Hi all,

very nice PB on GBPAUD with closed profit about 200 pips, see PB in red circle.
This is a good example of the market indicating a short bias via pa, but as taught in this thread the bar is not a pinbar, as the open and close are not in the price range of the prior bar. You could call it a pinbar by proxy. Some would still trade this as the market tipped its hand, others would not include this in their trading rules. Glad it worked for you.

Hi Hipster,

if you check 4H timeframe, you'll see valid PB with nose touching strong resistance level...

Yeah, I would call that a nice 4hr pinbar. I am not trying to discredit your trade as it was a good read of the market, just looking at the details. Maybe I am mistaken and the hour bar opened and closed within the prior bar?

I have a short that just executed at 1.7786 (the break of the PB). My daily chart shows a PB printed yesterday off a PPZ and 38.2 fib.

interesting pinbar on the EUR/CHF Daily, bouncing off the 150 EMA and 38.2 Fib lots of S/R areas that leave some doubt in my mind, but it should break and give an opportunity for some pips.

I don't want to knock you here. To me it's just one of those trades that aren't worth taking.

I think your right, but really, ignoring "should get a few pips" trades can make a big difference to your end result. Try it for a couple of months.

Would be better if the top of that pin was up against that fib confluence rather than where it is.

Hello Bundy,
I have a quick question for you.Do you think there is a big difference between that PB's nose hitting that fib level and retreating or if it decides to just close around this fib level.I guess I could see some difference in it.......How do you percieve it?

Daily pin on aud/cad, on top of the former range which is a solid daily support and confluence with 50 fib.

I agree Bundy.....there is some nice confluence there but the pin bar itself is fairly weak.....short nose, the size of the bar doesn't really hold much weight compared to the surrounding bars and it doesn't have much 'headroom' and could run into resistance around the 1.5530-1.5500 area.

Heya Boomswitch,

If it was me....I'd be wanting to see that pin bar at a swing low rather than a swing high.

I'm short @ 1.7784.
Could you please show a chart and reasons behind your short @1.7784. This is after all the James16 Chart Thread.

A blank statement of "I'm short @. . ." tells us nothing.

With respect,

Jim
