What is Price Action?
Price Action (also known as PA) is a trading strategy that follows price movements. Simply put all your entry decisions will be based on the price chart (ie candlesticks).
The PA school is loved by many traders because of its simplicity. No need to be “complicated” with technical indicators or trading news. Just focus on the chart and the price movements. They will tell you the story of the market. From there, you will know what to do to make a profit.
My Price Action trading ideas
– Trend is the most important. The first question will be “What trend is the market in?”. Bullish (Uptrend), bearish (Downtrend), or sideways.
– Identify important supply and demand levels. I will call these the Key levels.
– Wait for the price to react at the Key level and create trading signals.
– Find the entry point to enter an order, the level of Stop Loss and Take Profit.
My trading style when it comes to Price Action is the above 4 steps. And in this series, I will only write and practice those 4 steps. For me, the decisive factors to make money in any market are psychology, capital management, discipline, and patience. As for knowledge, you just need to do the above 4 steps over and over again.
Why Price Action is popular?
“The market is always right.” You may have heard this saying before, let me repeat it once again “The market is always right”. So you and I, let’s focus on the price to listen to the story the market wants to tell.
Safe trend trading strategy
Price Action is a trend-following strategy to find safe entry points. To me, this is the biggest advantage of PA compared to other technical indicators.
People often say that fighting against the market trend is like stopping a train at its maximum speed. The result is your death without a doubt. Not going against the trend is the best way for you to survive in the market.
The pinnacle of simplicity
“The simpler the better.”
Trading is not about having many screens in front of you or putting in a variety of charts and technical indicators. Don’t try to chase after things that are complicated and confusing. They only make you tired and easily get caught up in the market’s trading vortex.
Let’s start with simplicity. Let your mind be light and calm.
Flexibility
Trading according to Price Action means trading based on price movement. Therefore, regardless of the market, you can use it for analysis and prediction. Coin, Oil, Gold, Forex… or stock, you can all have PA as a trading method.
Not only that, you can use PA to Scalping with M15, or Swing with D1 time frame… No matter what your trading style is, Price Action can be used flexibly.

Price Action trading examples
Although there is not an in-depth guide to Price Action, you should learn to observe the market to gradually become familiar with this strategy.
– SELL EUR/USD: 1.1815 (SL 30 pips, TP 90 pips) => R:R = 1:3 (1 part of risk for 3 parts of profit).
Reason for entry:
+ On the daily chart, EUR/USD is in a downtrend. The price has returned to the Supply level.
+ In the H4 chart, the main signal is the extremely strong bearish reversal red candlestick that I marked. So we have all 3 elements to enter a SELL order by Price Action: Downtrend, price retraces to the Supply level and creates a reversal candlestick signal.
– This GBP/JPY currency pair is entering the Supply level in the Downtrend. What I am waiting for is a bearish reversal signal (1 strong bearish candle, for example) to open a position.
