Hello Akt,

I have a questions about this setup, If you setup a set and forget on the supply on the 1H, wouldn't the order be in an area that meant downside momentum is broken?

Hey guys,

My analysis in AUDUSD this week.

1.Fresh demand created from the removal of supply to the left on D1
2.Bullish Momentum established on 4h
3.Fresh Demand located on 1h with respect to 4h momentum.
4.(Bonus) 1h DZ is at .618 retracement

Any comment especially criticism greatly appreciated!

I think it has nothing real with order flow. Read about FMIND5 order flow

Hi Akt, thank you for sharing. I have a question, on daily, why would you consider that a zone?
Thank you.

hello everyone,

here is my Idea on EURAUD

Daily curve


240min momentum


60min entry

Depending on the approach I would certainly feel comfortable with this one Well spotted

Yes, I also think that zone might work, but before that I'm thinking going long from that H1 demand zone.

Well, if you say so...
I personally don't like the quality of that daily demand zone and my H4 demand zone is narrower.
Besides this I'm also keeping an eye on H1 demand zone. My only worry is that it was created in Asian session and I don't think that the EU and US traders have the same plans.

hello everyone,

sorry for asking stupid questions but I have another one :-)

lets say we have a D/4HR/1HR sequence. on the daily is a Daily supply zone and on the 1hr a supply zone has been created inside of the Daily.

Where do my stops go? above the 1hr zone or daily? I would guess the 1hr time frame.

Hello Blasterh22

Do you refer to the demand or to the supply please?

Hello bhopris

Correct, and that is exactly what you want to see on the smaller timeframe, price turning and heading into the big picture level

Hello T4i
thank you for sharing your idea on the EURAUD.

If i may, considering that the daily remains in an uptrend, shorting at the 4hr SZ with where prices are sitting is a challenge.
It may be preferable for the daily to actually show selling pressure to add more probability to the short.
One to watch to see if we get that.

Thank you for sharing

Hello T4i

Above the 1hr supply, unless that 1hr supply is at the extreme of the daily SZ, in which case the stop would automatically be outside the daily as well as the 1hr zone

best wishes

Hello everyone.

A new chapter in the T.I.O.F series

THIS IS SPECULATION

It has been opined that 80% of the trading activity in the foreign exchange markets are for speculative purposes whilst only 20% are for actual, real economic purposes.
There are several different participants in the markets, from large investment banks, mutual fund and large multinational companies, to the average mom and pops trader, trading from the comfort of their homes.

All participants on the speculation side of the markets have only one aim when all is said and done....to make money. By this, i mean to have more at the end of each day, week, month or quarter, than they started out with.

Now, contrary to popular belief that the banks always make money and retail always lose money, we know for a fact that many of these banks and big institutions have losing quarters. That's right, losing quarters in a row at times. Yes, that means the bank was in draw-down for 3 months or 6 months or even longer at times.
We retail traders have a losing week or a losing month and we are ready to quit! We start tweaking our system or worse still, abandon it entirely and go looking for another system. System-hopping, searching for that system, that one tweak that will mean we will never experience the pain of that losing month or week ever again.

The more accurate summation is that speculation being what it is, means NO-ONE actually knows with any certainty what is going to happen in a market. In that sense therefore, it is a level playing field. We are all speculators.

People use a framework to try to make sense of the information the markets provide. These frameworks will differ from person to person, from locality to locality.
It could be elliott wave, or ichimoku clouds, or fibonacci or indicator based systems or heaven forbid, supply and demand analysis.

So, is there really any benefit to be gained in the exercise a lot of us, retail and institutional traders alike, engage in, comparing one framework to another?
If no-one actually knows what price will do with any certainty, how can claims of one system being better than another even be a consideration?

Surely all the frameworks used by market participants will have periods when they will work. They will even have periods when they will concur with each other and for sure, periods when they will diverge. Ultimately, it is the voice of the people, the markets, that will carry through. A true democracy, a system determined by the people (traders, the market), for the people.

The more important consideration for the speculator must therefore be, of all the different frameworks out there through which i can understand market information so as to make informed calculated bets, which one best suits me, my state in life right now and my personality?. Which one do i understand and can therefore teach someone else?. Which one makes sense to me both logically and intuitively?

That may be a more useful exercise rather than continuing to ask "what is the best method to trade?".

This is speculation. There is no "best method".

I wish you well

best wishes

What a great description of the markets..! Thanks for sharing Akt.

Not really lots of people understand how market works

I concur, the daily DZ isnt pristine
