What is Price Action?

Recommended Posts

A lot of people have this question in mind, what exactly is PRICE ACTION.

And why is PRICE ACTION KING IN FOREX?

To answer the above question, i start off with talking about indicators.

There are tons of indicators out there, be it forex or others. They work mostly the same way.

And there are new indicators coming out every other day.

Alot of traders when they first started trading forex, they have tons on indicators on their charts. Trying different combination of which works best for them. And at the end of the day, they get confused all over as one indicator may be telling you to go long, but the other is telling you to go short.

Which will result in you making bad decisions and end up blowing your account with a frustrated mind.

Why does it happen this way? Indicators are derived from the chart movements. Some indicators react faster, some slower.

However, as they are derived from the chart movements. They are 1 step slower than the chart. Which is in fact Price Action!

Price Action leads the indicators, and when price reverses it movement from short to long (example). The indicator which you are watching is one step too late. And by the time the indicator confirms it is going short, Price Action has taken the market to go Long.

This happens most of time, if not all of the time.

Therefore = ALL INDICATORS ARE LAGGING INDICATORS!

PRICE ACTION IS WHAT LEADS THE INDICATORS, IT IS KING IN FOREX!

By understanding Price action in forex trading, we are able to understand the ENTIRE PICTURE of the market.

WHY is the market moving up,

WHAT causes it to stop moving,

WHY is the market reversing

WHY is the market in consolidation

IT is like reading a book once you have mastered price action in forex. And the best thing is, It is not difficult!

It is even easier than you reading an indicator.

And when you mastered price action, with combination of our system. You will almost be able to pick absolutely MARVELLOUS TRADES all the time. CONFLUENCE is the King of the game. This is what equates to our high probablity trades with a high winning ratio.

To an Awesome Trading as Always,

The price action is real, but the interpretation of it is just another story. Do your best to stick only with the action itself and make a choice.

I'm a new trader and here's what I've learned about Price action:

Price action to me is the action of the currency in the time frame being studied for a trade and all the implications and information that you can glean form your newbie and seasoned experience observations along with the following:

 

1. Try to avoid indicators because they lag and you'll become dependent on them

2. First learn Candlestick chart reading VERY well so you can see the trade set-up as it develops

3. If you want to use some simple indicator to see trend or MCAD Ok but not necessary - that's a personal thing

4. Nothing will replace sticking to one simple system until you have it nailed

 

Good trading

Wow, this is a real newbie bait thread. Clueless, incoherent talk about "price action" and dogging indicators from someone who can't even type in paragraphs (enters a new line for every sentence), much less who knows about how the indicators are calculated that he is calling useless. But I'll bet he can sell you a seminar or "system" which is much better! The only thing worse than a trading system vendor is a forex trading system vendor. Yeah, target the real newbies who don't even have enough money to open a futures or equities account.

Price action is studying and learning the motion of the waves of the market. Higher highs and lower lows, candlestick formations, major and minor market structure and order flow. Also, studying round numbers along with studying and learning high timeframe analysis is what price action is about seeing the bigger picture. It's the big picture, which tells what the smaller picture is.

 

Indicators are a separate family from price action. I dislike most indicators as they are complicated and conflict, however they are a few simple indicators when used with PA works well yes they all lag but even price action we are using historical data to determine a future event.

To my understand indicators the majority of them when they were designed years ago and concept by the authors they used the stock market as a blueprint and foundation for their calculations. Yes, global markets move similar in 5 waves, however alteration required to be made for each instrument.

 

I would advise only using 1 or at max 2 oscillators in trending markets only.

 

There is no need to over complicate things missing you points and trades while you figure out if ADX is crossing this or that line.

that's a very limited understanding...

    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
