If it's the candle I'm looking at, then no, it was not a valid hangman. We want the prior candle to be a full body with small wick. The prior candle to what you thought was a hangman had an equal body to wick.
that's the one. Thank you very much

Well, as I mentioned earlier..she just touched the daily 100sma....has not happened in a while ???!!!

However...if she closes above that daily channel today....UP it is..
RT4X - Can you post a chart? I'm looking at my daily and not seeing that. Of course that could just be me..

No problem! It's amazing how just a little difference in price or candle formation can invalidate a move.

Damn, I need to either fix my speaker or find a new broker - only time I hear from my charts is when they laugh at me for doing something stupid..

EO - Can you clarify if there are anything specific for pins, hangmans, hammers etc? This clears up a lot with hangman. So for you to classify it as a pin do you need any conditions to be met such as ratio of wick to body, etc?

Just want to make sure I'm not misinterpreting some of these on my charts.

Well, it's a visual for me more than a ratio. I'll get something together though that might make it a little easier. There are a couple of finer point details that I do look for that I'll clarify as well.

Awesome

Once you get it together, I'll make sure it finds its way into the pdf as well.

How about this one circled (see attached chart)? I thought it was a hangman, but maybe not.

Hey EO,

We have the 1hr pin for short, and just now we have had a close on the 15 min 10ema how do you play this sort of thing?

Is it dependant on how quickly you want to be in and out of the market?

Thanks

If you didn't get in short already, then you can let price drift up the wick of the h1 pin. THen short her from there. That's what I do when I've missed it. The hangman on the 15m is the prior PA as well to support the short once she gets up the wick.

what if it didnt climb up the wick of the 1hr pin tho? would you then have basically missed that trade and wait for another?

Here it is....
Ah, earlier you mentioned the daily but you saw it on the 4HR. On the daily that SMA appears to be a good distance up yet, although at this rate it might be in play tomorrow :-)

it's a strange day to trade short, I have tried 3 times today to little success. This time I moved my stop to b/e almost immediately as I had doubts so I'm out of the trade. I think I'll give it a rest this afternoon as the week has been good so far Thanks for all the tips EO

Excellent question, my brother Turtle and I were talking about this yesterday on my way home. This is where you need to have soldiers ready to go into the field of battle. Don't enter your full position on the opening of the prior h1 candle so you can add to her if she moves up. If she doesn't move up, then no loss, your already green, just with a small lot size that's all.
