What is demand and supply zone trading?
Demand and supply zone trading marks the price areas where large buy or sell orders were left unfilled, then plans trades for when price returns. A demand zone forms when price leaves a short base with a strong rally; a supply zone forms when it leaves with a strong drop. These lessons teach one consistent rulebook: the 50% candle rule, four zone patterns, body-to-wick marking, freshness, a 7-point zone score, three-timeframe analysis, and 1% risk position sizing. Every lesson uses original diagrams and worked rupee examples, and none of it is a stock recommendation.
DBR — demand, reversal
RBR — demand, continuation
RBD — supply, reversal
DBD — supply, continuation
DBR and RBR create demand zones; RBD and DBD create supply zones. Reversal patterns change direction, continuation patterns resume it.
