Here is probably the most interesting one for me, but the large bearish moves will keep me sidelined.

Mike
That's funny I was thinking the same exact thing, if I would take one it'd be this one, but I just don't like the size of the bar enough. I'll take that as an indicator of my progress in pickiness!

Mike, thanks for sharing your charts, videos, and opinions on what good bars look like.

Hi Whiz,

Could you teach me how to set an alert?
Is it to your cellphone or is it an alarm will trigger in your trading platform?
Thanks

CY
Sorry for my late response. Yes MT4 actually has an alert function. But I do not use only that. I also use a free service which sends alerts to my mobile phone once a certain price level is reached. I also receive quotes to my phone 3 times a day. I don't know if my posting this website on here will be looked at as spam so maybe via PM.

Guys,
Another Newbie here.
I am seeing alot of potential pin bars here all on the daily graphs.

eur/usd, gby/jpy, gby/chf, eur/jpy, usd/jpy.

Are these the setup we look for?
Are these tradable?
They are close to what we look for.

Many are too small compared to the previous bars and the strong down move they have to over come.

Some of them could be at a deeper swing low, meaning they are not at a level that would provide Space, preferably at a 50% Ret. or Fib Ret. that is confluencing with a PPZ level. Not much Space means more traffic to fight through.

I'm not saying that they are not tradable, I'm saying they are not an A+ setups. A+ would have a much better size, confluence and location which these are lacking. Let me put it this way, a very picky J16 trader would call them untradable and move on and wait for a better setup.


That being said, out of all them I do like the Daily Eur/Jpy PB.

What is critical when thinking about taking a setup like this is James16's "This is Critical"

Which is in line what Mike had said recently :
Quoting mbqb11
Nicely done here LJ

The key I am always thinking no matter what type of bar or location is to always be trading AWAY from the PPZ rather then into them. That has saved me the most over the years. Makes it much more difficult to manage into them.

Best
Mike
The PPZ level, 125.00 BRN, is the key level.

Not sure what looking at on the Gbp/Chf. But the Weekly BUOB hit its target nicely as predicted.

ghous, since you're the master of IPBs (we could call them ghous bars like the Dale doubles ) , what do you think about the IPB on gold IF its going to close like this? imo it has good chances to go to 1140.00 at least...

it would be nice to see it go like the one on oil from just a few days ago... i know that that one on oil had more space so it was more tradeable (hope that you dont mind if i use your word nassir )

Hey PPfx,

A question to you here. Would you ever trade this as a pin bar at a swing low or at any other favorable bullish location?

What you must not forget is that IPBs are basically pin bar setups. So for a bar to qualify as an IPB it must first qualify as a tradeable (Nasir's rights reserved) pin bar by virtue of it's shape.

Both the bars you highlighted are mere indecision bars frequently refereed to as Dojis...you want one wick to extend far more than the other to give it that "pin barish" look.

To answer your question I wouldn't trade these for the reasons mentioned above. Gold's just poked 1140 BRN and might as a pullback to it help your bar work out but then clearly the risk on this one is beyond my appetite.

cheers.

Hi FXNumen!

In my opinion and according my other lmt orders its pretty clear. Nice position due to fibo, 365EMA, good space - not the best but at least some possibility to manage at least BE. To my risk apetite its worth to watch it even trade it, but it depends on everyone's skills and decision. Good luck!
My 2 cents. Though I can't comment on the quality of the pin bar( leave it to Mike and other seniors), shorting here is against the daily trend.

Based on my charts as long as the price holds above 1.060, long term uptrend is in place.

Is this a pullback to the breakout of the double top on the daily?

Yes, its what you can look for.

A break through the 125.00 and then Price retraces back to the 125.00. We then look for bullish PA at the pullback.

Ghous i was searching your IPB posts but i can't see you stating the exact size you need for an IPB comparing to it's previous bar. or is it discretionary (feeling)???

Looking at OIL daily, The size is pretty small but still the upper wick also is pretty long. There are also side to side IPB's in 4h.

P.S: How do you trade Daily bars. I mean the daily bar close very late here in our country. Do u stay awake for it?
.
I am the conventional type Nasir. I sleep early and then wake up early at about 5-6 am in the morning, take/manage trades and then go back to bed if uni's late that day or else I just take my bath and head for uni.

Abt the size of IPBs, I like'em long and big just like you'd like a pin bar. However I don't look for the longer wick to exceed the previous bar but then the IPB itself needs to be considerably large compared to the bars prior to it.

As a classic example look at the daily gold bar and compare it with the aud/chf weekly IPB I described in my "intro to IPBs" post.
