Chapter 1 – Introduction
This is a guide to using the “Day Trading with Price Action”
indicators. This version consists of the following indicators:
Trading Tools
1. Price Action Time-Frame Index (PATI)

2. Reward-to-Risk (R2R) Indicator
Price Action
3. Congestion Zone
4. Trend Bar Failure
5. Deceleration
6. Anti-Climax
7. Pressure Zone
This bundle of price action indicators serves as a complement to

the “Day Trading with Price Action” eBook series. It is strongly
recommended that you read the series before using these
indicators.
Do not employ them mechanically.
This manual will cover the following aspects for each indicator.
 Construction of each indicator

 Explanation of its inputs
 Summary of its usage
The default settings of each indicator correspond to the version

explained in the “Day Trading with Price Action” eBook series.
www.tradingsetupsreview.com 1
Chapter 1 – Introduction
Refer to the series for the trading concepts underlying these

price patterns and the trading techniques associated with them.
Chapter 2 – Setting Up
To use the indicators on the NinjaTrader platform, follow the
instructions below.
These instructions are the minimal steps to use the indicators

and related templates. They are not an exhaustive guide to
NinjaTrader. For the official guide to using NinjaTrader, please
refer to its online guide.
2.1 - NinjaTrader
You need the NinjaTrader charting platform to use the
indicators.
1. Download the NinjaTrader 7 charting platform from

www.ninjatrader.com.
2. Install NinjaTrader 7.
3. If you need intraday futures data to get started with the

indicators, contact one of NinjaTrader’s partner brokers (or
NinjaTrader Brokerage itself) and request for a demo account.
4. Learn the basic functions of NinjaTrader with this short

article. It covers how to connect to a data source, load a chart
and apply indicators. If you are new to NinjaTrader, please
do not skip this step.
2.2 - Indicators
Before you can use the price action indicators, you need to
import them into NinjaTrader. Follow these steps to import the
price action indicators.
1. Open NinjaTrader 7
2. From the Control Center window, select the menu File >
Utilities > Import NinjaScript to open the Import NinjaScript
dialog window.
3. Select DayTradingWithPriceActionIndicators.zip and

click the Open button.
You have imported the indicators into NinjaTrader 7.
2.3 - Chart Template

We have included a chart template for the price action indicators
to help you get started.
2.3.1 - Loading the Chart Template

Follow these steps to load the chart template.
1. On a chart, right click and select the menu item Templates

followed by the Load... menu item. The Load Chart Template
window will appear.
2. Select PriceActionChart from the list of templates and press

the OK button.
This chart template will load the following indicators on the

chart.
 GalenWoodsCongestion (blue zones with green and red

arrows)
 GalenWoodsAntiClimax (blue arrows)
 GalenWoodsDeceleration (pink arrows)
 GalenWoodsPressureZone (green and red zones)
2.3.2 - Modifying and Saving the Chart Template

You may modify the template to suit your trading style and
preference. Retaining your changes to the chart template is
simple.
1. Right click and select the menu item Templates followed by

the Save As... menu item. The Save Chart Template window
will appear.
2. Enter a name for your template and press the OK button.
2.3.3 - Additional Considerations

In the sample chart template, we excluded three indicators.
 GalenWoodsPATI
 GalenWoodsR2R
 GalenWoodsTrendBarFailure
GalenWoodsPATI is not meant for use during live trading. Its

purpose is to determine, with historical data, if a time-frame is
tradeable. Hence, we should employ it separately.
GalenWoodsR2R is used for ascertaining if a trading setup offers

positive expectancy and should be used during live trading.
However, it can clutter the chart with the many projected target
levels. To avoid a cluttered chart, you may exclude it during the
learning phase and include it later when you comfortable with
reading prices.
GalenWoodsTrendBarFailure is not loaded as it is the simplest

pattern. With some practice, it is the easiest price pattern to
spot without the help of an indicator.
In addition, the Trend Bar Failure signal marker often overlaps

with other price patterns. Hence, if you want to use the
GalenWoodsTrendBarFailure indicator in conjunction with other
price action indicators, use the Displacement option ensure that
the signal markers do not overlap. (More about the
displacement option in Chapter 1.)
To build the optimal chart template for your trading, you must
understand the trading concepts in the “Day Trading with Price
Action” book series.
2.4 - Market Analyzer

