Supply and Demand (SND) Method

What is SND?

Supply and Demand is a trading method focused on imbalances between buyers and sellers. When demand exceeds supply, prices rise — and vice versa.

Key SND Components

Supply Zone
  • Characteristics: Wide base + fast drop
  • Entry: Sell at zone rejection
Demand Zone
  • Characteristics: Consolidation + strong rally
  • Entry: Buy at zone bounce
Imbalance
  • Definition: Price movement without retrace
  • Strategy: Entry when price returns to fill the imbalance

Advantages of SND

  • Visually easy to identify
  • High risk-reward potential
  • Universal across all assets

Disadvantages of SND

  • Subjective zone marking
  • Prone to false breakouts
  • Does not account for time

Case Study (BTC/USD M5)

Identify a fresh supply zone
Wait for price to return to the zone + bearish engulfing candle
Enter short with SL above the zone
Result: Profit 5R (risk-reward 1:5)
