Second, in this closed scenario, the item of interest is a basic want, but not an essential human necessity such as food or water. The last assumption we make is, that the good does not have any substitutes and consumers project that prices will probably remain stable in the future. A market is always in one of three states. First, demand exceeds supply , which implies that there is competition among participants in the market to purchase and this subsequently causes prices to increase.

Second, the market can be in a state where supply exceeds demand , which implies that there is competition among participants to sell and this subsequently causes prices to plummet. And third, the market can be in a state of equilibrium , where there is no competition among participants to buy or sell, because the market is at a price, which enables everyone to purchase or sell as much as they are willing to.

This scenario presents the optimal economic condition, where both consumers and producers of goods and services are satisfied. However, as the market moves away from its equilibrium, competition increases, thus, pushing prices back to equilibrium. In other words, competition eliminates itself by forcing markets back to equilibrium.

Even though equilibrium is where the majority of candles are, investors are not necessarily willing to trade in that area. We will provide an example with oil prices in order to illustrate how supply and demand work together and affect global economy. In case demand for crude oil increases or supply of crude oil decreases, prices of oil futures will usually surge.

As crude oil prices increase, prices of gasoline react almost immediately and surge as well. As prices of gasoline increase, consumers are forced to spend larger amounts of money in order to drive themselves from, say, point A to point B.

And as they spend increasing amounts on oil-based products, they eventually end up having less money than before the surge of oil prices. It is useful to mention, that these factors, which influence the budget of an individual, also impact the budgets of the most renowned corporations and influential governments worldwide.

Let us take Japan as a country, which suffers from high oil prices, as it imports almost all of its oil. This means that every single barrel of oil Japan needs in order to develop its industry, it should buy at some price. Furthermore, Japanese economy is reliant on countrys ability to export the goods it produces to its trading partners, such as the United States and China.

Every car, smartphone, and computer produced in Japan is becoming increasingly money-consuming to deliver to consumers, as oil prices rise. In this case, the country experiences a double strike. First, it needs to import percent of its oil at inflated prices and then it needs to pay inflated prices in order to deliver percent of the goods it produced.

According to supply and demand law, it is obvious in what way an eventual increase in prices of oil would influence the value of the Japanese currency. Oil is always priced and sold in US dollars, so with prices of this commodity rising, purchasers in Japan will need to convert larger amounts of Japanese yen into US dollars in order to pay for oil.

In this case the supply of Japanese currency will be increased in the market and this would cause the Japanese yen to lose value. The distal line is located above the basing candles including the tails. In order to identify a demand zone, we need to find a nice rally in price or a group of bullish candles and also a base with less than six candles.

The chart below shows how the price has dropped down, paused for a little time forming a consolidation structure base: 1 candle , then the price rallied up from the base with very long bullish candles creating a demand zone. In the supply zone, we have one candle at the basing structure. To draw the supply zone correctly, we place the distal line at the highest wick of the base. Then we place the proximal line at the low of the body of the base as shown in the chart above. Price moved down creating a demand zone with three candles at the base.

To draw the demand zone correctly, we place the distal line at the lowest wick of the base. Then we place the proximal line at the highest body of the base candles. If you decide to include both the high and the low of the wicks, you have increased your risk by making your stop larger than it should be.

If you decide to include only the highest wicks for the supply zone and only the lowest wicks of the demand zone, you are decreasing your odds of getting your order filled by the market price. Again, when drawing supply and demand zones, you have to keep in mind both your risk exposure and your odds of making money. We buy at demand zones and we sell at supply zones. This strategy is pretty straight forward.

All you have to do is to identify fresh supply and demand zones to trade. Then place your limit orders at the proximal line and your stop loss at the distal line and then wait for the price to return to your supply or demand zone to trigger your orders.

For supply zone: price rallied up, paused for a little time and dropped with big candles. So we have a great imbalance at this price level. We draw our zone and we place our order and wait for the price to come back and retest this zone. Price came back twice and our sell orders were a success. At the same time, when the price dropped from the supply zone, it created two demand zones in its way up to retest the supply zone. Price rallied up and paused creating a rally-base-rally type of zones.

We placed our buy orders in these two zones. Each time the price tested our demand zones, it triggered our buy orders. Look how the price is attracted to these zones like a magnet. In this chart, the price dropped and reacted to an opposing demand zone on the left side of the chart and rallied up creating a new demand zone. We placed our buy order at this price level and waited for the price to come back and retest the demand zone. Price came back, triggered our order and went up.

