PRICE ACTION MADNESS
PART TWO!
Starting 1900 CT tonight

Goals for Tonight
• Continuing last week’s “intro” session on price action
• Focusing on rules/structure for single timeframe price action
• Exercises
• Questions
3
1) The Single Timeframe Price Action
Framework
4
Let’s define “trend” again….
5
Three Different Trend States
• Uptrend
• Downtrend
• Chop/Trendless
6
Uptrend State
• A series of consecutive higher highs…
• And higher lows
• This gets broken if/when the price prints a “lower high”
• And changes polarity if the price then puts in a subsequent
“lower low”
7
Downtrend State
• A series of consecutive lower highs…
• And lower lows
• This gets broken if/when the price prints a “higher low”
• And changes polarity if the price then puts in a subsequent
“higher high”
8
Chop/Trendless
• An uptrend pulls into a “lower high”
• But does not print a “lower low”
• Or a downtrend pulls up a “higher low”
• But does not subsequently print a “higher high”
9
Once we identify the current trend we
need to anticipate what would have to
occur to make the price fall into a sideways
trend, or reverse.

2) Uptrend Framing Example
11
What type of trend?
What would need to
occur for the price to
change state?
12
Notice how some of the pullbacks are deeper
than others. These pullbacks are occurring on
larger timeframes, while the smaller ones are
likely happening on a smaller timeframe.
13
See anything now? What might be
happening?
14
Can you see how the reversal
was formed?
What would have to happen to
change the polarity again?
15
What is beginning to happen now?
16
What needs to happen to fully
reverse the downtrend?
17
Today….

3) Downtrend Framing Example
19
Here is a strong uptrend, but what
just happened?
20
What can you say about the
“character” of the new trend?
21
Notice “larger timeframe” pullbacks,
and the general nature of the
downtrend price action.
22
Here’s an intraday NQ chart. What is
starting to occur?
23
Can you now spot the change in
polarity? Now that the downtrend has
been established, what must occur to
maintain the downtrend and/or
change polarity to an uptrend?
24
Now that the downtrend has been
established, what must occur to
maintain the downtrend and/or
change polarity to an uptrend?
25
The downtrend is still in force, what
must occur to maintain the
downtrend and/or change polarity to
an uptrend?
26
What just happened?
27
Can you see why a short-squeeze
fires off from those shorting too far
along in the pattern, holding weak
hands?
28
Let’s do some “hard right edge” on a live
chart.
