The ONLY Price Action Setup Traders NEED To Know

In trading traders buy low and sell high. In order for traders to not buy high or sell low, they need to wait for the correction of prices. The goal of a trader is to identify when the correction ended and when will the trend resume. The Two Legged Pullback under the right conditions helps traders to identify when is the time to enter the market.
Price action describes the characteristics of a security’s price movements. This movement is quite often analyzed with respect to price changes in the recent past. In simple terms, price action is a trading technique that allows a trader to read the market and make subjective trading decisions based on the recent and actual price movements, rather than relying solely on technical indicators.

Price Action Rules
1) Trendline Rule
2) Don‘t Counter Trend Trade
3) Trading Range Rule
4) High Probability Setup Rule
5) Signal Bar Rule
The only people who know where the market is heading are institutions. They are the ones who make the market move and our job as retail traders is to follow their footsteps and get the piece of their movement. As price action traders we need to find the most profitable ways to enter trades. The highest probability setups are 2nd entries at the key entry points.

Please refer 6:49 to 7:18. In a bull trend, after 2 leg pull back, do we reset the count even if there is no new high formed? For first red bar, you counted the leg as expected however there was one lower low red candle where you counted two legs again from start. I thought we continue to count the legs as 1,2,3,4... till new high is not formed. Is this logic also applicable for downtrend?

[@MrWoodbreeze]

Critical video, right to the core of reading the chart for consistent daily profits!

[@waltermorris5786]

I know these set ups quite well. Normally, whenever I review set ups, the one mistake they almost all make is entering the trade too late, such as waiting for the confirmation bar...the closing of the second bar after the set up bar. Studies have demonstrated this is very inefficient...costs you too much in profits. You entered both pull backs correctly, spot on. The second major mistake I detect is they place a stop loss at the swing low beneath their entry point if going long. HUGE mistake. Your stop losses on most trade should be just beneath the low of the bar you used to enter the trade or perhaps the low of the previous bar already closed out. I learned this from hard knocks and from Oliver Valez on KZbin, a great hedge fund trader.

For entry to trigger there needs be trigger one tick above the signal bar. Bullish bar alone is not enough, there needs to be a trigger above that bullish signal bar. Here is the video aobut how to count entries kzbin.info/www/bejne/hH_ddJidpNiLq5o&ab_channel=ThomasWade

Great video but curious how often you'll get that second entry vs. just a single chance?

The good 2nd entry at key entry point doesn't form that often. Almost every day there are several good opportunities but you need to wait for all price action rules to align.

[@KopanoMotselekatse-wg1fk]

Wow I'm thankful

[@PhilChan22]

Hi Thomas. Love the videos. Quick question regarding the 2EL starting @6:23. We obviously got a new high there follow by 2 red bars, then a green bar. Shouldn't that be the 1st entry since the red bar is above the green bar (@6:30)? And then 2EL would be where the red inverted hammer/doji bar is because it went above that second small green bar? Hope it make sense.

[@ThomasWade]

There is no 2EL on the bar you are talking about. Because after 1EL above big bull bar at the EMA, there was no tick below the bars working lower. There needs to be pullback, tick below for 2EL to get a chance to form. So after 1EL, there is a tick below the hammer doji and pullback started. After that we wait for break above the highs of bars to get 2EL.

[@PhilChan22]

@@ThomasWade Got it. Thank you

[@ce8539]

8:15 is a first entry short because price ended on that tiny green candle below the top of the wick of the candle right before it? Still trying to piece it all together. thanks! 8:52 I don't get why that is a 1EL signal. Do you have a video where you explain the EXACT parameters of what an EL and ES signal are? 10:50 there is no tick above on that green bar to the bar previous why is that a 2EL?? 11:03 First bar that received a break above its high? which high are you referring to? edit: Okay I see you're referring to the bar AFTER that bar but the way you use your mouse and arrows it looks like you're pointing directly at those bars. starting to make sense now that i see you're referring to the bar afterwards in these examples. to anyone else struggling keep it up!

[@t3rcx]

It may help you to consider that the bar he is indicating in the video is the signal bar. The entry long or short (first or second) is what occurs when the next bar ticks beyond the signal bar. The signal bar itself is important because it is not a high probability setup if the signal bar is not exhibiting a shape that is aligned with the trend. For example, you cannot take 2EL setup if the signal bar itself is bearish, even if the location of the bar is at key entry point. (There is a double bar entry setup that Thomas uses but it is a more advanced concept). But the entry long or entry short itself is when the range of the signal bar is exceeded, as you seem to have figured out. Honestly if you watch more of his videos, you'll start to understand. He does a really good job explaining price action concepts.

