Action Trading?<\/h2>\n<p>Price action trading in the UK is a style of trading that uses at an asset\u2019s recent price movements to determine where it\u2019s headed. A price action trading system will typically look at a price pattern and, based on that pattern, make a determination about what the asset price will do next.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-7847 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/Trading_Price_Action_Breakouts_body_Picture_2-300x170.png\" alt=\"Price action trading UK example\" width=\"300\" height=\"170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/Trading_Price_Action_Breakouts_body_Picture_2-300x170.png 300w, https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/Trading_Price_Action_Breakouts_body_Picture_2.png 623w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>What\u2019s unique about price action trading strategies is that they use price almost exclusively. There is no consideration of fundamental data (such as the book value of a stock) and little consideration of technical indicators that are derived from price action. This is in contrast to most technical <a href=\"https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/trading\/day\">day trading<\/a>, which relies heavily on indicators.<\/p>\n<p>The main factors that price action trading systems consider, then, are price, volume, and the velocity of price changes. These reflect the aggressiveness of buying and selling action, which can provide insight into whether a price movement will continue or fade away.<\/p>\n<p>Importantly, UK price action trading is relatively subjective. It\u2019s possible for two traders to look at the same price chart and interpret in two different ways. This means that traders have plenty of opportunity to craft a custom price action trading strategy.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what_assets_are_more_suited_to_price_action_trading\">What Assets are More Suited to Price Action Trading?<\/h2>\n<p>A price action trading system can be used to trade just about any asset. However, this style of <a href=\"https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/trading\">trading<\/a> is more suited to assets that have high liquidity and relatively volatility. The more price movements an asset experiences, the better it will be for a price action trading in the UK.<\/p>\n<p>That means that many of the most widely traded assets are ideal for trading with price action. Price action forex trading is particularly popular since forex pairs typically trade with very high liquidity.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/trading\/stock\">Stock trading in the UK<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/trading\/commodity\">commodity trading<\/a> can also be done using a price action trading system, although it\u2019s important to keep in mind that the prices of these assets may be more affected by market news. You will want to be careful if using a price action trading system for <a href=\"https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/trading\/etf\">ETF trading<\/a>, since some ETFs trade with low liquidity.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"price_action_trading_strategies\">Price Action Trading Strategies<\/h2>\n<p>One of the neat things about UK price action trading is that there is an infinite number of trading strategies you can use. Price action trading strategies are often highly personalized and based on traders\u2019 own experiences and tweaks.<\/p>\n<p>In general, it\u2019s a good idea to have several price action trading strategies in your arsenal. That way, you can more quickly find potential setups in any market conditions. With just a single trading strategy, it\u2019s possible that you won\u2019t find enough trading opportunities to make your price action trading system worthwhile.<\/p>\n<p>To help you get started, let\u2019s take a look at several popular price action trading strategies:<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"bull_flag_breakout\">Bull Flag Breakout<\/h3>\n<p>The bull flag is a popular price action forex trading strategy in part because it\u2019s simple to interpret. The setup consists of a strong upward price movement, which constitutes the flag pole, followed by a choppy sideways or slightly downtrending price movement, which constitutes the flag.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7840\" src=\"https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/Bull-Flag-Pattern-300x160.jpg\" alt=\"Bull Flag Trading pattern\" width=\"1000\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/Bull-Flag-Pattern-300x160.jpg 300w, https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/Bull-Flag-Pattern-1024x547.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/Bull-Flag-Pattern-768x410.jpg 768w, https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/Bull-Flag-Pattern-1536x820.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/Bull-Flag-Pattern.jpg 1765w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>At the end of a flag, a bullish breakout may or may not develop \u2013 it\u2019s up to you to determine, based on trading volume and the quality of the pattern, whether that will happen. If a breakout does happen, the price will move sharply above the top of the flag and continue up. The breakout typically continues upward for the length of the flag pole, offering a profit target for your trade.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"engulfing_candlestick_pattern\">Engulfing Candlestick Pattern<\/h3>\n<p>The engulfing candlestick pattern is another popular price action trading system derived from looking at candlestick price charts. A candlestick \u2018engulfs\u2019 the candlestick before it when the body of the second candlestick extends beyond both wicks of the first candlestick.