How do you use price action in your own strategy?

[Arnav Deshmukh]

I've been using price action as a key part of my forex trading strategy, focusing on candlestick patterns, support/resistance levels, and market structure. It’s helped me make more confident trading decisions without relying too much on indicators.

Price action offers so much clarity when you understand structure and context. Do you also incorporate liquidity zones or concepts like FVGs and internal/external range breaks? They've really added precision to my entries, especially on lower timeframes

Yeah, I keep an eye on liquidity zones, especially recent highs/lows—they’ve saved me a few times. FVGs can be hit or miss for me, but when they line up with HTF structure, they’re golden. And those internal/external breaks are game-changer for catching momentum. Any pairs you’ve noticed they work best on?

The longer you watch your chosen time frames, Price action / Pattern Recognition in my opinion gives you a basis / foundations of the start of a clear trading strategy.
With reoccurring patterns happening on the charts again and again, using lagging indicators are no use at all.
