Unfortunately I never found one person to act as a mentor. I
consider myself to be self-taught,having developed my trading
approach through trial and error.
That being said, I expect there is nothing new in my approach to

trading that hasn’t been discovered before by others. This is just
my unique interpretation of a blend of information,which has
been gained from exposure to many others throughout my
trading journey.
Numerous traders and educators have had significant influence in

my own trader development.
There are too many to mention in full, however I would like to

offer a special thanks to the following people:
Lance Beggs, Nial Fuller, Mark Douglas, Dr Brett Steenbarger.
Study everything you can find that was written by these people.

Introduction
Dear Traders
Thank you for downloading my price action strategy guide.
I have one primary aim for this book.
To share with you the way that I view the financial markets and
some of the way that I use price action to identify and manage
trade opportunity.
The strategy shared within this book is a discretionary method of
trading. It is not a simple “buy on trigger A and sell on trigger B”
system. Such simple systems do not work, no matter how much
we wish they did. Spend a day surfing any of the numerous
systems forums and you’ll see this for yourself. Many systems are
presented which appear to offer great potential, generating
excitement amongst the forum participants and a flurry of
posting activity. Ultimately they fade away to nothing as the
participants discover the system fails to deliver consistent results,
or they become frustrated as it morphs into a completely
different system as filter after filter is applied to try to overcome
its limitations.
In the initial chapters I have started with most basic tenants of
Price Action and have moved on to the more advanced stuff on
the later section of the book. Remember I haven’t covered money
management and trading psychology. That will be on my blog but
as far as this book is concerned you will have plenty to learn and
apply.
Most of us think that indicators are the holy grail of the market
and hence they run after every indicators out there and in the end
they return in vain thinking that trading in the stock market is not
for me.
Actually they are chasing shadows and the reality behind those
shadow is price.

7
What causes price to move? It is the supply and demand

imbalance and here in this book, we are trying to define this
imbalance in terms of price action. We will trade when there is
imbalance, so that we can capture the movement quick and in
the most efficient way.
So keeping that in mind, I have divided this guide into following

sections
 The best levels to trade on your charts

 The 4 stages of the markets every serious trader must know
 How to identify a trending market without second guessing
yourself
 How to identify a range market easily
 How to read naked charts like a pro and identify “hidden”
strength & weakness
 Quit memorising candlestick patterns, focus on these
instead…
 Advanced candlestick knowledge that nobody talks about
 A price action trading strategy that works

Price Action Trading — Support &

Resistance are the best levels to
trade on your chart
Here are 4 things you must know:
1. Support & Resistance

2. Previous Support turns Resistance
3. Dynamic Support & Resistance
4. Trending & Retracement move
Let’s begin.
Support & Resistance

Support – An area on the chart, with potential buying pressure, to
push the price higher.
Resistance – An area on the chart, with potential selling pressure,

to push price lower.
Here’re a few examples:
Remember…

9
…Support & Resistance is not a single line, but an area on the chart
Next…
If price breaks below support, previous support becomes

resistance.
If price breaks above resistance, previous resistance becomes

support.
Here’s what I mean…
Now:

10
You’ve just learnt what are Support & Resistance, and their role
reversal with one another.
These are “static” Support & Resistance, where their areas are
fixed on the chart.
But wait… that’s not all.
Dynamic Support & Resistance

Because Support & Resistance can move along with price, which
is called Dynamic Support & Resistance.
Dynamic support occurs in an uptrend and dynamic resistance in

a downtrend.
They can be identified using moving averages. (I use 20 & 50

EMA).
This is what I mean…

11
You’re wondering:
MG, is there anything special about 20 & 50 EMA?
The answer is no. I use it because it fits my trading style.

Ultimately you need to find something that suits you.
Indicators are simply trading tools. It’s how you use them that
make a difference.
Impulse & Corrective move

Here’s what I mean:
Impulse move – “Longer leg” on the chart, which

points the direction of the trend. Candlestick size is usually larger,
signalling momentum behind the move.
Corrective move – “Shorter” leg on the chart, which is against the

current trend. Candlestick size is usually smaller because of
traders taking profits, without strong selling pressure.
If you want to learn more, go read Impulse & Corrective move

written by Chris Capre.

