Price Action Indicators

Key terms in this workflow

Use these definitions to tighten up how you read the tools grouped in this category.

Keep the chart readable

Good price action tools make the chart easier to scan. They should highlight structure, compression, or breakout levels without replacing judgment or covering the chart in markers.

Use pattern tools as context

An opening range, inside bar, or channel breakout is only one part of the story. The real edge usually comes from how that pattern interacts with participation, session levels, and trend state.

Choose based on workflow

Some traders care most about the first rotation of the day. Others care about rolling structure. A good price action stack matches the workflow rather than trying to show every pattern at once.
