Thanks Jarroo for the quick reply. I know this pair is a mess, just want to learn so at least I know and got to learn what to expect in this area. Now I'm in love with PA lol.
I understand, this is how we practise and learn.

Short answer is: I don't know, I'm not you.

I wouldn't want to turn this discussion into a trading course. No time, no place for this on an open and public forum....
Trades I'm posting from time to time are for illustration/entertainment...

OK. Patience and hard work. I'll keep studying and practice every day.

Thank you.

The Weekly PB on the Eur/Gbp worked out nicely Mab.

Once Price broke the PB, it's a good sign to see Price retrace to the entry point and then continue to fall as shown on the 4 hour chart. More so on the Hourly.
Hi Jarroo,

The pin bar break has turned into a good trade - I am only paper trading at the moment with the J16 stuff - but am seeing the benefits of trading higher time frames. It also suits because I currently work full time.

Took profit at TP1 for 150 pips. Moved remaining Lots to B/E.

Guys, do the TP 2 & 3 areas look like reasonable targets ?

Regards

MAB! Congratulations on locking in some profit and having a free run!
I think the TP2 is reasonable at 0.90ish (just round up the numbers)
Iam little concerned that the direction of your FIB. is wrong
take a look at my chart for TP3 at ppz (0.86ish). It's just my view, more experienced traders can comment. Thanks

Managing a trade is an idividual thing. Draw some S/R levels on the Daily for possible targets and/or stop loss placements.

I like the .8500 as a strong PPZ . TBL on the 4 hour could be tradable, I would have a target at .8430. But my eyes would be looking for Bullish PA to ride the current uptrend.

In all honesty, the pair is a messy and all over the place. When I scan pairs and would come across this one . . . that looks like a couple of porcupines in a fight . . I pass. There are many other easier pairs to trade.
Yeah, this stuff works.

yeah, like Jarroo said, it's personal. If you took profit it's all good.

I'm not in this trade, but if I was I'd look at Fib expansions and this is how I'd draw them. I'd wait to see how price reacted around the level (acting as S/R). Seeing the 68 FE act as resistance would make me think it would hit the next level, and it looks like it did. But his is all hindsight stuff...

Other half stopped out at break even. 1st half I caught 67 pips. I may re-enter if other Price Action shows the way with the PB.

I had my tp set to 1.5150 upon the break of the wk pb. It hit this on one of my brokers, but missed on the other. Thankfully the larger account won out on this occassion, so I'm only down a nominal amount in my smaller a/c. But that aside, my tp was probably set too tightly on the ppz, and I could have given price some waggling room. An IB formed on the 4h chart at this level and has subsequently broken to the downside. Hopefully we'll get some pa to indicate that this pair is heading north again. If we do I may add to my position, but I'll still be watching that ppz at 1.5150 as a tp level.

What do you guys think about this small PB. It's still in sideway move. So I thought I want to try to play in this range. The PB supported by PPZ and 61.8Fib. I actually shorted from the blue area, and close around 60+ps when I see price rejected the PPZ and the market didn't move much after London open. So, this definetely still in correction. Any comment on this?

I had another trade running on E/U. Hit the target around 1.3400 but currently still holding it, just want to see how price reacted at the PPZ. If it fail, I will close my position.
