{quote} The LONG tail of the wick must touch or pierce the 8ema, NOT the short wick. Occasionally the entire candle may pass through the 8ema. A bullish pinbar must touch the ema from ABOVE. A bearish pinbar must touch ema from BELOW.
I am glad to be on board with the wick pattern! It's indeed a fascinating indicator that provides valuable insights into market sentiment and potential price reversals or continuations.

8EMA slope
I record/take a trade based on trending 8ema (sloping up/down).
You may require more slope, or you may wait until 8ema crosses the 16ema.

Whatever you do or use, BE CONSISTANT... your job initially is to collect data on a large number of trades using exactly thye same entry criteria.
You can refine your rules later, after you have at least 100 trades data on the time frame you prefer for any one pair..

Hi. With my broker on a funded account, EURUSD was within the entry criteria. 3 transactions ended profitably. We'll see how the day ends today. After historical analysis of charts, I noticed that a long wick, a strong trend without visible corrections, works best. then a candle with a long wick can be treated as a correction. secondly, if the preceding 3 or 4 candles are in consolidation, it reduces the chance of profit, it may mean that the price has reached strong resistance or support.

2 entries from today, trades still open. I wanted to draw attention to my mistake that I noticed a moment ago. I opened trades on inversely correlated pairs, so practically it can be considered as one trade and then the set % for the trade is too high. my mistake

Here are the 4 hour trades I found on Gold. It is a Forexcom data feed. If you use Oanda charts it will be different.

I began learning trading about 1999... By telephone and 56K dial-up modem. I started live trading 3 weeks after beginning to learn to trade... that was a big mistake in a way, but good in other ways. That account lasted about 4 months before I closed it... I'd lost over ½ of the funds by the time I closed it. I was a "momentum" trader, trading off 1 & 5 min charts just using support/resistance and a 6 & 12 ema. Nothing else. I traded eur/usd in the Asian session when Price was seldom trending. In the 23 years since then I've run the gamut of time...

Struggling with entries? They are there! You just need to be confident in looking for them.