[@ZxZ239]

I'm a bit confused on how do you count the bars, do you count where the price ends/closes on a bar or do you also count where the price has been for the whole bar no where where the price closed?

[@ThomasWade]

The highest/lowest point is the most important. So I always count from the close(if there is no wick) or the wick. The high or low of the bar.

[@Saika811]

Thank you!

[@traderbob6245]

Thomas I'm sure you know more than me but the 2ES "signal bar" was the bear bar in leg two and the entry bar was the bar below it so the second bear bar. That is if you're going by Mack's rules. Not sure if you changed the rules to fit you.

[@ThomasWade]

Sometimes I call signal bar differently. I apologize for the confusion. Signal bar is always the lowest or higher point in the swing. But sometimes lets say 2EL forms above bearish bar, we cannot enter there, but right after close to it forms bullish bar. I treat the bullish bar as another signal bar. I call this double bar entry. But it should be used when the bull bar is not too far from the bearish signal bar and not that big.

[@traderbob6245]

@@ThomasWade < That's not a bad way to do it. If you combine the two bars you get a fairly bullish semi-diji anyway. Just making sure I was on the same page. Appreciate your response.

[@chrisparker8557]

Hi Thomas. This is very helpful. I am still somewhat confused as to where I can start a new count. Is it any new swing low or new swing high? It gets confusing when I am count long entries in a downtrend or short entries in an uptrend It would be good if you took this same video and mark where a new count would start with a 0 or something else. Thanks again. As always, great stuff.

[@fjuansinag]

If I may and if I understand correctly, when you are finding second failed entry short, count resets when the high of the current bar exceeds the high of the bar where you first identify the first short entry. And vice versa if your finding failed second long entry. Count resets when the low of the current bar exceeds the low of the bar where you identify the first long entry. Hope this helps.

[@ThomasWade]

Hello Chris, we tend to reset the count after significant event in the market. That means after two legged pullback to the key entry point or sometimes just important pullback to the key entry point. We reset the count after every second entry. So if we get 2ES at EMA, from there we count for F2EL.

[@leveragefx]

[@LawrenceChung]

what's this strategy's win rate, and how long does the drawdown period usually lasts? (this isn't my usual setup but its very interesting understanding it). thank you for making the video!

[@ThomasWade]

Win rate depends on the trade and how well you can read the price action and be mentally stable. Traders have easily over 80% with this but it takes years to learn, just like any other skill. Two legged pullback is just part of it, you need to learn to context as well, drawing trendlines.

[@LawrenceChung]

@@ThomasWade definitely agreeing on pattern recognition being the key here to high win rate, the way you articulate charts out loud, it shows the years of effort you had put in reading charts via your mental framework. I am still developing mine as of now. I definitely have a foundation on understanding charts, but its the maturation that will take me much longer and it depends on how long I can sit down and read price action forming realtime

[@fjuansinag]

If I may, may I ask how do you compute your position size when you do scalping? Ain't there a minimum percentage change to gain a profit? Also, do you have any experience or sample wherein the trade has played out but you're still a loss because of fees? Your answer will be greatly appreciated. Thanks sir Thomas.

[@ThomasWade]

Hi, unfortunately I don't quite understand what are you asking. When scalping my main portion is the scalp portion. I don't want to leave money on the table and in case market does something unexpected I leave one contract as a runner. So I divide my positions into twos but the main one is the scalp, runner is bonus. You can only lose on commissions when you when you exit trade at break even. If the trade won you don't lose.

[@ClintJohnston-gm2id]

Accurate and clear, magic! Greatly appreciate your time and heart in sharing what you've found that works consistently. I'm curious if you've heard of Equilibrium Fractal Waves? It would apply very well to how you see/teach the market. I'd also like to know what timeframe your using.

[@Nagaslingshot007]

after first entry short/long where to place stop loss, coz second pullback always violet first low/high.

You shouldn't take first entry, you need to take the second entry and your SL goes always 1 tick above/below the signal bar.

