hedgehog got a reaction from flamenco in Sam S3iden
Out of the many webinars, I found this to have sum up all of what Seiden teaches. The other webinars are good to be sure, but they all try to hammer in the same thing. What can be said of Seiden and his method is that it is not difficult and if we just allow ourselves to simplify our thinking and not complicate and cloud our brains, we can make it successfully in trading. Now, guys and gals, please do not try to 'improve' anything. This is a simple and straightforward method. Just leave it at that. No other indicators are necessary. Just plain and simple supply and demand. Real world stuff. Economics 101.
Enjoy the webinar.

I think nobody answered this so I will attempt to.
The arrow shows up or down - meaning from supply or demand level. So if the arrow is pointing up, it shows that the ideal trade would be long for that time-frame, for which price has either just touch a demand/supply level or has left if (meaning, you missed the entry, but there are more to come so don't worry :-) )
And the prices above and below the arrow are where the demand/supply is (Entry, ideally) and where it should head (TP, ideally), which is is the supply area if you are long(demand) and vice versa.
The side bar in red/white shows how far price has left demand/supply (Entry) area and how much more it has to go to the supply/demand level (TP).
Hope that helps.

some Q&A
By Sam Seiden, Online Trading Academy Vice President of Education and Product Development
Recently, I have received many questions about an article from a couple weeks ago entitled, "The Two Most Important Parts of a Trade Setup." The article seemed to have peaked interest in a very simple approach to trading which I employ for my own trading. Below are some of those questions and the answers to help you use the strategy rules.
Hello Sam,
I was in your class before; I would like to say thank you for writing the excellent articles. I have been reading a lot of your articles. However, this is the one I like best and will apply this method for my trading next week... "The Two Most Important Parts of a Trade Setup." But I am still confused about which time frame to use for this method? I trade part time intraday. I am looking to swing trade.
Thanks – Jacqueline
Seiden Answer -
Thanks for the kind words on the articles; I hope the articles are helpful. As that article pointed out, the two important components of the trade are a quality supply or demand zone and a significant profit margin. When day trading, it's a good idea to use a combination of a larger time frame chart, like an hourly or daily, and a smaller time frame chart such as a five minute chart. You want to use the larger time frame to identify where price is on the larger time frame supply/demand curve as this will tell you whether you should be looking for buy setups or sell setups on the smaller time frame. For example, if price is at or near larger time frame supply, you want to go down to the 5 minute chart and find quality supply levels with significant profit margins to short against. You would only know this if you first looked at that larger time frame like I am suggesting. For swing trading, looking at daily and weekly charts should be fine.
Hi Sam,
I have seen a lot of your webinars on fxstreet.com and I would like to ask you a question because I couldn't find an answer yet. When looking at supply and demand zones, we know that price is potentially revisiting the previous supply or demand area. What you say is that one should take the trade when price revisits the area for the first time. What I was wondering is... What happens with those levels after price has revisited it for the first time? Should we keep an eye on those levels for a potential new trade or do we have to deny the levels once price visited it for the first time?
Thanks in advance - Eliza
Seiden Answer -
Very good question. When I was on the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange facilitating institutional order flow, the answer to your question was very clear. Let's say I was on the trade desk and had a large stack of buy orders (demand) in the S&P at a price of 1245 and the market was opening at 1260. Sure enough at some point, the market would come down to 1245 and some of my orders would get filled, depending on how much supply (sellers) there was when price reached 1245. The first time price would reach that large stack of buy orders at 1245, it would bounce higher. With each succesive decline in price to 1245, what is happening to that stack of buy orders? Is it increasing or decreasing? Is the demand getting stronger or weaker? If you answered decreasing and weaker, you are correct. Each time 1245 traded, more of those buy orders were being filled meaning demand was weakening. Layers of the "floor" (demand) were being removed so to speak. Once all the buy orders at 1245 were filled, price would then quickly fall to the next level of demand.
Hi Sam,
I have been enjoying your webinars very much and just have a question for you. When you enter trades based on daily/monthly charts at demand/supply levels, what percentage of these are winning trades? I am guessing they would be much higher than smaller time frames as there is less 'chop.'