12
Here’s a tip for you…
You can trade pullback on a corrective move, and breakout on the

impulse move.
Depending on your trading style, both approaches let you get on

board the trend.
Now, let’s move onto to the next section…

13
The 4 stages of the markets every

serious trader must know
The markets are always changing. It moves from a period of a
trend to a range, and range to trend.
You can break it down further into 4 stages:
 Accumulation
 Advancing
 Distribution
 Declining
Stage 1: Accumulation phase

Accumulation usually occurs after a fall in prices and looks like a
consolidation period.
Characteristics of accumulation phase:
 It usually occurs when prices have fallen over the last 6

months or more
 It looks like long period of consolidation during a downtrend
 The 200-day moving average tends to flatten out after a
price decline
 Price tends to whip back and forth around the 200-day
moving average
It looks something like this:

14
Stage 2: Advancing phase

After price breaks out of the accumulation phase, it goes into an
advancing phase (an uptrend).
Characteristics of advancing phase:
 It usually occurs after price breaks out of accumulation phase

 Price forms a series of higher highs and higher lows
 Short term moving averages are above long-term moving
averages (e.g. 50 above 200-day ma)
 The 200-day moving average is pointing higher
 Price is above the 200-day moving average
It looks something like this…

15
Stage 3: Distribution phase

Distribution usually occurs after a rise in prices and looks like a
consolidation period.
Characteristics of distribution phase:
 It usually occurs when prices have risen over the last 6

months or more
 It looks like long period of consolidation during an uptrend
 The 200-day moving average tends to flatten out after a
price decline
 Price tends to whip back and forth around the 200-day
moving average
It looks something like this:
Stage 4: Declining phase

After price breaks down of the distribution phase, it goes into a
declining phase (a downtrend) and consists of lower highs and
lows.
This is the stage where traders who do not cut their loss become
long-term investors.

16
Characteristics of declining phase:
 It usually occurs after price breaks out of distribution phase

 Price forms a series of lower highs and lower lows
 Short term moving averages are below long term moving
averages (e.g. 50 below 200-day ma)
 The 200-day moving average is pointing lower
 Price is below the 200-day moving average
It looks something like this…
So, you’ve learnt what are the 4 stages of the market, and the key
characteristics to look out for.
Now, let’s move onto the next section…

17
How to tell when the market is

trending
There’s a famous Wall Street saying that goes like this…
Question: What is the trend of the market?
Answer: What is your time frame?
You’re wondering:
What does it mean?
This means there are trends on different time frames. You can
have a downtrend on 5 minutes chart and an uptrend on a daily
chart.
Here’s an example…

18
So, you’ve understood that trends can exist in different time

frames.
Now… let’s learn how to define a trend objectively.
There are two ways you can go about it:
 Structure of the markets

 Moving average
Structure of the markets

The market is in an uptrend when there’s series of higher highs
and higher lows.

19
Likewise, in a downtrend, there’s a series of lower highs and lower

lows.
Moving average
Alternatively, you can use a moving average to define the trend.
Here’s how you can do it:
 20 ema – Short term trend

 50 ema – Medium-term trend
 200 ema – Long term trend
If 20 ema is pointing higher, and the price is above it, then the
short term trend is up.
medium-term trend is up.
long-term trend is up.
Let’s look at a few examples:

20
Now, let’s learn how to identify a range market…

21
How to tell when the market is

ranging
A range market is contained between Support & Resistance.
A textbook example looks something like this:
Now, before the light bulb in your head goes off with “buy low
and sell high”, I want you to see the reality of trade range markets.
Because in the real world, you get variations like:
 Range expansion
 Range contraction
Range expansion
This occurs when the market does a false breakout and trades
back into the range. Thus expanding the “space” between
Support & Resistance.
Selling at resistance would get you stopped out, as price breaks

above the resistance, only to trade back into the range.
An example:

22
Range contraction
This occurs when the market enters a period of low volatility,
usually due to an impending major news release.
Looking to “buy low sell high” would put you on the sidelines as
the markets went into a tighter consolidation.
Personally, I find range expansion and contraction one of the

hardest markets to trade, and I usually stay out of it.
Now, let’s move onto something interesting…

