11# Grid Action Forex Strategy
A Grid-Based Price Action Strategy for Reversal Entries
Dimitri 2025
Grid Action uses a fixed pip-based grid system to define objective support and resistance levels across different timeframes, combined with simple price action confirmation for high-probability reversal entries.
1. GRID STRUCTURE BY TIMEFRAME
Price levels are anchored to fixed pip intervals depending on the timeframe:
Timeframe |
Grid Spacing |
---|---|
1 Minute |
1 pip |
1 Hour |
10 pips |
Daily |
50 pips |
Monthly |
500 pips |

Support and Resistance can ONLY be drawn on these fixed grid lines. No discretionary zones.
2. IDENTIFYING SUPPORT AND RESISTANCE
Support/Resistance is defined objectively by wicks interacting with grid lines:
-
A wick piercing above a grid line = potential Resistance
A wick piercing below a grid line = potential Support
Reinforcement Rule:
The more candle wicks touch/pierce the same grid level, the stronger the level becomes.
3. TIMEFRAME STRENGTH
-
Lower timeframes (e.g. 1m): noisier, less reliable levels
Higher timeframes (1H, Daily): more reliable, stronger reactions
Best practice: draw grid levels from 1H chart, execute entries on 1m chart
4. TRADE ENTRY RULES – REVERSAL SETUP
SELL SETUP (Bearish Reversal)
-
A bearish candle touches or pierces a Resistance Grid Line with its upper wick
-
The next candle (green or red) closes below the open of the first candle
-
→ Enter SELL at the close of the confirmation candle
BUY SETUP (Bullish Reversal)
-
A bullish candle touches or pierces a Support Grid Line with its lower wick
-
The next candle (red or green) closes above the open of the first candle
-
→ Enter BUY at the close of the confirmation candle
5. STOP LOSS & TAKE PROFIT
Stop Loss (SL)

Scalping:
-
SELL: Just above the wick of the setup candle
BUY: Just below the wick of the setup candle
-
-
Swing/Intraday:
