1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:04,880
so now we should have a very solid understanding of market structure and
2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:09,519
how we essentially use market structure as a mechanical framework to guide us
3
00:00:09,519 --> 00:00:13,840
through the order flow of the market but now we are ready to start to look at
4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:19,439
the actual mechanics of the market as in what is actually behind the production
5
00:00:19,439 --> 00:00:23,840
and the interaction of that order flow that then generates the market structure
6
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,119
that we have just been spending time analyzing
7
00:00:27,119 --> 00:00:31,679
now as history has repeatedly shown speculators as an aggregate they are
8
00:00:31,679 --> 00:00:36,480
often a very very emotionally charged group and when you get millions of them
9
00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:42,239
together in a highly emotional money game of fear greed and uncertainty their
10
00:00:42,239 --> 00:00:47,039
combined behavior kind of takes on a kind of you know herd mentality
11
00:00:47,039 --> 00:00:50,960
so technical analysis is the framework that we use to identify training
12
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,800
opportunities through the study of price movement and volume
13
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,800
from that battle between buyers and sellers that is then reflected on a
14
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,600
price chart so big commercial companies you know
15
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:06,240
putting huge orders through the market to save a japanese construction company
16
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:11,119
maybe they need to buy thousands of tons of timber from canada for example
17
00:01:11,119 --> 00:01:14,720
then they're going to need to exchange a large amount of japanese yen for
18
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,080
canadian dollars in order to make that purchase
19
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,360
so they approach the dating desks at large banks to facilitate that
20
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:26,640
transaction on their behalf so bfis banks and financial institutions those
21
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,439
are the other big players who are putting you know massive orders through
22
00:01:29,439 --> 00:01:34,320
the market for various reasons then we also have speculators who are
23
00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:37,520
purely trading to try and extract the profit from the movement in exchange
24
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:42,479
rates right and this also includes large finance institutions as well as
25
00:01:42,479 --> 00:01:48,159
independent retail traders such as us now that is of course not an exhaustive
26
00:01:48,159 --> 00:01:51,520
list of market participants it's just kind of some of the main ones that we
27
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,880
can think about now all of those are affected by the
28
00:01:54,880 --> 00:02:00,240
forces of human emotion that come into play when sums of money are involved
29
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:04,399
and all of this behavior and participation is what drives the order
30
00:02:04,399 --> 00:02:08,479
flow that is put through the market so that interaction of buyers and
31
00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:12,400
sellers with that order flow then prints the price action that we actually see on
32
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,520
our charts and that price action then creates
33
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,160
patterns and it's these patterns that repeat
34
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,680
themselves over and over time and time again
35
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,560
you know crowd psychology has been reflected in the prices of stocks
36
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,319
indices commodities futures and currencies since the beginning of the
37
00:02:28,319 --> 00:02:31,360
free market and that interaction of you know
38
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:35,360
millions of different participants for as many reasons all of their own
39
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,200
emotions and agendas that forms price patterns that stretch over extended
40
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:44,000
periods of time and can be used to make high probability forecasts of where
41
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:49,760
price may potentially move in the future now currency exchange rates they move up
42
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,920
and down as a result of supply and demand from market speculators
43
00:02:53,920 --> 00:02:58,239
so every day investors and traders both institutional and private individuals
44
00:02:58,239 --> 00:03:01,920
all buy and sell currencies and the numerous types of market participants
45
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:05,680
that we just discussed they are buying or selling for their own unique reasons
46
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,599
with their own unique views ideas and beliefs around what the currency pairs
47
00:03:09,599 --> 00:03:14,239
they are trading are actually worth now the meeting point of those buyers
48
00:03:14,239 --> 00:03:18,959
and sellers for whatever reason that they are acting is price
49
00:03:18,959 --> 00:03:24,080
so no trades can take place unless both the buyer and the seller actually agree
50
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,879
on a price so this drives the price of currency
51
00:03:26,879 --> 00:03:30,560
pairs with buyers bringing with them demand for the pair applying that up
52
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,640
with pressure on prices while sellers bring supply applying downward pressure
53
00:03:34,640 --> 00:03:38,560
on prices and the market runs like a continuous auction throughout the day
54
