I have different levels where I will take partial stop losses. 161.84, 161.52 and 160.79.


Ideally the best placement for a stop loss is just below the nose of the PB.
I think its in traffic go0d looking pin th0

Weekly could end up as a PB as well, with a strong PPZ. Still to early to say.

Not that I don't use Fibs, but take a look at the previous daily closes/lows and where price today found support.

for euro usd we are currently sitting on 365 ema. I dont like the fact that its been tested for too long though. If it was a strong support, price would have jumped up from there. However, including the dark view of the europeans on the economy, I would say that this BUOB will fail tomorrow. Oh well, one more PA trade lost !

yes i think so, i can recall him mentioning that a few of his posts ago...

anyways nice stuff Jarroo, and a great post by Bundy earlier on, let's keep this thing moving for the next 100 years! YEAH!

abt the Ej situation, i was thinkign and thinking abt that pin bar it is right on top of a nice ppz, an ema (i am going jarroo's chart on this one) and the nose touches the 50% fib, so i agree that the support is strong enough, but i still don't like the way the daily has behaved so far, i am thus glad i didn't enter, the fact which stopped me taking it was the activation problem on my feed i still don't see today's daily going convincingly above the pin. This certainly makes the case even more interesting, so where do we go?? time should tell...

BTW anybody already long Ej??

hang on bro! why do you want to jump to such a strong conclusion just now, give PA some positive space...the bears have'nt yet crossed the line, wait for the break of the BUOB to the downside to confirm a lost trade, hope you have'nt closed the trade already...

i havent. Im just dissapointed in the price reaction so far. I still have my stop is below the BUOB low and am also long EY btw. Im a newbie in J16 PA, so Im demoing all the PA formations until Im starting to get a feel for the A++ ones.

Ghous, I am long on the EJ trade, following the pin bar.

I saw the same postives you noted, and took the trade. I guess I shall see how it plays out.

And that was another reason, for my decision... thanks Hipster, and of course thanks to Raczekfx

I, for one, am not taking the ej pinbar because of the heavy consolidation it has formed right above it (shaded in blue). It has to pass through a lot of traffic (resistance) to survive. It is also in a heavy downtrend.

*edit
Of course if it did manage to pass that area, it might go all the way up to 167.

On the weekly chart we have a strong bearish movement. I, personally, would like to see price drop down to around 159.20 and form price action there for a higher probability trade.

Hello,
I've started reading this thread. I regret not reading it earlier. Can someone who has been following and trading this method please confirm that I understand it correctly.
step 1) Identify the chart patterns james has taught us. That is, dblhc, dbhlc, beovb, buovb and pin bars.
Step 2) see if they occur at s/r lines and trendlines.
step 3) see if they are at major fib levels.
step 4) see if step 2 and 3 occur at higher time frames.

If all above (basically the more confluence the better), then we enter the position. Is my understanding correct?
Also, how do you trade beovb? do you just enter at the open of the bar (third bar) after the pattern. Another question, how do you exit, do we exit at the next s/r level? how are the moving averages in james charts used? and how are the keltner channels used.

Does any post have a summary of the method.

Many thanks

there you go...some nice bullish signs around, the daily closing with a nice tail to the south, eh? you need to take this as a lesson and understand the utmost importance of patience in this business

it still is not an exact science or a rule of thumb, although all of the above is true still the validity of the situations you mentioned don't make up the holy grail, i.e you're not guaranteed 100% success, you need to update your naked eye with experience and learn to trade what you see...
