It is all a learning process so don't let it shake your confidence. The pinbar itself was in some traffic, but I could see the reasons some may have had an order in.
A lot of us always place our order above the HIGH of the pinbar. So in this case that would have never triggered keeping you out of this trade. Playing on a retrace or the close is much more aggressive(not that it isn't ok), but I highly suggest always waiting for a break of the bar to enter.
Take care and don't worry about it !

I see lots of people taling about pin bar in traffic. What is exactly that means?
