646. 24:22demand zones now in such a situation we
  647. 24:24can trade in the direction of the
  648. 24:26prevailing trend but i generally don't
  649. 24:29recommend this as setting your stop
  650. 24:30losses becomes a hard task in this
  651. 24:33condition we say the price is at an
  652. 24:35equilibrium we call it an equilibrium
  653. 24:37because buyers are equal to the sellers
  654. 24:39usually the price keeps moving sideways
  655. 24:42in the area and the curve until one of
  656. 24:44the players exceeds the other that is if
  657. 24:46the buyers exceed sellers we have an
  658. 24:48uptrend movement to the upside pushing
  659. 24:50the prices higher on the curve and if
  660. 24:52the seller succeeds the bias we have a
  661. 24:54downtrend movement to the downside
  662. 24:56pushing the prices lower on the curve
  663. 24:59now you may ask me why is it important
  664. 25:01to identify the curve in the first place
  665. 25:03now this is actually what separates the
  666. 25:05winners from losers in the big game the
  667. 25:08professional traders know that when the
  668. 25:11price is high on the curve they need to
  669. 25:12sell to the retail traders who are
  670. 25:14actually excited to see an uptrend move
  671. 25:17continue so the retail traders jump onto
  672. 25:19the trade and start placing buy orders
  673. 25:22and professional traders actually use
  674. 25:24this high liquidity provided by the
  675. 25:26retail traders to actually short the
  676. 25:28market and move the prices even lower
  677. 25:30now similarly when the retail traders
  678. 25:32see the prices dropping very rapidly
  679. 25:35they think this is a great chance to
  680. 25:37short the market once again the
  681. 25:38professional traders jump on to the
  682. 25:40opportunity to place their buy orders as
  683. 25:43the price enters new low territories on
  684. 25:45the curve signaling a nice bullish
  685. 25:47reversal to the upside this is why it is
  686. 25:50important to identify the curve before
  687. 25:53placing any order so as a general rule
  688. 25:56of thumb we buy when the price is low on
  689. 25:58curve and at the demand zone and we sell
  690. 26:00when the price is high on the curve and
  691. 26:02at the supply zone so when the price is
  692. 26:04at an equilibrium we either trade with
  693. 26:06the prevailing trend or we don't trade
  694. 26:09at all with that i end the first part of
  695. 26:11this two video series and as i have
  696. 26:14mentioned the next video is going to
  697. 26:16deal with odd enhancements and scoring
  698. 26:18which will help you to better use the
  699. 26:20supply and demand concept and put it to
  700. 26:22good use with a higher probability of
  701. 26:24success in the market but in the
  702. 26:26meantime learn back test and improve
