My feed is totally diff than yours and i don't see the Pb on my chart, but if the Pb has closed as i see it on your chart it sure looks tradable just make sure you're aware of the 138 region
Sounds good to me. I noticed that there is a lot of sideways action every 100 pips down. Going to be hard to get through it all. Looks like profit taking every 100 pips for me if it gets to those points. I have a short ready to go once it hits 138.55.

Yes good observation, Gj's been a racket these days, be quick enough to lock in profits and move your stops

Best of luck

Damn...
I entered above the Cable PB at Daily chart (The blue line marked in the charts).

So, instead of put my first TP at the red dotted line, I put at the red line (1.5100), and moved my SL at BE.

The fact is that I've "lost" the chance to gain at least 200 pips

This make my sad.. but Ok. What can I do? Study more and take the next good PA.

The Pin is not valid. The open and close have to be inside the previous bar. The close is below the previous bar.
While that pin may not be valid from the way Jim teaches, you should still play it. Reason being that playing price action formations isn't necessarily about making sure that a pin's eye is exactly where it needs to be, or a BUOB closes X amount of pips high... PA is about entering trades based on why price acts the way it does. IOW, that pin is still a valid pin. Psychologically speaking, it reacted as it should have...

This is why Pring will tell you that he will trade pins that close halfway up the bar. Now personally, I don't care to trade those, but I've seen them work quite well in the past.

But one shouldn't necessarily pass up a good formation just because it's not absolutely exact.

If I was in this trade I would've shorted right where your blue down arrow is plotted...
No trade for me here, but watch 1.77 area. I won't say what's going to happen here so TV don't get upset...
I was watching g/chf on daily but price didn't get quite where I wanted (1.8260).

will look to reload later in a day..

Only 2 trades for me last night.
1. added more shorts to u/c at 1.2694
2. longed cad/jpy at 73.09
I'm flat now as of 9:03 am EST

I agree here, its the action that counts, but I think you would agree for beginners it is important to have some concrete rules to follow before bringing a discretionary element into mix.

Why do you think you've lost the chance to make 200 pips? You didn't expect a pullback after a quick move like that? Late Asia pushed all of those pairs up quickly last night -- you need to expect some sort of pullback going into US. This happens every day... it could continue down, sure, but it may not. Then you're going to be kicking yourself for not staying in...

If you're gonna trade Daily, trade daily. Get out on daily. Re-evaluate based on ... you guessed it, the daily...

These are all "new trader" issues that you're gonna have to work through if you want to be successful. We've all been through it. It sucks.

Yeah, Mr. Trend, you are absolutely right.

I am working hard on this and am still learning. Every day I learn new things with you guys.

At least I took the break of loonie PB too.

...BEIJING, Dec 8 (Reuters) - One of the top managers of China Investment Corp, the country's $200 billion sovereign wealth fund, reckons current dollar strength is temporary and he would like to bet that the U.S. currency is headed lower.

CIC President Gao Xiqing was speaking in an interview with monthly U.S. magazine The Atlantic two weeks before the Nov. 4 U.S. election. The euro was trading at that time between $1.30 and $1.35.....
