The course focuses on teaching the concept of supply and demand in trading, including how to identify and trade supply and demand zones, and the instructor's personal strategies for successful trading.

What does the instructor define as 'supply and demand' in the context of trading?

In the context of trading, 'supply and demand' refers to aggressive selling and buying, indicating the presence of significant market players like big banks and institutions influencing the market direction.

Why does the instructor emphasize not skipping through the video?

The instructor emphasizes not skipping through the video because it is designed to progressively build the viewer's understanding of supply and demand, and to ensure they grasp the strategies necessary for successful trading.

What is the significance of 'momentum candles' in identifying supply and demand zones?

Momentum candles, especially when they appear in a sequence, indicate aggressive buying or selling, which is a sign of the 'big boys' or significant market players entering the market. This is a key indicator for identifying supply and demand zones.

Why should traders pay attention to 'big boys' or market institutions in the market?

Traders should pay attention to 'big boys' or market institutions because they have the financial power to significantly move the market. Trading in the direction of these large players can potentially lead to more profitable trades.

What is the minimum number of momentum candles required to identify a supply or demand zone?

The minimum number of momentum candles required to identify a supply or demand zone is three in a row.

How does the instructor suggest identifying the start of a move for supply and demand zones?

The instructor suggests identifying the start of a move by looking at the previous candle before the current sequence of momentum candles and using the high and low of that previous candle to mark the supply or demand zone.

What is the importance of consolidation in identifying supply and demand zones?

Consolidation, where the price moves sideways, can be used to identify supply and demand zones. Drawing a box around the consolidation area can help predict future price behavior when it interacts with this area.

What does the instructor mean by 'weeks' in the context of supply and demand zones?

'Weeks' in this context refers to 'wicks' or the small tails at the end of a candlestick, indicating price rejection at that level. Multiple long wicks can signify a strong supply or demand zone.

How should traders approach entering a trade after identifying a supply or demand zone?

Traders should wait for the price to retest the identified supply or demand zone and look for confirmation, such as a bullish or bearish signal, before entering a trade to ensure the zone's validity and increase the likelihood of a profitable trade.

What additional technical analysis tool does the instructor mention using alongside supply and demand zones?

The instructor mentions using the Fibonacci retracement tool to provide additional confirmation for trades, especially when the retracement levels align with identified supply and demand zones.

What is the instructor's approach to risk management when multiple confirmations align, such as a Fibonacci retracement level coinciding with a supply or demand zone?

When multiple confirmations align, such as a Fibonacci retracement level coinciding with a supply or demand zone, the instructor is willing to risk more than the usual one percent per trade, possibly up to two percent, due to increased confidence in the trade setup.
