Why price action?
Trading with the help of price action is one of the most effective methods to make profits. After all, different types of charts like bar chart, candlestick chart and others were invented first and that was a start of technical analysis.
Based on the price you can find key information about the current market situation and when to open a trade.
A common mistake for beginner traders is to focus on oscillators and ignore price (and yet the oscillators are created based on price!).
Problems with price action – how to spot a formation?
One of the biggest problems with price action is reading the charts and trying to notice the candlestick patterns. There are very obvious candlesticks like pin bars. However, there are many other candlestick patterns that are more difficult to notice like:
- engulfing patterns
- dark clouds
- piercing lines
- and many more
The second thing that makes it difficult to notice a particular price action is the usual routine of the day. Trader analyzes many instruments, switches between time frames. Analyses the situation on the charts, checks the trend lines, support and resistance levels etc. All of this makes it quite easy to overlook some very important price formations.
In such situations scripts like price pattern indicator are most useful.
How to learn how to trade with price action?
The best way to start is to buy book about price action. There are few classic titles which present each price action in detail and explain how to trade them.
The second step is to learn in practice. It’s best to clear the chart from all moving averages, oscillators and other indicators. Leave the chart clean and try to make trading decisions based on price.
As a help you can add candlestick pattern indicator. It will mark on the chart the most important price formations, which you’ll be able to analyze further.
