5 years of sam seiden ssupply and demand all the articles of sam from trading academy "http://www.tradingacademy.com/free-resources/Newsletters.aspx" all put in word file plus PROBABILITY ENHANCER & some trading notes http://www.4shared.com/file/eIQCYxlZ/5_years_of_sam_seiden_ssupply_.html

Thanks for your great analysis and posts JimJamBonks. I would like to propose that we put up potential trades with naked charts, no lines, nothing, in order for new comers and experienced users of this method to discuss trades before they actually happen. I think with that we can equip anyone who would like to further learn this method of trading and we can only learn by doing and through constructive discussion. Please no PETTY SQUABBLES. Trading is not an exact science. The very least we can build up a great foundation here. What say you guys and gals?

EURUSD Long trade 120min shows demand zone. You don't want to be shorting into that. http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/6714/16062011eurusd120min.jpg 5min chart shows a couple of bounces off the lows into the meat of the longer timeframe demand zone. Entered long at close of first bull candle following US news. These are not picture perfect entries, but as Sam Seiden himself says, don't just be expecting perfect setups. The principles of buying dips into demand and selling pushes into supply are sound so long as the price action before it suggests a favourable profit potential. http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/4194/16062011eurusd5minlong.jpg

There is an interview of Seiden in a 2006 Active Trader magazine. Link here: http://www.multiupload.com/9N0NEY5PLS

whakamaru: Remember Seiden almost always say that you buy when everyone is selling and sell when everyone is buying. That's counter trend to me :-) To be successful, you have to go against the herd. If you always follow the herd (not the trend mind you), one day you'll get slaughtered!! What is important to remember is when you want to take a day trade or any trade for that matter, do refer to a higher time frame and check where bids are in relation to demand and supply zone. If it is near Daily Demand zone, you should be comfortable in taking any long trades in lower time frames and vice versa. Hope that helps.

...........................

It is, but bear in mind that larger timeframe demand zone has been has already seen a reaction and the nature of price is that it will bounce fractally between pockets of supply & demand as it charts its course up and down.. I'm not necessarily suggesting that price would make a huge move down from that zone and in fact recent price action congesting just below the yellow marked area has ruled it out of a trade for me on the 60min chart. But all that said I suspect there may still be sufficient supply in that area to afford a short off a lower time frame with our wholesale/retail mindset to the fore.

Had it stuttered and congested a lot then I probably wouldn't have taken it. The fact that price fell down to the zone cleanly suggested that if price were to move up from the demand zone then there was little supply to stop it getting up to my initial target. There's no gauarantees of course, all I'm trying to do is find areas that appear to offer decent profit to risk potential and then work enough of those opportunities over time to make the numbers work in my favour. I try to let individual losses just roll off my back. I'm not concerned about good setups going bad. I'm more concerend about getting into bad trades or managing them badly because of my own ******ity - that is an ongoing process. ;)
