Now your thinking like Rac, find some strong higher time frame PPZ levels then bombard it with confluences that make sense.

If the Cad is turning over to an uptrend then these retracement levels, S/R levels and trendline confluences make sense. Only if we are trending up. Are we?

pin bar off TL break i.e. breakout and pullback...could lead to an early setup for a consolidation breakout too...that would be nice

thanks to all for the response, I had been using S/R levels for my stops in the past, but I see from your 2nd chart I should look further back in time for confermation of those levels. One quick question, do you usually give a few pip buffer past the PBs for entries to reduce fake outs?
Yes, you want to give a buffer on any PA setup. The higher the time frame the more of a buffer you want to give.

You want the setup to prove itself with a hard momentum break. This gives me confirmation that the setup is correct.

Many times a setup won't break or may break by a few pips only to retrace back into the setup. A buffer gives more room for it to move and prove if the setup is working.

What size of buffer do you normally use for a weekly setup?

Between 10-20 pips.

It depends on how the Daily bars (candles) look like prior to the Weekly setup break. Meaning if I have strong big Bullish bars just prior to my Weekly bullish PB I may use a smaller buffer.

will u go short here based on YOUR thought process or because u have a similar thought process as lovejoy's?
if your answer is NO, then u shouldn't short.

u shouldnt trade based simply on what u see here, unless u understand the thought process undergone by the poster or u have a similar thought process as the poster.
remember, we all have different tastes, personalities, risk profiles, thought processes..
trade only if a setup is congruent with your OWN thought process.

spot on supremo, but its frustrating sometimes when you are learning to see others taking good trades which you have not spotted.......but agree with every word you say!! You have to strike a balance using this thread and thinking for yourself.

The 1.0300 is a strong Weekly/Monthly PPZ level as with the 1.0200. The trend is definitely down. I still think that price is going to sniff out that 1.0000. Price sure like running to those BRNs. We shall see.

200 holding nicely and it's looking good on a 4H line chart also. Formed a 1H small lousy pin. lol

Setup for the ej a couple of days ago with a daily PB that found support at 120 which also coincided to the mark with the 78.6 fib retracement, a 10 pip break at 121.70 above the high kept us out of trouble, it was worth the wait and now approaching a double high at within a few pips of 125.20 a break above this level would take us to 127 a very strong PPZ lets see what comes of it ? Stay focused......and good luck all
