hi guys, was wondering what you thought about the weekly pin on the GBP/USD.
Quoting alter
Hello guys.
I read a lot of post about how important it is to move SL to BE as soon as first S/R level is reached. The problem is that I'm stopped out at BE very often with this approach.
BE looks like artificial level to me, so if we use PPZ for entering our trades and for PT projection, isn't it better to hide SL behind next S/R level instead of immediate moving to BE?
Thank you
alter
Being stopped at BE is part of this business and happens a lot if you're ultra cautious. You can minimize it by being very picky with your setups or as you mentioned, keep sl behind previous s/r. Just be prepared for drawdowns if you use second approach. I don't mind being stopped out at BE, but I'm really happy If I catch a good trade, like g/chf last Thursday or g/j on Friday. With g/j, I simply set buy order above daily pin and set tp 100ps higher where I expected price to have some difficulties. When I woke up and checked the trade it was already closed, but I really appreciated the fact that it was a good trade with 0 drawdown.
Just keep practicing and you'll get what you want one day..

Uhh. a little confused. You posted a 4Hr chart showing 17 Bars that formed a Daily Pin. 17*4=...
OR
were you refering to the Long Tail Low Candle as 'the Pin'?

Nice Trade though.

Hi Zim,

apologies for lousy job with rectangle. if should be 6*4 or look like below.
4hr was shown to make next res zone stand out little better. Since it was friday, there was no intention to marry the trade.

I know your TP was 100 pips and you had 0 drawdown, but I'm curious as to what you had your SL set as?

thanks

Hi Giusepp8,
I have been trading for a few years...make profit and give it back...
I have to say I am afraid to trade without the indicators...maybe this is the problem.

to be honest i had two long entries

2. on the break of a daily pin (136.60)

stop for both was set at 135.10 below hourly swing low.

Hi StarChild,

First of all - YOU ARE AT THE RIGHT PLACE TO REALLY IMPROVE YOUR TRADING SKILLS. If you are new to forex or trading and just started being around the forums don't waste the luck you had to find this place. Or you will come back later with a smaller account.

This was how I started to understand James16 method and study it each day with more interest since then.

1 - Forget the old charts. Just delete them all.
2 - Open new charts, naked of indicators. I just have macd, to look for convergence/ divergence. I don't give too much importance to it anyway.
3 - Learn what mean terms like Confluence, Pivot Point Zones (PPZ), Round Numbers, Location, etc
4 - Learn about the PA used on this method (PB, BEOB, BUOB, DBHLC, DBLHC, etc)
5 - Learn how to draw the horizontal lines and find PPZ (monthly, weekly and daily). This is crucial. It has nothing to do with your plataform pivot points.

This is just about the "chart part" of the method.

Then I got into the money management approach of this method, and my confidence just exploded. Terms like risk, position size and compounding must be well understood when playing this game.

Then, I got into the psychology part of it and wow wow... I am now beggining to "trade in peace", I mean starting to not stress when price goes against me or overtrade after consecutive losses (well, I confess I haven't been tested on this one yet I am well aware that the pain will come one day, I just hope I can handle with it), also learning to be patient.

This 3 areas of James16 method have the same degree of importance and you must read all you can about them. You won't be successful if you discard one of this areas.

YOU MUST TREAT THIS LIKE A BUSINESS, that hopefully will start paying out in 3 or 5 years.

Finally, people here are just great and extremely kind, you can ask anything you want that you will get an answer from the James16 masters...

Happy trades and remember - this is a marathon.

Hope this helps you. 3 months ago I was where you are now.

Regards,
Miguel

P.S. - Read everything you can on this forum and follow this thread too - Silent Service Method. Clockwork is a James16 excellent teacher.
Hi all, long time reader, first post.

Missed this one on Thursday evening/Friday morning.

48 hour pin bar around pivot level (grey box - above that i've drawn what the pin would look like over 48 hours).

Ideal opening would have been a Buy Stop at 136.55 with a target of next resistance at 141.

The price is now 64 points gone although i think it's still within range considering the target level. May take this with a stop below Friday's bar.

Would be great to get your thoughts.

Very well said - Clockworks thread is amazing, so much to learn so little time. I really like Wayne Jacksons thread over at Jacko's Forex House of Pleasure and Pain.

I have 4 subscribed threads: the other 2 are Jacko's and No Brainer Trades. But honestly, I just follow James16 and Clockwork thread.
I am really happy with James16 and don't have the time to study other stuff, at least for now.
