I took a nice raczekfx type of trade on euro 4h from 50/61.8%fibs / PPZ/ 2bar pin... Working out great so far

Cheers

ha, ha... right on.. Matt
simple, isn't it?

I've been on it as well, along with cable till just before 2PM. (that's when dow reverses on most days). More to come bro, more to come, gap wants to close...

50/61 fibs is a powerful thing, especially when combined with ppz and some other confluence, but people tend to complicate their lives with totally unnecessary stuff...
This is the reason why so many mbas, doctors, dentists and rocket scientists fail in this business (they always will).
Out of my many trading friends, the most successful group is .... farmers.
They know exactly how simple life can be.

Raz, out of curiosity if you don't mind, did you take E/J? I got taken out on that one just barely, had my entry at 137.66, and my stop just past the 61.8. I was playing a retrace of what also appears to be a 2 day pin. Anything obviously wrong with this trade? There was PPZ there and everything. Not a biggy, caught the one last week, just wondering if I did anything wrong? thanks. Heres a pic btw if it helps... futures was at resistance too, but shot past it to the next point I guess.

Hey Alexandra,

Could you post a chart with your thoughts on G/J.?
And your bias on E/U?


Thanks,

Quoting Alexandra
I'm a bull there as well from the weekly on down. One has to respect that bottom on the weekly and the likely new daily highs pending.

The weekly 50 followed by 184 seems prudent. One has to fight off those brewing divergences, though.

Eyes at the moment squarely on E/J and D/J for the PA off solid levels.

Yes, I did, and rode it till around 2PM est.
Stop just above 61 was not good imo, cause we didn't have any confluence. Trading retraces based on just one indicator will kill your account just like divergence by itself. I waited for PA around TL and 61fib (call it forced confluence). I got a pin on 30min and took it with 12ps sl.

Ryan trades IBs with a totally different approach. DIBS "founding father" (Peter Crown) mentioned that there is more to trading IBs than just the rules he described. That's why many people failed with DIBS - purely mechanical approach does not work well.

Perhaps, Ryan's approach can add the angle which could make IBs more profitable (this is off-topic as far as J16 is concerned!!): read his post carefully as he described well what he is looking for with IBs.

DIBS seems to be similar to something called "Big Ben" or "London breakout" -...
There are many different camps about filtering a DIBS trade. And I'm sure Ryan's is with the trend and I agree with that. Looking at the Daily and even the weekly trends are a must.

Also applying higher time frame Price Action, Confluences, etc. discussed on this thread, have made many of my DIBS trades profitable.

Interesting, would of never thought to do that, especially the trendline. Also good points with the one indicator thing. I basically took that trade at that area I mentioned because of the mass divergence on the 5min, and futures level, and what I thought was good PPZ in the 50/61.8 area. Just to clarify, your looking for a good entry with confluence, and also a good area to use as protection for your SL? Your never robotically putting it behind the 61.8? Sorry if these are stupid questions, but they are geniune questions of mine, that I really don't know of the answer thx for the help. Edit: actually I think I get it, thanks again

A classic raczek trade. If you got in at the 61.8, PPZ, etc, level. Then the bearish 2 bar PB confirms your entry. Nice.

On the chart posted below there is a well formed 4hr pin. My question is when looking at taking this as a trade, should I take into account the bar lows to the left indicated by the white circle?

Thanks.

Excellent. A line worth remembering. I suggest printing it and putting it on your refrigerator. The more confluences the better.

Absolutely KF. That's what's probably holding it down along with other previous Highs and Lows.

I remember this happening to me when I first started trading, while watching programs like CNBC and bloomberg. Looking back, wow, what a joke. I was literally just handing my cash away, could of just wrote a check and saved myself stress lol.
