I'm just going to touch on a forex trading education that nobody else seems to talk about: the concept of price action. It has been around since the first trade was taken in the stock market.

So, it's kind of surprising that so many people aren't aware of the profit potential it could bring.

Unfortunately we (traders) have gotten a bit too lazy throughout the years. We'd much prefer to let a machine, or an indicator tell us what's what, instead of figuring it out for ourselves.

In the present time we live in, you can go to any forex forum online and get your fill of useless indicators, trading robots, and other stuff that just doesn't work.

Sure all these things may be popular, yet you never seem to hear about price action. It could be that it's just too general of a term, so traders don't cling to the idea as easy as they do with all the shortcuts that are available, but here is what they are missing:

Price Action Patterns: You would be absolutely stunned by the staggering amount of information that you can see when you look at a basic price chart. When you do, you will notice that there patterns within the price movement that will give you all the information you will ever need to trade successfully.

The Trend: How on earth could a technical trader trade without knowing the trend. Some people feel they can just throw a couple of moving averages and expect to find it that way. To that I say "rubbish". There is no indicator in the world that can do a better job of spotting the trend quite like price action.

Support and Resistance Areas: I'm always stunned to see how many people think they are following the real support and resistance when they use these metatrader indicators. The truth is there is no indicator that can support and resistance. The faster you accept that, the better off you are going to be.