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7839\" src=\"https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/Engulfing-Candlestick-300x195.png\" alt=\"Engulfing Candlestick pattern\" width=\"1000\" height=\"649\" srcset=\"https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/Engulfing-Candlestick-300x195.png 300w, https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/Engulfing-Candlestick-768x498.png 768w, https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/Engulfing-Candlestick.png 919w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In a bullish pattern, an engulfing candlestick pattern occurs when the price gaps lower at the interval open before moving sharply higher. If this happens on strong trading volume, it indicates significant buying pressure for the asset.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"hammer_candlestick_pattern\">Hammer Candlestick Pattern<\/h3>\n<p>A hammer price action trading system also relies on candlestick charts. A hammer candlestick forms when the open and close price of an interval are relatively close in price, but the candlestick\u2019s wick is very long. The resulting candlestick looks like a mallet or hammer.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7838\" src=\"https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/Hammer-Candlestick-300x180.png\" alt=\"Hammer Candlestick pattern\" width=\"1000\" height=\"601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/Hammer-Candlestick-300x180.png 300w, https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/Hammer-Candlestick.png 680w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In a bullish scenario, a hammer candlestick\u2019s wick will stick out far below the body of the candlestick (the hammer head). That indicates that quite a bit of selling action happened during the trading interval, but that it ultimately could not be sustained and bulls won out by the end of the interval. This type of pattern suggests that bulls will continue to dominate price action, so the asset\u2019s price will rise over the next several trading intervals.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"range-based_trading\">Range-based Trading<\/h3>\n<p>Range-based trading is particularly useful for price action forex trading, since currency pairs often trade in ranges. A range forms when the price of an asset bounces between a floor and ceiling repeatedly. As a price action trader, you can either trade those bounces inside the range or wait for an opportunity to trade a breakout from the range. Often, these breakouts can be significant and may be signaled by a bullish candlestick pattern.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7198\" src=\"https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Range-Trading-300x143.png\" alt=\"Range Trading\" width=\"1000\" height=\"476\" srcset=\"https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Range-Trading-300x143.png 300w, https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Range-Trading.png 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"benefits_of_price_action_trading_uk\">Benefits of Price Action Trading UK<\/h2>\n<p>Price action trading in the UK offers some worthwhile benefits over other types of trading, like <a href=\"https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/trading\/scalping\">scalping trading<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/trading\/algorithmic\">algorithmic trading<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>First and foremost, trading with price action is flexible. You can deploy multiple trading strategies to fit different market conditions or to look more broadly for trading opportunities. When you do a spot a setup, there is plenty of room for interpretation about whether the setup is worthwhile. This flexibility works well for traders who want to tightly control risk in some situations, but are more willing to take risks when the potential payoff is high.<\/p>\n<p>Another benefit to price action trading is that since you\u2019re using price rather than technical indicators, you\u2019re at the leading edge of the market. Most technical indicators are derived from price data, so they necessarily lag price changes by several trading intervals.<\/p>\n<p>By trading on price directly, you\u2019re taking in the latest available information and making decisions about entry and exit points in real time. In many cases, this means that the entry and exit points from UK price action trading are more favourable compared to those derived from trading with indicators.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"price_action_trading_risks\">Price Action Trading Risks<\/h3>\n<p>The downside to price action trading is that it can be riskier than other types of trading. As for any type of trading, price action trades can go against you.<\/p>\n<p>The subjective nature of this type of trading means that it is easily possible to misinterpret a pattern or setup. When that happens, you might lose money on your trade. Some people include stop loss levels as part of every trade so that a potential loss from a trade is controlled.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, trading psychology plays a heavy role in price action trading. One of the main reasons to use technical indicators is that they provide clear signals and remove the emotion and subjectivity from trading decisions. Price action trading, on the other hand, relies on gut feelings to some extent since no two setups are the same. While this can work well, it also makes it easier to get lured into bad trades.<\/p>\n<p>Another thing to consider about price action trading in the UK is that it doesn\u2019t lend itself to automation or the use of trading signals. This type of trading requires paying close attention to the market and taking a very disciplined, hands-on approach to every trade.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"price_action_trading_platforms\">Price Action Trading Platforms<\/h2>\n<p>The trading platform you choose for price action trading will have a big impact on your success. Your trading platform must offer advanced price charts and drawing tools so you can quickly identify setups. Better yet, the ability to trade directly from a chart can help you enter orders faster and stay ahead of the market.