EVERYTHING on supply and demand vs support and resistance (SIMPLIFIED, NO BS APPROACH)

[@ImanTrading]

updating this comment 3 years later... lots has changed since this video. Happy to report that as of writing this in 2024, I'm on 4 months of consistent prop firm payouts. Nothing massive, but money is money. I started the ImanTrading.org project to prove that everything can be learned for free - a beginner guide, the best prop firms, and my trading strategy. There's nothing to buy, it's 100% free, and it always will be.

This dude changed my trading psychology. I was shit when i was trading like the gurus teach but when i started watching Iman's videos i learned that i need my own strategy my own mindset on the market and that is when i became a profitable funded trader. Just start trading on a demo and get the experience you need from the market and not from the gurus. This is one and only channel for new traders to watch. Thanks Iman!

Thanks for this video. I am totally into your no BS approach and humour. You are helping me get started as a trader and have already busted several long term myths and beliefs I had clung on to for years. I finally printed a green day owing to your supply and demand videos. Thanks for them also. I am now a keen subscriber to your channel and wish you every success in educating us all along your path to trading enlighhtenment. Thanks Isaac. Kudos!!!

Honestly your supply and demand explanation video completely changed my trading - and this one added more value some more! Thanks for making these for us and making it so simple

[@ImanTrading]

That makes me very happy to hear! Thank you.

[@EazyWeezyBreezy]

Yup same here!

[@IchiJewSan]

You just help me realize that by charting all the monthly, weekly, daily and 4 hr support and resistances I subconsciously created barriers in my mind that the price would reject these "strong" levels and inevitably make my trades invalid. Ive taken a psychological toll as I traded these levels and it has caused me to paper hands more often than not. Not to say that I'll flat out stop using support and resistance but i certainly will try to look at it from a perspective where I'd wait for confirmation for a continuation or rejection before considering my options. Great video keep it up!

[@ImanTrading]

Glad to hear this was helpful, and thank you very much!

[@jugensingtokbi2850]

I have the same problem like this

[@colorlessking.]

Well let me tell you something more funny, unlike what you said charting the upper level then going to lower, I'm creating a false support or resistance line, what I do is I go to the upper time section And see if something is broken or not, if it is broken then I go to lower line to do exactly what happening on the upper line.

[@thonggia1734]

Thank you for these hilarious and informative contents. I don't have skins in market and i dont think i will for a while but your content are enjoyable and educative, and have give me quite a bit more context about these buzz words and just trading in general. I feel like im being taught by a gentle friend, which is just the icing on the cake keep uo the good work and keep expanding your horizons also love your jokes man lmao

[@Maya-zs6cp]

Loving this Iman I lost 700.00 in 5 min , don't want to ever have that happen again . Better entry and no touch stop loss is peace of mind

[@ImanTrading]

A lot of money, sorry to hear that! Glad this was helpful. Having that stop loss set before the trade was a massive game changer for me too. No more unreasonable losses, and way less stress.

[@maxmustermann7794]

3:45 and 4:50 are good indicators to keep watching this channel and to follow along for some entertaining lessons! :D But let's be honest, my intuition told me so long before, these indicators are probably just confirming what I already assumed before..I am learning.. it's happening!

[@wallybarry4511]

This video was the first one I have seen where the person in it actually stated the same things I have observed. The rock hitting the window metaphor for it was great. I have viewed as a retaining wall, it can hold back a lot, but eventually either the wall is going to break, or whatever is pushing on it will run out of energy. During those times I just wait for it to start to show me what direction it wants to start moving to, and go with that. Doesn’t always work, but it works often enough to keep me in the green most days.

You’re like that kid in class that calls the teacher out and end up being right lol 😂.

[@Joey-um5iw]

The reason people say S/R gets stronger the more times it is respected is due to the zone appearing on higher time frames and therefore an increase of participants entering at that zone but I personally don't trade them as these zones are manipulated so that retail can become liquidity.

