Why Price Action?
To make you a consistently profitable trader.
The study of price action gives a trader the ability to analyze the markets with respect to the changes in prices in the recent past. This study helps a trader understand the market structure and identify key demand and supply areas from where any further movement in the price might be speculated with higher probabilities.
The study of price action is not a strategy on its own. It is rather a way of having an understanding of the current market scenario and chooses the correct strategy that would suit it. There are thousands of strategies that have been successfully backtested, but the only way to know the right time to use them is a skill that understanding price action will help you develop.
Furthermore, it is imperative to understand that skill is only 10% of trading success. The other 90% is dependent on money management and trading psychology. Price action will help you identify whether you are an aggressive or a conservative trader as you become more aware of the different levels of risk during trade entries and help you follow effectively profitable money management systems.
