Price Action Trading
Before we delve into price action trading features, have you ever pondered the meaning of price?
Market prices are more than just numbers and trajectories formed by their change.
Those flickering digits on the screen actually carry an enormous weight of information!
According to the renowned economist and Nobel laureate Milton Friedman, prices communicate with
society in three ways.
Prices transmit information, incentivize resource users to be guided by the price data, and encourage
the resource owners to follow such information.
Pretty complex, isn’t it?
The point is there’s a depth of insight into why the prices are where they are.
Notice that we mentioned resource users and owners – these smell like fundamentals.
You can’t really argue that price analysis is one thing and assessment of the real economy is another!
Although, it’s people who form prices, and we’re not so precise sometimes.
Considering all of the above, think about what price action trading really is.
Investors look at the “cold data,” place their bets, and form prices.
Then others look at how those bets impacted the price – its “action.”
By interpreting the price action, we can find quality trading opportunities.
So, let’s learn to interpret right!
