Winning Trading Logic – Detecting Supply and Demand Unbalance

As we have pointed out in our article, detecting the supply and demand unbalance is the most important key in making profits in Financial market. The excessive momentum indicator is the automated tool to detect these unbalance in supply and demand for your trading. With excessive momentum drawn in your chart, it is much easier to predict the timing of new trend and its direction.

Here is the insightful article explaining where the profits comes and how the profits are captured with the knowledge of excessive momentum. If you really want to make money in the market, must read this article. Reading does not cost you anything.

Identifying Order and Disorder in Chaotic Market with Elliott Wave

In this article, we will explain how to identify order and disorder in the chaotic market with Elliott Wave Analysis. As a trader, you will agree that scientific method can improve your profits. Whether you are using correlation, geometric patterns, or statistics, they are baesed on science. Even latency arbitrages are just a sort of computer science or engineering, one could dig deeper on how to fine-tune the algorithm, network and internet speed to beat others. If any trading strategy has persistent dynamics towards profitability, we can formulate or describe their working mechanism using known science and engineering principle. Hence, we can reproduce the same mechanism repeatedly for our trading. Most winning trading strategies are based on some sort of precise science and engineering. Profit will never come blindly or by just a chance.

Topic in this article is partly about chaos theory. As one knows, chaos theory as in nonlinear dynamics is a hard-core math topic. However, we will not touch the complex theory because this article is for average trader. The focus of this article is to provide some intuition over this hard science, chaos theory. Chaos theory reveals several characteristic for some dynamic system like stock or currency market. Here is the list of four important characteristics:

Highly sensitive to initial condition (i.e. Butterfly effect)
Feedback loop
Order/Disorder
Fractals (i.e. self-similarity)
Etc

Finally, one might ask if they can go beyond 4 triangles like or 5 triangles or 8 triangles to calculate the density. From my empirical study, it is rare to see anything above 4 triangles. In this point, my empirical study and R. N. Elliott observation agrees. That is why Elliott comes up with Elliott Wave 12345 pattern and not Elliott Wave 12345678 pattern.

Final Note:

We hope this is useful for your profitable trading. Elliott Wave Trend has the following automatic features:

Detect the density of geometric patterns (identifying order and disorder of financial market.)
Automatic Elliott Wave Counting for trading.
Manual Elliott Wave Counting for trading.
Automatic Wave Structure Score calculation.

Harmonic Pattern Scanner

Harmonic Pattern Scanner is the automated tool to detect harmonic patterns. Here is very simple explanation on type of pattern detection algorithm behind Harmonic Pattern Scanner. Not all the harmonic pattern detection algorithms are the same. In the past the main variations of Harmonic pattern detection algorithms can be categorized as following four types.

Type 1: Non lagging (fast signal) but repainting – option to enter from turning point. Indicator does not show the failed pattern in chart and last pattern can repaint.

Type 2: Lagging (slow signal) but non repainting – no option to enter at turning point (i.e. early signal). Indicator does not show the failed pattern but last pattern does not repaint.

Type 3: Detecting pattern at point C but repainting – option to enter at turning point. Indicator detect pattern too early and you have to wait quite bit of time until price move near the point D. In fact, price may not move near point D. You might just waste your time waiting for the pattern. Indicator does not show the failed pattern and last pattern can repaint.

Type 4: Non lagging (fast signal) and non repainting – option to enter from turning point. At the same time, the pattern is not repainting. This is hybrid of all above three system and can be considered as the most powerful harmonic pattern indicator.

Harmonic Pattern in Forex and Stock market is an advanced technique for your trading although it is hard to find out any scientific reference to its usage. We know that harmonic pattern is originated from Fibonacci Ratio Analysis. However, that is not sufficient to bring your harmonic pattern trading to another level. There is a need to pin down the harmonic pattern in terms of the science, that are the price dynamics and cycles.

Although the harmonic pattern are used by many successful trading strategies, no book or article will really pin down the science behind the harmonic pattern. The book: Science Of Support, Resistance, Fibonacci Analysis, Harmonic Pattern, Elliott Wave and X3 Chart Pattern (In Forex and Stock Market Trading) is exactly the book dedicated for this topic. This book will tell you the wisdom behind the harmonic pattern in Forex and Stock market trading.

Understanding the scientific principle always help you to bring it further than other traders. This book incorporates the price dynamics and cycles to explain why and how the harmonic patterns are formed in your chart. This also covers why the harmonic pattern and other Fibonacci based patterns are repainting. The book also provides how to detect them as well as how to trade them.

