How To Trade Price Action

[Guest johnsmith00710]

 

If you want to become a successful trader, you should immerse yourself completely in the subject in order to find your edge. In case, you are already a winning trader than you should know exactly what your edge is.

Even the advanced traders find it difficult to interpret and trade the sharp moves often seen in the forex markets. Learning to read and interpret price action can be a huge advantage for you.

When the market is in a steep decline, one should be careful to measure the reaction of the longs. You must try to know and understand if the move has the chance to turn into a rout.

You should look at the reaction of the longs as soon as the rate begins to go south, this way you will be able to determine if the market is sitting on a large number of long positions and whether traders want to dump their positions. In case of a spike followed by a sharp V recovery, you should avoid shorting the pair.

More buyers entering the market at lower levels tells you that the market is not heavily long and traders are seeing it as an opportunity to buy low. These lower prices mean bargain prices for you if you wish to accumulate long positions.

Moving averages (MAs) are one of the oldest, true and tested indicators. The most widely used moving averages are the 50, 100 and 200 day MAs.

Moving averages are essentially lagging indicators and relate to the past price action. MAs can be used effectively in intra day trading for entering and exiting positions in one way markets.

During times of sharp price moves, it becomes difficult for the traders to enter a position as retracements are far and few. This makes most of the traders confused and forces them to start taking arbitrary decisions.

MAs can be used as dynamic resistance levels in such situations. This can give better results than the static support/resistance levels used by majority of the traders.

The advantages of using MAs this way gives you dynamic levels to trade off and gauge price action. MAs can help you avoid using arbitrary levels when you should take profit.

Foreign exchange is the simultaneous buying of one currency and selling of another. In other words, the currency of one country is exchanged for that of another. I trade in this currency market with Bprimes. The currencies of the world are on a floating exchange rate, and are always traded in pairs. For an example, Euro/Dollar, Dollar/Yen, etc. In excess of 85 percent of all daily transactions involve the trading of the major currencies US dollar, British pound, Euro, Swiss Franc, Japanese Yen, Canadian Dollar and Australian Dollar.

Although MA is quite good indicator, I don’t think that it can be treated separately from some other indicators in predicting the market move. Can we get some more information regarding set algorithm behind Trading Robot? I mean, 1500 pips in 1 day sounds too good to be true

The trader must also be able to get information that the sabi has an influence on the trading activities that are being carried out, this is needed so that the trader can be more leverage in generating profits on the real account.
