Price Action Trading and The Reason Why The Pros Use It
Posted on March 22nd, 2009 in Forex Trading | No Comments »
I am a personal believer that price action is the one of, if not the single most overlooked method of trading, at the present time. If you need any proof all you need to do is look at this statistic: 95% of all traders are not making money.
Believe me when I tell you that I know how sad and depressing these kind of statistics are. But unfortunately, most traders don’t learn from their mistakes. In fact, I’d be willing to say that you are probably part of the 5%.
So how is it done? This is so easy, that I can’t believe more people don’t think of this. Why don’t you just do what the rich and successful do?
If you were to research this subject, one thing would be painfully obvious, and that is that the rich and successful trader rely very heavily on studying price action.
It goes without saying that not every single trader uses price action in the same manner. But I can tell you that most don’t use Stochastics to help them decide on a trade.
Who does use indicators? I don’t want to pick on them, but if you go on almost any forex forum, you’ll be stunned to see how many traders rely on indicator heavy systems. THEY DON’T EVEN LOOK AT THE PRICE! All that matters to them is what the indicators are showing. It should be becoming quite clear as to why 95% of the public fail at trading forex.
It’s so obvious that these people have basically been programmed into thinking that indicators are the only way to trade, so you can tell that using price action is the last thing on their minds.
I don’t know of another trading method which gives you such a pure and honest look at the market quite like price action. It allows you to see the behind the curtain and really get an X-ray of what the market has to offer.