The book can be found in all the major book distributors in the world. Please choose the best book distributor you like from the link below including amazon.com, Google Play Book, scribd.com, Apple Book and so on.

In previous chapter, we have introduced the Fractal Wave Channel. Probably it was not hard in term of how to construct Fractal Wave channels. Now the same idea can be extended using the superimposed patterns. Construction of Superimposed Channel can be done in two steps as before. Firstly, we will draw the base line by connecting point 1 and point 3. Secondly, by projecting the base line in parallel to point 2, we can create the channel over the superimposed pattern. It is typically good idea to aim to draw the channel on the 3 points of larger Equilibrium Fractal Wave. The channel on superimposed pattern has stronger prediction power comparing to the channel created from single EFW. If you are not convinced with this idea, then imagine simple two waves interfering. Two waves can interact together either constructive or destructive. To have the constructive interference, two waves must have the peak or trough overlapping in the same position. When the final points of two equilibrium fractal waves end up in the same position, two equilibrium fractal waves will have the constructive relationship. For example, traders recognized EFW 1 as the trading opportunity will join the force together with traders recognized EFW 2 as the trading opportunity. Hence, the superimposed patterns with two or three EFWs will bring much stronger reaction to the market. In general, more EFWs are superimposed together, its prediction power will grow too. Therefore, superimposed patterns are naturally the best location to place your channel.

EFW Analytics provide the graphic rich and fully visual trading styles. In default trading strategy, you will be looking at the combined signal from Superimposed pattern + EFW Channel or Superimposed pattern + Superimposed Channel. In addition, you can perform many more trading strategies in a reversal and breakout mode. You can also run two different timeframes in one chart to enforce your trading decision. Sound alert, email and push notification are built inside the indicator.

Volume spread analysis and excessive momentum zone are not a rocket science although detection of excessive momentum requires the sophisticated algorithm. But we did a lot of work to provide you the automated tools for your trading. With the automated Excessive Momentum detection tool, you can easily detect the broken balance between supply and demand for your trading. With excessive momentum drawn in your chart, it is much easier to predict the timing of new trend and its direction.

Here is three important summary about the Excessive momentum, Accumulation and Distribution area.

1. Excessive momentum provides the important clue to detect accumulation and distribution area outlined by Wickoff Cycle. Other methodology of finding Accumulation and Distribution area is not as good as the Excessive momentum indicator.

2. Detected Accumulation and Distribution area can indicate the fresh price movement that will expand in full scale. This is often the best entry or exit for your trading with highest rewards and smallest risks.

3. Accumulation and distribution area do not come in alternating manner. It can come like accumulation – accumulation – distribution or distribution – distribution – distribution – accumulation. Hence, do not get confused it from the original Wickoff cycle screenshot.

Excessive Momentum Indicator can detect the final phase of the price momentum. This final phase of the price momentum usually provide the good place to identify the accumulation and distribution area in Volume Spread Analysis. At the same time, this final phase of the price momentum is a excellent place to identify the supply and demand unbalance in the market. Excessive Momentum Indicator is the excellent tool for the advanced momentum trading. Here is link to Excessive Momentum Indicator for MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5.

Scan Supply Demand Zone Across All Timeframe

In Ace Supply Demand Zone indicator, you can scan the supply and demand zone across all timeframe for your Forex trading. This is a powerful feature included in Ace Supply Demand Zone indicator. Controlling the Multiple Timeframe scanning is similar to our other MetaTrader products like Harmonic Pattern Plus or X3 Chart Pattern Scanner. You can control them from the inputs under the Multiple Timeframe Scanning. With the inputs, you can enable or disable multiple timeframe scanning. You can also choose to switch on or off specific timeframe from your dashboard. In addition, you can also control how frequently the indicator should scan. The default value for update frequency is M5 timeframe. However, you can use M1 for update frequency if you need to scan them more frequently.

If you enabled email or push notification in the inputs under General Setting, then you can also receive the alert for the detected supply and demand zone as well as the touched supply and demand zone. The thing you need to understand about multiple timeframe scanning is that it requires multiple computation too per each timeframe. The computation can be heavier up to 7 times or more when you enabled M1 to D1 timeframes. Hence, due to data loading issues, the calculation might be stuck sometimes. In that case, just click Show button to refresh all the calculation. Of course, it is possible to switch off the multiple timeframe scanning if you only want to trade one timeframe.
