I sent you just one non trading related PM. Buy I wouldn't say these setups were not valid. Why is it so difficult to accept that this method gives also losers ?

Alter, to keep it short... if you pick the best setups then you're likely to make money.. And if you're not happy with what this thread teaches, then go find somewhere else to post. You're wasting precios space here.

I'm just asking if you have proof of your statement above or it is just your opinion {plenty of traders who make profits from it}.
What you mean by BS, please?
I've been here 3 months now, and the AUD/USD trade was the first trade I was actually surprised to see fail. Countless other good PA set ups have all done really well. The USD/JPY trade, was not a great PA set up, though it was perfectly fine. I bet any good trader that took it though, was either at B/E at that 96.5 level, or were taking some profits. Sorry if this last comment is in anyway offensive, but, I think is very important for you to realize. I haven't done well myself here, but I have absolutely np taking accountibility for my mistakes. I think it is extremely important to do so while moving forward. If I just chalk every mistake up to bad luck, I'll never learn anything. I will just continue to make the same mistakes over and over until I'm so frustrated, I quit.

I think you need to read my messages closer

Of course there will be losers. I am speaking directly about the 3 trades you called failed trades, and about them. The PM you sent me was directly trade related as it questioned the validity of price action.

Just trying to help

and as a side note my win rate hovers in the upper 60%, while I know traders in the 90%. Doesn't make one more right then the other in terms of profitability. Trade mgmt is an individual thing. Calling any trade failed without digging deeper into the chart first is likely to place blame on the charts, when we need to just keep studying to get better at our business.

Are you talking about the BEOB on the AUD/USD? I wasn't too suprised by that one, if the BEOB had closed below the .7500 level then it would have been a powerful setup. Since it hit the .7500 level and stopped like hitting a brick wall it was a warning sign, plus the short term trend has been in a strong UP TREND.

I ended up not taking a trade on this pair in the end. I figured if I can't decide to just stay out, my bias was to go long.

so my theory is that GU is going to form a superb 4H pin, EU a wonderful BEOB and usd/cad....well that can form a nice pin too (for good measure) and we can all reign in the pips??!! how does that sounds haha

If I may add something to Mikes excellent post.

This USDJPY BUOB was trading into something clearly resembling a bearish head and shoulders pattern.

Good move Personally I noticed that 7500 level, saw the bounce, but thought we would get through there eventually. Was quite a few reasons that made me think this was a good trade. Usually I am trying to play trades more jarroo style, but I thought this one was good enough to warrant holding. Bad mistake, but glad it was only 2 percent. Good time to go to the more normal risk amountage.

BullS**t is what I meant with BS. I can't give you proof but look at the amount of posts this thread has and people posting regularly for years, would that happen if no one was making any money?
Thank you for your opinion.

It really is amazing how some levels are much stronger than others. Respect those PPZ's!

Looks like a nice pinbar on EU. Been waiting patiently as a PA newbie for a setup to come long.
Can you rate it?
Thanks in Advance

No

Look to the left at those bar highs from last week and also in March. You would be trading straight into it. Up trend has been quite strong recently too.
