Important ideas in Price Action
Trend
Regardless of the trading college, the trend is good friend, which suggests: if the principal trend is a bullish trend, we invest in the alignment, on the contrary, if the principal trend is a bearish trend, we just have to promote.
There are 3 forms of trends in the marketplace:
– Bullish trend (bullish trend): the new higher is increased than the outdated, the new minimal is increased than the outdated.
– Downtrend (downtrend): the new higher is decrease than the outdated, the new minimal is decrease than the outdated.
– Lateral trend: the selling price does not generate sharp peaks and troughs as in the two prior instances.
Why are trends crucial?
The essence of the trade purchase is that you decide on sides (extended or quick, invest in or promote). The uptrend suggests longs dominate, obtaining electrical power outweighs promoting.
If you test to quick in an uptrend, you are basically striving to go towards the winning side. There will be occasions when you will capture the suitable higher and minimal of a trend. And you believe you can get wealthy this way. Perhaps this is why numerous folks like to trade towards the trend. Believe me, there is no strategy to enable identify the best and bottom of the marketplace. The best is just the best, the bottom is just the bottom when the selling price has stopped doing work for a incredibly extended time. Traders will not get wealthy by identifying highs and lows. The trader’s occupation is to determine the suitable trend, get the medium and continue to keep waiting. It is adequate to consume for a extended time amidst the trends, the revenue is previously incredibly fantastic.
So, normally go with the trend when feasible. Also note that: Price Action performs finest in the marketplace with a certain bullish or bearish trend, minimizing entry when the marketplace is sideways.
Key degree
As the identify suggests, essential amounts are crucial selling price zones in which we will observe the selling price response to make selections.
When you have established that the trend is bullish, you will appear at Long. However, in which Long has the highest win price and finest payout price (danger: reward)? It is in the essential amounts. The essential degree can also be understood as crucial locations of assistance and resistance.
How to identify the essential degree:
In an uptrend, the essential degree is the minimal foremost to the highest higher in that trend and, conversely, in a downtrend, the essential degree is the higher foremost to the lowest minimal of the trend.
Combine trend and essential degree
An uptrend will present indicators of breaking when the selling price breaks the essential degree and officially reverses when it produces a new minimal that is decrease than the outdated, a new minimal that is decrease than the outdated.
In the photograph, yesterday (calculated at the time of creating) BTC had an uptrend in the 15m frame. However, early this morning, the selling price broke by means of the essential degree, therefore making a downtrend (if opening by means of the 5m frame will see the higher and minimal extra obviously). Therefore, we can conclude that in the 15m frame, the trend has reversed from bullish to bearish.
Conversely, what comes about if the selling price meets the essential degree? At that second, the trend is even now an uptrend, you can execute a Long purchase (stoploss just beneath the essential degree). For illustration this situation:
First, the 1H bullish trend frame formed by a incredibly big bullish candle (huge boy). I established the degree of the essential (take out the final beard mainly because that candlestick is just a false breakout and sweep the stoploss).
Thereafter, the selling price returns to the essential degree. You can see that there are up to three bearded pin-bar candles when the selling price touches the essential degree region, exhibiting a rejection of more decline (rejection).
Subsequently, the selling price breaks out making a bullish candle. At that time, I entered the Long purchase, the stoploss was beneath the essential degree, the TP followed the R: R close to one: two and this was a winning purchase.
So, by means of the two examples over, I can summarize how to location the purchase primarily based on the trend and essential degree as follows:
- Identify the principal marketplace trend.
- Define the degree of the essential
- Wait for the selling price to react to the essential degree, if it breaks, continue to keep waiting, if it respects, then stick to the trend
- Measure the R: R ratio, if R: R> one: two to location the purchase.
finish

There will be numerous brothers who have completed studying and even now have numerous inquiries this kind of as: How to identify the accurate essential degree?