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also important to keep in mind that your choice of broker will determine what assets you can trade and how much you\u2019ll pay for each trade. Some trading platforms offer high leverage so you can place bigger bets, while others focus on trader education or customizability.<\/p>\n<p>With all that in mind, let\u2019s take a look at some popular trading platforms for price action trading in the UK:<\/p>\n                    \n                    <div class=\"inContentProviderStatic inContentColor--learnbonds fc-row\">\n                        <div class=\"inContentProviderStatic--wrapper\">\n                            <div class=\"container p-0\">\n                                <div class=\"row mb-lg-3 inContentProviderStatic--headerRow\">\n                                    <div class=\"col-12\">\n                                        <h3 class=\"inContentProviderStatic--title\"><strong>Plus500<\/strong><\/h3>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                <\/div><!--\/.row-->\n                                <div class=\"row mb-3 pt-sm-3 pt-md-3 pt-lg-0\">\n                                    <div class=\"col-12 col-sm-8 col-lg-9\">\n                                        <div class=\"inContentProviderStatic--descriptions\">\n                                            <p>\n<\/p><p class=\"paragraph-text-0\">Plus500 is one of the most cost-effective CFD brokers in the UK for price action trading. This platform charges no commissions and has some of the lowest spreads we\u2019ve seen in the industry. You get access to a wide range of assets, including stocks, forex, commodities, and cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text-0\">Better yet, Plus500 offers high leverage to allow you to get more out of your trades. You can trade CFDs for major forex pairs at up to 300:1, and many share CFDs trade at 10:1. That\u2019s huge if you only want to commit a small amount of money to price action trading.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text-0\">We also like Plus500\u2019s proprietary trading platform. It\u2019s easy to use and includes dozens of drawing tools that you can use to annotate your charts. Plus, you get access to price alerts that can be pushed to your phone through the Plus500 mobile investment app (Find out more about some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/investment-apps\">investment apps in the UK<\/a>. The only thing we found ourselves wishing for was the ability to place trades using these chart annotations. Instead, you have to open an order form to place a trade \u2013 which slows down time-sensitive trades by a few seconds.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"paragraph-image-0\"><\/p>\n                                        <\/div><!--\/.descriptions-->\n                                    <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"col-12 col-sm-4 col-lg-3 order-first order-md-2\">\n                                        <div class=\"inContentProviderStatic--rating\">\n                                            <div class=\"rating--holder\">\n                                                <p class=\"rating--text\">Our Rating<\/p>\n                                                <div class=\"rating--star-container\">\n                                                    <div class=\"rating--star\" style=\"width: 90%;\"><\/div>\n                                                <\/div>\n                                            <\/div>\n                                        <\/div><!--\/.rating-->\n\n                                        <div class=\"inContentProviderStatic--provider-logo mt-2\">\n                                            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"float-md-right\" src=\"https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/03\/plus500-demo-account.png\" alt=\"UK Trading\">\n                                        <\/div><!--\/.logo-->\n                                    <\/div>\n                                <\/div><!--\/.row-->\n                                <div class=\"row\">\n                                    <div class=\"col-12 col-md-6\">\n                                        <div class=\"inContentProviderStatic--pros\">\n                                            <ul class=\"inContentProviderStatic--pros-list\">\n                                                                                                                                                                                            <\/ul>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"col-12 col-md-6\">\n                                        <div class=\"inContentProviderStatic--cons\">\n                                            <ul class=\"inContentProviderStatic--cons-list\">\n                                                                                                                                                                                            <\/ul>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                <\/div><!--\/.row-->\n                                <div class=\"row mt-3\">\n                                    <div class=\"col-12 col-md-12 text-center text-sm-left\">\n                                        <div class=\"inContentProviderStatic--button\">\n                                                                                        <a href=\"https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/visit\/plus500\" title=\"Start Trading\" rel=\"sponsored\" data-relfix=\"1\">Visit Plus500<\/a>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                        <div class=\"inContentProviderStatic--disclaimerText\">\n                                            80.5% of investors lose money when trading CFDs.

