Quoting Philip Pirrip
i'm tempted to short this pair based on the bar configuration and because its at resistance, but just a heads up that the NZD trade balance is coming out today so event risk is kind of high
Good point. That news release can really move this pair (it's happened to me before). I might wait until after the news.

hello fellow traders,
nice pin bar developing here on GBP/EUR.
over here in london, the daily candle is just about an hour away from finishing.
it touches two areas of fib confluence - the 61 and the 38. I got these levels by fibbing not right from the top (23rd Jan) but on the retracements upwards on the 6 Feb and 23rd Feb.
the price has also retreated back below the daily pivot which is the firm black line just beneath the two fib levels.
what makes this really interesting for me is that the daily pivot was previous support in mid december - see that dbl on the left?
well, now that's resistance.
and finally, todays pin is just above the 365ema so if I put a short order beneath the low of the session today, then it would be trading beneath the 365.
i like the look of this - it's my first trade using price action. I'm going to give it a go and see if i get filled.
wish me luck
tom

Hi Wizard,

congrats on your first catch!

Yes, that was a really nice PB (saw it here on EURGBP, but too late, didn't know there was a flipped pair to that..), and took off quite well. Nice one!
Trust price. Know yourself.

it's too early to call it right now but there is another pin bar forming on the nzd/usd daily.
this pair is certainly looking overextended now but i am cautious since i know some of you pro's got burnt with those two previous back to back pins...
this time i can also see what looks like bearish divergence on the rsi.
i've never traded off divergence before - hell, i've never really even looked for it until i came here - this is the first time i've seen it properly.
i could be reading it wrong but it looks like the rsi has failed to make a higher high from the previous peak on 26 feb.
i'll post a chart later if the pin holds.

tips on divergence: always be cautious of divergence in a strong trending market. anytime your learning something new take some time and walk thru the past on a chart to notice anamolies. divergence can be outstanding when combined with the other stuff we learn but as i said it can burn you bad in a real strong trend. a quick look at the past on your charts will reveal this. it will also reveal some great early warnings of great trades if its used in conjunction with the other stuff.

Hello,

Can anyone point to where I can install a pivot calculator that only shows the pivots, not the R1,2,3, etc?

I have one installed that shows all the lines but it is way to busy on the chart. I tried deleting them but they just reappear after I close the object window.

Does this make any sense to anybody?

Thanks a bunch, Scott

Thanks M. I will give it a try. This one defaults to no r and s lines?

Hello Again M,

I just loaded the one you gave me and it has all the R and S lines as well as pivots.

Can u clarify what it is I do in the code to delete these lines? JUST leaving the PIVOTS!

Thanks a bunch, Scott

well, here we are. a couple of hours from the close and still looking good.
i'm not strong on negative divergence...that is it that i can see on my rsi, right? i'm in doubt because i am using onanda also - same setting on rsi but it's hasn't made a lower high like this...instead it's higher and looking healthy...
i was considering shorting but put off by two things:
a) the traders that got blown out the water shorting the second bar back when it broke the pin lower.
b) the major resistance at 72.00 - i checked back and corrections off this level are often sharp and very profitable if caught but the price movement around this area is highly erratic and could be brutal.
(see next chart)
good luck

To be a true pin bar does the close need to be lower than the open.??

thanks

no.
but to qualify, the pin bars open and close must be within the previous bar's range AND should be approximately within the first third of the bar. e.g. if it is a candle, which i personally use, then two thirds of the pin bar should be it's wick.
finally, i remember james saying that a pin bar setup is not complete until the low/high is broken by the next bar.

Hi James It has certainly been a while! I'll be lurking around here a lot more from now on! All these great systems that have popped up! Amazing the changes that can happen in a year...!
Will try and contribute sooner rather than later - 1 more month of an absolute hellish job to go!

I remember you once made a very good point about the validity of using price action itself for entry and exit signals. I'm planning to brush up on price action theory and try and incorporate it into a BWILC's Median Grid/Daily Fozzy Method (the latter seem to fit nicely together, upon first glance).... happy trading! tea-cha....TEA-chaaaaa.....TEEAAACHHAAA!!!! pencil no, book no... grrrrrrrr

update: nzd broke as expected. for those new to this, lower line on chart was entry (5 pips below pin) and upper line is stop (5 pips plus spread above pin). for me this was a risk of 60 pips.
on the one hour, this had a beautiful setup for fine tuning entry...it broke the low of the pin, then came back up to form the right eye, then broke back below the pin. i was almost tempted to double up
