Hi everyone, i am having a hard time understanding supply and demand. I heard on websites i searched and rocky's thread, that it is very different from support and resistance. What i grasped is that when there is more demand of a currency, price movves up. When there is less, it goes against. I still can't grasp how this is connected to Forex, and can be used to our trading skills, and make us even more proficient as traders.

All help is appreciated in advance,

Thanks
You think things too hard or maybe it's just too easy for me. Here is a video that may help you : (click here kids!)

I love trading with Supply and demand areas for TP's and SL's etc.

I recommend you read through Phanti's rangebound strategy thread it's where I learn't about it

http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=286900

He starts using pivots and standard S/R but throughout the development of the thread it turns to supply and demand.

jwhitby and bumapatria, I'd suggest you both re-edit your last posts by wiping everything. This thread should be a good one for the newbies and I'm sure your last posts is the opposite. It portrays pessimism and arrogance. jwhitby, try sending him that as a PM next time. Don't wash his dirty linens in public. Bumapatria, there are better ways to resolve issues than destroy your 1st thread with your hands. I'm in no position to judge, but I'd like to still have this thread on my subscription list.
thanks motion. I deleted my post. It should've been one to one.

Hey,

Whereas my...
Job in a bank is good experience but if your a good trader you want to get out of there soon. Like they say, most want to get in, few want to get out.

Job in a bank is good experience but if your a good trader you want to get out of there soon. Like they say, most want to get in, few want to get out.
Aside from experience the average salary in the city is about $400,000 so I wouldn't be complaining there (that's without huge bonuses) however I have spoken to some people that the pressure and strain of sometimes 100hr/week is just to much to handle so ideally for me at least.

for me Ideally I'd work for a bank for 5-7 years build up by saving 750k-1mil and trade my own account and a mere 10% can sustain me.

Anyway cheers for the advice,

Jeremy

Personally here is how I would look at things,

Most supply or demand areas include large wicks or fast rebound areas, I try to note down areas which at the time (when watching how Price action is acting) are showing those kind of early signs that would probably form into S/D areas.

You've got to remember that S/D areas aren't as accurate as Support/Resistance levels where it can go within 0.1 of a pip before correcting, they are more like areas where traders confidence and sentiment shifts from bullish to bearish or vice versa and that's why some stalling may occur as people make up there minds.

Overall I just takes time to see and experience how Price reacts in those areas and quickly enough you'll pick it up!

I posted this chart earlier but seems you were not able to read it correctly. I painted it red and green so you could spot SD better. It reflects current situation.

This is price action. Here's my favorite sentence in video that Sam says that most 'less-smart' traders: "Hey guys, we wait until a green candle to buy, and sell at red. Don't sell there, (pa supply exceeds demand) wait until a red candle..."

Thank you so much goldman, this opened my eyes to the world of forex, and that charts say more than what they are.

Thanks man, and thanks jeremy, that gave me an idea before i watched the video.

Thanks everyone.

What is also useful is how you can know where novice traders, and professionals are in the market. Wow..

Very few, would share this info. Thanks sir,

Goldman, personally, i think you and other pros are rich. How did you come upon this type of knowledge?

I think now you understand why i said that you should remove your indicators, i'm proud of you, now you will start to move in right direction.
If you have more money that you can spend then you don't really care about money, life is short, don't need to waste too much time in front of the screen., better enjoy some women and sunshine

Good luck.
