Combining zones with trend and multiple timeframes

The zone alone is half the picture; the other half is the overall trend and the position within the sequence of timeframes. The strongest trades are those that combine a good zone with a supportive trend.

The trend first

In the supply and demand approach the trend is read from the sequence of highs and lows: an uptrend is lows and highs each above the last, and a downtrend is highs and lows each below the last. We prefer demand zones in an uptrend, and supply zones in a downtrend.
