    Supply and Demand Trading

    Supply and Demand is the heart of a market economy [Capitalism]. Since market economy
    is based on exchange of goods and services for a value, for it to function there has to be
    some goods and services on offer [supply] and people who are willing and able buy them
    [demand]. Supply and Demand in textbooks look as two separate things for study purposes
    but in reality they are strongly interconnected. One cannot exist without the other.

    In an ideal open market, prices are defined by supply and demand, creating a base
    framework for allocating resources in the most efficient way possible. However, in reality
    this is not always the case. Monopolies and regulators in certain sectors or systems can
    define prices as they like regardless of buyers. Prices may also be manipulated by
    speculators unnaturally thus overriding basics laws of supply and demand.

    As it can be seen on the above illustrations, suppliers will produce more when prices going
    up while buyers will increase their demand when prices are going down. A clear conflict of
    interest supposes to create a healthy and efficient market.

    That's in theory, but in reality we know that there are situations when prices are going up
    but suppliers will not increase their output unless there are healthy competition. Or buyers
    will not increase their buying even if prices are going down when they don't have a buying
    power.

    CHAPTER 1 UNDERSTANDING BASIC PATTERNS

    DBR forms the DEMAND ZONE RBD forms the SUPPLY ZONE DBD forms the SUPPLY ZONE RBR forms the Demand ZONE

    (Note: The last alphabet can help us to remember - D is Supply and R is Demand)

    CHAPTER 2 THE GOLDEN RULES OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND TRADING

    1. ALWAYS SELL AT SUPPLY


    2. ALWAYS BUY AT DEMAND
    3. ALWAYS LOOK TO THE LEFT OF THE CHART

    We can confirm the trend of the CS whether will form a SUPPLY or DEMAND zone by ensuring there is a
    significant drop (for Supply) and rally (for Demand) from the base area it has just formed (the significant CS
    exceeds the close or open of its previous CS). With this we now know that the new area of Supply or Demand
    has formed. Begin drawing all the zones on the chart; identify each of the zones and CS types.

    Once the demand or supply zone has been drawn, the area can be further refined by looking at the lower
    Time Frame (TF). This will then lower the Stop Loss. Stop Loss is placed slightly above the supply or demand
    zone. The Take Profit (TP) area can be identified by looking at the chart and identifying all the areas of supply
    and demand in conjunction with OANDA order book. This will help to gauge the area better as OANDA shows
    the high liquidity area with many traders have Sell or Buy limit positions.

    Do not buy or sell outside the Supply and Demand area as these are the areas where many normal traders
    usually have their Sell or Buy stops (Stop losses).

    CHAPTER 3 OANDA FOREX ORDER BOOK

    Shows how many traders are


    in open short (sell) positions.

    Pending buy
    (long) orders

    BLUE AREA: STOP ORDERS or STOP LOSSES

    ORANGE AREA: LIMIT ORDERS OR TAKE PROFITS

    OANDA order book shows the current positions of all open and pending orders (20 Minutes delayed). Open
    positions mean the already market executed orders. Open orders are the pending orders yet to be triggered.
    The lines represent the volume or liquidity. The longer the line, the bigger is the volume or liquidity in that
    area. In the Open Order area, if the Blue and Orange lines are long and are at the same place, we know that
    area is very highly liquid and our decision to BUY or SELL can be based on that.

    CHAPTER 4 FAILED TO RETURN (SHARP ENTRY POINT) STRATERGY

    RULES OF FTR

    1. RBD / DBR - Look for Double Marubozu (DM). Begin with a higher TF and move to lower TF. If no DM, look
    for Doji.

    2. The price exits Supply Zone (going lower than the 2nd DM (CS) and tries to re-enter but fails. This is called
    FTR or failed to return. The supply or demand area now becomes the "price cap". The FTR CS is the CS with
    the shadow that is the closest to the supply or demand zone but has not penetrated it.

    3. Confirmation of a valid FTR is that, the down trending price breaks the initial supply or demand area and
    forms a new supply or demand zone (zone 1 in the diagram). This is called engulfing which makes the FTR
    valid.

    4. The area between the shadow CS and the supply or demand zone (opening of the DM) is called the "light
    tunnel" is should be between 5-10 pips. This is the "Sharp Entry Point". The supply or demand zone can
    become smaller by focusing on smaller TF as low as 5 Mins. 1 Min is not recommended.

    5. The stop loss must be kept at a minimum as low as 10 pips if possible. As the price hits the supply or
    demand and trends down, re-adjust the Stop Loss.

    6. TP is at the next demand zone below zone 1 which has already been exhausted by the initial downward
    moving FTR price (Engulfed).

    7. With this combination, the FTR setup usually moves up as compression (CP) to the supply zone before
    rapidly spiraling downwards. Normally this happens as there is News or announcements and Traders are
    cautious and take the sideways approach. The TP for CP is the initial CP point.

    NOTE: The GAP in the SND chart represents FTR or the Light Tunnel. This is the supply or demand area which
    has not been used yet.

    CHAPTER 5 COMPRESSION (CP)

    Compression (CP) is a type of price action which signifies the reversal of price trend. CP is confirmed by the
    type of wedges it makes either downward or upward wedge. In each case, demand or supply is being cleared
    reaching the point of ZERO SND. The angle of CP must not be beyond 45 which can be mistaken with an
    upward or downward trend. CP leads to the ZERO demand or supply at which point the price jumps into the
    high liquidity area which can be mapped on the chart and cross reference to OANDA forex order book. This
    area becomes the TP point or the TP can be the point of beginning of the CP as some traders prefer.

    Strategic entry point is to place a pending order either at the supply or demand area closest to the zero
    wedge SND area as mapped in the chart. Pending orders can also be made in multiple layers with small
    quantities (as shown in the diagram below courtesy of En. Mansor Sapari).

    Compression - Price falls due to supply zone being breached combined with news release

    CHAPTER6 FAKE OUT (FAKEY) VERSION 1 AND 2

    1. Fake out or Fakey is formed when Support and Resistance traders are hoping for the support
    or resistance area being tested to be broken after several tests (usually 3 times- R1, R2 and
    R3). Buy and Stop orders are placed on the immediate supply and demand area, making the
    area highly liquid. If the SND area is not liquid enough, the fake out will not happen. In most
    cases, after about 3 attempts the price will move to the closest SND area then quickly moves
    back to the next opposite SND area to fulfil the orders at that area. This is called Fake Out
    version 1.

    2. Fake Out version 2 happens when there is SBR (support becomes resistance) or SR Flip (SRF).
    In this type the sequence is SUPPORT BREAKOUT RESISTANCE (SBR for ease of
    identifying). The SRF will normally form a new FTR area. Pay close attention to it.
