I believe your referring to the New Zealand. Yes that's a Double Bar High Lower Close off a PPZ and running into a PPZ. What can break through a PPZ? I would only wait for Good 'Ole Price Action to break through. Good eye.
Jarroo, Thanks for the correction Up all night till 5 am watching the open follow threw and all. Double Bar High Lower Close! Thanks for the Period converter. I had been doing it manual in my head . When I saw that trade I got excited and could not wait to pull the trigger. Now how do i put that in a EA? Great trade on that 8 hour pin!

I love 1 hour work days, just a FYI I went to 20 /20 for stop and profit target because of the bigger moves. PB @ 8:15 EST short made my day, Again trend = down = too easy = People like to be a hero and catch a CT trade but lose lots of money being the hero.

I know this is too gump for most of ya but it's just that easy. There are many hereabouts who either do not know how to recognize a trend, or refuse to recognize a trend but most folks would rather have other folks think they are smart than to make $$$. Trading with the trend doesn't challenge them sufficiently, so they do something else. Of course they lose.

Most people learn too much. You just need a couple of things you have faith in, and the guts to use them. If you cant enter a trade after you just had a losing trade on the same signal, you cant trade for $$$. You're kidding yourself if you think you can.

You gotta be aware of the time frame you're trading in. When the weekly gets over-extended in its trend, it sets up a tradeable countertrend move on the daily. When the daily gets overextended, it sets up a tradeable ct move in the hourly/30 min. When the hourly/30min get overextended, it sets up a ct trade on the 5 min. Daytraders make a big mistake trying to catch countertrade moves by referring only to the very short term (5,2,or 1 min) charts. That's gambling. You can trade with the trend by looking only at the 5 min, entering on every pullback, but if you want to catch the countertrend moves, you gotta know where you are on the bigger charts. This is all I do and have done to make a living for years, I just added some of J16 PA to it but it's nothing new just James rebadged old stuff.

Look at today again on the 30min, 7:30 EST, you see that PB and how over-extended it is trending down? You know a pullback is coming so for the 5min stuff you know it's going to start trending up. You can still get short but your going to have to close it quick.

Nice stuff Ryan,

One question, do you only enter on pinbars at the good areas on your bb's, or do you take entries without pa from time to time, if price is at a great area and with trend?

Thanks

Ryanmcd,

Did you trade only where you have the arrows (during the flat time, all look to be pin bars)?

The best trade I see on your chart, is at the start of the large down move there is a bearish outside bar. Would you recommend this trade (bearish outside bar, against the BB and setting up a lower high)?

I took the 1st arrow and was down for the day +2% and it took 1 hour. All the other arrows are trades I watched but did not take because I made what I needed too but if I missed the 8:30 I would off been in them. Also what bar are you talking about? What time?

I like to see a move that shows me it's going to stick with the trend, if it's a PB, or a engulfing bar or a spike, just something. If I don't get it I may still take it but I like to have something else on my side with the trend. Check out the down move on if you shorted the 21EMA everytime it hit when in trend.

Thank you for your help.

The bar I am talking about is at the start of the big down move on the chart you shared. It is to the left of the big down arrow you drew. There is a bearish outside bar against the BB. It appears to have occured at about 2 AM your time.

It's not a "double Pin Bar", it's 2 or more bars that when combined together form a familiar looking Price Action formation. (Sorry, can't post a chart).

Hey Ryan, Nice chart. I took two trades last night of the 5 min. First was loss 17 pip. Second was win. risk:17 reward:117. I used Mike's magic 8 ball for exit signal . My thought processes was ...Daily Trend = Down. Look for hourly setup..... ( Bearish Triple High Low Close) then enter on the 5 min using PA. I got in before I saw Jarroo post that 8 hour pin. That post made me happy.

What is "new" about James to me is proof you can do this and make money over time without a PHD. That it is a business and to be treated as such. That a fellow trader spent a lot of time in the fetal position and overcame his fear to trade constantly. His willingness to teach people and help them avoid blown accounts.

You guys that do this full time amaze me. I don't know how you deal with the fear. I'm new to forex and demoing for 3 months like James teaches. When I pull the trigger it feels just the same as when I trade real money. My chest gets tight and my palms sweat sometimes. Other times I see it and pull the trigger no problem. Any tricks to overcome the fear much appecaited.

Practise, practise, practise.

Through countless times of seeing set-ups and placing your stops and not "fearing" that if your stop loss is hit, it's not the end of the world. Fine tuning your set-ups (which develops over time) high probability trades will look joyful instead of fearful.

Best analogy I can make is the 1st year doctor that faints at the sight of blood and then (over time) becomes a 1st class surgeon.

Just some thoughts.

You get immune to it, I lose 20k on a trade if it's wrong and it's no biggie it's just a numbers game. My brother is a pro poker player and is down 60-80k at times, no biggie if you do it long enough you know you are going to win. If you still freak out on the money part you will lose over and over and over.

Also on that chart the trend was down, should never take a long unless you like to lose.

in my view,aSandman,this type of fear can only be overcome when you
KNOW THE SETUP so well you KNOW it works over time.
TRUST YOUR LINES,pivots res/sup levels etc. ONLY when you KNOW your lines are correct can you pull the trigger without fear.
if a person is trading setups other people say work they will ALWAYS be fear ,MAKE THEM YOUR OWN,know them well enough to do so.
hope this fast reply helps on my way to my real job

Thanks for the response Ryan and all! Look at my chart, I took two shorts at the red arrows. ie I don't want to fight the trend.

@ GJ thanks for the input man and very valid. The thing is a lot of the setups I take are my own. They are not Pure J16, and I have trouble believing in them. I guess it all comes down to self confidence in yourself. Something Mike said can only come from within and over time. To quote PC, a truth that has always held true even if I did not realize it myself.
