In this article, I am going to discuss Supply and Demand Zone Trading in detail. Please read our previous article where we discussed How to Trade with Smart Money. As part of this article, we are going to discuss the following pointers which are related to Supply and Demand Zone Trading.

1. Structure of the market
2. What is the supply-demand zone?

4. Different types of zone
5. How do measure the strength of the zone?

STRUCTURE OF MARKET

The price goes through the following phases

1. ACCUMULATION
2. REACCUMULATION
3. UPTREND
4. DISTRIBUTION
5. REDISTRIBUTION
6. DOWNTREND

ACCUMULATION smart money is removed the floating supply of stock by buying, this process is called accumulation

TREND UP smart money aggressively moving prices up

DISTRIBUTION SM will take advantage of the higher prices obtained in the rally to take profits by beginning to sell the stock back to the uninformed traders/investors

LAWS OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND Trading

All financial markets work on the universal law of Supply and Demand.

Law of Demand– The higher the price of an item, the fewer the demand (buyers don’t want to buy at a higher price) and the lower the price, the higher the demand (buyers want to buy at a low price)

The Law of Supply-the higher the price, the higher the supply (sellers want to sell at a higher price) and lower the price, lower the supply(sellers don’t want to supply at a lower price

What are Supply and Demand Zones

Supply-demand is nothing but the border area of support or resistance

Let’s analyze NIFTY 50 STOCK

In the chart above you can see a demand zone (broad support level) and a supply zone (broad area of resistance).

What we want to find at the price zones where supply overwhelms demand and where demand overwhelms supply.

• The former is known as SUPPLY ZONES. When the market bumps into SUPPLY ZONES, the price will drop. Then, you can make money by shorting the market.
• The latter is market DEMAND ZONE. With the support of demand, the price will rise. Then, you can profit in a long position.
• If the supply zone is broken it becomes a demand zone, pullback test from the demand zone you can go long

How to Find Supply and Demand Zones in Trading

 Two steps in order to identify the supply and demand zones.

1. Look at the chart and try to spot successive large successive candles. It is important that price moves a lot
2. Establish the base (usually sideways price action area) from which price started the quick move

Different Types of Supply and Demand Formations 

There are different supply and demand zone patterns. Some of the more popular ones are shown below:

TREND CONTINUOUS BASE

1. RALLY BASE RALLY(RBR)
2. DOWN BASE DOWN (DBD)

TREND REVERSAL BASE

1. RALLY BASE DROP (RBD)
2. DOWN BASE RALLY (DBR)

And

FLIP ZONE

NOW PUTTING ALL THIS INTO NIFTY 50CHART

STRENGTH OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND ZONE

How did the price leave the level? STRENGTH OF THE MOVE

The Logic: The stronger the price moves away from a zone, the more out-of-balance supply and demand are at that zone. A heavy order is placed by smart money

How much time did the price spend at the zone? TIME AT LEVEL

The Logic: The less time price spends at a zone, the more out-of-balance supply and demand are at the price level. Smart money aggressively entering

At price levels with supply and demand zone more out of balance, the price will spend the least amount of time at the level

How far did the price move away from the zone before returning back to the zone?

The Logic: The farther price moves away from a zone before returning to that zone, the greater the reward to risk and probability.

When the price comes back to that supply level for our short entry, we have a good idea of where the buyers are (the demand) and just as importantly, where they are not.

How many times is the price approaching the zone? FRESHNESS OF BASE

First-time stock retrace to the base is the strongest to enter

When does Supply/Demand break?

After a zone is tested many times or during a strong move, Supply and Demand levels eventually break. Due to the remaining orders being triggered and gradually removed, or an overwhelming amount of orders in the opposite direction breaking the level.

Price action

• If the price stays near or at these zones & doesn’t fall much then there is a high probability that they will break the zone
• A strong move to the zone may break the zone
• low volume test confirm the zone

HOW TO ENTER DEMAND AND SUPPLY USING PRICE ACTION?

1. Find SD zone on HTF(HIGHER TIME FRAME) then wait for the price to come to this level
2. See any acceptance or rejection from this zone on trading time frame(TTF)
3. Any reversal price action signal on TTF
4. Entry in the direction of the dominant trend

• Suppose context downtrend, price rally to the supply zone on TTF, then any bearish reversal PA signal for an entry short
• Also, notice the volume on these reversals. A low volume test is a good sign & they are highly probable trades.

TIPS for day trading previous day high and previous day low is the supply and demand zone. look price action around there for acceptance or rejection of these zones

Let’s do an example

Find the supply and demand zone in a higher time frame

In an hourly time frame we find the zone

Big picture shows

1. whether trend up or down – determines which side we want to be on

2. Where are the big picture support and demand levels?

We don’t want to long below the supply zone

WHEN THE PRICE APPROACHES DEMAND ZONE

WE WANT TO SEE SIGN OF STRENGTH PRICE ACTION FOR CONFIRMATION OF THE ZONE

1. MOMENTUM LOSS(DECREASING CANDLE RANGE AND BODY
2. LOWER WICK
3. MIX OF BOTH RED AND GREEN CANDLE

Entry on the trading time frame

ENTRY SIGNAL CANDLE

Candlesticks AT Supply and Demand

1. PIN BAR
2. ENGULFING
3. OUTSIDE CANDLE

Odds Enhancers example

1. Trade with the trend
2. If INDEX AND SECTOR SHOWS POSITIVE THEN GO LONG FROM DEMAND ZONE
