If I read it correctly, stop loss should be placed just below H/L of pin bar and buy/sell after the break of the pin. Looking on the EU/USD and USD/CHF currently where pin PA may be forming on the daily (I think), the number of pips between SL and potential buy order would be over 150 - is that correct? Just seems a lot

Thanks

I wouldn't play either of those, way too sideways for me but yes you are correct. You would just adjust your position size based on number of pips - otherwise you risk being stopped out because you didn't give it enough room. I wouldn't reduce my stop loss, instead reduce my position size.

Hi,

I would like to know what ur thought process was just looking at the trade. Could u pls explain?

Thanks

Chaos did the job well,

just to add in...

We ideally want our Ibs to be near the top of the range of the mother bar for short and near the bottom of the range of the mother bar for long...this provides the trade with some initial space and allows quick profit taking. Eur?cad was a great example of such a setup...in addition to all the confluence factors Chaos was kind enough to mention...

charts to follow...

How do you guys highlight the pivot zones on your chart in MT4????
Many choose unhappiness over uncertainty.

Benji,

something similar here. EUR/USD is approaching the 50%-61% fib retrace, with PPZ and round number - and we are just before the FOMC statement (at 11:15 New York time) - I am tightening my stops.

I would stay in given the fact that the gold is breaking new all time highs - not good for the dollar.

On the daily chart that area is right off the uptrenting long term trend line and off a clear 4H PPZ.

ON the 15min there is a clear support forming by a triple bottom + PA (BUOB) + DIV.

I check the div on a closed line chart and there you can see that during that time touched less or more the same line of support while the RSI was trending up hardly. That is how I measure div.

Or I am misunderstanding you buddy

Happy you are making pips

Basically for trailing stops, all I see is a minor round number confluenced with a major PPZ. That is a good enough sign for me to start folding up.

I'm quite dumb if you going to talk about gold, dollar, correlation, news, whatever....I do not much know|understand|care about these a chart is a chart

hi benji, your not misunderstanding me mate i was just pointing out for the newer traders here that your prices are flat at best(which is div. but pretty weak((for me at least))and in fact they look to be rising slightly along with the rsi. divergence yes but as i said its pushing the boat out a little. for me at least.good trades though bro, your gonna go far
cheers
jon

ok I got you. That is the way I look for div anyway.

The only trades I took on my real account are those I have posted here. Firstly I am very busy now days, so I don't have time to stay at home or monitor my live trades closly - So I am abit afraid leaving real money on the table while I'm not here. In addition, I have decided that I am going to trade only a certain setup that had the highest win rate on my demo trading. That way I can build my account slowly but safely, and after period of time I can start trading more aggressive setups with profits only

And thanks for the kid words bro

Nice

That 5m pin with div would have done the job too. Also nice touch on the 4hr support.

I got out at +20 for 2R, impatient me!

Hello Hunri,
since ghous is most likely offline, i'll try to explain, if i may.
looking at his chart, u can see a 'confluence trade':
TL (trendline) + 1.5900 round number + 61.8 fib retracement + RSI divergence + trade based on break of IB (inside bar; red line)
ideally, we take setups with several/many confluences stacking the odds in our favor.
blue horizontal line is his expected initial problem/traffic area.

simple, isn't it?
ThanKs Guys its real simple. Except that the RSI does not seem to diverge with the direction of the price.
