Hi Guys Can anybody help me to explain about EMA_Line (D1 20 EMA) Thank you
It's just an indi that puts a horizontal line on all timeframes to show where the daily 20 EMA would be if it were on the timeframe you're viewing. You would only watch the point of the line to the far right side of the chart.

Hi Srt Thanks for your clarification .. i still in the process to understand Alfonso's method .
OK, now that you've read my last post, I've deleted it :-) Alfonso's method really has nothing to do with MAs. There's a few hundred threads that work with MAs so this isn't the thread to discuss how to use them.
If you want to study supply & demand, Alfonso has explained it in more depth than any thread I've seen. Everything is in post #1.

I got this picture from your last post {image} and this's the picture in my chart {image} you can see 2 of pictures above when S&D area pile up, the color in my pictures not same with yours. Is there any setting to this probs? I can't find this setting in my chart... what's the differences? Regards, Sonigl
Look in the settings of the rectangle reader and find the following highlighted setting (sup-retouch) and make sure it is darkgreen.

Hello Sonigl,
there is no setting for this. It's just mt4, which shows the backgroung (color) when you overlay 2 rectangles of the same color.

Hi Alfonso:

Trust you are having a good weekend.

I had a question regarding the originality of a level:

If it is a Daily Drop Base Rally or Rally Base Drop, to check if it is a reaction to something on the left, do you look at daily itself or go down to the 4 hour or 1 hour?

Similarly, to check if a DBR or RBD is original on the 4 hour, do you look at 4 hour itself or go to either the daily or 1 hour?

Thank you,

The answer is simple to that. You should answer that one yourself. If I am trying to learn if a d1 zone is original or fresh, why should I look at the h4 or h1?If you want to learn the car you are going to buy is used, will u go to different car shops to ask if the car you are going to buy has been used in any of them? It makes no sense.

A level is original or fresh based ONLY on the chart the level has been detected. Don't make things more complicated than they already are my friend.

Enjoy ur weekend!

I'm very glad that your trading has improved that much after watching most of the material available my friend! Happy to help! Wish most people did the same thing you did, most will not read the rules or watch the videos, there is a lot of information on them... most answers will be answered in them as well as Post #1. Next the only thing that can be done is testing the rules for months to get the confidence and make rules second nature to you.. That takes months, not just just a couple but MONTHS.

I understand completely. I've been studying this method for some time now, and visually speaking i think i have a very clear understanding of how you approach s/d. The rules are becoming more and more clear but yes after lots of months of study i think it will be natural for me.

One very important thing is that if you are trading another strategy, which is your case, you are trading the Sonic R. System.... you might run into problems, why? You need to focus on one single strategy and believe in it, become a master... or you will trade to outmart the Sonic R. System or even the supply and demand rules over here, believing you can merge them or on can help the other become better. Don't do that, don't lie to yourself, don't mix things up. Most of us won't be able to trade multiple strategies at once successfully, not even a single one

Decide what you think makes more sense to you and concentrate on it until you become a master at it. That's my humble recommendation!

ah.. i forgot my trade explorer is still running i stopped using sonic about 3 weeks ago. Don't get me mistaken, i get distracted by learning so i don't focus on the little things like my FF account

From time to time, depending on my availability I will be creating a small trade of the week video so that you can see how supply and demand works. Some of these trades will be losses, losses are part of the game and they should not affect at all at your trading plan or how you look at the next valid trade as dictated by the rules.

This is the kind of analysis that I post every week for 20+ instruments at the community. But it's not just me who posts potential trades, we're a community so many others add their 2 cents.

GBPUSD D1/H4 longs

  1. Monthly, Weekly, Daily and H4 timeframes are up
  2. It broke above an important resistance and supply in bigger timeframes
  3. All we can do is buying all valid levels that match the rules

S&P 500 e-mini D1/H4 longs

  1. Monthly, Weekly, Daily and H4 timeframes are up
  2. It broke above all time highs, it's been doing that for weeks over and over again
  3. All we can do is buying all valid levels that match the rules

Losses? Who cares, take all valid setups! Losses are part of the game, about 30-50% of your trades will be losses, you just can't be ignored. Don't think about losing them, Tennis players like Nadal or Federer won't think about missing a drive every time they hit the ball, they believe all points they play will be winners, but they know there will be MANY losses.

Hi Alfonso, I am interested to know if you are spotting your trades via an EA or doing it manually? Is it possible to code this as an EA? How much time do you spend a day trading this strategy (swing and position)? Is there a best time each day to do the analysis? Thanks.

I have my own ea doing most of the work for me, semi-automated ea for my personal use only, since I don't believe in full automation, manual work needs to be done.It normally takes me about 30 minutes a day, sometimes less, to go through about 50 instruments. Once you have done the swing and position analysis once, next day things won't have changed much. It just need a experience and practice, then you will have lots of spare time to enjoy life, this is why I do swing and position and not intra day, I use trading as a means yo get a better life = time = quality of life.. But it takes time, like all good things in life.Alfonso