The price rallied up, paused creating a base and dropped down. We draw our supply zone and place our sell order and wait for the price to come back. The reason why we placed only one sell order is that when price retested the supply zone the tail of the candle pierced the supply zone. This is a sign that this supply zone is used up and the probability of another sell order to work out will be slim.

In this chart, the price created a rally-base-rally. So we prefer focusing on the structures that develop at the reversal drop-base-rally and rally-base-drop. These are very reliable and strong structures to trade. The price created a rally-base-rally type of structure. We draw our demand zone and waited for the price to test it and trigger our buy order. Price did come back, tested the zone and rallied up as planned. Sometimes if you are not sure if the zone will yield a successful trade, you could wait for the price to test the zone and gives you some bullish or bearish evidence before placing your order.

That way you could decrease your chances of entering a losing trade. Again, we prefer structures at reversal points because they are powerful and chances of success are high compared to within the trend structures. In this example, we have another within-the-trend structure. We wanted to show this trading setup because as we mentioned in the previous example, these structures are not very strong. But you can still trade them, especially if they are located at the beginning of the trend.

Here the base is near the reversal point. This is what made this zone tradable. To identify the curve, we need to look at the current price and identify the nearest supply and demand zones in control.

The distance between the two proximal lines of supply and demand zones we just identified forms the curve. On the chart below, we locate the current price and we look up and down to identify the closest Supply and Demand zones in control.

Now that we have drew the zones, we see clearly that the price is located near the demand zone. We say that price is low on the curve. In the following example, the price is located near the supply zone in control. Here, we only think of selling as the price is high on the curve.

When price is located at half the distance between supply and demand zones, we trade in the direction of the prevailing trend. As shown on the chart, price is located at half the distance on the curve. This is called the equilibrium where buyers equals sellers. Usually price keeps moving sideways in this area in the curve until one of the players exceeds the other one. If buyers exceed sellers, we will have an uptrend movement to the upside pushing price higher on the curve. If sellers exceed buyers, we will have a downtrend movement to the downside pushing price lower on the curve.

Professional traders know that when price is high on the curve, they need to sell to the retail traders that are excited to see an uptrend move.

So the retail traders jump on the wagon and start placing buy orders. Professional traders use the high liquidity provided by retail traders to short the market and move price lower. When retail traders see price dropping rapidly, they think this is the moment to short the market. Again, professional traders jump on the opportunity to place their buy order as price enters low territories on the curve signaling a nice bullish reversal to the upside.

As a general rule, we buy when price is low on the curve and at the demand zone, and we sell when price is high on the curve and at the supply zone. When price is at equilibrium, we trade with the prevailing trend. As a rule of thumb, a final score of 10 out of 10 means that we will place a limit order and wait for price to hit our entry target. A final score between 8 and 9 means that we will use a market order to enter the trade. A final score below 8 simply means that we have no trade.

Good supply and demand zones have a strong move out of the zones. Here we are looking at how the price left the zone. Look how price left the zone. This zone has a score of 0 because price left with small candles.

Now look how price retraced back up and went through this supply zone. As a trader, you should avoid trading weak zones because price will ignore it and pass through it.

The second odd enhancer that we look at is the time that price spends at zone. Good zones have between 1 to 6 candles in the base. Beyond 6 candles the zone might be weak and therefore, resulting in a losing trade. A fresh zone is a zone that has not been tested by price.

As price keeps coming back and testing the zone, the probability that this zone will work decreases. After a second retracement to the zone, it is better not to consider it because there might not be enough supply to push the price lower again. In the first retracement, the price tested the supply zone and moved down, the same happened in the second and third retracements.

After the 3rd retracement, price broke above the supply zone as no more supply was found there. Notice that price penetrates deeper inside the supply zone with each retracemnet.

This is a good signal that shows whether the zone is still valid or not. The last odd enhancer is the reward-to-risk ratio. We need at least a ratio of to consider the zone as valid for trades. On the chart below we have a supply zone that has a score of 10 out of Price created a nice drop-base-drop with large ERC type of candles. This shows the strength of the supply zone. We also have a nice reward-to-risk ratio of more than giving us a good winning opportunity if price retraces back up and test the supply zone.

