Use it in 5 steps

  1. Switch it onOpen Charts → Basic Indicators → tick Supply & Demand Scorecard. Zones appear on the price chart with the scorecard top right.
  2. Read the gradeEach zone scores out of 8: A = 6–8, B = 4–5, C = 0–3. Only A and B are drawn. ✦ Fresh zones have not been retested yet.
  3. Wait for the reactionBUY appears when price dips into demand and a rising candle closes back above it within 5 candles. SELL mirrors it.
  4. Stop beyond the zonePut your stop loss just below a demand zone (above supply). A close through it breaks the zone. Check the R:R rows first.
  5. Trade with the trendThe header pill says ▲ Uptrend or ▼ Downtrend (200 EMA). Favour buys from demand in an uptrend, sells from supply in a downtrend.

The scorecard

The scorecard

  • Trend pill: ▲ Uptrend or ▼ Downtrend: price above or below the 200 EMA.
  • Nearest demand / supply: the closest zone each side, its grade, price range and % distance.
  • Long / Short R:R from price: reward to risk if you entered now, stop beyond the near zone, target the far one.
  • Last signal and ⚡ Sweep confluence: the latest of each and how many candles ago.
  • What this means: a plain-English read. Click the title bar to hide the panel.

Golden rules

  • A grade is a checklist, not a win rate. An A zone can still break.
  • Zones wear out. Each retest weakens a zone; after 3 retests it is retired.
  • Never skip the stop loss. Risk 1% of your account or less per trade.
  • Practise first with the Replay button: play old candles forward and watch zones being tested.
🔔 Get told when it fires: click Alerts (the bell), choose Supply & Demand Scorecard and tick “BUY reaction from a demand zone” and “SELL reaction from a supply zone”.
