Practice Labeling Initiative and Responsive Price Action.
Rounding out Chapter 1 of the book "Price Action Breakdown..." I am asked to label moves as initiative and responsive based on how the author has described initiative and responsive. From his perspective initiative is when buyers/sellers decide that price is no longer agreeable and take the initiative to move it up or down, hence the name initiative. Responsive is when price pokes out of a Value Area only to come back into it abruptly (see excess price/tails).
Another way to think of this would be trend continuation moves vs movement back towards control point. This lesson didn't really hit home for me. I still think the point of control is the most valuable bit of information I have gleaned from this book so far, but I am waiting to hear how the author will work initiative vs responsive into the context they are building. I can definitely see why traders are comfortable in the value area. Trading the initiative moves makes me feel like I'm about to get on a terrifying carnival ride and there's nothing to hang on to.
That'll do it for today.