[@RotatingLocomotive]

Thanks Thomas. I have a question if you can, why at 12:22 the green doji(after the two full bull bars and bearish hammer counting from New Low) cannot be considered second entry long, since (with the wick) it went above he previous bar(red hammer)?

[@ThomasWade]

I suppose we could also count it as 2EL but it moved so far from the count reset point at the trendline. We prefer F2EL to be much closer to count reset point. Since the structure is downtrend, your main focus at first is to count entries short. Only when you reach the key entry point, you can look for failed second entries long too.

Are you buying on the next bar on the 2EL? Do you need to wait sometimes for a certain type of bar? Once 2 legs have played out, are you looking for continuation patterns or just going on the next bar? Hope that makes sense...

[@ThomasWade]

When 2EL signal bar gets a break above its high, I take the 2EL. I place my limit order on the signal bar. But technically we enter one bar after since that is triggering above signal bar. Bar is important, I buy above bullish bars and sell below bearish bars. You can check my live trades to see how I enter trades.

[@chazbruce2913]

Hello! Regarding entries does the size of the signal bar matter? It seems that you’ve entered on some spinning tops. Thank you!

Signal bar size matters. Mostly if it is too big. That means our R:R ratio is not balanced. tiny signal bar also doesn't show momentum but as long as the bar is not too big or very tiny doji, doesn't matter that much. What matters more is the body and the wick.

At 12.34, the correction completed only after the 4th pullback.

No it is not always the two legged pullback but it is common. Sometimes you have just 1 leg pullback and market keeps going. Sometimes the correction trendline is in play and you have many legs. But two legged pullback is the high probability pullback if it forms under the right context and you follow all the price action rules.

This one of the best explanations of price action strategies that I've seen. Outstanding man!

[@dwaynedmullins]

Are we waiting for the tick counter to reach zero before we enter? Are we supposed to set limit orders and let price come to the entry on the 2EL or 2ES? Or are we supposed to take market orders? Sorry if I missed those answers. Thank you!

[@ThomasWade]

We enter based on candles that finished. Tick counter going to 0 or time counter reaching its interval means candle is fully printed. We want to see signal bar formed completely so we wait for signal bar to fully finish. I prefer limit orders after signal bar gets a break above/below its high/low. But you can use buy/sell stop orders as well. I am not a big fan of market orders.

@@ThomasWade Thank you for the reply. I much prefer to let the price come to me as well. I’m running on Simulation for a while and I’m making silly mistakes still, of course. The trend channel is a bit of a challenge but I’ll get it. I’ve been drawing them too early and not letting them develop, and that influences my entry. It’s practice and patience… and time. Thank you again. I appreciate your efforts and willingness to help make the strategy understandable and applicable. I’m free of indicators now except the 21 EMA 😎

@@dwaynedmullins Learning to read price action and to draw channels takes time. It is a skill like anything else. So it is completely normal to struggle at first.

[@dwaynedmullins]

@@ThomasWade I’ll get there… I’m really only confused on the count reset. Including the wick or not, etc., I just need to rewatch, slow down, print out charts and study them.

[@anukritisingh0509]

Sir, which ema to use

[@ThomasWade]

21 bar EMA on all timeframes.

[@kareemelbadawi6096]

Time stamp 7:18 why did you reset count? Price did not make a higher high? U started with 1st entry long even though price did not make a new high. Is it because u had micro double bottom at ema?

[@alnewman3572]

Thomas, I'm confused. At 8:15 the bar you call 1st entry short looks to me like a new low. What am I not understanding?

[@alnewman3572]

When do you count the wicks, or do you only count the opens and closes?

[@alnewman3572]

obviously, I am just a newbie trying not to lose money.

[@ThomasWade]

For it to be new low, the low has to be lower than the low we are counting from. Which 1ES still was higher then the count reset point. Takes time to get used to count, don't worry. Couple more weeks and it becomes second nature.

What software are you using to make the video and display the chart?

[@ThomasWade]

I use Ninjatrader and OBS.

@@ThomasWade thank you so much for the reply and that too so quick. May God bless you with good health and fortune and lots and lots of money!!!

[@devwilltale]

does this work on larger tf as well for swing trading?

[@ThomasWade]

Yes it does but on larger timeframes you may be waiting long time for a good setup. For that reason I like smaller charts. I want to wait for the best setups.

[@devwilltale]

@@ThomasWade Thanks for reply. I want to concentrate on swing trading . So asked.
