Price action trading, in simple terms, is a type of technical analysis that involves examining past price data to identify trends and make trading decisions. You should be good at analysing candlestick charts if you want to be a good price action trader.

Anybody plz can you explain what is price action trading?

For the most part it's a useless generic theme some traders say to sound smart. Like saying drinking water is good for your health. Calhoun for example keeps saying "price action is everything" then proceeds to do some really strange trades trying to blind guess reversals.

Trading decisions in price action trading are based on price fluctuations rather than technical analysis-derived indicators. In plain English, traders do their trading in response to price movement.

Hi, I will try to explain this as best as I can. So..price actions are trading decisions based on price movements instead of solely relying on technical indicators. It is typically used by traders with short to medium time frames in the short-term and highly liquid markets.
