Thanks Jim.

I was 'pushed' out of my FT career due to 'restructuring' (friends hiring friends), so I will need to pay my bills from trading for a while...

I know you have the patience to Sniper Rifle them A trade.

Good news for us is that we'll (maybe) get to see some of those classic racekfx charts.

Indicators show the past. Price Action "Indicates" the future.

Here is a 1H setup I'm eyeballing currently:

Attachment

What i see here is a pin bar that bounced off of the 50% ret from the previous swing it closed above the daily pivot and 38% ret and the price has found support from this are many times before(not shown on chart)

BTW yesterday formed a BUOB in the daily chart, wich gives more confidence on this one.

Only thing that concerns me is that the pin itself is not the best looking.

If the high of the pin is broken I might consider an entry but only after a ret back to around the 50%...
I wouldn't consider that Kateeus, i can see on my charts that the high has been broken but all the reasons you mentioned that make the trade risky all hold 100% true,

plus...

for me the trade has little space to live, In nearly all my trades i take i want to have enough space for them to breath in, if you play the break you'll hardly even feel that you're in profit before price decides to visit the resistance trend line and the ppz zone around 1.275ish.

wouldn't hesitate to pass on this one...

GBP/JPY is developing possible PIN with long nose bouncing off the confluence of PPZ and 61.2 ret. on 4hr TF with InterbankFX feed.

Hope the pin bar closes in order to pass the J16 PA Laws

Any comments appreciated!!

Thanks for your prompt reply Ghous.

I ditched that trade as it indeed would seem to be knocking on some resistance, also a trendline drawn from yesterdays highs would be acting agains the trade had I taken it.

The nose bar will close in ~40min. we will know whether it PIN, If that is a PIN I would like to enter on the Breakout with 12pip buffer. Do any1 here have better idea to make entry? suggestions appreciated

I don't see any pin bar on my feed, just a bearish bar with a long nose, maybe you guys have it in a better shape??

thanks for the chart ALM

Ok abt the setup i personally feel that since it's against the trend and near friday close the shape and location is'nt somthing i am falling for. it's not a pin bar on my charts first off all so that closes the chapter, but had this pin bar been on my charts i would still have not taken the trade, in times like these, avg setups like this one are better avoided

just what i think...my 2 cents

Ghous.

GBP/JPY daily TF got PIN with very short nose, Can't say this is A trade, but worth a try on breakout!

Just a curiosity.
Since the Pa patterns did not broke the upside today on the majors ... if you have orders are you going leave them for the weekend?

I was just going to ask myself. I can't decide, would love to hear if anyone will hold these daily set-ups that have not triggered over the weekend (Limit Orders), or if you will pull back and wait until next Monday to decide.

Looks like you guys can read minds. I just opened up the thread to ask the same question. So, unofficial poll. Would you leave any pending/already opened orders over the weekend considering the upcoming G20 meeting?
Please pull my head out of my ass, I am running out of oxygen...

personally I cancel all orders that don't trigger on the next bar daily included(rare exceptions)

Have a great weekend