23
How to read the price action of

any markets (and determine the
strength and weakness of it)
Here are the things I look out for:
 Slope of impulse moves getting flatter

 Candlestick bodies getting smaller on impulse move
 Slope of corrective move getting steeper
 Candlestick bodies getting larger on corrective move
Slope of impulse moves getting flatter
Candlestick bodies getting smaller on impulse

move

24
Slope of corrective move getting steeper

25
Candlestick bodies getting larger on corrective

move
Here’re a few examples to walk you through…
Example 1:
A-Start of the move downward, look at the slope and length of

the move
26
B-Corrective move called as retracement

C-A move downward, but candle size getting smaller compared
to the previous impulsive more
D-A very small correction, signalling a move to support is
imminent
E-Price moved to the support with this impulsive move and
formed a dozi(I will explain it later)
F-Correction is almost 100%, signalling that move is almost done
but we might retest the support, which often is the case
G-Tried to moved down, but failed, as bulls are getting stronger
H-Tasted the high of F
I-Very slow move to the support, you can see there are small
corrective move and impulsive move within this down move,
which is the indication of bears losing momentum.
J-Again a doji and start of the upmove begins, slope of the
corrective move is more than 45 degree.
K-Very small correction, bears have died and bulls are coming
strongly.
L-Very close to the previous high of corrective move F,
M-Same as K.
N-Broke the previous high of corrective move F, Bulls are in full
control
Overall:
The downtrend is getting weak. Support comes in around 230

which is a strong line of defence for the bulls.
I will look to long or stay on the sidelines. No shorting at this

point.
With the retest of support and formation of doji confirms that

Bulls are gaining control and an upmove is imminent.
Example 2:

27
A-Corrective move after an strong impulsive move.
B-Price couldn’t travel much higher compared to previous

impulsive move.
C-50% correction of the move B
D-Look at the slope, it seems like flattening out, but we can’t say
bulls are done yet, as high is still higher the previous swing high.
E-Almost 60% correction, signalling bearish pressure is getting

weaker.
F-Very flat move and into the resistance and topped by a doji,
showing strong downward pressure.Bears are getting ready and
can pounce anytime.
G-Look at the candle size, bears have come and want to take
price down.
H-Last attempt by bulls to take price higher but they failed and
now bears are in full control.
Overall:

28
Bulls were in full control upto the resistance area, as the price
reached resistance area bears pounced, I will go short at swing
high after corrective move H.
For further readings, I would recommend the works of Lance

Beggs.
Now, let’s move onto the topic of candlesticks…

29
Stop memorising candlestick

patterns, you only need to know
these 4 things
They are:
1. Wick
2. Length of the wick
3. Size of the body
4. Close of the candle
Wick
The wick of the candle represents price rejection. If you see a
longer wick, it represents greater price rejection.

30
Length of the wick

In general…
When you see wicks “flying” all over your charts, you’re probably
in a “choppy” condition (usually in a range market).
And when you get little to no wicks, you’re probably in a “cleaner”

condition (usually in a strong trending market).

31
Size of the candle

The easiest way to identify momentum in the markets is, to look
at the size of the body.
A large body shows greater momentum, and a small body shows

a lack of momentum.
An example:

32
Close of the body

To identify who’s currently in control, you’d want to see where
the candle closes.
If it closes near the highs, the bulls are in control.
If it closes near the middle, the market is undecided.

33
If it closes near the lows, the bears are in control.
So, are you pumped right now?
Because you’re going to learn something really cool…

34
Advanced candlestick knowledge

(that nobody talks about)
I used to get excited when I spot a candlestick pattern that I
memorised.
“Look, a shooting star! The market is heading lower for sure!”
And it rallied 30 points.
Now…
Instead of “copy-pasting” what individual candlestick means, I’ll

go deeper into it.
I’ll explain to you how not to trade them, how to trade them, and
other variations of it.
Here’s what you”ll learn:
 Pinbar
 Inside bar
 Rising three method
 Wide range candles
 Narrow range candles
Pinbar
A Pinbar is a reversal pattern, which was first introduced by Victor
Sperandeo, in his book, Trader Vic: Methods of a Wall Street
Master.
The key takeaway about this pattern is price rejection.
Bullish Pinbar – A small bodied candle with a long lower wick,

showing rejection of lower prices.

