Traders use the price action strategy to make decisions about their trades based on the price movements instead of using indicators. Traders basically follow the movements of the prices and trade according to it.
Open up a chart...remove all the indicators and the only thing you see are just intervals. Another type of price action trading is for traders that makes their trade decision from the data shown in their DOM (price ladders, market depth, etc). Regardless to the above, probably hundred's of different ways (sub-groups) to trade as a price action trader within the above. wrbtrader
PRICE ACTION “Now, 2 patterns of market behavior happen on a regular basis: 1) the price breaks to new high's (or low's) 2) the price reverses from new high's (or low's) They happen regardless of time frame. They are phenomena that can be exploited without the fear if found out by others, that they might cease to exist.” - H. Rearden 1) Price will either breakout of the high, low or both of the previous bar 2) Price will not breakout of the previous bar. 3) Price will either close above a level (line) or not. You cannot reduce it any further. Anything else complicates the issue.
