Quote from Lamont_C:
In which case they are not "price action only" traders.
Volume provides information that pivot points, candlesticks, etc, do not. Simple as that. One can do without it, but that's not the point of the thread.

Regardless to what a price action only trader calls themselves considering many Price & Volume traders at ET are on record for calling themselves "price only traders"...
That's not the point.
The point is that the thread starter asked for info about
Price & Volume.
I and others posted links to such info.
The other point that I
included is that if someone chooses to go beyond Price & Volume when they are ready for such after many years of trading via Price & Volume...
They can trade via Price itself (no indicators, no volume, no candlesticks, no pivots et cetera) and see all that stuff in just the price action itself.
Once again, I'm talking about a higher level of trading but before a trader can get there...
Price & Volume, Price & Candlesticks, Price & S/R Levels, Price & Seasonals or any other combo (dozens more) is a great place to start.
Nothing to debate...some traders are very effective with Price in combo with something else or with Price all by itself.
I'm mainly the latter (price all by itself) although I can use Price with any of the other stuff I've mentioned if I choose to do so (sometimes I do).
However, as I said before, there are a few good threads on Price & Volume whereas everything else about Price all by itself or in combo with something else is scatter throughout ET along with being debated about which is better.
Kind'uv reminds me of two firm traders at a party (both making 6 figure incomes) debating about which is better...Price & Volume or Price all by itself.
One of them using Price & Volume while the other using Price all by itself (nothing else)...
Both works and both are just as effective.
