Key Trading Principle #1 of 7: Ignore what everyone says, no matter the technicals, a sense of true price action is still king.
What is price action?
Price action analysis is when a trader looks at the basic movements of price to generate signals of entry and exit in trades. It stands out for its reliability and for not requiring the use of indicators.
This is vacant in so many modern trading strategies.
Using price action is a powerful way to develop your true understanding of the markets (that is, your ability to get into winning trades and leaving the losing trades).
Many of the world’s best traders, including Paul Tudor Jones, use this technique.
But let’s not confuse you, let’s jump straight on the charts to explain..
This is a piece of raw price action (no technical analysis applied):

I want to highlight two areas within this piece of price action,
‘Area of interest 1 & Area of interest 2.

These areas highlight exactly what having an understanding of price action really is.
Within both of these areas traders will be looking to play short.
But which area do we take and why?
Let’s jump into what is really going on and how using our SMC & Patterns strategy we stay out of the market at the right times an only trade when price action is telling us to…
Characteristics of Area 1 (why traders will look to trade short here)
- Impulsive price action
- Huge bullish volume stepping into the market
- No clear and obvious slowdown before reaching the area of interest
For ‘Area of interest 1’, the average retail trader will be trading off of the local double top, regional resistance, maybe a 78.6% fibonacci level or daily 50 EMA (all forms of technical analysis).
If you’re new to trading these terms may not mean that much to you… essentially they are technicals tools pulled from other strategies that would indicate a change in the trend, a location within the market where traders would look to open positions.
Now, if you are a trader looking to play this short position the odds of price action reversing within your areas of interest are drastically reduced,
Why?
Well, price action is showing us no clear signs it is not ready to reverse. The bulls are still clearly in control of this market and are showing signs of slowing down.
Price action is is incredible impulsive, bullish engulfing candle after bullish engulfing candle.
What happens?
The market sees a small pullback at the locals double top and then continues in its original direction – sellers trading shorts have been squeezed out of the market.
You won’t believe how many strategies would be looking to trade shorts like this, unaware of the most probable outcome…
An easy loss that could have been avoided if the traded traded the price action that the market was showing.
Characteristics of Area 2 (why The Social Traders look to trade short here)
- Corrective price action
- Bulls beginning to slow and bears stepping into the market
- A clear and obvious slowdown before reaching the are of interest
Traders looking to play the market short from ‘Area of interest 2’ have a much higher probability of the market seeing a rejection in their intended direction,
Why?
Price action has shown signs of the market wanting to reverse, we have bearish volume stepping into the market at every given opportunity so it is only a matter of time before this corrective piece of price action breaks and the impulse happens.
We also have other technicals developing providing more confluence to take this trade.
What happens?

Price action tops out followed by the bears impulsively step into the market, the move commits to itself meaning we can bank much larger percentages on a swing.
This is the move The Social Traders capitalise on,
However, the technicals drawn here are not a true representation of how we would granularly analyse our charts and enter the market, we have simply drawn out an example of understanding true price action .
We would enter the top of this trend using our pro Patterns and SMC strategy,
This is how:

This trade went to bank 17.42%
Powerful isn’t it?
A little later, you’ll understand these other technicals in more detail,
Or why not jump in straight away?