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,760
with buyers and sellers constantly competing with each other to get the
55
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:46,080
best possible price now in a perfect kind of free market
56
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,560
this would be a pretty smooth and fair process however in the financial markets
57
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,000
this can often be quite a heavily manipulated process
58
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,000
so let me explain first we need to have a quick and very
59
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:03,439
very basic lesson on economics 101. so on this diagram on the y-axis on the
60
00:04:03,439 --> 00:04:07,840
left-hand side we have the price level for the cost of product x right and then
61
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:12,560
down along the bottom on the x-axis we have the quantity of product x that is
62
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,000
available to buy from sellers of product x
63
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,400
so now what we do is we plot on this line here and this line represents the
64
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,320
the demand from people for the product
65
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:28,560
so obviously at the start of the curve where price is at its highest the amount
66
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:33,520
of quantity demanded for product x will be near its lowest because not everyone
67
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:38,880
really wants to pay or maybe can afford such an expensive price for product x
68
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:43,919
but as the price falls the demand for it will increase and increase and increase
69
00:04:43,919 --> 00:04:48,080
more people will want to buy or will be able to buy the product as it gets
70
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,720
cheaper that makes logical sense right
71
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,919
of course there are some exceptions you know like designer clothes for example
72
00:04:53,919 --> 00:04:57,440
where more people actually desire them the more expensive that they are
73
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:02,479
but generally when something is cheaper more people want and demand it
74
00:05:02,479 --> 00:05:07,280
so at the lower price p2 more quantity of the product is demanded
75
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:10,400
at q2 so demand increases
76
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,840
as the price falls now let's just remove the demand curve
77
00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:17,199
for a second and we'll bring it back in a minute
78
00:05:17,199 --> 00:05:20,800
so this line here represents the supply of product x
79
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,639
so down at the start of the curve on the bottom left-hand corner where price is
80
00:05:24,639 --> 00:05:29,360
at its lowest the amount of quantity that is supplied to the market for it
81
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,440
will be at its lowest but as the price rises the supply of the
82
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,080
product will increase and increase and increase
83
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:40,560
because suppliers so sellers of the product they will then be more heavily
84
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,479
incentivized to supply and sell the product because they're going to receive
85
00:05:44,479 --> 00:05:47,759
more money right in exchange for actually supplying it
86
00:05:47,759 --> 00:05:51,520
so hopefully this also makes logical sense because the higher the price that
87
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,960
you can get for selling something generally the more of it you're going to
88
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,560
want to sell or you know more people will then enter
89
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,919
into the market and they will also start to sell it
90
00:06:01,919 --> 00:06:08,000
so the total supply of product x will increase that the higher the price is
91
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:14,400
so supply increases as the price rises but we can't just only have sellers in
92
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,720
the market and we can't just only have buyers in the market we need both a
93
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,560
buyer who demands a product and a seller who supplies the product
94
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:27,440
because it takes two to make a market so when you plot both the demand curve
95
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,319
and you plot both the supply curve over each other
96
00:06:30,319 --> 00:06:33,199
you can then see where the market price will be
97
00:06:33,199 --> 00:06:37,840
so where buyers and sellers meet is where they agree to exchange money for
98
00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:41,759
their goods or service and that determines the market price
99
00:06:41,759 --> 00:06:47,360
so that price for the supply meets demand that is the fair market value
100
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,880
but what happens if there is a lot of demand for a product
101
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,720
what if there is so much demand that the product completely sells out and there
102
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,880
are no more sellers left at that price level but people are still demanding it
103
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,319
people still want to buy it but there's no one there to sell it to them well the
104
00:07:02,319 --> 00:07:05,520
price is going to increase right because there needs to be an incentive
105
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:10,319
for new suppliers to enter the market to fulfill that increase in demand
106
00:07:10,319 --> 00:07:13,840
or people you know who still have the product left to sell they're simply just
