How do you DIBbers monitor for IB's. Are you using an indicator or manually looking over charts at the top of the hour. What's working?

Thanks in advance for your ideas!
Somewhere in the 'Attachments' portion of the thread there is an indicator for MT4 which will paint inside bars. It's called in&out. It doesn't get matching highs and lows though, and we count those too.

Looks like another beating in the making for US equities. (Not that they don't richly deserve it.)

Excellent trade on the GBPJPY trade. I was on it all last night because of the IB formed below the open line and shorted it before the 6GMT bar and set a stoploss after the 6GMT bar was formed. I used extreme lots on this trade because of the narrow stoploss and it was wonderful. Price took off and profit sure does look like I don't have to trade today.

I like this trade Epip. If you know about Pin Bars, from the James16 Chart Thread, there is a nice one forming on the Weekly. Looks like it will be confirmed at the close of the day. Could be a long way down for the EJ.

I will be looking for DIBS trades next week on the downside for this pair.

Just some PA thoughts.

Jim

Oh yeah . . . Welcome aboard.
Nice call on that Pin set up J...! Shall be watching that one all right...!

Many of us do. The idea is a breakout of a consolidation range. When that matching low/high breaks, it just means that some bank's big old limit order has been filled and the way down/up is now clearer with more supply/demand right behind you pushing you into profits. I can think of no good reason not to want to be in that position.

So do we count DBHLC, DBLHC, and Pinocchio?

If I recall correctly, those are all reversal trades where you're entering on retraces. The DIBS trade is a trend following breakout idea, where the best trades offer no retracement at all. Those other patterns are great to keep an eye on though. Not all inside bars are created equal.

Yeah, there is a reversal sign going on at USDJPY. Do you want to confirm?

1 hr TF. Well, actually, I see a double bar high with a lower close, so I'm suggesting shorting this one? Since it is below daily open.

EDIT:However, a double bar low with a higher close could be forming right now at 1 hr.

I don't see a short here as high-probability. I am short this pair, but from 107.84. I do see the previous 1hr bar as a bearish engulfing bar... but this pair has come so far, so fast, and we're 30 mins from London close on a Friday. I'd skip it. If I couldn't help myself, I'd put on a really small position... but then I'd ask myself why I couldn't just wait for a nicer pitch instead of swinging at every piece of junk the market threw at me, and I'd probably still end up skipping it and going to do some reading about the psychology of overtrading.

Wow...great analysis. My jaw still wouldn't come up after that reading. Love your style and disclipine. Besides, we're way over 10:00GMT and that's the limit where we would not trade that Peter Crowns has spoken about in his teachings.
