What is price action trading?
Price action trading means reading the chart itself, its candles, trends and levels, instead of relying on indicators.
Indicators are math built from price. Price action skips the middle step and looks at price directly.
A price action trader asks: is price making higher highs or lower lows? Where did it turn before? How did the candles react there?