107
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,199
going to increase their prices because they know that they can get away with
108
00:07:17,199 --> 00:07:21,039
charging a higher price right because there is so much demand that people will
109
00:07:21,039 --> 00:07:23,680
be willing to potentially pay a higher price
110
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,759
so what happens is the demand curve shifts up like this
111
00:07:27,759 --> 00:07:32,960
so now the price goes up in order to increase the supply of the product
112
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:38,160
to meet that increase in demand for it so if everyone wants to buy a product
113
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:42,400
but nobody wants to sell it at the price p1 then the only way to either fulfill
114
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,639
or reduce the demand is to increase the price to p2
115
00:07:46,639 --> 00:07:51,680
so then you'll get the increase in the quantity supplied from q1 to q2
116
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,360
so if the price goes up then the amount of supply will go up
117
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,639
and the market reaches a new higher equilibrium price
118
00:07:58,639 --> 00:08:03,520
from that increase in demand and this is the new fair market value
119
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:08,479
so the exchange rate in the forex market it works by the exact same principle
120
00:08:08,479 --> 00:08:12,720
this mechanism is going on continuously every single second that the market is
121
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,240
open and price is constantly moving pip by pip
122
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,160
to match the price perfectly between the demand and supply
123
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:24,960
between both buyers and sellers and that is how a free market works
124
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,560
now the more liquid a market is the easier that price can slowly you know
125
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,880
move slowly and smoothly up and down but when there is an overwhelming
126
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:37,120
imbalance between the supply and demand so when there is a lot more quantity
127
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:41,519
demanded then there are actually sellers supplying it or maybe a lot more sellers
128
00:08:41,519 --> 00:08:45,040
supplying the product then there are actually people willing to buy it at the
129
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,320
current market price then there is an aggressive change in
130
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,399
the price level because either the supply or the demand
131
00:08:52,399 --> 00:08:56,560
right it has to shift a significant amount to find the new market
132
00:08:56,560 --> 00:09:00,720
equilibrium price so in an ideal situation if markets are
133
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,399
absolutely perfect this would be quite a natural process where buyers and sellers
134
00:09:04,399 --> 00:09:09,040
can freely agree on price however in the financial markets this movement of price
135
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,959
is often quite a manipulative process so the big players that we mentioned
136
00:09:12,959 --> 00:09:16,959
earlier you know the banks the hedge funds and any any sort of large
137
00:09:16,959 --> 00:09:19,839
institution they have the ability to control
138
00:09:19,839 --> 00:09:24,240
movements of price to a degree due to the huge amounts of volume that they put
139
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:28,480
out into the market you know using all sorts of tactics to trick traders into
140
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:32,480
potentially taking the other side of their positions in order to utilize them
141
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,480
for liquidity now being able to recognize this is
142
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,959
going to bring you one step closer to joining them
143
00:09:38,959 --> 00:09:42,240
because what if i told you that on the price charts they actually leave
144
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:46,000
footprints and clues indicating their manipulative actions
145
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:50,959
see these institutions they just have no way to actually hide the overwhelming
146
00:09:50,959 --> 00:09:54,160
imbalance in the supply demand that they create
147
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:58,240
to cause price to move in their favor because their order flow is just so
148
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,320
large because when they put their orders
149
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:04,640
through it creates those huge shifts and imbalances in the supply and demand in
150
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,279
the market now every time frame shows the same
151
00:10:07,279 --> 00:10:11,200
patterns again and again where you can literally see where this is happening
152
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,399
so using all of the time frames together you know it's going to provide a clear
153
00:10:14,399 --> 00:10:18,800
picture on where the big players are entering and exiting the market so that
154
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:23,279
we can time our entries and exit with extreme precision using a mechanical
155
00:10:23,279 --> 00:10:26,480
edge but before we look at how we can you
156
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:30,560
know see these imbalances being caused between supply and demand by those big
157
00:10:30,560 --> 00:10:34,160
players on our price charts first we must understand a little bit
158
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:39,040
more about the mechanics behind that order flow in the market
159
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:43,760
so order flow is the interplay between both passive and aggressive orders in
