So how exactly do we trade with price action? It really boils down to learning to trade P.A. setups or patterns from confluent levels in the market. Now, if that sounds new or confusing to you right now, sit tight and I will clarify it soon. First we need to cover a couple more things:
Just my opinion and based on my own studies and trading of price action on all timeframes over the past 10 or so years. Robust price action trading should work on all timeframes, not just the higher timeframes in my opinion.

You are incorrect on 2 points. It is incorrect to assume price action works the same on all timeframes. The lower the timeframe the less effective the signal is because of noise. If a signal takes a day to form it has more weight behind it, if a signal takes 5 minutes to form is has much less weight behind it. Does a pebble have the same impact on a pool of water as a boulder ? Think about that for a moment.It is incorrect to assume that daily charts mean you need a larger size trading account, you can solve this problem by reducing position size per trade (less contracts or fractional lots).
To be sincere, as a trader, price action gives me an edge over the market every time. And no other trading strategies I have ever seen comparable to the price action strategy. Therefore, any trader who really wants to make it big in this business has to learn this price action strategy wholeheartedly. I love it so much. Though the learning curve is long, but the end result is highly, incomparably and indisputably profitable.
Thanks for the clearer picture Nail! I have studied all available indicators in the trading scope and they confused me even more and have decided to go for price-action trade through my own conciense. Your affirmation in this strategy give me more confidence. I would like to learn more from you.
Understanding the mechanics of price action and developing a highly effective price action trading strategy has the potential to be highly profitable. In this article, we explore the techniques and indicators that will help in building this strategy.
Trading on price action involves analysing trending waves and pullback waves, also known as impulse and corrective waves. A trend makes progress when the trending waves are bigger than corrective waves.
Consider an uptrend that is making higher swing highs and lows. When it makes a lower swing low, this is a warning sign. If the price then makes a lower swing high as well, this means that a reversal is underway. This does not mean that things cannot go back the other way, allowing the uptrend to resume. The evidence simply indicates that a reversal is likely to happen. The below Tesla [TSLA] chart shows a price action reversal from uptrend to downtrend, and then back to an uptrend.
Price rejection is when the price tries to move through an important level, but then reverses direction because there is not enough force to maintain the trading momentum. Rejections often result in hard and fast moves in the opposite direction. Here is what to watch out for:
Below, arrows mark the engulfing patterns that signal potential trade entries on the Alcoa [AA] 1-minute chart. While this is one example of a scalping strategy, all the prior discussed strategies and concepts could be used for price action.
Other exit methods include using price action itself. If you enter a trade because a downtrend has started, stay in the trade until the trend reverses. Price action dictates when to get out by providing evidence that the price is turning. If entering at a supply area, consider exiting at demand. If entering near a demand area, consider exiting near supply.
Traders often wait for the price to move out of these areas during trends to help confirm trades. During an uptrend, traders will look to buy when the RSI moves below 30 and rallies above. During a downtrend, traders will look to short when the RSI moves above 70 and drops below. Other price action signals are typically used to confirm these signals.
A trader that is interested in trading a price action signal can watch for the stochastic to move through the signal line. If contemplating a long trade, they should wait for the price action signal and for the stochastic to move above the signal line. The stochastic provides similar information as the RSI on the crude oil chart.
Indicators may aid or help price action signals, but typically, the price action signal will come first. Awaiting confirmation from these lagging indicators may mean entering a trade later and missing out on profit, therefore, confirmation comes at a cost.
Price action can be studied through our online trading platform, Next Generation, where all of the above technical indicators are available. You can make use of our technical tools, including drawing and price projection tools, as well as our customisable charts.
You can practice these price analysis skills by registering for a demo account and trading with virtual funds, and when you are ready, you can switch to a live account to trade with real funds. It is advisable to focus on one strategy at a time and aim to learn it inside out. One solid strategy, traded well, has the potential to be highly profitable.
All profits and losses in trading are based on price. Price action traders focus on historical and current patterns to make money off where the price may head next. There have been many profitable price action traders, but it takes time to learn price action strategies, and spot trends, patterns, and reversals. 2ff7e9595c