NinjaTrader has a Market Analyzer function that is useful for
scanning across different markets and time-frames.
We have included a sample Market Analyzer template that scans

for price patterns on the 5-minute time-frame.
2.4.1 - Loading the Market Analyzer template

Follow these steps to load the Market Analyzer template.
1. Select File > New > Market Analyzer… to open the Market
Analyzer window.
2. Right mouse click within the Market Analyzer window.
3. Select the menu item Templates > Load….
4. Select PriceActionAnalyser from the dropdown list of

templates and press the OK button.
5. To add instruments to the Market Analyzer, right mouse click

within the Market Analyzer window. Select the menu item Add
Instrument…
6. Select the instrument you want to monitor using the Market

Analyzer. Click OK.
2.4.2 - Understanding the Market Analyzer

The PriceActionAnalyser template shows if each price action
pattern is currently present in the selected instrument(s).
To interpret the values shown in the PriceActionAnalyser, refer

to Table 2-1.
Bullish Bearish No Pattern

Pattern Pattern
Congestion N/A N/A 0 (1 if market is in

Zone congestion)
Break-out 1 -1 0
Failure
Anti-Climax 1 -1 0
Deceleration 1 -1 0
Trend bar 1 -1 0
Failure
Pressure Zone 1 -1 0
Table 2-1 Meaning of values in PriceActionAnalyser
For details, refer to the section on each indicator.
Chapter 3 – Trading Tools
The first two indicators in the bundle do not mark out price
patterns. They are trading tools that perform even more crucial
functions.
1. GalenWoodsPATI
2. GalenWoodsR2R
3.1 - Price Action Time-Frame Index (PATI)

The PATI indicator determines if a time-frame is amenable to
price action analysis.
3.1.1 - Construction
A Marubozu is a price bar with its open and close at extreme
ends of the bar.
A Doji is a price bar with its open and close at the same price.
By default, the PATI indicator calculates the ratio of bars that

are either Marubozus or Dojis in the last 10 bars.
If the ratio exceeds 0.5 (50%), the time-frame is deemed non-

tradeable.
3.1.2 - Plots & Inputs
Figure 3-1 ES 5-minute chart with PATI indicator
The PATI indicator plots the Index value in the lower panel.
It has a Check Line at 0.5. (If the PATI value is below 0.5 for
the entire chart, you will not see the Check Line.)
When the Index rises above the Check Line, the chart is flooded
with a color (red by default) to indicate a non-tradeable Zone.
Input Remarks
Field
Period The number of bars to consider for calculating the
index. The default value is 10.
Zone Color Color of the non-tradeable zone.
Zone Opacity of the non-tradeable zone.

Opacity
Table 3-1
3.1.3 - How to Use

To find out if a time-frame is amenable to price action analysis:
1. Load at least 30 days of market data in your desired

time-frame. (For e.g. 5-minute bars)
2. Load the PATI indicator.
3. Check if the chart shows any non-tradeable zones within
the 30 days of market data.
4. If there are non-tradeable zones, increase your time-
frame and go back to step 3. If not, the time-frame is
tradeable.
Perform checks with PATI regularly.
Refer to Volume II Chapter 2 of the eBook series for details.
3.2 - Reward-to-Risk (R2R) Indicator

For a given probability, the R2R indicator plots the minimum
target price level required for a trading opportunity to offer
positive expectancy.
The R2R indicator assumes that you will:
 Buy a tick above the current bar and place a stop-loss a

tick below it; or
 Sell a tick below the current bar and place a stop-loss a
tick above it.
In any case, your trade risk is the bar range plus two ticks.
Together with an input value for the probability of winning, it

uses the following formula to calculate the trade reward (W)
needed for zero expectancy.
Expectancy = (W x R) – [(1 - W) x L]
 Winning Probability = W
 Trade Reward = R
 Trade Risk = L
After deriving the trade reward needed, it projects that amount

from the assumed entry price (a tick above the bar or a tick
below it). The projected marker represents the target level for
zero expectancy.
Figure 3-2 ES 5-minute chart with R2R indicator
The R2R indicator plots two levels: BearishTarget and

