A practical guide to profiting from institutional trading trends

The key to being a successful trader is finding a system that works and sticking with it. Author Al Brooks has done just that. By simplifying his trading system and trading only 5-minute price charts he's found a way to capture profits regardless of market direction or economic climate. His first book, Reading Price Charts Bar by Bar, offered an informative examination of his system, but it didn't allow him to get into the real nuts and bolts of the approach. Now, with this new series of books, Brooks takes you step by step through the entire process.

By breaking down his trading system into its simplest pieces: institutional piggybacking or trend trading (the topic of this particular book in the series), trading ranges, and transitions or reversals, this three book series offers access to Brooks' successful methodology. Price Action Trends Bar by Bar describes in detail what individual bars and combinations of bars can tell a trader about what institutions are doing. This is critical because the key to making money in trading is to piggyback institutions and you cannot do that unless you understand what the charts are telling you about their behavior. This book will allow you to see what type of trend is unfolding, so can use techniques that are specific to that type of trend to place the right trades.

  • Discusses how to profit from institutional trading trends using technical analysis
  • Outlines a detailed and original trading approach developed over the author's successful career as an independent trader
  • Other books in the series include Price Action Trading Ranges Bar by Bar and Price Action Reversals Bar by Bar

If you're looking to make the most of your time in today's markets the trading insights found in Price Action Trends Bar by Bar will help you achieve this goal.

Product description

From the Publisher

AL BROOKS is a technical analysis contributor for Futures magazine and an independent day trader. His approach to reading price charts was developed over two decades in which he changed careers from ophthalmology to trading. Brooks graduated from The University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine in 1978 and received a BS in mathematics with honors from Trinity College in 1974. His website, brookspriceaction.com, outlines his trading approach and views as well as hosts a subscription-based daily trading chat room in which Brooks talks with other traders about the market.

From the Inside Flap

The key to being a successful trader is finding a system that works and sticking with it. Author Al Brooks, a technical analysis contributor to Futures magazine and an independent trader for twenty-five years, has done just that. Over the course of his career, he's found a way to capture consistent profits regardless of market direction or economic climate. And now, with his new three-book series which focuses on how to use price action to trade the markets Brooks takes you step by step through the entire process.

In order to put his methodology in perspective, Brooks examines an essential array of price action basics and trends in this initial book; moves on to provide important insights on trading ranges, order management, and the mathematics of trading in the next book, Trading Price Action TRADING RANGES; and then discusses trend reversals, day trading, daily charts, options, and the best setups for all time frames in the third, and final, book of this series, Trading Price Action REVERSALS.

Written with the serious trader in mind, Trading Price Action TRENDS skillfully addresses how understanding price action and effectively reading price charts, bar by bar, can help you follow unfolding patterns, which are all initiated by institutions, helping you to profitably piggyback onto their trades by setting up early entries with tight stops. Engaging and informative, this reliable guide:

  • Discusses how to trade trends, trading ranges, breakouts, and reversals
  • Examines the basic tools of trend lines and trend channels, which can be used to highlight the existence of trends and trading ranges
  • Provides a detailed description of the significance of each type of candle, as well as the mathematics that traders need to know when placing trades
  • And much more

Throughout the book, Brooks focuses primarily on 5 minute candle charts all of which are created with TradeStation to illustrate basic principles, but also discusses daily and weekly charts. And since he trades more than just E-mini S&P 500 futures, Brooks also details how price action can be used as the basis for trading stocks, forex, Treasury Note futures, and options. Foryour convenience, a companion website, which canbe found at wiley.com/go/tradingtrends, contains all of the charts provided in the book.

Trading is a rewarding endeavor, but it's hard work and requires relentless discipline. To succeed, you have to stick to your rules and avoid emotion and you have to patiently wait to take only the best trades. Trading Price Action TRENDS is your first step in achieving this goal. With this guide, and the other two books in the series, you'll discover how to develop the patience and discipline to follow a sound system, and reap potentially huge financial rewards in the process.

He has also taught advanced trading techniques at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, and is a popular lecturer at the MoneyShow and TradersExpo.

His book, Reading Price Charts Bar By Bar, was a best seller for Wiley in 2009, and in 2012, Wiley published his comprehensive, 540,000 word, three volume set:

Price Action Trading TRENDS

Price Action Trading TRADING RANGES

Price Action Trading REVERSALS

Al thinks that he looks at price action differently from most traders because he believes that there is significance to every tick that takes place during the day and none of what happens is noise. There is an incredible amount of information embedded in charts of every time frame and he thinks that each of the 200 or so major firms are very familiar with many pieces of the puzzle, but much of the puzzle is actually invisible to all of them. No one has to see all of the pieces to consistently make money, but the more that a trader sees, the more opportunities he has to make a profit. He doesn’t claim to see the entire puzzle, but he at least thinks that it is much more complex and fascinating that what everyone makes it sound, and much of his enjoyment comes from continuing to discover tiny new pieces.

How to read these books:

Al’s primary goal in presenting his Trading Price Action series of comprehensive books was to address the greatest concern among his readers, which was how difficult his earlier book Reading Price Charts Bar by Bar, was to read. Therefore, the Trading Price Action trilogy should be your starting point if wanting to purchase and study Al’s books.

Recommended sequence to read these books that should be most helpful to traders is:

Start with Book 1: Trading Price Action Trends. Then,

Book 2: Trading Price Action Trading Ranges. And finally,

Book 3: Trading Price Action Reversals.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very detailed in depth analysis of price action

#1 book on understanding price action. A bit hard to read as every trader has his or her own terms of patterns but once you understand what hes talking about it is really informative. Very In depth analysis of price action almost abit more than needed but that is the beauty of it, pick the parts that are usefull and discard the rest if they dont work for you.

1.0 out of 5 stars Totally unreadable - avoid this book
Reviewed in Australia on 11 April 2021
This book is so difficult to read that I returned it to Amazon asking for a refund. The content of the book consists mainly pages after pages of rambling - it lacks structure, coherence and focus. The author doesn’t seem to have any basic writing skills, despite the fact that in his website he claimed to have published 30 scientific papers in his old trade of ophthalmology. It’s puzzling to see all the prior “positive” reviews and I wonder if these “reviewers” were reading the same book as I did. I am sure Al is an outstanding trader but as a communicator, I think his book is a “don’t buy” trade for me!!

Truly life changing knowledge about price action. I cannot describe it in any other way. However, be prepared for a tough read and remember to write notes to every single page as there is so much information compressed into this book. I am now moving on to read the next book about trading ranges.

I take brooks vidéo course aside. Very dense, sometimes hard to follow. It requires concentration and efforts.
An absolute banger. I often get back to the start as it flows throughout the methodology, so if you miss a term here and there you easily can get lost or learn your interpretation. Overall fascinating . A must if you are serious about trading price action