[@adamsteyl]

[@calvinhelms4442]

I've been trying to numb my emotions for two years .your right easy to say ,hard to do . your breaking glass is right on . how does a support get stronger each time its hit . I've have fond its the larger time frame that determines that . if the trend is up on the 15 minute then the downward wedge on a 5 minute the support holds . an upward wedge breaks resistance . if the trend on the 15 minute is down the the resistance holds the support breaks . not every time just most of the time

"somethimes i say big words to make myself sound more photosynthesis" my mind blown

[@dee23gaming]

The more times a zone gets hit, it doesn't make it stronger, it makes it more significant. There's a difference. Just because it breaks, it doesn't mean it's done for. It will act as support/resistance on the other side as well. The market has a long memory, and will keep using a zone until it gets chopped up. In that case, you can ditch the zone and search for a new one, because the market will probably do the exact same as you.

[@douggregory4710]

I am finding my emotions are not my friends lol. I am being more aware of my thinking and my stinking thinking. I could be your test project to get my emotions in check. Really enjoy your videos. Thanks for now.

Lol, thank you Doug

[@ericrussell7961]

If you're going to use Wyckoff's law of Supply and Demand why wouldn't you also use his support and resistance zones? At 14:00 you have an uptrend, change of behavior, then a new high with another change of behavior but then a change of character. The high and low of the pull back create your support and resistance. So there was no more demand at the high so supply pushed the price lower. The low is where demand kicked in and pushed the price higher. Now you're starting your downward trading range.

[@hibik420]

[@lakshaydhiman6132]

14:00 what is a tick chart?? I don't understand this part please help

[@toquelau5715]

a tick chart is like a candlestick chart, but instead of oscillating by time (5min, 15min, daily etc), it creates a new 'candle' every X amount of ticks (or pips) up or down, set by the user. I use Renko a lot, it's a type of tick chart, take a look. the amount of ticks you choose depend on your specific trading methods/timeframes and on the financial instrument being applied to. I daytrade mini future index contracts here in brazil, and 5 to 8 Renko suits best.

[@floydsmithjr7999]

One thing that helps me break procrastination or indecision is to ask myself “If I was paper trading would I take this trade?” 99% of the time the answer is yes. If I was paper trading and the answer was no, I wouldn’t have spent more than 8 seconds looking at it and been outta there. The mind is a terrible thing.

[@ImanTrading]

That’s a great way of dealing with that. Gonna have to add that to my reminders list

[@swapnilkshirsagar7177]

Sir 3 questions: 1. Is there anyway to get tick chart in tradingview 2. How not to overtrade? 3. How to accept losses?

[@ImanTrading]

Not sure about trading view. For over trading, the best way to deal with that is by only allowing a certain amount of trades per day. For some, only allowing two trades per day stops overtrading and makes them more picky about the right setups. For accepting losses, I recommend watching my mark Douglas videos. He has some brilliant things to say. Losses are unavoidable - one phrase that helps some people is “stop trying to not lose.” Having a wider perspective helps, rather than focusing on each trade. Mark talks about that mindset in the videos :)

[@n8mail76]

True 9:01 I only use ticks when analyzing my performance. I have set max loss, max profit, max drawdown. I want to quit when I've lost my edge, or before I lose it. I want to stop and reevaluate if I go on a losing streak.

When is something "high"? When is it "low"? These terms are subjective to the observer, and a market can always go "higher" than what you think is high, and vice-versa. Gold, the Nasdaq and S&P have been trading higher and higher since the beginning of their chart data. When will they be too high?

[@Djam0]

@imantrading are you still using supply and demand as a trading strategy?

[@Kevinschart]

The reality is that every one is trend trading. If you get a 2x or a 5x trade, guess what, you've caught a trend. If you trade with a negative risk reward and you keep winning, it's because you caught the same exact trend. Trading is simple. Buy low sell high. Just keep doing it over and over. These concepts are meant to help you give structure to the market for analysis, and can potentially help you improve your entry prices. They also help you to maximize profits when you're right, and minimize losses when you're wrong.

I saw a good demonstration about how useless support and resistance levels can be. The presenter turned off the candles, chose a random point in time, and drew some random horizontal lines on the chart. When he turned the candles back on, it would have been easy to convince yourself that those lines mattered based on the patterns, even though they were completely random.
