This PB was not an A setup because of the lows right ?

This PB was not an A setup because of the lows right ?
Hey Atton,

That isn't a pin bar it's an outside bar. An outside bar completely engulfs the previous bar with a close in the top third (bullish) or bottom third (bearish) of the bar.

A pin will have a nose sticking out one side but it won't have any part of it sticking out the other side (in relation to the previous bar).

This bar is after a nice run down creating a swing low, and that's where we look for outside bars. You identified the lows correctly as the first area of trouble and this is where IMO you'd have to go to BE or take profit. I'd also take into consideration where the bar is in the bigger scheme of things. Is it at a daily/weekly PPZ? Is it at a 50-61.8 fib retracement of a clear swing? Is it hitting the 150 or 365 EMA? The more of these factors that line up for us the better. Because bars are only the triggers. What we are really trading is location.

And by the way, you're dead right about the pin on GU. It wasn't a perfect setup by any means for exactly the reason you listed. Small bar, PPZ nearby. We simply can't judge a setup by its results, because plenty of mediocre bars take off, and some A+ setups fail. I wouldn't call GU a slam dunk by any means, but a less than A+ setup which, when played tight (stop quickly to break even) yielded rewards. Don't think of it as an A+ setup because of how far it ran. Not taking it was a very sensible play.

Hey Atton...
Hi Tia,
yeah it really is an OB it was just too late in the night when I saw it.Excuse me for my mistake.The location was indeed very good but we had about 10 pips free space to the first trouble area which was the lows as we know. So probably I dont have the required experience or skills to trade it correctly but I wouldnt even take it. Thats my opinion.

Good Luck

Hi Ben,
whats up ? I would probably move my stop to BE when the price hits or is near the red line. What did you do in that trade. I am pretty sure you have taken it.

Yep, that is how you use your PPZ knowledge
Reversal trades will ALWAYS have a kind off PPZ or traffic in the way, by their nature. But if you are trading off a solid support area, at a swing point, with a great bar, the odds are with you.

Umm...I tend to limit my reversal trades on lower TFs to round numbers. If the round number was a few pips lower, the pips were in my bank...but it doesn't belong to what James16 is teaching...only my personal thing

ghous,
i think some parts are below sea level. some areas are just reclaimed land.
3 storms this month aggravated the situation, by super-saturating the soil (soil has been holding water from the 3 previous storms). add to that the fact that rainfall yesterday was supposed to be the amount of rainfall for the whole month.

Maybe this is Mother Nature's way of awakening many of our People to change their ways.

Thank you & Thank you all.

That's absolutely terrible - I saw it on the news earlier, and the scenes were just incredible.

Hi there ezz.First I wanna say : do not take my opinion too serious .
This weekly PB may make you some pips. But I think we should look for better opportunities called A+ signals. On the E/U chart we have only PB and that is all. We dont have even divergence showing that the trend is weakened. Also the PB's body is too small to provoke big retrace. I personally think that it will retrace to the high if the price breaks the low of the bar but like I said I wouldnt risk my money on this maybe C trade ?

From my huble point of view it's look like an indecision bar.....and just below the "Pin Bar" you have a strong PPZ,it means your Risk:Reward is less then 1.
For me no....you could wait for a better one.

Hope for Senior to support my answer.

Thanks Benem for comment. I am new to this forum, so what does PA mean?

I also noticed some PB on Globex (CME), weekly charts. One very nice on CHF, 1 small on EUR. And one kind of DB - OB on Dollar index.

Hi, what do people think about this pin (I know it is a day old) but has not been broken yet in my view.

If I were to play this I would enter on abreak above 1.2119 PPZ area...with first target the cluster of bar low and round number PPZ - 1.2200. I would put initial stop at the first eye low and round number of 1.2000.

If I were to play this trade, the new bar open would be 10pm tonight GMT and thus the trade could reach first PPZ area for example when I am asleep. How do others manage trades where the daily bar closes and thus analysis and entry orders can be triggered overnight? I would prefer to watch a trade and thus move stop to b/e at the first real opportunity.