BullishTarget for each price bar.
The BearishTarget is the target that corresponds to zero

expectancy for a short trade setup. It plots below each price
bar.
The BullishTarget is the target that corresponds to zero

expectancy for a long trade setup. It plots above each price bar.
Risk Parameters
Input Field Remarks
Probability of The winning probability used to derive the

Winning required trade reward. The default value is
40%.
Target Long shows only bullish targets. Short shows
Direction only bearish targets. Both shows targets in
both directions.
Buffer Amount Number of ticks to add to trade risk. Use it to
include the impact of commissions and
slippage.
Table 3-2
Volatility Add-On
Input Remarks
Field
Filter Choose if you want to hide the targets for wide range
bars. (i.e. higher trade risk)
Period Bars with range above the average bar range are
considered ‘wide range’. The average bar range is
calculated based on this period.
Table 3-3
3.2.3 - How to Use

Enter a trade only if your target lies beyond the R2R target plot.
(i.e. positive expectancy)
You must set Calculate on bar close to False for effective

ongoing analysis of trade expectancy.
If you want to avoid using wide range bars as setup bars,

choose True for the Filter option under Volatility Add-On.
Refer to Volume IV Chapter 5.1.1 of the eBook series for details.
Chapter 4 – Price Pattern Tools
These price pattern indicators are meant as educational tools
rather than trading tools. They mark out price patterns
according to our definition in the “Day Trading with Price Action”
series to facilitate your learning.
While you may also employ them in your trading process, there
are two important points to note:
 You should also be able to pick up these patterns without

the help of the indicators.
 You should not base any trades on these indicators in
isolation.
 You should not trade these indicators mechanically.
There are five price pattern indicators.
1. GalenWoodsCongestion
2. GalenWoodsTrendBarFailure
3. GalenWoodsDeceleration
4. GalenWoodsAntiClimax
5. GalenWoodsPressureZone
For these indicators, Calculate on bar close must always be

set to True.
4.1 - Congestion Zone / Break-out Failure
This indicator identifies areas of congested price action. It also

marks out possible failures of congestion break-out.
The indicator will mark out a Congestion Zone when three
consecutive price bars fail to close beyond their preceding price
bar.
A Congestion Zone is defined as the area between the highest

close and lowest close of the bars forming the Zone.
If the market is in congestion, the indicator will also look for

Congestion Break-out Failures.
A bullish Congestion Break-out Failure occurs when:
1. The market is in congestion.

2. A bar closes below the range of the preceding bar.
3. The next bar is a bullish bar.
A bearish Congestion Break-out Failure occurs when:
1. The market is in congestion.

2. A bar closes above the range of the preceding bar.
3. The next bar is a bearish bar.
Figure 4-1 ES 5-minute chart with Congestion Zones and Break-out Failures
This indicator plots the Congestion Zone by drawing a

rectangle to surround the congested price action area. Some
Congestion Zones are concentrated at a single price level. For
such instances, a horizontal line, instead of a rectangle, will be
drawn.
As a Congestion Zone is only confirmed with its third bar, the

first and second bars are included into the marked Zone
retrospectively.
It also marks out arrows for Congestion Break-out Failures.

An upwards pointing arrow marks out the setup bar for a bullish
pattern. A downwards pointing arrow marks out the setup bar
for a bearish pattern.

Table 4-2
Under Visual, there is a Signal Displacement field. It allows

you to adjust the distance (in number of ticks) between the
indicator arrows and the price bars. If you use multiple price
pattern indicators, you can increase the displacement to avoid
overlapping of signal arrows.
4.1.3 - How to Use

Beware of trading when the market is in congestion.
Congestion Break-out Failures must be triggered within one bar.

If not, the signal should be ignored.
Refer to Volume III Chapter 2 and 3 of the eBook series for

details.

4.2 - Trend Bar Failure
The Trend Bar Failure indicator identifies the lack of follow-

through price action following a clearly directional price bar.
The body of a price bar is the difference between its open and
close. The range of a price bar is the difference between its high
and its low.
A trend bar is a price bar with a body that takes up more than
half of its range.
When a bullish trend bar is not followed by another bullish trend

bar, a bearish Trend Bar Failure is highlighted.
When a bearish trend bar is not followed by another bearish

trend bar, a bullish Trend Bar Failure is marked.
