I certainly don't mind the heads up.

I'll wait for a retrace to 1.5520 area on this one though. If we get one! lol
Thanks bundy, I appreciate that.

"I always hit on the cute ones". I wish I would have added that one.

How cute was this PB on the Usd/Jpy hourly.

(Did I just say Price Action was "cute". I got to get out more.)
Price Action does work on the lower time frames (Hourly PB on the Usd/Jpy), but their strength and consistency is no match to the higher time frame PA. (Daily PB on Usd/Jpy).

That's why Jim, mike and others stress the point of trading PA on higher time frames.

Hello everyone,
First of all I would like to thank James16 for this great thread. I have some questions however.

1) How long do you wait before canceling pending orders when you see a PA setup like a double bar high possible breakout ? If the price doesn't break out on the next bar, is the setup considered invalid ?

2) For a double bar high with lower close setup to be valid, the new close has to be lower than the previous close or lower than the entire previous bar ?

3) When you look at smaller time frame like H1, do you check the trend on bigger TF's or do you just take a quick look at the H1 trend ?

I'm just at page 6 of the thread, I might have more questions later. 810 pages left...

Hey Boomswitch

Hello everyone,
First of all I would like to thank James16 for this great thread. I have some questions however.

1) How long do you wait before canceling pending orders when you see a PA setup like a double bar high possible breakout ? If the price doesn't break out on the next bar, is the setup considered invalid ?

Bar patterns like TBH, or multiple Barh highs/lows IMO can be valid many bars later. Because that Resistance or Support has not been broken means that it was significant. I think a chart shows best what I mean, see below. At area B, you can clearly see we had multiple bar highs(my fav), and price didn't break out on the next bar, but when it eventually did breakout you could see the power with which it did. Now if you look over at Point A, which was a TBH, when price broke this area as well it continued higher. And you can see this didn't happen for quite some time. Again the resistance of the TBH was still a significant area.

2) For a double bar high with lower close setup to be valid, the new close has to be lower than the previous close or lower than the entire previous bar ?

Lower then the entire bar. So lower then the previous bars LOW.

3) When you look at smaller time frame like H1, do you check the trend on bigger TF's or do you just take a quick look at the H1 trend ?

This is really up to the trader. Again as James recommends if you are new to PA, stick to the larger timeframes(daily/weekly). Basically he recommends until you can prove to yourself you can be profitable on the higher timeframes don't drop down to the lower timeframes. But personally when I trade lower timeframes, I keep them separated from any other timeframes for the most part.

I'm just at page 6 of the thread, I might have more questions later. 810 pages left...
Yeah you will find most of the answers to your questions as you move through(if not ask away!). I know a lot of people get discouraged by the length of this thread, but believe me it is well worth it. I personally went through it 3-4 times when I stumbled onto it. Then a few more times as I grasped the concepts.

Enjoy!

Mike

Yep listen to Jarroo(jim number 2 ) he knows his stuff.

This hrly pin was a nice one, and based on how James teaches it went right to where we would expect it to stall

Of course depending on how you handle your exits you might still be in

This is what I always tell people who come to me with this problem: go to a higher TF, things are much clearer and cleaner there. On 1h and 4h there are 50 million flips, but the "true" boundaries imho(personal opinion) are outlined on weekly and monthly.

Here's a chart with my current EURUSD example, since Jarroo has been so nice about chart posting to me lately

ezz, try this: keep only the most obvious and important ppz on your charts. Less trades, the most obvious ones -> higher success rate!

I took a small poisition on the break of this IB at 211.52. Needs to break a lot of resistence for me to add to the position. A bit risky but fun.