160
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:48,240
the market in more simple terms it essentially just means the interaction
161
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:52,240
between buyers and sellers so the supply and demand that they bring into the
162
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,640
market via their orders right that they are
163
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,640
putting through the market now a passive order is an order in which
164
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,959
the price is different from the current market bid and ask price
165
00:11:02,959 --> 00:11:06,720
so this is typically limit and stop orders so orders which are waiting for
166
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,240
price to either come up or come down to them to hit them
167
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,839
so kind of a really simple way to think about this is passive orders are
168
00:11:13,839 --> 00:11:17,760
essentially just pending orders sitting in the order book waiting to be filled
169
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,600
when price eventually reaches them so remember
170
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:26,240
a limit order is one where you buy or sell at a specified price or better
171
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:31,040
below or above the current market price now the other type of passive order is
172
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:35,360
called a stop order and a stop order is where you buy or sell at a specified
173
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,519
price or worse above or below the current market price
174
00:11:39,519 --> 00:11:43,120
now if you haven't done so already please watch the module on brokers where
175
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,880
we discuss the different order types in much more depth
176
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,600
so both of those stop and limit orders are
177
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,800
classified as passive orders so essentially they're just pending orders
178
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,560
that are sitting in the order book waiting to be hit right but the other
179
00:11:56,560 --> 00:12:00,399
type of order is called an aggressive order and aggressive orders are when a
180
00:12:00,399 --> 00:12:04,240
trader executes the order instantly so that they buy or sell at the current
181
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:09,360
best market ask or bid price so it's generally an at market order
182
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,120
so if you just want to instantly buy an instrument right you will get filled at
183
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,720
the best current ask price and if you instantly want to sell an
184
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:21,680
instrument then you will get filled at the best current bid price
185
00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:24,399
so order flow as a whole
186
00:12:24,399 --> 00:12:27,920
it is essentially just the interaction so the interplay between all of these
187
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,519
types of orders so you have the passive orders those pending orders that are
188
00:12:31,519 --> 00:12:33,920
just sitting there in the order book waiting to be hit
189
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,959
and then these passive orders are actually visible in the order book you
190
00:12:36,959 --> 00:12:40,720
can see them you know just sitting there but then you have the aggressive orders
191
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:45,839
where traders just step in and instantly hit either the current best bid or ask
192
00:12:45,839 --> 00:12:49,920
price so what does that actually look like
193
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,600
well something that is commonly used in the markets which trade through a
194
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,200
central exchange such as the futures market and most
195
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:02,079
stock markets is a price ladder which essentially visualizes the order book so
196
00:13:02,079 --> 00:13:06,399
it's otherwise known as the dom or the depth of market and it shows all of the
197
00:13:06,399 --> 00:13:09,600
bids and offers you know those passive orders that are sitting in the market
198
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:13,360
those limit and stop orders and it shows the amount of volume so the amount of
199
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:18,000
supply and demand that is sitting at each individual price level
200
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,760
so on the left hand side you have the bids so the amount of demands that is
201
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:25,519
willing to buy at each price level and then you have the offers on the
202
00:13:25,519 --> 00:13:30,480
right-hand side so commonly referred to as the ask prices which shows the amount
203
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:34,880
of supply at each price level so the top green level is the current
204
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:39,680
best market bid and the bottom red level is the current best market ask
205
00:13:39,680 --> 00:13:44,000
and the blue price in the middle that represents that last price level that
206
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:48,639
was traded at so in this case the last trade that was executed was someone
207
00:13:48,639 --> 00:13:53,600
buying at the ask price of one spot one five three zero
208
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:57,920
because remember you have to buy at the ask on the right and you sell on the bid
209
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,600
price on the left so if you want to sell then you have to
210
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,959
sell to the highest bidder and if you want to buy then you can buy from
211
00:14:04,959 --> 00:14:09,279
whoever is asking for the lowest price for the product right
