What is price action?

Price action is the behavior of price of a specific currency, commodity, stock or other trading instrument over a specified period of time. Price action analysis is the study of specific price patterns that we see reoccurring in the markets. By learning what these price patterns, or price action strategies, look like and exactly how to trade them, we can develop a complete Forex trading strategy around them.

Price action analysis allows you to see exactly what is happening in any given market simply by studying the behavior of price over time. Price action is the visual trail of the supply and demand situation of a market and it reflects the expectations and beliefs of all market players; the bigger more informed players obviously leave a more noticeable trail, so by analyzing the behavior of price over a specified period of time we can make an educated guess as to what those “in the know” are doing in the markets.

As retail Forex traders, our goal is to jump aboard the price trail left by bigger players who have the power to move the market. By building our price action trading system around a few time tested and repetitive setups we give our selves the best shot at riding the momentum of the market to consistent profits. There are certain things that happen over and over in the markets as a function of their very nature.

Here is an example of pure price action trading in the GBPUSD with some of my favorite price action setups:

Simple trading strategies are best:

Price action trading provides you with a simple, straight forward, and most of all, effective method that allows you to focus your energy and time on actually trading instead of trying to figure out what numerous indicators or a piece of trading software is trying to tell you. There is simply no reason to add unnecessary variables to your trading like indicators or trading software when price action gives us the best trading strategy possible, without any mess or confusion.

In order to master the markets we need to root our trading methods in consistency. In fact, all of our trading activities need to be consistent if we want to be consistently profitable traders. Price action analysis gives you the know-how to recognize specific price patterns that happen over and over in the market. This gives you the key to consistency that so many traders desire yet so few ever attain.

Excellence in any profession is most often accompanied by great training and mentoring. To learn consistently profitable price action trading strategies you should learn from someone who trades with the exact same methods they teach. So get yourself a sold education in price action trading strategies and I promise that you will be well on the path to trading consistently.