35
Bearish Pinbar – A small bodied candle with a long upper wick,

showing rejection of higher prices.
Now:
Just because you see a bearish Pinbar, doesn’t mean price is

going to trade lower.
In fact, it’s usually just a retracement within a trend.

36
Do not “blindly” go short when you see a bearish Pinbar or go

long when you see a bullish Pinbar.
Chances are, it’s a retracement within a trend.
Here’s what you should do instead:
 In an uptrend, only trade bullish Pinbar at an area of support

 In a downtrend, only trade bearish Pinbar at an area of
resistance

37
Following these simple rules, you’ll greatly increase the odds of

your trade working out.
Look at this:
Recall:
The Pinbar shows price rejection on the charts.
But, there are more than one ways to show price rejection, and it
may not come in the form of Pinbar.
So…
…if you’re only focusing on Pinbar trading setups, then you’ll miss
trading opportunities like these…

38

39
Another variation of Pinbar is the Engulfing pattern.
If you think about it, Pinbar is actually an Engulfing pattern on a

lower time frame.

40
Remember…
Price rejection can come in many forms. You should focus on

price, not the pattern.
Inside bar
It can be both a continuation and reversal pattern (I’ll focus on
continuation pattern).
The key takeaway about this pattern is low volatility. Thus, you
can get an entry with tight stops on this pattern (and
improve your risk to reward).
Inside bar – Small candle contained within the previous bar highs
and lows
How not to trade it?
Most traders would trade the break of the Inside bar, hoping to
capture a quick profit.
But…

41
In a choppy market, the lack of momentum usually results in

many losses (so it’s best to avoid choppy markets).
Here’s an example:
The best Inside bar setups occur when:
 Price breaks out of a range with strong momentum

 It’s a strong trending market
 Trading in the direction of the trend
Here’s what I mean…

42
Another variation of the Inside bar is coined the “Fakey”, by Nial

Fuller.
It’s when the Inside bar breaks out in one direction, only to
reverse and close in the opposite direction (otherwise known as a
false breakout).
Here’re a couple of examples:

43
Look how Fakey setsup perfectly in the downtrend, it broke on

the wrong side and into support turned resistance, perfect way to
go short on the break of the inside bar on the downside.
Moving on…
Price action patterns — Rising three method

This pattern was first introduced by Steve Nison, in his
book, Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques.

44
The main idea of this pattern is trend continuation.
Rising three method – This is a bullish trend continuation move,

with three bearish candles as a retracement in an existing trend.
Then a bearish candle closes lower, signalling the bears are back
in control.
Falling three method – This is a bearish trend continuation move,

with three bullish candles as a retracement in an existing trend.
Then a bullish candle closes higher, signalling the bulls are back in
control.
Here’s the thing:

45
By waiting for this precise pattern to occur, you’ll not get many
trading setups (following an exact 3 candles pullback).
So… what other patterns can you trade?
If you think about it, another variation of this pattern is the flag or
pennant formation.
Next…
46
Price action patterns — Wide range candles

A wide range candle is formed due to an imbalance of
buying/selling pressure.
This represents “hidden” Support & Resistance in the markets

(known as Supply & Demand by Sam Seiden)

47
There are traders who swear by Supply & Demand, and some who
do just fine, with Support & Resistance.
Here’s the thing…
You don’t want to trade them in isolation, but use them with
other technical tools, that add confluence to your trades.
Price action patterns — Narrow range candles

If there is a sudden range expansion in a market that has been
trading narrowly, human nature is to try and fade that price
move.
When you get range expansion, the market is sending you a very
loud, clear signal that the market is getting ready to move in the
direction of that expansion. – Paul Tudor Jones
You’re wondering:
What does it mean?
Simply put, when you get series of narrow range candles

(volatility contraction), get ready for an explosive move. (These
findings can be validated by the works of Adam Grimes, Tony
Crabel, and Mark Minervini.)

