G PRICE ACTION
FOREX TRADING PROGRAM
LESSON: UNDERSTANDING PRICE ACTION
• Price action is the study and analysis of the historical and current
movements and patterns of a financial instrument's price, without
relying on fundamental factors.
• Price action is the study and analysis of the historical and current
movements and patterns of a financial instrument's price, without
relying on fundamental factors.
• Price action traders believe that by studying these price patterns, they
can predict the most likely future direction of the market, regardless of
the fundamental reasons behind the price movements.
PRICE AND CHARTS
What is price?
• Price is value given to a particular instrument usually value is
dependent on supply and demand.
What is price?
• Price is value given to a particular instrument usually value is
dependent on supply and demand.
• If the market is going up, what does that tell you about the demand and
supply then? It means there’s a lot of demand for that instrument.
• what if the market is going down then what does that tell you about the
demand and supply then? There’s a less demand and lots of supply.
• So the price of something today at this time will not be the same
tomorrow or in a month orin a year. Supply and demand over time
drives up and down the price.
PRICE AND CHARTS
• The stick represents the price movement during a certain time period,
like a day or an hour. The top of the stick is the highest price reached
during that time, and the bottom of the stick is the lowest price
reached.
• A candlestick chart…is like the same with the bar chart but adding
body to it (we will discuess about this in detail because we are going to
use them every day).
PRICE AND CHARTS
• The line chart is one of the least favourite of charts for trading. A line
chart is simply drawn by connecting either the closing, high or low
price and that’s how you get the line on a chart.
• Line charts can be useful for looking at the “bigger picture” and finding
long term trends but they simply cannot offer up the kind of information
contained in a candlesticks chart.
PRICE AND CHARTS
• The colour of the candlestick chart tells you if price was up or down in
a particular timeframe which means that candlesticks are either bullish
or bearish candlesticks this is not always the case u can custmize it
but at first to help you understand just leave it like that.
PRICE AND CHARTS
• The candle body represents the distance price has moved from the
opening price to the closing price. The longer the body, means price
has moved a great deal upward after opening. The shorter the candle
body means the exact opposite.
• The high is the highest price that was reached during that time period.
• The low is the lowest price that was reached during that time period.
PRICE AND CHARTS
• Candle Body: Represents the distance the price moved from open to
close. A longer body indicates a larger downward price movement.
• The concept of buying and selling pressure and how it can make a
seemingly bullish candlestick bearish, or a bearish candlestick bullish
is really important to understand the true story behind each
candlestick.
• A long bullish body means the bulls overpowered the bears, driving the
price up.
PRICE AND CHARTS
• If the upper shadow (wick) is long, it shows that the bears fought back
hard, making the candlestick bearish despite its bullish appearance.
• A long bearish body means the bears dominated, driving the price
down.
• If the lower shadow is long, it shows the bulls fought back, making the
candlestick bullish despite its bearish appearance.
• The key is to look beyond the body color and size and analyze the
shadows to understand the true balance of power between buyers and
sellers.

1. UPTREND
⚬ An uptrend is when the price of a currency pair is making higher
highs and higher lows over time.

TRENDS
a. Higher Highs (HH): The price of the currency pair or asset is making
successive higher highs, where each new high is higher than the
previous one.
b. Higher Lows (HL): The price is also making higher lows, where each
new low is higher than the previous low. This creates a stair-step
pattern of higher highs and higher lows.

• Support levels are areas on the chart where buyers tend to step in and
prevent the price from falling further. When the price approaches a key
support level and then reverses, this can signal a potential reversal of
the downtrend.

MAJOR AREAS FOR PRICE REVERSALS
Now, in here, I talk about 3 types of support and resistance levels and they
are:
• The normal horizontal support and resistance levels.

MAJOR AREAS FOR PRICE REVERSALS
• Find 5-10 different currency pairs screenshot selecting area you want
to determine and draw support and resistance on and determine
whether they are uptrend, downtrend, or ranging.
• For each chart, carefully examine the price movements and identify the
support and resistance type that capture the overall direction of the
price trend.

• The key in our approach is finding liquidity and understanding how the
smart money moves. The institutional traders don't rely on simplistic
chart patterns, but rather use those patterns against the masses.

• For now, just understand that candlestick patterns and chart patterns
exist, and traders sometimes use them to try and forecast the market.
But we'll cover our own unique approach that doesn't involve these
types of pattern recognition techniques.

• We'll explore our unique trading methodology in-depth in the coming
lessons. The focus will be on identifying and capitalizing on the flows of
smart money, rather than trying to interpret chart patterns.

guide traders in making informed decisions about market trends and
potential future price movements

• Candlestick patterns are another powerful tool that traders use to
analyze market trends and make informed trading decisions.
These are the 9 chart patterns you will learn about today:
1. Triangle chart patterns-symmetrical, ascending and descending (3
patterns)
2. Head and shoulders and Inverse Head and Shoulders (2 patterns)

ASSIGNMENT 2.3
• For this assignment, spend 30-45 minutes reviewing real price charts
and identifying 3-5 different candlestick patterns that you observe.
INTRODUCTION TO INDICATORS
• Indicators are tools that traders use to analyze price movements and
market trends. They take the raw price data and transform it into
different visual representations, like lines, signals, or other graphics on
a chart.
• However, the reality is that many traders end up getting overly complex
with their use of indicators. They'll load up their charts with dozens of
different lines, signals, and oscillators, thinking that more information
will lead to better results.
• The big banks and institutional traders don't rely heavily on these
complex indicator setups. In fact, they often use them against smaller
traders to trigger stop losses and hunt for liquidity. Keeping your charts
clean and simple can help avoid falling into these traps.
• So while indicators can be useful, it's important not to get carried away
with using too many at once. Simplicity is often the key to consistent
trading success. Focus on mastering a few core technical tools, rather
than trying to process a complex web of signals and lines.
ASSIGNMENT 2.5
• Define and explain one technical indicator that you find useful in
your trading.
• Explain why you find this particular indicator helpful in your trading
approach.
• Share an example chart demonstrating how you would use this
indicator in a real trading scenario.

DEFINING
DUMB MONEY
FOREX TRADING PROGRAM
LESSON: DEFINING "DUMB MONEY" AND ITS CHARACTERISTICS IN THE FOREX MARKET
• The idea is that price action in the markets represents the collective
behavior and sentiment of all the participants.
• The theory is that you can identify repetitive patterns in the way traders
think and react, and then use that to predict future market movements.
