The basic squat can be relatively easy to spot: Narrow range bar with volume greater than the previous bar. Nevertheless, nice pick-up. Looking for UP and DOWN closes can be important, but so can higher highs or lower lows than the previous bar. The ...

I'll bite. Just a few caveats before I get started: (1) Since I had to use your screenshot, I had to guestimate the HVZ lines, so they may be off and that could change everything (2) Since you declined to provide the market and time frame, I am ...

Someone once said, "The longer I trade, the higher the time frame I use." What he meant was: the more I learn how to trade, the higher the time frame I use. I'm still working on the learning how part (that never ends), but I have moved to the 60 min ...

I did not take that trade, but I would (should) be there with you. image I would not call the Test a "polar bar in Hawaii", but price is in a Supply/Demand Delta Zone so I would want to see the Test fail. In this case, it does not fail, but we do ...

To be honest, I'm a Supply/Demand trader, not a VZA trader (although there's nothing I like better than when the Zone from each respective method match up). Accordingly, I have attached my actual chart. image I would not have taken the No Supply ...

You have to trade what you see. My chart looks like this. image Notice that price does not trade below the GTH Open. A good rule of thumb: When price is above the GTH Open, only trade long set-ups. When price is below the GTH Open, only trade ...

I'm assuming the question really is Why, or, For what purpose (s), does the Smart Money perform testing? This is not a knock on your English skills by any means, It's simply to point out that before we get to the "How", we need to first start with ...

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

We can use the same technique in reverse to define a Supply/Demand Delta Zone. Step 1: Identify where the move started. Price was rising and then we see a dark (open>close) candle. From that interval, price quickly moved down. It closed a WRB ...

King of Supply and Demand

Thank you, my friend. I do know that Mark and his chicken sh*t minions troll the internet, FF, and specifically my posts. I say chicken sh*t because they remained anonymous and were perfectly fine with me being thrown under the bus when I did ...

King of Supply and Demand

I'm certainly not the King of Supply and Demand; I'm more like the court jester of Supply and Demand. And zones that work 95% of the time are beyond me, and they're beyond what is actually necessary to succeed as a Supply/Demand trader. ...

Ultimately we have to trade what we see. I use Sierra Charts for charting and it comes with free FX data from FXCM. My chart does not show an actual gap. It does, however, show a Wide Range Body (WRB) HiddenGAP. To be clear, it's not a HiddenGAP ...

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I am a fan. Thank you for posting. I hope to see more posts in this thread from you. There's a lot of knowledge to be gained from reading (and studying) your posts. This is a Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) ...

It's hard for me to set through a candle like this one. image A lot of WRB traders would be taking profits here. This gets into the discussion of Risk to Reward ratios (R:R). It seems to me that one of the issues with a fixed R:R is that it ...

I literally just spent an hour on a detailed answer to this post. But then I accidentally clicked on the calendar and lost it all. I may come back and readdress this post, but for now, this is it. image I look for a full body (open-close) above or ...

I know the question wasn't directed at me, but here are some generalizations with respect to Supply/Demand Zones. * A Supply/Demand Zone is valid until it is closed. 1. A Zone can be considered closed after the first touch. 2. A Zone can be ...