212
00:14:09,279 --> 00:14:13,279
now when you go and look at your own forex broker what you will see is just
213
00:14:13,279 --> 00:14:17,440
the current best bid and the current best ask and then the difference between
214
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:22,880
those two prices is the spread right so in this case the spread would be 1.1530
215
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:28,160
minus 1.1529 which essentially means a spread of one pip
216
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,360
so if you wanted to instantly buy an instrument that would be an aggressive
217
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:35,440
order and you would buy at the current best ask price meaning you would hit
218
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:42,000
that passive order at 1.1530 and you pay the spread of one pip
219
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,639
so let's take a look at a very very oversimplified uh you know a theoretical
220
00:14:46,639 --> 00:14:50,800
example of what can happen on the order book in the live market
221
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,839
so imagine that this was the order book for euro dollar
222
00:14:53,839 --> 00:14:56,800
now let's say that a company over in america
223
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,720
they want to buy an innovative tech company that is doing really really well
224
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,680
in europe now that american company is going to
225
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,680
need euros in order to buy that european company right so they will call up their
226
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:11,519
banks dealing desk and they will say that let's say they need to buy 20 000
227
00:15:11,519 --> 00:15:14,240
lots of euro dollar because they're gonna need to sell their
228
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:18,240
us dollars to buy euros right and they tell the bank standing desk
229
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:22,880
that they need this transaction completed within 48 hours uh please give
230
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,639
us the best possible price now the banks traders you know sitting
231
00:15:26,639 --> 00:15:31,040
on that dealing desk they may not want to put through all of those 20 000 lots
232
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:35,759
all in one go because there may not be enough liquidity to fill that huge order
233
00:15:35,759 --> 00:15:40,160
without experiencing massive slippage because if we look at this current
234
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,639
example if you look on the right hand side we
235
00:15:42,639 --> 00:15:46,240
can see the amount of supply that is sitting there on all of those different
236
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,600
ask prices now if the bank was to instantly buy at
237
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:54,320
market with those 20 000 lots price will absorb all of the supply on
238
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,920
the right-hand side you know that huge demand that the bank would be entering
239
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:02,480
into the market it's going to eat up all of that supply and price will just keep
240
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,880
going up and up and up until every single one of those 20 000
241
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,000
lots have been filled you know if they were to enter that with
242
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,120
an aggressive order so an app market order
243
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:17,440
so what they may do instead is split up the order into smaller parts to hedge
244
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:21,279
the risk of experiencing that negative slippage and see if they can average out
245
00:16:21,279 --> 00:16:25,120
a better price for their client so let's keep it simple and let's just
246
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:29,839
say that they enter half of the position now so they press buy on 10 000 lots for
247
00:16:29,839 --> 00:16:35,120
an app market execution so they hit the best current ask price
248
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:39,839
and what will happen is the 10 000 total lots sitting on those ask prices will
249
00:16:39,839 --> 00:16:44,959
instantly get absorbed and the price will shoot straight up to 1.1539
250
00:16:44,959 --> 00:16:48,720
due to that huge imbalance between supply and demand right because there
251
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,959
was an overwhelming amount of demand at that current market level so what did
252
00:16:52,959 --> 00:16:56,720
price have to do price had to rapidly shoot up in order
253
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,880
to fulfill that huge shift in demand until there was enough supply at a
254
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:05,520
higher price level to balance price back out to you know balance both supply and
255
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:10,640
demand and now the market is sitting at what is deemed to be fair value between
256
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:14,400
buyers and sellers so half of their order has now been
257
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,720
filled but the bank doesn't want to you know
258
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,079
keep chasing the market higher and higher and get filled at an even worse
259
00:17:20,079 --> 00:17:23,919
price for their remaining volume right for those remaining 10 000 knots
260
00:17:23,919 --> 00:17:27,120
so what they do is they leave the remaining 10 000 knots as a passive
261
00:17:27,120 --> 00:17:32,320
order so as a buy limit order back down around that original price level of
262
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,200
1.1529 as this is where they hope that the
263
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:40,080
market will eventually trade back down to fill them uh within the next 48 hours
