Master the Art of Reversal Trading with Pure Price Action

When markets change direction, most traders get caught on the wrong side. But what if you could spot those critical turning points with confidence—and profit from them consistently?

In Trading Price Action Reversals by Al Brooks, the third volume in his acclaimed Price Action series, Brooks provides a deeply practical guide to identifying and trading reversals using nothing but the raw price data on your charts. This isn’t about indicators or guessing games. It’s about understanding price behavior—bar by bar—to catch major reversals before the crowd does.

Built around 5-minute candlestick charts (generated with TradeStation), this book breaks down the nuances of trend exhaustion, reversal bars, failed breakouts, and the essential structure behind profitable setups. Brooks walks you through both bullish and bearish reversals- and reveals the signs of strength and weakness that precede turning points in stocks, forex, futures, and more.

Whether you’re trading the E-mini S&P 500 or looking to apply price action to other instruments, this volume is your field manual for high-probability reversal setups.

Spotting Strength in Trends & Breakouts

Understanding the anatomy of strong trends is key to anticipating reversals with precision. In Trading Price Action Reversals by Al Brooks, you’ll discover how to recognize the subtle but powerful signs that a trend is either gaining momentum or about to fall apart. Here are some of the core concepts covered:

  • Gaps, spikes, and urgency often signal strong institutional activity. Breakouts that begin with large trend bars and follow-through buying or selling are more likely to sustain.
  • Trend strength is visible in the details—tight overlap between bars, consistent trend bar closes, and few (if any) profitable countertrend setups.
  • Micro gaps and measuring gaps provide valuable clues on whether a breakout will continue or fade.
  • Pullbacks in strong trends are often shallow and infrequent. When they occur, they usually come with weak signal bars, forcing disciplined traders to act early or miss the move.
  • Volume and bar structure matter. For example, breakout bars with large bodies, small tails, and explosive volume are more likely to succeed.
  • Failed reversal attempts (such as spikes against the dominant trend) tend to become continuation flags, offering another opportunity to enter in trend direction.
  • Context is everything—whether it’s the behavior of prior swing highs/lows, the location of moving averages, or market structure patterns like wedges, flags, or expanding triangles.

Whether you’re tracking bull or bear breakouts, this book teaches you how to read the signs of strength, distinguish fakeouts from real shifts, and trade with confidence at the turning points.
