Price Action_1

Price Action is everything that price is doing on any trading instrument, being represented on a chart for a trader to see.

In very basic terms Price Action illustrates in a way that a trader can see exactly on a chart, what a certain pair did for a particular time frame. For example; the individual candlesticks or bars will show how high the pair went, how low the pair went and also the open and closing prices. Most charting platforms can produce candlesticks and bars for time frames varying from one minute to one month.

Another way to think about it is, Price Action is everything humans are doing and how they are trading, shown in a chart form.

This basic explanation of Price Action is not subjective. What I see on my chart is exactly what another trader will see on their chart, providing they are using the same charting equipment.

The next question is the important question. How can we use Price Action trading to profit? Humans are very habitual. Traders tend to do the same things and react the same way over and over again when presented with similar circumstances.

Although if the same two traders have the same charts they will see the same Price Action that does not mean the same two Traders will come to the same conclusion. In this way Price Action can be interpreted by the individual depending on how they understand different Price Action formations.

If you have watched the charts previously you may have noticed that the same patterns, most of the time, repeat themselves. This is once again because humans are habitual and react the same way given very similar circumstances.

So if we can notice these patterns and human trading habits in the markets, we can start to find a trading strategy and implement it, to make money off the other traders, while they carry out their normal trading patterns.

These patterns will continue repeating themselves as long as human’s trade. Like I said, humans are very habitual and most of the time they repeat themselves, over again given similar circumstances.

What is Needed to Trade Price Action?

Clean Charts

Price Action_1

Price Action is best seen and traded from clean charts. To trade Price Action we don’t need fancy indicators or anything at all except for a clean chart.  Many traders fall into the trap of thinking the more indicators they have on the charts the better chance they have of predicting where price will go. This is just plain wrong. Indicators just confuse what doesnt need to be a confusing process. Everything a trader needs to know can be seen from just the raw price chart. Take everything off your chart including ALL your indicators and rubbish and leave just your price. This all all you need to trade price action.
