I look at 18 pairs from Interbank, I dont look at the obscure ones or ones with less than a screen full of weekly day. This should be enough to present a few good trades every week/day/month depending on TF and style.

ghous, how is that pinbar different than the e/j, it doesn't appear it's open and close is within the previous. Thanks for your time
It might have been slightly different on your feed, on my chart the bar did close within the previous bar.
I believe . . .

When you really think about it, if you get just 1 good setup on average a month from each pair (some may give 2, some may have 0), that still adds up to 18 trades a month. That is plenty of trades.

If you look closely, Ghous' pinbar did close within the previous bar.
EJ closed just a little bit lower than the previous bar's low.

You are correct, my mistake. Open is within, Close off just a bit.

Indicators show the past. Price Action "Indicates" the future.

Thanks Chris, I was aware of the differences, just pointing out as you mentioned with PPZ's we see were price DID move around or respect, wherase the floor traders one may or may not be respected and may or may nor line up with J16 PPZ's. Anyway I agree I like to keep my charts clean less is more.

Thanks Mark
Hi Mark,

No probs, I thought you might know the differences from your wording. Just thought I'd clarify things a bit for some readers who might not have been so sure.

Best,
Chris

Hi again Krue,

Here is how I understand the 2:

Anticipation:

Simply a gut feeling. But again the gut feeling wasn't a revelation was it? Things like divergence and the overall trend once noticed can be good occupants of a corner of your mind. It's these that then make you "feel" the market is headed in a certain direction. Quite often I get to muster such anticipatory points upon the first look on the pair.

When I looked at the Aud/Chf setup the first thing I noticed was the bullish momentum and the smooth logical uptrend. (rythemic consolidations...
love that cad/chf chart, never traded that pair but that is a nice one to watch

... is the perfect example how brokers are protecting their accounts from "hungry" pip hunters. Different time closure (some of them close even the trading day differently) make this happening.

Decentralisation is the name of the game.

Just try to imagine what happens in the markets if every feed shows the same price action and the whole James16 thread plus associates are jumping onto one or two trades, the poor sods at brokers offices wouldn't win a pack of crisps not mentioning the bread

By the way, I don't know how to draw the broken lines, so sorry for leaving the long cross lines on the chart
Right click the trendline.
Click on parameters tab.
Uncheck the "ray".

This should make the lines short.

i like this pin, iv been hoping it would close as one all aft. 38%, 50 period ema, higher low than the last swing low recent uptrend.Mmm,needs to break through the resistance its lying under(where you have marked on your chart) and i think it could be profitable.
trying to stay awake to place my order!!

I don't trade any 4 hour charts yet, so can't comment on the USD/CAD. (tentatively bearish on it, but no trade. It just looks like it wants to break south to me...)

EUR/CAD
This pinbar is tempting but it's a no-go for me. Reasons:
1. Pinbar quite small compared to last 10 bars.
2. Previous bar was a strong bearish bar. I hate trading a pinbar when it is preceded by a strong bar in the opposite direction. I had a post on this late last week.

I am thinking about the EUR/USD right now. Would have liked a longer pin, but haven't ruled it out yet. Like that it again couldn't stay under 132. Could hit a snag under those bar lows from early this week too...

See chart... forgot to add it.

i like the eu/cad pin myself,reminds me of the yen trades today...major ppz break with retrace.price bounces of the 50% fib and forms a pin bar in an uptrend,just above the ppz.seems nice to me??

good point, i noticed this also,a pretty bearish weekly bar is forming also.but then again pin bars are about trend reversal???
i also see problems above to deal with.mabye a more experienced trader would like to offer an opinion on these pins??
