Here is a 4 hour chart of the aud usd.

Is price closer to higher time frame supply or demand?

what is the higher probability: to go long or short?

(this does not mean the 5 mn level is not gonna work)
the 4H demand is not fresh i am looking for the 1.056 area to sell

a loss
Ken, i'm aware that you have an aversion to showing losers and that I may have rattled your cage once or twice on the last thread by putting them up but - and this is purely my take on it - I think it's very healthy.

If traders following you only see winner after winner, they may take away a warped perception of what is and is not achievable with your approach and in the markets more generally. It helps to promote the idea that losing is all part of winning in trading and that you have to learn to deal with them somehow. What it'll also do it either demonstrate that they can happen, evne when all the ducks are in a row but also that they can happen when mistakes are made and people will see them and hopefully keep in mind to avoid the same trap. You can save people a lot of heartache and money that way.

I'm glad you had the balls to show your error and I personally would welcome more.

In line with what trotty have said.

I believe that I as a newby would also learn on the mistakes people make, especially if i could analyze why it went wrong.

I would like to also post some losing trades when I would have them and let others comment freely.

i am in the process of reading the whole thread, and i already find it a goldmine of information.

much thanks. and happy trading to you all.

what the difference time settings on platforms make. I have a spinning top right where that touched and zoomed into a 30 min a perfect level. But hey a 55 gains is great too.

Way to go..

I agree but sometimes by error or just human nature people focus on the bad information , instead of the good and can find themselves looking at why a trade would fail. I would rather have them look for the correct entries.

Not every chart i post is a trade just showing the possibilities and the setups that did happen throughout the day. Basically doing the homework I try and get everyone to do. To look back and see how the idea your trying to trade worked or didn't.

Thanks for your advice and glad to see you stop by. Hope your trades are doing well. Please feel free to contribute if you feel like it.

Your trade was excellent , Just your chart didn't show it as clear. I look for those doji's and spinning tops for swap levels. It wasn't on yours. might bee my time is wrong , . The key is you took the trade ,

Not advice mate, I know all too well you don't need that when it comes to organising a class thread

Just some food for thought maybe, a different look at things. I learn a great deal from looking where folk have gone wrong. Maybe not as much as where they have got it bang on but enough to make it worth me paying attention to. I analyse my own losing trades to death.

Anyway, all's well thanks and I have been following here. I am finding i'm using S+D in my trading more and more as time moves on so I will be sure to contribute at some point. I don't expect a free ride!

Hi all,
I m trading supply & demand as well. But I got a problem. I m doing analysis before doing any trades starting from higher TFs to lower TFs and more specific Daily,H4,H1,M30,M15,M5... the point is where you stop? Because when you overanalyse a graph then supply demand is EVERYWHERE!!!

Also I like trading lower TFs like 15M or lower but at these levels I have notices that demand&supply levels break very easily... is it just my idea?

Any thoughts?

Just came from work. Today morning before i left for office i took a trade on NZDJPY on the 5m.

attached are the results.

Note: all my trades are live.

I suggest all newbies, that once you get hang of S/D levels, you start small with live account. Demo can only take you so far.

You answered your question , There are levels everywhere. But the key is when they all align. that would be the perfect trade, Normally. Looking at different times is great. But it should be a task looking for a least risk entry based on your greater time frame charts.

If price action is slow then we can look at a faster chart for scalping opportunities, But this is a different function separate from the multi time frame analysis.

I would still recommend looking for levels on a slower chart even if your taking the entries off a fast one. maybe a time frame or two up , Like I look for areas on a 30 minute then if it is very slow may look at a 5 min for a entry. But use the 30 min for current trend, I say current trend a good deal . to me that is the trend that price action is showing me right now . it maybe be completely different than a long term trend.

like right now i would look for longs as i see higher lows. since this morning.

I also like the swap levels. They are not always clear on a given chart so some investigation is sometimes required. WE have all heard this a million times support becomes resistance and visa versa. With S/D we now just know why, Plus we can now find a level to trade form without waiting for candles and the such, A plus in my opinion.

A start when looking for a swap level is a straight line. Showing many turns both up and down . then if a level isn't visible on the current chart start looking the longer the chart the bigger the possible trade.

why didn't you exit to the red area? I suppose it was too close.

lol , that red area didn't even exist when i took the trade. I just saw the next supply level when i took the trade and set my target there, which was about 20 pips.

Note this was a Pending order. I usually monitor my trades. But i have to start to learn to set POs other i won't get anywhere with monitoring trades all day + the day job..
