Supply & Demand Retest Strategy
Enter on retests of fresh supply or demand zones after an impulse move. Filter with HTF bias and minimum displacement before the zone forms.
What is Supply & Demand Retest?
Identify zones where price impulsively left (minImpulse over zoneLookback bars), then enter on retestBars confirmation when price returns to the zone edge. htfBias aligns with higher-timeframe trend or structure. Stops beyond the zone; targets at opposing zone or measured move. VaultCharts supports zone marking via structure and pattern tools — no built-in S&D retest script; document setups in trade plans and journal.