Thanks and regards – Michael
Seiden Answer -
Typically, most people have a higher winning percentage in the larger time frames, you are correct. This is because you are only looking at daily/weekly/monthly charts and the levels are very clear. Also, larger time frame levels trump smaller time frame levels so when you find a nice demand level on the larger time frame with a significant profit margin, what is happening on the smaller time frames is not a big deal. The other way around is a different story, however. If a day trader finds a quality demand level on a five minute chart, for example, and supply looks to be much higher, that is not enough information. You still need to check the larger time frame to see where this smaller time frame setup is on the larger time frame supply and demand curve. For example, if that five minute buy setup is near larger time frame demand, that trade will typically work out very well. If, however, that smaller time frame buy setup is at or near larger time frame supply, that trade has very low odds of working. Day trading is fine and can be very profitable, you just have that extra step of looking at larger time frames so you're not blindsided.
Hi Sam,
I am a student of Online Trading Academy and took the Forex Trader course 2 years back. I have been reading your articles about Supply and Demand and how floor traders see the market. However, I have a few questions which I hope you can clarify.
Strong/Weak Support/Resistance
How do you know when to take a reverse trend trade using the supply and demand concept? I mean how do you determine whether a particular support or demand is strong enough so that price does not simply punch through the level? This is the most difficult part for me if I want to trade using naked price action.
Seiden Answer – This is based on the larger time frame "fresh" demand or supply level. Trends always end and begin at "fresh" larger time frame demand and supply levels so this is when and where we stop trading with the trend and trade against it as we are expecting it to reverse and change direction. Our anticipatory analysis allows us to then enter the new trend well before it gets under way which gives us a big edge. The key is identifying a "fresh" supply and demand level in the larger time frame. Before you attempt to do this, make sure your definition of a quality supply/demand level is proper.
How many touches on a daily chart and a 4 hour chart of support or resistance will you consider before not taking a trade when the market comes back to test the support and resistance lines again. I have heard some traders using a 3 taps concept and anything more than 3 tests, they will not take a retracement trade no matter how good the trend is? What is your take on this?
Seiden Answer -
What we do in the Extended Learning Track (XLT) program is a bit more objective and logical than the textbook way of doing it which is "touch count." Try to focus on how deep price is moving into a supply/demand level each time it returns to that level. If price just touches the level the first time it returns and moves away in strong fashion, that suggests there is a big supply/demand imbalance at that level. Therefore, we would be comfortable taking a trade again at that level. If this happens the second and third time and so on, we would still take trades at that level. However, as soon as price trades 25% or more into that level, I would not suggest taking another trade at that level as this suggests the supply/demand imbalance at that level is not strong enough anymore to offer us a high probability trading opportunity.
Do you do counter trend trades?
Seiden Answer -
Only when that trend is reaching a larger time frame supply or demand level which means that trend is about to end and a new one is about to begin, as mentioned above.
Do you use Fibonacci retracement levels and pivot points in your analysis of supply and demand?
Seiden Answer -
No, I don't. Fib levels and pivot points don't often line up with a real supply and demand level. Fib lines, for example, are created with a mathematical calculation that does not take into account willing supply or demand so there is a huge flaw with this line of thinking. Also, if you use Fibs, you have a choice of a number of retracement lines to choose from. The one that will work with consistency is the one that lines up with real demand or supply. So, after taking the Fib line that lines up with real demand or supply for a while, you will eventually ask yourself, "Why do I need the Fib line when I am always taking the one that lines up with real demand or supply?"
Do you use Candlestick patterns in your trade analysis?
Seiden Answer -
Not conventional patterns. If we agree that price always stops falling and turns higher at price levels where willing demand exceeds willing supply and vise versa, don't we only want to focus on the picture that represents that fact? Also, conventional chart patterns almost always have you buying high and selling low; that's how they are setup. Think about the most popular ones like the Head and Shoulders and Double Top patterns. Neither of these patterns have you selling high, near supply. Both have you waiting for a significant decline in price before selling which makes absolutely no sense and these are some of the most popular patterns in all the books; crazy if you ask me.