Unfortunately, IG can still be somewhat expensive for high frequency trading since its spreads are higher than most other online brokers.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"paragraph-image-0\"><\/p>\n                                        <\/div><!--\/.descriptions-->\n                                    <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"col-12 col-sm-4 col-lg-3 order-first order-md-2\">\n                                        <div class=\"inContentProviderStatic--rating\">\n                                            <div class=\"rating--holder\">\n                                                <p class=\"rating--text\"><\/p>\n                                                <div class=\"rating--star-container\">\n                                                    <div class=\"rating--star\" style=\"width: 80%;\"><\/div>\n                                                <\/div>\n                                            <\/div>\n                                        <\/div><!--\/.rating-->\n\n                                        <div class=\"inContentProviderStatic--provider-logo mt-2\">\n                                            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"float-md-right\" src=\"https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/12\/ig-logo-1.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n                                        <\/div><!--\/.logo-->\n                                    <\/div>\n                                <\/div><!--\/.row-->\n                                <div class=\"row\">\n                                    <div class=\"col-12 col-md-6\">\n                                        <div class=\"inContentProviderStatic--pros\">\n                                            <ul class=\"inContentProviderStatic--pros-list\">\n                                                                                                                                                                                            <\/ul>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"col-12 col-md-6\">\n                                        <div class=\"inContentProviderStatic--cons\">\n                                            <ul class=\"inContentProviderStatic--cons-list\">\n                                                                                                                                                                                            <\/ul>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                <\/div><!--\/.row-->\n                                <div class=\"row mt-3\">\n                                    <div class=\"col-12 col-md-12 text-center text-sm-left\">\n                                        <div class=\"inContentProviderStatic--button\">\n                                                                                        <a href=\"https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/visit\/ig\" title=\"Start Trading\" rel=\"sponsored\" data-relfix=\"1\">Visit IG<\/a>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                        <div class=\"inContentProviderStatic--disclaimerText\">\n                                            There is no guarantee you will make money with this provider.

Better yet, AvaTrade lets you take advantage of high leverage for your trades \u2013 up to 30:1 for major forex pairs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text-0\">What really sets AvaTrade apart, though, is that it has a trading platform dedicated specifically to <a href=\"https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/trading\/options\">options trading<\/a>. You can easily sort through more than a dozen options trading strategies for any asset and customize the parameters to change your risk and potential profit. The AvaOptions platform is available on mobile, too, making it easy to take your trading on the go.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text-0\">For CFD trading, AvaTrade gives you access to both MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5.

