[@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!

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.

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.

Supply and demand are the movement of price (down and up, respectively). Support and Resistance are anticipated areas where opposing orders will be placed or additional orders will be lacking, causing the supply or demand to contract or even reverse.

[@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

[@timclayton8214]

I enjoyed this video thanks. You briefly mentioned volume. I like volume stuff, especially that horizontal thing volume at price. Have you made a video that mentions that? It seems to be related to supply and demand. thanks.

[@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.

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 :)

[@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.

[@shaunt4588]

I've watched Secret and Carmine a lot and repeatedly. Like you, watching it before sleeping etc. But not to the point of dreaming about it yet. . They were my intro to S&D. I just started watching you recently and your videos are filling the missing pieces of this whole S&D strat. Thank you for you and your videos.......In this video, at the 14:00 mark, you said "the time between candles decreases". What does that mean, can you elaborate please. TIA

[@ImanTrading]

Thank you Shaun! Great question. In that chart, I'm using a tick chart rather than a time chart. So, traditionally, a 5 minute candle just means there's a candle that represents 5 minutes. Of course. But, with this 1750 tick chart, it means that each candle represents 1750 transactions (each time someone buys and sells, that counts as 1 tick). So, when trading is happening a lot like in the morning or before close, the time between candles goes down because more transactions are happening. In the morning, you might get 1 candle per minute, but, during lunch, you might get 1 candle every 5 minutes. During premarket and aftermarket, it might be 20 minutes between each candle. Let me know if you have any more questions.

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.

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.
