add vol to ur chart. when price aproaches that area, if vol is increasing on down bars and the result is bull candles, then take profit etc…if vol is low, it could continue…just a sugestion so u can stay in a trade longer. cheers
i dunno if i m right or wrong, all i see right now a daily range (middle) and low vol at higher prices that were made today so that might suggest to me that there isn t much interest in selling UJ, but ofc it has to retrace specially since asia is close by. even if price comes there where i m looking for buys, if vol isn t there (activity) i ll pass. ussually when price aproaches a resist or support and vol is low, means there s no interest from sellers at resist or buyers at support, and often it breaks and continues. anyways, just saying watch it or better yet, SL at BE at R1, and let it play out, but atleast u have no more risk on the table and less stress. cheers

Volume added. Also, increase D Zone to reflect 3rd buying wave…therefore, TP moved up slightly.
This is starting to get more complicated then I like, but let’s see what info I get out of it.
dude, there s no reason to go crazy on analysis, just note that if vol is low at support or resist it might range or break and continue. also with the targets be realistic, if u play the daily swings then yeah, do the analysis there and look for an entry on 1hr, it s what i also look at. but my motto is SL at BE at R1 to take the edge off and let it run, ofc if there s no trouble in sight. but when ur in mid of a possible daily range, with no clear direction, it s good to be a bit more cautious. also on daily prie made a lower high, so trying to short it for bigger gains can be a tad out of reach. sure the over all trend is down, but unless ur a position trader with a SL to match that, it s gonna be tough. anyways, try and make ur trades risk free as soon as possible and still give them room to run, if it s meant to be a winner it will be, but u won t sweat it much, afterall, it s just 1 of many more trades to come. 1 thing i hate is letting a good trade turn into a loser, that s why i enforced upon myself the R1 rule. not before, just so i can keep some sort of risk reward in check.
EURCAD was a nice short today also, was there watching it but didn t took the trade cos of daily bias, even tho on the 4hr and 1hr were 10 things screaming sell 
and it went to R1 and it could still go lower, but c est la vie, there will be other trades.
stay green
PS: 1 last thing i wanna add before i forget lol
an engulfment or a pin at support and resistance are nice signals, but u wanna have a probability also of knowing if that support is gonna hold or not. that s why i got into studying volume. cos till i discovered vol, i d get eaten alive trying to sell at resist and buy at support on candle patterns, often times they do just that, u ll see a nice pinbar at resist on low vol or really high vol and the next bar breaks resist stopping people out. anyways, not much analysys needs to go into that, but only having vol on chart and knowing that if the vol is low at support means no activity, therefore buyers aren t that interested can save u a lot of headaches sometimes. hope this helps cos it sure helped me.
cheers bud

USDCHF - I don’t trade this pair but looking at the chart you posted it looks like a classic trend change to the upside. Price may not get to your DZ before heading upward. Hope I’m wrong but proceed with caution.

Always appreciate tips, that’s what this thread is all about. Sometimes you’re so caught up in something new and exciting that you forget to look at the bigger picture.
@QuadPip posted a video about supply and demand here and I instantly took an interest in the subject and needed to educate myself further. But, you can’t forget, your strategy is only as good as your knowledge of the markets. So really, if you know how the markets move then you can pretty much make any strategy work. But you have to see the forest, not just the trees.

