All price charts, regardless of market, speak a language all their own.\u00a0 If you have been trading for any length of time, you have likely heard people talk about price action trading, but did you know that you can actually learn the language of charts with price action trading<\/strong>?\u00a0 That’s right, you can learn to speak the language of a trading chart, just like you can learn to speak any foreign language.\u00a0 Learning to trade with price action is really nothing short of learning the language of price charts.\u00a0 Every chart speaks this same language, so once you learn it, you will have a skill that is transferable to any market that can be charted.<\/p>\n

Learn The Language Of Price Charts

If you are reading this article, then you must understand the English language, regardless of whether or not it is your native tongue or even if you learned English as a secondary language from your original native tongue.\u00a0 If you speak only English, have you ever attempted to learn to speak Spanish, French, Russian or any other foreign language?\u00a0 If so, then you already know that learning a non native language is not an easy task.\u00a0 Some people may pick up foreign languages rather quickly, but the majority of people will have a very difficult time learning to speak any non native language.\u00a0 Learning a new language is simply not easy to do for the average person.\u00a0 It takes a lot of study time and practice, but more than anything, it takes practical real life experience.<\/p>\n

If you are an English speaker only, and you go to a Country such as Mexico where Spanish is spoken daily by most people, you will have no other option but to immerse yourself in that language.\u00a0 Through practical experience hearing and speaking Spanish every day, over time, you will slowly begin to learn to speak that language.\u00a0 It will come slowly at first, with you learning the most common words and phrases, but only with continued practice and experience can you truly become fluent in Spanish or any foreign language for that matter.\u00a0 Price action trading is no different.\u00a0 If you start practicing, studying charts and watching them print in real time every day, you will slowly start to understand the language of a price chart.\u00a0 It will comes slowly at first, but with time and perseverance, you can become fluent in the language of a price chart.\u00a0 We call the language of price charts price action trading<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Price charts are not really as random as many people believe.\u00a0 Prices actually have a reason for doing everything that they do, and once you understand this and become fluent in the language of a price chart, you will know why prices are doing what they are doing, and you will then understand that these movements have a purpose and are not random at all.\u00a0 Just as any language has a set of rules that you must learn and follow if you are going to correctly speak the language, a price chart also has a set of rules to it’s language, so the first step in price action trading is to learn the specific rules of a price chart.\u00a0 The rules themselves are not that difficult and most anyone with common sense can learn them.\u00a0 What is difficult is learning to trust the rules and follow them, so it takes real time experience doing it every day in order to begin to understand and see the rules clearly.<\/p>\n

Learning the rules of a price chart is step one, but where the real work comes is when you immerse yourself in the language of the price chart.\u00a0 Remember, to learn any new language, you must get real time experience, so you will need to watch prices print to a chart every day in real time.\u00a0 Where most new traders make their first mistake with this step is that they attempt to gain trading experience with real money, trading a live account.\u00a0 This is no different that trying to speak a non-native language without really understanding the language.\u00a0 How difficult would it be to ask for directions to a specific place in Russia if you didn’t know the language?\u00a0 Even if someone handed you an English written book on learning Russian, how hard would it be to ask someone directions and then be able to understand what they were telling you?<\/p>\n

What if you were in a race to beat someone to a specific location in Russia and the only way you could get there was by asking for directions on the street?\u00a0 If you are not fluent in Russian, yet the person you were racing was, who do you think would get there first and win the race?\u00a0 Obviously it would be almost impossible to beat a Russian speaking person to a specific location in Russia by asking for directions only from Russian speaking tongues on the street.\u00a0 The Russian speaking person would likely make it to the destination long before you could even translate your English question into Russian tongue.\u00a0 You should understand that trying to figure out where prices are going on a price chart without understanding the language of a price chart is just as difficult.\u00a0 You are going to get beat by the experienced traders that speak the language of the charts every single time, so don’t even attempt to play that game with them.\u00a0 After all, skilled and professional chart readers are masters of the game, so the odds of you ever beating them at their game without similar skills is next to impossible.<\/p>\n

So exactly how does a trader become a skilled and fluent speaker of a price chart?\u00a0 First you must learn the rules of the language, but then comes the hard part.\u00a0 You must immerse yourself in that language every day by getting real time trading experience.\u00a0 We already told you that doing this with real money is not possible, because you will simply lose your money to more skilled traders that are already fluent in the language of the charts.\u00a0 In order to get this experience and to be able to stick with it long enough to actually become fluent in the language yourself, you must get on a simulator and just watch prices print in real time and practice trading with a simulated account.\u00a0 How long this might take you to become fluent is different from person to person, but it will take most people a long time.\u00a0 It takes hard work, study and the ability to stay with it for a long period of time, just like it would if you wanted to learn any other foreign language, so don’t expect to learn this quickly.\u00a0 The key though is immersing yourself in the language daily and practicing it until you learn it.<\/p>\n