We\u2019ll show you how to get started, which offers trading on a wide variety of assets and a vibrant social trading network.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 1: Open a Price Action Trading Account<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To open a new price action trading account, head to the broker\u2019s homepage and click \u2018Join Now\u2019. Create a new username and password, then enter personal details like your name and email address.<\/p>\n<p>Brokers egulated by the UK\u2019s Financial Conduct Authority require that you verify your identity to start trading. You can verify your identity online by uploading a copy of your passport or driver\u2019s license and a copy of a bank statement or utility bill.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 2: Fund Your Trading Account<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You can make a deposit by debit or credit card, using an e-wallet like Neteller or Skrill, or through a bank or wire transfer. Just keep in mind that you must deposit at least \u00a3140 when you first open your account.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 3: Place Your First Price Action Trade<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now you\u2019re ready to start price action trading. You\u2019ll need to find a potential setup to trade.. Just click on or search for any asset and go to the \u2018Chart\u2019 tab.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve found a trading opportunity, click the \u2018Trade\u2019 button at the top of the asset\u2019s page to open a new order form. Enter how much money you want to trade and how much leverage you want to apply to your trade. You can also enter a stop loss or take profit price according to your price action trading strategy.<\/p>\n<p>When your order is ready, click \u2018Trade\u2019 to complete your first UK price action trade.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>Price action trading in the UK is an exciting way to trade that offers more flexibility than other styles of trading. Instead of relying on technical indicators, price action traders look directly to price movements to predict where an asset\u2019s value is headed next. Price action trading systems can be highly dynamic, but it\u2019s important to always keep one eye on risk when using this style of trading.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"faqs\">FAQs<\/h2>\n<div class='man_faq_sec' itemscope itemtype='https:\/\/schema.org\/FAQPage'> <\/time><time itemprop=\"dateModified\" datetime=\"2020-06-11 11:16:21\"><\/time><script>jQuery(document).ready(function() {\r\n\t\t\tjQuery('.accordionButton').on('click', function() {\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\/\/REMOVE THE ON CLASS FROM ALL BUTTONS\r\n\t\t\t\tjQuery('.accordionButton').removeClass('on');\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\/\/NO MATTER WHAT WE CLOSE ALL OPEN SLIDES\r\n\t\t\t\tjQuery('.accordionContent').slideUp('normal');\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\/\/IF THE NEXT SLIDE WASN'T OPEN THEN OPEN IT\r\n\t\t\t\tif(jQuery(this).closest('.ms_faq').find('.accordionContent').is(':hidden') == true) {\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\/\/ADD THE ON CLASS TO THE BUTTON\r\n\t\t\t\t\tjQuery(this).closest('.ms_faq').find('.accordionButton').addClass('on');\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\/\/OPEN THE SLIDE\r\n\t\t\t\t\tjQuery(this).closest('.ms_faq').find('.accordionContent').slideDown('normal');\r\n\t\t\t\t} \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t});\r\n\t\t\t});\r\n\t\t\t<\/script><section class=\"ms_faq ms_card \" ><div itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"><div class=\"accordionButton\"><h3 itemprop=\"name\">What is the price action equation?<\/h3> <\/div>\n<div class=\"accordionContent\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" style=\"display:none;\"><p itemprop=\"text\">The Price Action Trading Equation is a trading method created by UK trader Julie Hatch.

Many price action trading strategies use candlestick charts to spot patterns.<\/p>\r\n                <\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class=\"ms_faq ms_card \" ><div itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"><div class=\"accordionButton\"><h3 itemprop=\"name\">Can I use price action trading to trade options?<\/h3> <\/div>\n<div class=\"accordionContent\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" style=\"display:none;\"><p itemprop=\"text\">Yes, but it\u2019s important to focus on price action in the underlying asset rather than the options contract for that asset.

That\u2019s because every trade setup is slightly different, and price action trading relies on the judgement and interpretation of the trader rather than on a specific set of conditions.<\/p>\r\n                <\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class=\"ms_faq ms_card \" ><div itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"><div class=\"accordionButton\"><h3 itemprop=\"name\">Should I use technical indicators when price action trading?<\/h3> <\/div>\n<div class=\"accordionContent\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" style=\"display:none;\"><p itemprop=\"text\">You can use technical indicators when price action trading, but many traders do not. The problem with technical indicators is that they typically lag price movements, so they may not reflect the leading edge of the market. Technical indicators can provide extra data points for making trading decisions, but they shouldn\u2019t be the basis for a price action trade.<\/p>\r\n                <\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Price action trading is a fast-paced method of trading used by many day traders and swing traders.
