I think this is a good breakout trade setting up, a good looking wedge / flag / triangle.
Or you could trade it as a break of last weeks Boss inside bar.

Strat has said this before but GBPJPY is a beast, if you are new-ish then you might want to halve your risk when you start trading it.
Hey elitejets, I have a question on your recommendation. First of all, I appreciate your insight so my asking is just that, only asking.

I have my DSRI in blue, your TL in yellow and SR in green.

If it closes today having broken my DSRI, I had still not planned on trading it because of support at 148.38. I see that matches up with your TL so that makes sense. However, what if it had broken your TL on the close but was still above support had it been lower. Would you still have played the TL break of the triangle? I may have the wrong support line drawn too though. Just wanted to know how you were looking at the trade.

In my earlier trading days, I traded hanging man candles (along with others) and was profitable many times. Unfortunately, I lost more than I made trading these candles.

After “my” light bulb moment, I spent hours, days, weeks, months, years (and still do), studying charts and the information on them. Long story short, I proved for myself that hanging man candles were very unreliable as price reversal bars and were nothing more than “warning” candles. For each hanging man that reversed PRICE, I could find one or maybe more where it didn’t and PRICE continued in the trend direction.

If you want a recent example of this, then go to the same Worker GBPUSD chart and look at October 16.

Yes, I’m a blinkered Shire Horse pulling carts of ale through the streets of York and as such I know nothing about price action which is why the thread is now yours.

Hopefully you will correct all the mistakes I have made. Good Luck!

This is quite wrong ,I have given the criteria for you to be wiser as to what is truly a hanging man and you will be wiser for it
The original,poster was absolutely on the right track.

Ace - you couldn't have 'known' that price was going down; not if you read/watch Mark Douglas- all you have is an indication of a repetitive pattern giving you an 'edge'. Hanging Man candles are an indication of the bulls running out of steam as seller have stepped in to drive the PA down; the bulls have then stepped back in and driven price back up, giving you the hanging man.

These candle's are not good set-ups IMO. They give an indication of possible moves afoot but I wouldn't trade them as a set up. They always form within price boundaries...

Hanging Men - they are aptly named - as most hang most men out to dry!!
Remember, on the day they would have been seen as the right most bar on the chart. Hindsight is wonderful of course!

Hanging Man
Discussion

The hanging man candlestick is a popular one, but one that shows lousy performance. In theory, it is supposed to be a bearish reversal but it actually is a bullish continuation pattern 59% of the time. The best performance that it can muster is after a downward breakout in a bear market. Price drops an average of 3.60% in 10 days, ranking it 59 for performance. That is just mid list. Outstanding performance would be a move of 6% or more.

There goes your trendline, I hope you are in
Yep it got punched out rather sharply...

I have a small position now...I didn't have a position going into the day with the TL and news risk...I plan to add another small unit on any retrace...

In entering that TL break what do you think the best approach is?
Hope is not a trading strategy

Thank you Strat for the cold shower, I really needed that! You were ABSOFLUGGINGLUTELY right I was looking for trades instead of patiently waiting to see them!

Triggered by the loss on EURGBP, I wonder what would I have done if I was trading lower timeframes... This is one of the big advantages of large timeframes, you have time to cool off until a new potential trade arrives.

Will get back in my hole now to review parts of the thread and internalize them.

Have a nice day/evening/night everyone!

I am only at page 67 so I dont have that much knowledge of PASR. Will read on...to me right now tough....a trade of profit 200 pips is a realy good trade.

Maybe I just need to change the way i think and look for losses i can afford then how much profit I make on each trade.
