Hi Jim,

I think bollinger bands are great with pin bar, If the nose is at the bollinger band this is a great trade.

thanks
what do you set yours at fx and do you like to see the tail protrude thru the bb or just touch it? jim

Yup, I use them too with standard settings, but with Stochastics. Took 15 pips again on gold today. I know it could've been more, but I'll get the hang of this market soon.

Thanks for your answers and examples James & crew.

I know the launch is only weeks away but I think I warm up with another question or two on pinbars, that way I can start to get in the right mindset during Christmas.

James, in the case of this last USD/CAD pinbar. When you say you play the retrace do you mean the retrace between the High of the first bar in the pinbar set up to the low of the second bar (nose), and if so at which level?

Also, what are profit levels? Has anyone found a relationship such as the move will go at least the length of the nose or 80% of the nose, etc.

Thanks and if I should wait until the official launch for these questions just let me know.

I'll go look at past data and keep my eyes open for new ones to demo

Have a good weekend!

we have great stuff here. Confluence, weekly pin bar and bullish divergence on weekly charts, great entry. I entered yesterday and still keeping position, I want correction towards 1.19 let's see what happens, USDCAD is most trending pair, if we have correction here it would be huge one.

fx is playing this in his own way which is fine. if you want to play this a bit more conservative play a buy stop around 1620 to 1625. remember this is the weekly chart and a position trade with the bottom of the pin 200 pips away.

great stuff habeeb, who are you trading with?
I've got live accounts with Global Trader (futures markets) and GCI Trading. The first broker sucks, but I'm using them to practice on higher time frames because their spreads are quite big and the platform doesn't always move with the charts. The second broker is quite nice, since I can trade quite a few markets with them (Forex, Crude oil, Gold, Silver, Dow Jones Industrials, Nasdaq, S&P500, Dax30) on the same platform, no commission and their spreads are small. The only thing I don't like is their charts.

The Gold chart above is from http://www.orionbrokers.com . It's the same as MetaTrader4. I've just seen that they've got oil charts too (cl6f, cl6g).

Enjoy the weekend

Thanks Jim,
I entered at 1516 and still keeping open position. My entry was based on daily pin bar. now we have weekly too. No problem I will place stop at 1430 which is 80 pips. I think it worth risking this amount. Then I will look at right eye formation.

Oil is coming too so fundamentals are on my side too.

Hi Jim,
need to borrow some experience from you. Hope you don't mind. I've entered long on Gold again (yup, finding it alot of fun). Acording to the chart it looks like a good one. Alot of confluence there ... big pin, 2 trendlines converging on the nose (forgot the term you use), 38% fibo, price bouncing off daily pivot.

We've reached a high of $540, then the price came tumbling to $492 but the week still closed above $500. To me it looks like last week was a retrace, and that this week we'll see a retest of the high. Do I wait for this, or do I pull the trade at the Daily R2. Is this a valid conclusion? Sorry, my charts don't have enough history.

Thanx
Habeeb

Jim, got other option for non-PayPal country ? Thank you in advance
wow firedave i am honored that you would give us a look. i have tried for two days to get hold of support at EMOCORP which should solve any paypal issues for some people. i have signed up but i dont even think that was necessary. if i am understanding thier system correctly all you have to do is open an account with them and you can simply email payment to my address which is [email protected], it will arrive to me as a printable money order. this issue for some of you is just another bug i need to work out, thanks to everyone for your trust and patience. jim

I just spoke with emocorp and i was correct. all you need to do is open an account with them and you can email payment its that simple. fijitrader told me about them early on and as usual i should have listened to him. if all goes well i may switch to them for all transactions. old fij man, the guy knows something about everything. i know eastmeals needs another option and now firedave. someone give it a try. jim
