Price Action Trading

Base decisions primarily on price structure, levels and candle behaviour rather than a large indicator stack.

Risk first. Forex, CFDs, copy trading, signals and automated strategies can all lose money. Performance claims and backtests do not guarantee future results. Verify the legal entity, product availability and rules that apply in your country before funding an account.

When the strategy tends to make sense

When patterns are defined objectively enough to be repeated and reviewed.

When it tends to fail

Subjective pattern naming that changes after the result is known.

Testing checklist

  1. Define the market structure first.
  2. Mark decision levels before price reaches them.
  3. Write an objective trigger for entry.
  4. Record screenshots before and after the trade.
  5. Use a journal to test whether named patterns have real expectancy.
Key risk

“Price action” can become hindsight bias unless setup definitions are specific enough to test.
