Price Action Chronicles Volumes 1 & 2

Price Action Chronicles Volumes 1 & 2 by Bryce Gilmore are a rare, detailed record of real-world trading using pure price action during one of the most remarkable bull markets in modern history. Written as a day-by-day chronicle of the S&P500 futures market between April and July 2007, these volumes provide readers with a front-row seat into the mind of a seasoned trader who relies solely on price levels, money flow, and the repetitive habits of “smart money” participants.

Volume 1 captures the evolving bull run from April through June 2007, illustrating how market action, Federal Reserve meetings, contract rollovers, and intraday price structure shape trading decisions. Volume 2 continues the journey, covering the July 2007 top and the first cracks in the market’s long advance, offering invaluable insights into trading during periods of transition.

These chronicles are more than just a diary; they are a masterclass in applying the Price Action Method: trading one day at a time, staying aligned with money flow, managing risk with tight stops, and adapting to changing conditions without relying on lagging indicators. Gilmore emphasizes discipline, preparation, and the use of geometric patterns, retracements, and 1:1 projections to capture consistent profits.

For traders seeking to see the market through a professional’s eyes, this combined edition offers a practical, unfiltered look into real trading decisions—wins, losses, and lessons learned. It’s a unique opportunity to learn price action not from theory, but from lived experience in the heat of market action.

By studying Price Action Chronicles Volumes 1 & 2, you will gain:

• How to prepare each day using pre-market levels, swing geometry, and money flow analysis.
• The role of intraday swings (small, medium, large degree) and how to trade them effectively.
• Risk management principles—using 3–6 tick stops and knowing when to cut trades quickly.
• Identifying recurring price action setups: gap fills, reversal hammers, 1:1 projections, and range breakouts.
• How to adapt your mindset: “Trade what you see, not what you think.”
• Techniques to trade through high-impact events like Federal Reserve announcements.
