Read the chart's structure first — trend, swing highs and lows, and whether price is building a base or breaking one.
Price action and market structure are the foundation of every Confluence Method trade. Before any indicator, you map the trend with higher highs and higher lows (or the reverse), identify whether price is impulsive or corrective, and locate the structure you are trading from — a base, a pullback, a breakout, or a reversal. Structure tells you the story; the other three signals confirm whether the story is worth a position.

Price Action — FAQ
Why start with price action instead of indicators?+
Indicators are derived from price, so they lag it. Reading structure first — trend direction and swing points — tells you the context an indicator can only echo, and keeps you trading with the dominant flow rather than against it.
What structures does the method trade?+
Primarily continuation setups (pullbacks and bases inside a trend) and high-confidence reversals at exhausted swings. Each must still stack a level, momentum, and a trigger before it qualifies.
