About the Book
Al Brooks built his trading career on one core idea: institutions leave visible fingerprints on price charts, and a trader who can read those fingerprints can trade alongside them instead of against them. Trading Price Action Trends breaks his system down bar by bar, focused specifically on trend trading and institutional piggybacking — part of a three-book series that also covers trading ranges and reversals. It’s a technical, chart-first approach built for traders who want to understand price action itself, not just indicators layered on top of it.
