Price Action & Trading Foundations

What you will learn

• Read open, high, low and close, and distinguish a forming candle from a completed candle.
• Recognize a trend, a candidate range and unclear evidence within a fixed chart window.
• Draw a candidate support or resistance zone before the next test.
• Compare candle lows and completed closes against a fixed zone without predicting the next move.
• Distinguish trend-line and opening-range events using fixed references and completed closes.
• Calculate planned position risk with explicit cost assumptions.
• Separate swing location from confirmation time and evaluate later structural breaks.
• Compare liquidity sweeps, displacement, fair value gaps and order blocks using explicit definitions and availability times.
• Use range halves and session context without treating labels as trade signals.
• Build a practice journal and evaluate a fixed process with honest records and cost assumptions.
