*** Technical Analysis intro to Demand & Supply Zones:
Analyzing supply and demand has become a prevalent approach for day and swing traders engaged in equity, forex, and futures markets. The objective of studying supply and demand zones is to anticipate potential price pivots before they occur, providing traders with a strategic advantage. While various charting and trading strategies fall within the supply and demand framework, our emphasis will primarily be on Institutional Zones of Demand and Supply Imbalances, as highlighted by our TradingView indicator.
See the demstration for what Demand & Supply Zones inbalances may look like:
To start, let's deconstruct the mentioned expression. The term 'institutional' holds significant importance in our trading approach. As a retail trader, it's crucial to grasp that individuals like you and me have minimal influence over and impact on price movements in major markets. The daily price fluctuations are primarily driven by substantial transactions conducted by large institutions and hedge funds, involving substantial quantities of buying and selling in the equity market.
The presented chart illustrates the price dynamics of ES, representing the S&P500 E-mini futures.
See the Example below for Demand & Supply Zones:
Recognizing the pivotal role of institutions in influencing market prices is essential for comprehending the creation of supply and demand imbalances. This understanding is derived from an analysis of historical price movements.
Price action manifests in two primary forms: balanced and imbalanced. Balanced price action represents a flat, consolidative market movement characterized by a sideways overall direction. In contrast, imbalanced price action denotes a pronounced upward or downward shift in price. The critical insight lies in the fact that institutional demand and supply imbalances emerge when the market transitions from balanced to imbalanced price action. The following illustration provides an example of balanced price action.
Below is example that measure the strength/ weakness of Demand & Supply zones!!!!
The duration of consolidation directly influences the size of the demand/supply zone, with its strength gauged by the originating time frame. Each zone may emerge on various time frames, ranging from the largest on the 1-Month time frame to the smallest on the 30-Minute time frame. Automatic labeling of supply and demand zones occurs based on their respective time frames.
Weaker zones are associated with the 30-Minute time frame, indicating a formation period of merely two 30-minute candles. This limited time span restricts the opportunity for institutions to execute substantial orders, resulting in smaller bounces and rejections, typically lasting no more than a few days.
In contrast, larger zones like 1 Day, 1 Week, and 1 Month have the potential to instigate significant market swings lasting for weeks, months, or even years. It is imperative to consider not only the current placement of demand and supply zones but also the strength associated with each zone. Examining the instance of the market bottoming and reversing, it becomes evident that the demand zone was notably robust, being a powerful weekly zone.
These zones operate on an order-based principle, distinguishing them from standard trend-based support and resistance levels. Unlike conventional levels, a supply zone doesn't transform into demand when price action surpasses it, and vice versa. If the price action drops below demand or above supply, even by a mere $0.01, indicating that all buy orders have been fulfilled, the demand or supply zone is then removed from the chart.
While it is feasible to approach these zone breaks as continuation opportunities based on the ongoing significant price action, predicting the extent of price movement after breaking supply or demand during that phase remains uncertain. Nevertheless, drawing upon my years of experience in demand and supply, I've observed a tendency for the market to eventually gravitate toward the next viable demand zone if the current one breaks. This is because without a pivot induced by an institutional-created demand or supply imbalance, there often lacks sufficient participation to sustain a prolonged trend reversal.
Limitations for the Indicator:
TradingView has a few constraints that impact the functionality of the Professional Zones - Institutional Supply and Demand Imbalances indicator. The primary limitation arises from the data provided by TradingView to its users. A basic TradingView account grants access to only 5,000 candles of data. Therefore, users operating on a 1-minute time frame can view a maximum of 5,000 candles leading up to the current point. This is crucial because our advanced indicator analyzes historical price action to identify demand and supply zones, displaying them on your chart. Consequently, users on a 1-minute time frame can only observe zones formed within the last 5,000 candles. Older demand and supply zones cannot be showcased. However, with a Premium TradingView subscription, users can access up to 20,000 candles, significantly expanding the potential zones visible on smaller time frames.
To address this limitation, we strongly recommend examining larger time frames before commencing your trading day, as there might be an older zone hidden from view. Once identified on, for instance, a 30-minute time frame, you can easily take note of the demand zone and its location.
Please Note for the what is offered in the indicator:
4 options to chose EMA/SMA/VMA/HMA
1 option to choose VWAP
Options to choose the on/off for Demand & Supply zones alone with to choose how it will read the candle pattern based on a "Use 2X Candle Logic & Factor %%
Options to choose zone labels on/off and Price levels on/off
Options to change the wording on "Demand Text": D to any wording
Options to change the wording on "Supply Text": S to any wording
Option to turn on /off broken zones
Option to choose how many zone extentions to show above or below price on chart
Option to choose on/off how many "TF" = Time Frames/ Zones from 1 week down to the 15 minutes