I tried to be as detailed as I could in the answers to ensure a solid understanding of these concepts. The key answer to almost all the trading questions I ever receive is always answered by considering the reality of how you profit buying and selling anything in any marketplace. So the next time you are puzzled and looking for an answer, dig into your bag of "logic" and you will likely find the simple answer. If that doesn't work, send me an email and I will be happy to help.
Hope that was helpful, have a great day.

Re: Trading manually Triangular Arbitrage
That is not Triangular Arbitrage.
You need to hold the right balance of three currencies such that you are directionally neutral like this: (Long 1 lot of EURUSD) + (Short 1 lot of EURGBP) + (Short (EURGBP rate) lots of GBPUSD)
If you are not trying to be directionally neutral then you should name your strategy something else.

hedgehog got a reaction from maddman in 20 Ways To Stop Losing Money
This is good for general trading, not specific to FX but rules are just the same.
Here's a reality check as we slam headfirst into the January markets. The vast majority of retail traders lost money in 2007 and will lose money next year, despite ample doses of education, enthusiasm and brilliant ideas. In fact, at least 80% of all at-home speculators will eventually give up and wash out of the financial markets.
How can you buck this enormous tide and make 2008 your most profitable year in the trading game? To state the obvious, the best way to start making money is to stop losing it.
In that regard, here are 20 ways to staunch the bleeding and get back into the winner's circle in the new year. Happy holidays, everyone!
Don't trust the opinions of market gurus. Remember that it's your money at stake, not theirs. Listen to what they say, then step back and do your own homework.
Don't believe in a company. Trading isn't investing, so you need to focus on the price action and forget the balance sheets. Leave the American Dream to Warren Buffett.
Don't break your entry and exit rules. You made them for bad trades, just like the one you're stuck in right now.
Don't try to get even. This isn't a game of catch-up. Every action you make has to stand on its own merits. Take your losses with detachment and make your next trade with absolute discipline.
Don't trade over your head. If your last name isn't Kass or Cramer, stop trading like them. Just concentrate on playing the game well, and stop thinking about making money.
Don't seek the Holy Grail. There is no secret trading formula, other than good position choice and solid risk management. So why are you looking for it?
Don't forget your discipline. Anyone can learn the basics of the trading game. Sadly, most of us will fail because of a lack of self-control, not a lack of knowledge.
Don't chase the crowd. Tune out the groupthink and dance to the beat of your own drummer. Get out of the chat rooms and off the stock boards. This is serious business.
Don't trade the obvious. Everyone sees the most perfect-looking patterns, which is why they set up the most painful losses. Simply stated, if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.
Don't ignore the warning signs. Big losses rarely come without warning. Don't wait for a lifeboat before you abandon a sinking ship.
Don't count your chickens. That delicious profit isn't yours until you close out the trade. Trail stops, take blind exits and do everything possible to get that money into your pocket.
Don't forget the plan. Remember the reasons you took a trade in the first place, and don't get blinded by greed or fear when the position finally starts to move.
Don't have a paycheck mentality. You don't need to get paid every week or every month, as long as you take advantage of the opportunities as they come. Classic wisdom: traders book 80% of their profits on just 20% of the days the market is open for business.
Don't cut corners. There are very smart folks out there working full time to take advantage of your mistakes. Fight back by examining your results, updating your plan and finding working themes for the next session.
Don't ignore your intuition. Listen to that calm little voice that tells you what to do and what to avoid. That's the voice of the winner trying to get into your thick head.
Don't hate losing. The best traders lose money on most of their positions, so get used to the pain of losing. And there's a side benefit: the losing teaches more about winning than the winning itself.
Don't fall into the complexity trap. Traders who can't see the market are looking for it everywhere except in the price action. In truth, a well-trained eye will find more profits than in a stack of technical indicators.
Don't confuse execution with opportunity. Expensive software won't help you trade like a hedge fund. Pretty colors and flashing lights make you a more nervous trader, not a better one.
Don't project your personal life onto your trading. Trading gives you the perfect opportunity to find out just how messed up your life really is. Get your own house in order before you play the financial markets.
Don't think that trading is fun. The trading game should be boring the vast majority of the time, just like the real-life job you have right now.