48
So, what’s the best way to enter such trades?
You can look to trade the initial breakout or the pullback after the
breakout.
The last thing you’d want to do is trade against the breakout.
Let’s move on…

49
A price action trading strategy

that works
Here’s what you need to do:
1. Mark your areas of Support & Resistance (SR)

2. Wait for a directional move into SR
3. Wait for price rejection at SR
4. Enter on the next candle with stop loss beyond the swing
high/low
5. Take profits at the swing high/low
Here’s an example…
1. Mark your area of Support & Resistance
2. Wait for a directional move into Support or

Resistance area

50
3. Wait for price rejection at Support or

Resistance area
4. Enter on next candle with stop loss below the

swing low

51
5. Take profits at the swing high

You can consider taking half your position off at the nearest swing
high, and the remaining at the further swing high.
This depends on your trade management.

52
This is important…
You must understand the trading strategy isn’t the holy grail.
In fact, you’re going to have both winners and losers. And the only
thing that will keep you in this game is proper risk management.
My advice is to risk no more than 1% of your account on each
trade.
Here are more examples of the price action trading strategy:

53

54
A price action strategy to capture

momentum and ride trends
Recall:
The inside bar is a small candle contained within the previous bar
highs and lows
(which represents indecision in the markets).
Due to its small bodied candle, it’s a powerful way to limit risk
while capturing explosive moves in the markets.
Inside bar trading strategy
If the market is strongly trending lower, then check if it respects
the 21 EMA.
If the market respects 21 EMA, then wait for an inside bar to form.
If an inside bar is formed, place a sell stop order below the
previous bar with a stop loss above the high.
If the order is triggered, then exit your trade when price closes
above 21 EMA.
Vice versa for uptrends.
Here are a few examples:

55
Guidelines:
 The best setup occurs when the market is trending strongly,
or shortly after it breaks out of a long term range
 Risk no more than 1% of your equity on each trade
 You can use 10 EMA to trail your stop loss
Further considerations to ask yourself:
 Do you place your stop loss using the previous bar or the
inside bar?
 Do you set your entry using the previous bar or the inside
bar?
 Do you want to capture a swing or a trend?
**Disclaimer: I will not be responsible for any profits or losses
resulting from using these trading strategies. Past performance
is not an indication of future performance. Please do your own
due diligence before risking your hard earned money.

56
Final words from MG
Congratulations! If you have made it to this point, you definitely

have the price action trading spirit in you. I know I’ve provided
you with a lot to think about in this guide, but you now have the
knowledge to take the information and apply it into your trading.
Here are a few final thoughts I’d like to share with you before I
finish up.
How Much You Succeed is All Up to You

The thing about trading is that it doesn’t care about your
educational background.
You can be a first class honors graduate or a school dropout, but if
you fail to
follow the rules of the market, it will take your money, regardless
of your status and background. But if you follow the rules of the
market, then how much you can make is entirely up to you. You
can trade 1 lot, or 10 lots, and your profits and losses are just a
matter of a few more zeros behind.
Rome Wasn’t Built In a Day

Trading is like learning a new skill. You need to be willing to put in
time and effort to be proficient in it. There are countless lessons
to learn from the markets and every mistake you learn is a step
closer to profitable trading.
Most degree graduates spent 3 years in school studying.
What about a trader acquiring a skill that could feed him or her
for life? Don’t think about the money just yet. Just focus on doing
the right things one step at a time.
Some take 10 years before being profitable whereas some never
figure it out and eventually give up. If you really want it bad
57
enough, then persevere on and always look at the big picture: the
chance to one day be a consistently profitable trader.
Don’t Be Afraid to Ask for Help

There is absolutely no reason why you shouldn’t ask for help when
you need it.
Many people, including myself, are happy to help people out.
You’d be surprised.
If you never ask, you will never know, right?

58
Thank You So Much!
I hope you’ve enjoyed this guide as much as I loved writing it for

you. I can’t thank you enough for your continued support for
Yourtradingcoach and everything I do.
I appreciate each and every one of you for taking time out of your
day or evening to read this, and if you have an extra second, I
would love to hear what you think about it.
Lastly, if you haven’t already, you can follow me on Twitter
