Method 2 (Single Candles): More commonly known as order blocks (OB), you'd have seen these all over Twitter in the past few weeks. • Demand: A down candle before an up move that leads to a higher high. • Supply: An up candle before a down move that leads to a lower low.pic.twitter.com/28jd1HlOkJ

iv) Factors of Strength a) Force of breakout: The more explosive the breakout from the base, both in terms of speed and distance of ensuing rally/drop, the stronger the buying/selling power at the base, ergo, the stronger the zone. Re: A clean move away, no wicks.pic.twitter.com/sPntnOTCTB

b) Freshness: The best reactions to a supply/demand zone will always be on the first return to the zone. With every subsequent retest of a zone, the supply/demand at said zone depletes, ultimately leading to a break of the zone. Some examples.https://twitter.com/HsakaTrades/status/1004835241578524672 …

c) Length and width of the base: The less time spent forming the base, the stronger a zone is, since that connotes the buy/sell strength out there is greater than its counterpart. A narrower base is stronger. Too many wicks above/below the base depletes supply & demand.

d) Miscellaneous: • Reversal zones > Continuation zones • The best zones form around key high time frame support or resistance levels • An exception to the supply/demand depletion factor is if there's an extremely important price from a fundamental/psychological perspective.

v) Trading Aggressive: Bid/offer the upper/lower limit of the zone with a tight stop loss below/above the zone. Conservative: Scatter your bids throughout the zone at various intervals and place the stop loss at idea invalidation. Note: Zone retesst can be traded upon a break.pic.twitter.com/jSIZnE9H8X