I have adjusted my SL to be safe. I do expect a longer term downside with this pair though. Looking at the monthly I can see it moving to 0.88 area.
i suggest u read this before going deeper into that. to me, supply or demand is materialised thro vol, thus weakness and strenght, but i draw my support and resist not based on suply zone or demand zone, that s bogus…a level that rejected price previously might get crashed afterwards, and why? cos all the retail stops and buy stops etc are gonna be there and so forth. like with anything, forward test, not backtest, cos that s just lieng to urself since ur only human and objectivity is very difficult to achieve specially when it comes to money. so put those notions to the test and see what gives. bottom line, u can trade only based off support and resistance, wait for retest, and go in, and still be succesfull, maybe a lower win rate but profitable nontheless. cheers

Wow! That’s something! It’s amazing how many people are involved in ripping off the trading community. Very sad!
However, supply and demand zone analysis is a valid analysis methodology. It is not Sam’s invention. And the reason I point people to it is because it is really based on the fractal nature of markets. I don’t believe that the markets move as a result of buying and selling activity. It is entirely algorithmic, IMO and the more I learn the more entrenched I become in that belief.

i ve no idea what ur talking about when u said the above. i don t agree or disagree with u lol. i saw sam seiden and it immedietly reminded me about that thread and stuff linked to supply and demand concepts. forex is a decentralised market, and even so the algorithm BUYS and SELLS lol. what do i care if it s a human or a machine behind as long as there is a buyer and a seller. even better cos the algos are cleaner and leave repeatable traces, cos are algos after all.
as for the hole concept of supply and demand, ofc it works, simple trendline trading works 2. but when i say supply and demand i m talking about large orders, entities flooding the instrument taking large positions in order blocks (cos they need to divede the main order in smallers 1s or they won t get filled or price will mark up or down to fill those orders agaist them and they won t get a good price anymore. it s a hole concept but the bottom line is that he @MattyMoney needs to test whatever concept before implementing it. that was my hole point.and the link i sent was just cos it regards the topic at hand, i ve no bias personally if supply and demnad zones work or not, nor have i ever studied or read anything related to sam seiden. but i did a lot on supply and demand( not zones).

From what I’ve read recently, Sam Seiden’s teachings of S/D are wrong. He taught all his students that market movement is due to pending orders made by banks, not market orders, as well as a couple other things. So ya, he’s been discredited for a while now.
Oh, no no … I read my post and I can see how I may have come across as argumentative. I’m not arguing anything you said, LOL.
In fact, thanks for the link about Sam Seiden being charged. I was lamenting the fact that we have too many charlatans in the industry.
But some of the forum member messages at the link you provided, were conflating Sam’s deceptive practices with supply/demand analysis being faulty. I was merely clarifying that one has nothing to do with the other. And, I have no vested interest in either Sam or Supply/Demand.
It’s all good! 
Interesting theory indeed.
again, i ve just posted that link cos it popped up in my head when i saw sam seiden.
what he teaches or if it works or not? i ve no idea, i just think 1 should have as much knowledge at hand if possible to make an informed decision.
yeah bud, no worries, like i said, i don t agree nor disagree, and i prefere to not have opinions on a topic i ve never dove into. on supply and demand i could write ages, but for the topic at hand i d rather not. it could work, after quite a few years of trial and error i ve come to the conclusion that even a simple macd strategy works lol, it s only the trader that is unable to perform and maintain a mindset and a clear vision, specially when fear or greed takes over, or a string of losses occur. so my 2 cents is learn to lose. that was my biggest hurdle.
cheers
Yup! I can show you stuff in price action that will lead you to the same conclusion. There can be no other explanation that I can think of. It’s quite fascinating really.
i might agree with that. why? simply because large corporations, banks, even LPs, are using algos for a better execution and therefore a better price. but like i said, even the algos are designed by humans, so unless there s some new revolutionary concept that completly changes the view over the markets, same basics apply, atleast imho.
pardon my grammer, really tired. cheers
AUDCAD 4H - Is presenting a good sell opportunity. It has bounced off the MA48 several times and is at the top of a descending channel. Also, CAD looks to be strengthening as oil is on the rise.
I will be looking to short this one in the morning.
This pair was in an uptrend since March, until a month ago and seems to have finally turned a corner.
take some profit of UJ or set BE just to be safe dude

USDCHF - This one retraced and triggered my SL. Small gain, no loss.
USD could be active in a few mins with news events on the schedule.
