Trend

Supply and Demand Bands

  • More than 30 rules are used to find supply and demand bands. 

  • Band Origin showing the pattern that created the band will be marked

  • Supply bands are marked with a dot- dash pattern while demand bands are marked with solid lines so they are easy to tell apart
