Ironically, beginners seek out complexity, and the more complex, the better. If it's esoteric, even better still. It can't possibly be any good if it's simple. After all, if it were simple, they'd have it already. And they would have it already if they were looking in the right place. But they are instead focused on the bright shiny objects being dangled up and off to the right rather than what is directly in front of them, in plain sight. And what is directly in front of them? Price. Unfortunately, no one today trades price, at least anyone who publishes, or even posts. If one wants to learn this, he must look back to Wyckoff and Livermore and, to some extent, Neil. Few do as this material is "old". However, it is also winning, just as much today as it has ever been.
Sorry, but what do you mean "no one today trades price"? You mean price and only price, without volumes, without graph? Because lots of people call "price action " 1 order flow trading 2 or trading with graphs but without indicators (Bob Vollman...) Could you enlight me please? CM
"at least anyone who publishes,..." Look in any business school around the world -- there are hundreds of thousands. Find one where they ignore volume. (Hint: you won't.)
This should answer all your questions. *click* But, for now, as for volume, as I've said, price can't exist without volume. Those who insist that it can don't understand what volume is, much less what it represents.
So how did you learn what you do? Seems soup to nuts is watching price action a long time. How can you or anyone else "give away that methodology" screen time to someone else?