264
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,760
for their client now if price eventually gets back down
265
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:48,480
to that level of 1.1529 what do you think are the odds that
266
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:53,520
there will be more supply than demand to absorb all of that demand of that huge
267
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:58,400
buy order of 10 000 knots and the rest right to keep pushing price down past
268
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:03,039
that level to keep pushing price down past 1.1529
269
00:18:03,039 --> 00:18:07,120
i would say the probability is that price is more likely to see a bullish
270
00:18:07,120 --> 00:18:10,480
move from that price level or at the very minimum there will be a bullish
271
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,080
bounce right there'll be a bit of a reaction as the market experiences that
272
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,440
imbalance between supply and demand at that level
273
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,960
so essentially what this does is it gives you a really great edge to look to
274
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:25,120
be buying around that level right with this huge demand and then surf on the
275
00:18:25,120 --> 00:18:28,720
coattails of that order flow right of the order flow of the whales of those
276
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:33,919
large institutions in the market now because the spot forex market is an
277
00:18:33,919 --> 00:18:38,400
otc market which means it's traded over the counter this means it is a
278
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:43,120
decentralized market so there isn't one central exchange where all of the total
279
00:18:43,120 --> 00:18:46,480
volume and all of the total trading activity goes through
280
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:50,160
so you can't really look at an order book of just one liquidity provider and
281
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:54,400
get a super accurate view of what the true total order book looks like for the
282
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:59,120
entire forex market as a whole but we don't need to and also in reality
283
00:18:59,120 --> 00:19:02,240
you know reading a price ladder can be very very complicated as all of this
284
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:06,000
buying and selling activity so the interaction between supply and demand is
285
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,840
extremely dynamic especially when you throw in the aggressive orders that are
286
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:13,280
hitting the bids and the asks that are sitting there so it can be very hard to
287
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:17,520
read so instead what we use is a price chart
288
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:21,679
and a price chart gives us tons of information on the current and the past
289
00:19:21,679 --> 00:19:26,240
prices that have been traded and in the chronological order in which those
290
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,280
levels were traded so essentially we just see that middle
291
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:33,600
column here of how price moved up and down those levels but also how quickly
292
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,120
price moves up and down those levels and that's where multi-time frame analysis
293
00:19:37,120 --> 00:19:41,120
comes into play and that's why we use candlestick charts because they give us
294
00:19:41,120 --> 00:19:44,880
a lot of information but you just need to know how to be able to read it
295
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,480
effectively so with this example on this order book
296
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,080
here of what we just went through how could that example possibly look
297
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:57,120
like on a price chart well how we may potentially see you know
298
00:19:57,120 --> 00:20:00,240
something similar to that and the order book theory that we just looked at
299
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:04,159
obviously a very sort of you know oversimplified theory of how it really
300
00:20:04,159 --> 00:20:08,559
goes on in the market where we have you know millions of different participants
301
00:20:08,559 --> 00:20:12,080
but generally you'll see price kind of chopping around sort of you know ranging
302
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:16,159
sideways moving up and down not really going anywhere with real conviction
303
00:20:16,159 --> 00:20:19,600
right just some even distribution between buyers and sellers
304
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:24,320
and then boom what happens we get that overwhelming imbalance between supply
305
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:28,240
and demand right where demand has clearly overpowered supply and we have
306
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:32,640
initiated of that range and broken to the upside right so imagine you know 10
307
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,520
000 the order's just been filled and pressure is priced all the way up to the
308
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:40,799
upside to try and find as much supply in order to fill all of those those lots
309
00:20:40,799 --> 00:20:45,200
that that um you know the bank firmware institution wants to buy so price then
310
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,960
shoots up to the upside but it's very likely that there's still
311
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:53,280
going to be a lot of sitting demand back within those initial price levels um of
312
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:57,840
where there'll be orders and liquidity that price wants to then fill so we will
313
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,039
very often see as then price start to make its way back down towards that
314
