How to use it
Four questions.One clear process.
Bucko does not ask you to chase every label. Move through the chart in order: direction, location, proof, then risk.
Find the area
Look for Demand, Supply, FVG, Liquidity, or Rejection near the current price. Location gives the setup context.
Wait for proof
Watch for a reaction, BOS, or a confirmed LONG, SHORT, or REV label. A zone by itself is not an entry.
Plan the risk
Check Entry, Stop Loss, and Take Profit. Skip the setup if the risk is too large or the chart is unclear.
The Bucko Current
Start with the flow.
The ribbon around price gives you a fast read on direction. Use it as a filter, not as an entry button. Mixed colors can mean the market is choppy or changing direction.
Bullish flow
Green ribbonLook for bullish ideas near useful areas.
Bearish flow
Red ribbonLook for bearish ideas near useful areas.

The status box sums up direction, session, volume, and market mode so you can spot weak conditions faster.
The horizontal zones
Know what each area means.The chart explains itself.
The rectangles are price areas, not exact prices. Each label tells you why that part of the chart may matter.
Where buyers pushed back
A demand zone marks an area where price moved up with strength. If price comes back, watch how it reacts. The zone can hold, weaken, or fail.
Where sellers pushed back
A supply zone marks an area where price moved down with strength. It shows where sellers may respond if price returns.
Where price moved fast
FVG means Fair Value Gap. It is an imbalance left by a fast move. Traders watch for price to return, react, or move through it.
Levels many traders may see
Similar highs or lows can attract stops and breakout orders. Bucko marks likely liquidity areas. It does not read live order-book orders.
Where price was pushed away
A rejection area shows a strong response near an important level. It is evidence that the level mattered, not proof of the next move.
Where several clues meet
A key area brings more than one chart clue together. More agreement can make an area worth watching, but it is never a guarantee.
