Attached is an updated indicator with one bug fix and one alteration. The indicator is now pickier on the setups. For example, it ignores pinbars where it deems the nose to be too short.

Lastly, if you have questions, comments or suggestions, PM me.

Love the indicator Scott. I've looked at a lot of PA indicators and this is the only one that consistently recognises price action (as properly defined) and searches the lower time frame. Well done!

Hey Ryan, glad you posted that! I am in the same situation now. I have been trading for about 1 year now and sort of at break even can't seem to pull out ahead and I am not loosing either. I am racking my brain trying to figure out what the hell is going on here.

It seems that when i pick a trade i take it to the next support/resistance level and then i exit. Usually that is about 1:1 RR plus or minus a few points here and there.

And from what i have seen so far it looks like i need to target at least 2:1 OR improve my winning percentage. I don't know which one is more doable so far.

I guess JIM really had a point when he said let the market take you out and trail your stops when in a profitable position.

Would appreciate any comments!

It goes back to the 1st 2 people I had as montors, they got a nice run up 1997 - 2000, the other one could trade great just not his own money

Mentor #1 took 64k and made over 8 million, Derick Lenord watch a wade cook video he's on it making 145k in one day off dell options, well he was in the right place at the right time and now is broke and in jail. I posted the deal before.

Mentor #2 Showed me a lot of price action such as Wave's Fib's and a setup called the Gartley 222 butterfly that was very nice. He is still great at TA just can not...

I hope you people can help me out here....
Again you are gonna find different people doing different things, but I am in agreement, I would have a ton of trouble trading right into that 1.65 area. That would make me very nervous.

You need to speak to Mike. I swear that guy has only had 14 hours of sleep so far this year.

And the little *&^%*^ still looks young and fresh.

If I don't get my 8 hours I look like something out of Dawn Of The Dead

What do YOU think.

You can be helped better if we hear your thoughts and why you'd take the trade.

(Then MBQB11 will find 50 reasons not too... )
LOL I think I get some people mad when I always say the reasons not to trade

But on this one, see how low that close is. Yes technically a pin cause open and close in the other bar. But that bar just looks to bearish to get to excited about for me.

No one get mad

I almost did last time, some drunk chick was hitting on me with her husband right next to her.

Last time I lost $8 and it pissed me off LOL, I hate knowing I am going to lose but I want to learn how to play a little. I feel like a retard not having a clue what I am doing.

Craps is hella fun, just find someone who is doing well and back their bets. You either make a ton fast, or lose your shirt real fast. Either way you can get drunk after
