In my experience of trading it works the most.

Thank you for sharing this. Been wanting to add supp/dem to my toolbox.

thanks for sharing these valuable information.

Great information there adelzadh. I stumbled upon supply and demand trading about a year ago. Great stuff. Something that helped me improve my odds was VSA. Though tick volume isn't actual volume, it has helped tremendously. I'm sure there is something I will pick from the pdf. Thanks

if a broker or anyone else is telling you that tick volume etc is of no value. then you can bet your ass that it has the most value out of any other thing used.

have you looked into vsa studies on 6e (euro futures)? and subscribed

I've been doing this kind of retracement trading for years, except i use Fibonacci instead of supply/demand lines to determine the price where I want to trade.

The risk reward aspect I think is about the most important thing in trading.

Great stuff here. In my first few months of trading I took an introductory class at Online Trading Academy, which Sam Seiden has founded. This was probably one of the best things I stumbled upon since it boiled everything down to market fundamentals of supply and demand. To think of it, I could spent years navigating through hundreds of strategies, indicators and averages before even learning the basics.

Looking forward to reading the file you've posted. Thanks so much!

hallo traders can somebody help i dont understand supply and demand zones

Go to Youtube and watch Sam Seiden videos until you get it. Good luck and don't quit learning.

I have used this method on a demo account 3 months ago, limiting myself to 4hour and daily zones, managed to 4x my initial balance in 1 month. Using real money now, it is a struggle at break even. I'd like to ask you a few questions.
1. In his older videos () he talk about using drop-base-rally/rally-base-drop zones and avoiding rally-base-rally and drop-base-drop. However, following him on fxstreet, i'm seeing only exclusive use of RBR/DBD zones. Are the DBR/RBD zones just further out on the curve on the higher timeframes?

2. If its true that DBR is stronger than a RBR, then would you take the DBR zone if it formed by retracing into an RBR zone and based for a bit? does the level count as a retrace, or as its own zone, or a level upon-level?

1) What I've observed is when a market is trending, the RBR and DBD zones are in control. But not all of them, just the most recent or proximal to price zone.
If that RBR or DBR is removed / broken, then the large trader that is creating the trend has exited the market and will likely not come back.
So a logical strategy is to then go with the trending price action at all RBR and DBD proximal zones as long as the most proximal zone is not removed. Ignore all others more distal toward the origin of the move.
In a rally situation for example, to me this means there is some trader or algo that is buying non-stop and the RBR zones are where some balance occurred for some opposing selling or profit taking reason. The exact point of breakout from the RBR (the proximal entry line) is the exact point of imbalance, where the algo or trader began to not get filled at the balance / RBR zone price. That imbalance point is what the bet is. That the large trader or algo will reload on the longs to fill the most proximal imbalance point.
RBRs and DBD zones are WITH TREND setup zones. And even then only the most proximal zones are logically usable because the removal of the most proximal zone logically means that the large entity has exited the market and did not come back.

2) In theory DBR and RBD zones are stronger if they are formed with a good strong price departure. That strong price departure would presumably be created by a higher timeframe participant. That large trader is creating a new demand or supply curve on the large timeframe. So a fresh and original zone at the origin of the curve is the best because it is where the larger trader sees as the extreme of the curve. He wants to buy extremely low in the curve or sell extremely high in the curve but he didn't get filled as he started filling orders. So when price comes back, he's got the bulk of his orders still sitting at the imbalance point of the RBD or DBR zone.
To answer your question, Yes. If the HIGHER timeframe (2 fractal levels above the execution timeframe so 4 hour if using 15min execution) was in a strong rally and left behind a Proximal RBR zone, I'd be anticipating that price could rally from it. Then on the execution timeframe I want to patiently wait for a DBR, ideally followed by a removal or double top of the nearest execution timeframe supply zone created by a Strong departure / strong extended range candles / engulfing candle (on the higher timeframe), and then enter at the DBR.
The logic would be that the higher timeframe is in control at the proximal RBR. Then the smaller timeframe sells off into it. When the last selling leg supply zone is then taken out, redefining the auction curve into a Demand curve on the execution timeframe, removing all smaller timeframe limit sell orders from the book with the double top or removal of the supply zone, paving the way for the larger timeframe to get filled at their desired prices against the DBR zone. You jump on board at the execution timeframe DBR and let the higher timeframe defend its position from the higher timeframe RBR.

So NO ZONE stands on its own. EVERY smaller timeframe zone is IN CONTEXT to a larger timeframe zone.

Right now a 1Hr Supply level was hit. Chart 1
Price falls away, as expected.
When price falls away, it created a Supply level right below the 1HR supply level on the 5min chart. Chart 2
That's how I go about it.
When price touches a higher timeframe level, you wait for it to trade away from it and then on a lower timeframe you trade a newly formed level.

It works. Chart 3
