hey Marsh, that bar is actually a neutral bar(a bar with open and close near the middle of the bar). These bars indicate indecision. Which could mean a move back up, but generally these aren't bars that we play(james16 material).
Gotcha, thanks for the help.
All I ask for is a chance to prove that money cannot make me happy.

Can anyone share here his targets for the Gbp-Usd?
After the breakout of the pin bar's high for 90 pips~, what is a reasonable target now?

Hi Jatis,
I can't really tell you how long it's gonna take you. Some people get good at it after several months, some will take years. Others will spend entire life trying to get this work... . It's a personal thing, but seeing you in this thread, I can tell, you’re on the right track. I'd say your chances are much better than others, who jump from thread to thread, from system to system..

I trade all yen crosses, majors and gbp/chf


Just to make sure this is no typo! U got 45.000 pips since january ? 45 thousand ??

I mean 4.500 is a pretty good number so i am pretty sure u meant that right?

please correct me if i am wrong ! but 45thousand pips seems a bit UNBELIEVABLE

thank you raczek!

I don't think there's a worst pair to trade yet :]
It has been ranging for 4-5 months without any breakout and the daily & H4 charts look so ugly I won't spend a penny on it.
Just my 2 cents.

Here are 2 scenarios I may take (the red one has more value since the long term trend is going down).

you are absolutely right! the charts look ugly..but imho exactly because of the 4-5month range the pin bar (if it breaks) could be the start of an coninuation of this range..if it breaks i will think about entering with my target a little below the yearly pivotpoint @ around 1.0189..
we will see

thx for your valuable 2 cents

hello urchman!

price action education is not learned on 1 day and pin bar setups also are something u have to learn setup after setup ..

i recommend u begin with this thread. study it thoroughly 2 or 3 times and then use the stuff u learned on demo for a while..if u then still not get the whole concept or are stuck with some things I recommend joining the j16group. take ur time and study at the pace of ur choice..but don`t think this is the holy grail or magic thing that will make u rich overnight..this is a very tough business isn`t it

Hi Urchman


Have you read the entire thread? It really is worth doing and no single post here will give you everything you need to know about it.

Once you learn to identify them you can take retrace entries at fib levels or clear support or resistance if you prefer.

How long do you guys hold out and try to ride part of your position as long as you can? I've been trying to take profits in three steps: closest resistance, next nearest resistance, and then just manually trail my stop until I get stopped out.

I also move my stops to break-even when I feel that there is enough breathing room to do so (50+ pips usually).

Similar to you.

Letting stops take me out of the trade. Leaving LOTS and LOTS of breathing room. I'm more protective of my open positions than anything really. Trailing waay behind good PPZs etc.

One big difference though, is I'm not taking part profits at nearest res/supp anymore. Don't like the sums of doing that. ...Risking a certain amount and then halving my potential gains, which are supposed to make up for the losses in the first place. If I get further valid reasons I'm even adding to my positions now.
I'm getting more loss, Break Evens and puny profit trades, but the winners are much bigger and more than make up for it.

...The override is always PA. If it's strong enough.
Though, if something tells me I should be going the opposite direction 'right now' I won't close straight up. I'll set a stop order as a trigger for a reverse. That way, if it continues on in the original direction , I'll mostly be still in. No stress. ...it's nice to be pleasantly surprised when I check back sometimes.

(I do have other methods and setups on the side, btw, that require set targets. ....when I catch them in front of me. )

edit: I'm still a believer in "don't let a winner become a loser". I just don't classify anything a winner that I can set to BE until it has a nice buffer

i got your pm e, thanks.

as far as im concerned e ( many disagree with me and thats fine) this is getting started in this business the smart way. with all the currency pairs, currency futures, futures in general and a good selection of stocks its not just possible its probable that someone who learns pa and simple s/r and applies it to long term charts is going to be able to consistently grow an account.

Hello everyone,

This is my first post, though I have read much of this thread with high interest.
I am trading high time frames, at least with forex.
This one caught my eyes and I figured some of the people don't have access to Quarterly graphs so it could be a good idea to post it.
The CAD has created a very beautifull PinBar at its bottom, problem is there are no signals what so ever {IMO} at any lower time frame to enter the LONG here.
So I am sharing this with you and hoping to hear some opinions about the setup and maybe future entry signals.

Thanks to all who will review this,

I agree Jim,

However I trade longer TF on forex since I cannot manage the deals.
I work full time as a commodities trader, trading nostro for my company.
In my private account I only trade FX, weeks and above, rarely i go daily there.

I am eager to know your opinion about that setup in the CAD if that is ok.

All the best,
ET

Didn't I catch anyone on this? I didn't even get a warning from one of the Monitors about a rules violation. Man, tough crowd.

I was just trying to make the point about the value of the James16 Chart Thread. So many people are looking for something to improve their trading or are just starting out in this business. And right here at the old Factory is something that cost nothing monetarily, but you have to put the time in and study it from the beginning.

Jim and so many others on this thread are just fantastic people. They give up their valuable time and help people who are willing to learn what PA is all about.

It's Priceless in my book.
