What is Supply and Demand?

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.

The main bene t of S&D in technical analysis is to capture a Pinpoint entry exactly from
where banks start buying and selling. Another Main bene t is that we can increase our
risk-reward using a tight stop-loss or an open take pro t with a breakeven.

How supply & demand works?

There are two types of states of the price of a security in technical analysis

Balanced state
Unbalanced state
In a balanced state, the price is moving in a range like moving sideways. Simply means
forces of buyers and sellers are balanced. Both of them don’t have the ability to create a
trend either bearish or bullish trend. 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 un lled orders.

How to identify supply and demand zones?

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.

Impulsive move
Retracement move
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.

S&D Trading is to just gure out zones to open and close orders.

There are four basic concepts of demand and supply in forex.

Rally Base Rally (RBR)

Rally Base Drop (RBD)
Drop Base Rally (DBR)
Drop Base Drop (DBD)

Key Points
Simple Formula = Big candle + base candle + Big Candle

Body to wick ratio of the big candle should be more than 75%
Body to wick ratio of the base candle should be less than 50%
Have a look at the picture below

These zones are everywhere on the chart I will show you at the end of this Article. The
Above image is of Drop Base Rally type of S&D. 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.

How to draw supply and demand zones?

A Price Action Trader's Guide.

 A Price Action Trader's Guide

To draw a Supply or Demand zone, follow the following steps

Measure the range of the base region of price on the chart

Mark the highest and lowest point of the base region on the chart
Draw a zone by meeting the highest & lowest points of the region, then extend it
appropriately to right on the chart of a currency pair
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
un lled 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 un lled 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 61.8 and 78 levels are
stronger.

During drawing a base zone in forex supply and demand trading, remember to not go far
back in history for nding a base zone because it’s common sense that institutions will
not be going to hold their trades for years or months during intraday trading. I’m not
talking about swing or long-term trading here.

How to trade supply and demand?

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 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).

Key Point to Remember:

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.

Unlimited zones
Now I will explain How the supply and demand zone is everywhere in the chart just you
need the right angle to see the chart like a pro. A pro trader never changes timeframes
again and again. A pro trader can analyze all the timeframes just from a single timeframe.
Now Let me show you a chart.

Example to trade supply & Demand with con uence

of Trend line
The supply and demand zones in forex are used for the exact entry point with a tight
stop loss. Price moves from one zone to another zone. I don’t use supply and demand to
nd take pro t level. Here I will explain a simple trend line breakout system with supply
and demand zone. This is just to show you how it will work. Any strategy with the supply
and demand zone technique will improve your method a lot.

Trend line method with S&D

There is a good trendline drawn in the image below. After the breakout of the trend line,
the price gave a pullback to the demand zone to ll the un lled orders and start a new
impulsive move. Big moves show the direction of market makers and big banks.

The Stop-loss level is just below the demand zone and entry in on the high of demand
zone. It is a high risk-reward setup shown to you for clari cation of supply and demand
zone trading.

General rules to follow

Four things to remember while looking for a supply or demand zone

Time spent by price in base zone

Number of base candles
Time price took to pull back towards a base zone
Location of Supply or Demand zone

How to trade rally base rally demand zone?

A simple and straightforward rule of trading demand zone is to buy from that zone.

There are two methods to trade rally base rally demand zone

After formation of base zone, if price suddenly pullback towards the base zone, then
you should buy from base zone at the price pull back towards zone.
If price did not pull back just after zone formation, then you should wait until the
price to come back to the zone and form a bullish candlestick pattern.
A bullish candlestick pattern at the base zone will increase the probability of winning. By
doing this, you will be able to lter out bad demand zones from the crowd.

Procedure to trade by using candlestick pattern

After drawing the demand zone, wait for the price to pull back towards the zone and
form a bullish candlestick pattern. Place a stop loss below the demand zone. You must
hold your trade until 1:2 risk-reward, then close the trade partially and break even the
trade. Hold the rest of the trade until you get a huge risk reward.

How to trade Drop base rally pattern?

Likewise in the other three supply & demand patterns, there are also two methods to
trade a DBR pattern.

In Method 1, the price will pick pending buy orders of traders by touching the demand
zone just after the formation of the DBR pattern on the chart. It is the best method
because the price takes a minimum time to return to the zone.

A Price Action Trader's Guide.

In Method 2, the price will take time to return to the demand zone. It means it will return
to the demand zone after a full swing wave or more than one wave.

A demand zone will be weak if price will take more time to return to zone
A demand zone will be strong if price will take minimum time to return to zone
To trade with the second method, you should add a con uence of bullish candlestick
patterns at the zone. It means when the price will return to the zone then you should
wait until the price forms a bullish candlestick pattern (bullish pin bar) at the zone.

In Summary
If you want to ask me about the most basic concept of technical analysis, then I will say
“supply and demand”. There is always a tug of war between supply and demand in the
market. Base zones are the footprints of market makers, When you will try to read the
price on the chart, you will see price picking orders from one base zone and then staying
for a while on another zone.

I will recommend you to backtest this supply and demand trading method by taking at
least 100 samples. This will improve your trading a lot. Without backtesting, you will not
be able to learn it properly.

Teach a Parrot the terms ‘Supply and Demand’ and

you’ve got an Economist.
