First, should have mentioned a way to know which stock to analysis 😮‍💨. Even if this applies to any stocks, we can't analyse all stocks. Most of the stocks are already in the middle of impulsive or retracement moves 🥴


Timeframes:

Support & resistance - daily or weekly
Trend - 4H or daily
Rejection of confluence area - 15m or 1H



Strategy:

1. Identify support and resistance on daily timeframe
2. Identify price action trend on 4h timeframe
3. Develop confluence area (means?)
4. Observe rejection of confluence area on the 15m timeframe

Rejection signs:

when price retracement of uptrend enters the confluence area,

Price spikes like V
Candle wicks on the downside
Big white (green) directional candle
Price stops making LH’s and LL
Price moves sideways (many swings inside other swings)
Impulsive move in the direction of the main trend (uptrend)




Entry - Always at the extension of swing “1”

- Initial 1-2 move has to be surpassed in either direction before you can expect for price to touch swing 1 territory and enter the trade

- break of the initial move happens to the downside in an uptrend (more common)



Stop loss - below the move that surpassed the initial 1-2 move

- below where the downward move stops, if break of the initial move happens to the upside (less common)



Trailing SL - below HL’s of the small uptrend

Target - last HH of an uptrend (beginning of the retracement move on the 4H chart)

Risk reward ratio - usually 1:2 (more often than not even 1:3)

If the potential profit is not at least 1.5-2 times greater than the risk you will be taking, then discard the trade.

Great Intro into Price Action

This book makes it so easy to read the charts. Author’s explanation are simple and clear. He does a great job of giving clear examples and guides you thru excerises that mimic real trades. I highly recommend for beginners and people looking to fine tune their trading skills using charts.

I am confident in what I have learnt

To be given and insight to any market true the charts
A language of interpretation. I have read long books on the same subject none of them stuck to me until now

Useful for understanding concepts such as support and resistance, also strips away a lot of the potentially unhelpful confusion surrounding other indicators or oscillators that people like to use to one relatively straightforward mechanical approach.

Good basic trading concepts

Damir presents a useful set of practical trading concepts for beginning and journeyman traders. I would give five stars, but while the content and composition are excellent, the diagrams are not all as clear as they might be.

Not an easy book especially if you’re new to trading.

The authors explain in detail on the price action topic, e.g. confluence area, candlestick patterns, etc.

I’ve learnt to use the 4hr charts as a guide in reading the higher timeframe patterns.

Would recommend all traders to give this a read.

Decent book didn't learn as much as I would like but I needed the physical book not the kindle version. Learned about trading on uptrends, what defines and uptrend, waiting for confirmation etc.

Decent Reading

Good reading but I found myself a bit confuse after finishing the book. Exact trade setup picture would really help i guess.