00:21:01,039 --> 00:21:05,280
alert of it back down towards that level pick up those orders and then boom
315
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:09,600
you'll see another imbalance between that supply and demand again as those
316
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:13,679
remaining orders are filled and demand is now fully in control and yeah we just
317
00:21:13,679 --> 00:21:18,159
see the same thing happen again and again and again right if you just go and
318
00:21:18,159 --> 00:21:21,200
look on any single price chart and you just scroll back right you'll just see
319
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,559
the exact same thing happen again where which you have price ranging price
320
00:21:24,559 --> 00:21:28,240
initiates out as we get that imbalance between supply and demand price comes
321
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:32,000
back into that demand and it fills the next orders right we get that range
322
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,440
price initiates out the price comes back in to fill those orders right we get a
323
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,720
range pricing initiates outright the origin of that move price comes in to
324
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,080
fill more orders and then we move away right we initiate out that range price
325
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,120
comes back into for those orders with a demand stepped in and we initiate that
326
00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:48,720
range right we come here break up those highs price comes back in
327
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,799
to fill the remaining demand right it just happens again and again and again
328
00:21:52,799 --> 00:21:56,640
right price ranging we initiate out price comes back in to fill those orders
329
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,840
right same thing original range down here right that was the origin of the
330
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,559
move price comes in a little bit lower to fill those orders right it needed
331
00:22:02,559 --> 00:22:06,400
more demand to then continue that move and the same thing will just continue to
332
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,440
happen right just get rid of all that price action and play it forward a bit
333
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,880
um you know it's on every single time frame right
334
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,520
time doesn't know price price is no time it's just orders going through the
335
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:19,120
market that we can then see on those calendars right as price continues to
336
00:22:19,120 --> 00:22:23,039
move up right it pulls back it ranges demand steps in again to take control
337
00:22:23,039 --> 00:22:27,919
boom right pull back into demand to then continue to fuel the move right then we
338
00:22:27,919 --> 00:22:31,600
have this range here demand steps in price comes back in to fill those
339
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,960
remaining orders and then we come off right demand steps in price comes back
340
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:39,360
into that demand to then make another move here right again and again and
341
00:22:39,360 --> 00:22:42,080
again so obviously we'll cover this a lot more depth in the charts in a bit
342
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,440
but now you can kind of just see how a simple example like that actually is
343
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:50,080
translated onto the candles on the charts
344
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,360
so if you're a little bit confused potentially about some of the things
345
00:22:53,360 --> 00:22:56,559
that we just discussed in this lesson you know don't worry too much watch it a
346
00:22:56,559 --> 00:23:00,159
few times if you need to just to kind of you know really make it sink in
347
00:23:00,159 --> 00:23:04,080
but when it comes to supply and demand the following is literally
348
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:08,559
all you really need to think about so literally all we're doing is we're
349
00:23:08,559 --> 00:23:12,240
just looking for where there are large imbalances between supply and demand
350
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,799
that cause those huge shifts in the market
351
00:23:14,799 --> 00:23:18,720
so we are trying to identify the charts you know where an overwhelming amount of
352
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:23,440
demand entered the market to cause price to rapidly move to the upside but then
353
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:27,039
we'll look to buy when price returns to those areas of demand
354
00:23:27,039 --> 00:23:30,000
and then we'll also look for where there was an overwhelming amount of supply
355
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:34,240
that entered the market to cause prices to rapidly move to the downside and
356
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,919
we'll look to sell when price returns those areas of supply
357
00:23:37,919 --> 00:23:41,200
now when we combine this with everything that we already now know about market
358
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:46,159
structure so when we've identified the exact high value areas of the trend in
359
00:23:46,159 --> 00:23:49,520
which we want to position ourselves in right we've used multi-timeframe
360
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,120
analysis to wait for all of those time frames to sync to give us as much
361
00:23:53,120 --> 00:23:57,360
confirmation as possible then we over overlay that and overlap
362
00:23:57,360 --> 00:24:02,320
that with supply and demand that then becomes another extremely powerful tool
363
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:06,159
to help us with timing and refining our positions
364
00:24:06,159 --> 00:24:08,880
and our exits and this is what we're going to dive
365
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:14,039
really deep into over the next few lessons37939