And wait for price to retrace back up. In the next example, we have a supply zone with a score of 8. The score is between 8 and 9 so we could either wait for price to retest the zone to place our order or wait for it to penetrate the zone and reverse back down out of the zone to place an entry. Here we have a score below 10 and the price has already tested the supply zone so the probability of success is weak and the price might break above the supply zone.

Price did break above the zone and went to test the higher supply zone because it has a higher probability of success.

This is why we should focus more on trading reversal patterns rather than continuation patterns. As the price keeps making new lows, we can only use the supply zone and trade with the trend. On the weekly chart, we draw our weekly supply and demand zones as shown in the chart below.

The price creates a nice rally from the weekly demand zone and now approaching the weekly supply zone. This supply zone is considered very strong. The strength of the move out of the supply zone shows that this zone has a large pile of unfilled orders.

The overall trend is down. Price has created a series of lower highs and lower lows, which confirms the downtrend movement.

Now, we move to the daily chart where we will execute our trade. We identify the daily supply and demand zones around the current price and we look for a zone to place our limit order and our take profit. Price is approaching the daily and weekly supply zones. We expect the price to test these overlapping zones and move down to test the daily demand zone.

Our sell limit order is placed at the proximal line of the daily supply zone. The stop order is placed above the distal line of the daily supply zone. Price tested the overlapping supply zones on the daily chart and moved down to test the demand zone as shown in the chart below. The core concept of trading is to align yourself with big players in the Forex market. This is why it is crucial to learn how to approach the market and with what tools.

Supply and Demand strategy is one of the best tools available to the general public to trade the FX market and mimic the professional trading approach to become consistently profitable in the long run.

Assume that you have a supply zone on a daily chart, you draw your supply zone and you move to a lower time frame, for example the 1-hour chart. You will notice that within the daily zone you drew, you can identify, for example, two supply zones that are inside that daily supply zone. This is useful because it helps you refine your entries, especially if your larger time frame zone is big and you want to minimize your risk of losing too much.

The Ultimate Guide to Master Supply and Demand in Forex.

Supply and Demand represent the two most powerful forces of the forex market. Demand means the number of buyers buying a security in the market. Supply means the number of sellers selling a security in the market. Large supply takes the price to move down and large demand takes the price to move up. Balance in both forces will keep the price in sideways movement. It is the most basic and essential element for technical analysis as well as fundamental analysis.

It is the key to understanding the forex market. Another Main benefit is that we can increase our risk-reward using a tight stop-loss or an open take profit with a breakeven. In a balanced state, the price is moving in a range like moving sideways. Simply means forces of buyers and sellers are balanced. After breakout usually happens in London session of this sideways range movement of price, imbalance in price occur. And after the breakout, the recent range will be called a base zone and the price will again come to this base zone to pick unfilled orders.

Supply and Demand zones are formed on the base region of price on the chart. There are basically two types of movement of price in technical analysis. The impulsive move represents the price movement of market makers. Retracement move indicates base regions where market makers decide their next direction either to go up or down. Price moves from one base region to another base region in technical analysis. These zones are everywhere on the chart I will show you at the end of this Article. See in the chart above Market comes down to this level and just picked orders from the demand zone and went away.

Supply and Demand is the Ever-Green Technique of forex technical analysis. Time matters a lot to identify strong forex supply and demand zones. Because less time spent by the price at a certain base zone indicates a more powerful zone and more unfilled orders at the recent base zone. On the other hand, more time spent by the price at a certain base zone indicates a less powerful zone and less unfilled orders by institutions. Another method to identify strong supply and demand zones is by using the Fibonacci tool.

Most of the Supply and demand zones between Fibonacci Supply and demand trading is not tough. Just simple is to look for the best and fresh base zones and that base zone will act as the entry zone.

Stop loss will be a few pips above or below the base zone depending on the timeframe. For example in the case of Rally base Rally , we will draw a zone at the low and high of the base candle. like in the below image. In the case of RBR, a Pending buy order will be placed one to two pips above the base zone remember to include spread and stop loss will be a few pips below the zone remember to include spread.

The disadvantage of supply and demand zone trading is that this technique will never tell you about the take profit level.

There are many strategies to tackle with this like if you are trading a simple trend line breakout then after trend line breakout and pull back in the price we will confirm precise entry from a demand or supply zone with a tight stop loss and high risk-reward ratio.

The number of Base candles indicates the strength of the zone. More base candles more weak a zone will be. On the other hand, the fewer number of base candles more strong the zone will be. I will show you in chat how to draw zone and some other examples in a single chart.
