That's what I thought originally, too.
If I had a pip for every neutral bar that's been called a pin bar or every traffic clustered PB .
Seeking Light? Me too Could u enlighten me on the traffic clustered PinBars..Thanx

Here is an example of clustered pinbars. These can work too for sure, but the idea is to get in the highest probability trades if we are going to put our money on the line.

Pinbars will often occur when price is moving sideways, or when price doesn't have a chance to move "away" and create "space" from price to the left

Also the two daily PBs on EURUSD. Price simply thrashed sideways and you got pin, counter pin. Who are you going to believe?

All price did was keep beating both sides to see which gave first...it wasn't very clear behavior imho...very often you will get 5-6 bars next to each other(as in horizontally, same price levels like) and one might end up a PB - that's sideways traffic, and that's a traffic clustered PB.

Some can work, some fail, but what's for sure is that they're not exactly ideal and superbly reliable.

I think it was mentioned before - ideally the PB isn't too much obscured by the prior bar and has a very "high" open/close in the upper third to emphasize the strong rejection of the low.

I thought that this Pin bar on the 4hr the other day looked quite good. It was at a PPZ, with trend and at Fib retrace level. I also thoughth the actual Pin bar itself looked quite good but the trade didn't pan out? Could Seeking, Mike or anyone comment?

Thanks

The reason I would have passed is the size of the pinbar. Look how small it is in relation to the range of the other more substantial bars. I would have liked to see a much longer nose at that area

Found the one that worked =)
(for now)

Basically it was a 1h PB, turned into a 4h PB and then the daily bar together with the day before formed a 2 day PB. The 4h one looked nicest though - yet I didn't take it due to all the fearmongering inspired by the monthly PB...even though I'd suspected there was a good chance for it to go at least a little bit..too much overthinking = no good.

Remember that 4 hr PBs may not work as well as daily... they will fail more often...

Thanks guys.

Yeah those 4hrly's need a lot more care. I just thought that the position and confluence was promising. Had the nose been longer Mike, would you have taken that one? Seeking, I'm real sorry but didnt fully understand what you meant.

Thanks for your comments.

yes with a MUCH longer nose. That little bar doesn't give enough info for my liking. Doesn't stick away from price enough.

I am doing as J16 has always said. You can be quite profitable just trading daily Pin Bars.

Enjoy
Ademac
Ademac,
I would also like to say well done. You are an inspiration to all of us new to PA. I really like the part about setting your goals and rewarding yourself when you meet them. I also like how you add more money to your account after you continue to be profitable month after month. I do a similar thing myself. Keep up the good work.

YEAH BABY!!!!!

nothing else to say...

and the beat goes on


http://i8.tinypic.com/6yv3tr7.gif

EIT - i hope it is ok posting it here, it is just to show how with looking at a chart for 5 minutes once a week - last week... could make you tons of pips..

i check them once or twice a day- simply because i have no other option..
once it had retraced back, but i held on to it...and here it goes - will it retrace? i sure hope not, but if it does, i am ready for it!

lets go 1000 pips on each!!!

well, the beat goes on still - not a 1000 on each but surely close...

i did close part of it - and thats fine with me!!!

here is the proof that money can be made using the stuff in here - sorry for not posting much lately, i am away from homw for a month now - miss my woman.


btw - i took yesterday's I4B on eurcad - set a TP level, wasnt near the computer all day long just to find out that i added 0.25% to my account, as i expected - it was fun..did it go higher? yes! did it retrace? yes! did i lose money? NO!
i didnt think it would reach my target today but no complaints , just a smile
