uh oh

Toshi - Indeed, well noted. The weekly/daily construction makes me believe we may linger a while up here. Time will tell.
I have found it easier to do your analysis on the TF you are going to trade on, sure zoom out to get the bigger picture, but to be trying to line up all the timeframes will lead to analysis paraylsis. Keep it simple

Just rolled in from the river summers already here in AZ, checkin the charts for those short look at that monthly candle sweet eh!

OMG! Are we sharing a trade? I better re-evaluate! LOL - No, seriously, the E/J target is in the 140's if things hold post-holiday. Yes, that is a stock predication too, apparently.

In all post-Holiday seriousness, that series of charts is would make a good PA synopsis for this thread for anyone who attemps to synthesize longer term timeframes.

I'm not sure I can tolerate another sink through 131 - I am tired of that nonsense, so I hope (Oh Gosh - that word!) that the base is built.

hey k

If you look to the left of the bar price is very choppy and this pin is not in space. So when we have this especially on the hour timeframe we have traffic. Now the even bigger reason to not take this trade was the major holiday in the US. This is a good time not to trade as most of the action wont be there.

I think you'd do best to learn about PPZ's (Price Pivot Zones) first, then move onto bar shapes.

But do it on a daily timeframe.

Yes. Perhaps, a pinbar pierce through important price level is better.

That one didn't fail. It stopped at the first place you would expect.

If it was a daily chart, think of how may pips that move would have gone before it reversed.

On the 1Hr charts etc, be very weary of how much room the trade has to go before entering. And remember you have to take spread into account.

hey

Again be careful here k. This is what will hurt new traders on these low timeframes. Make sure to read james' first post it is very important. This is a very slow time in the markets. Trading a small pin like that is just not smart IMO. But again it bounced at multiple bars low as expected. But time of day alone should keep you out of this one.

A look at the daily shows you a long term resistance point there...fade it....but don't be greedy. Better yet, wait for a sale!

Thanks a lot. Now I understand why people keep saying not to trade H1.
