Check out the pinbar for a short entry on the GBPUSD 4 hour. An easy 90 pips and a 3 pip spread.

I need a few more monitors. 2 X 24 inchers are just not enough.

Nice what do you do on that one A ther was a M15 pin to go short on which would have gotten you in just in time for a 40 pip retrace
or do you wait for price to pullback as in trust the pin and enter when it went back to 5450
My problem is that I see the pin but I then regard the retrace as failure rather than an opp to get a better price

Masoud.

Your method probably is not working due to the savage trend. So don't use it in a trend. Find something that suits you in such conditions and use that or stay out until you get favourable conditions.

You cannot fit a square peg in a round hole. (Unless the peg is smaller than the hole).

A is right Masoud hes obviously a lot older and wiser than us boys
I used to use indicators and I tended to be blinded from seeing the charts I still miss stupidly obvious things even now but price and the mas will do me
saying that candles arent always right look at eu 4 hours ago on M15 all those wicks would indicate that price was going to change direction but it didnt

Not sure I fully understand but Ill have a go.

Many ways to paly them.

Firstly I would not enter on the 15 min time frame. 1H is the lowest I would consider on a serious trade.

Generally I will wait for a retrace to approx 1/3 to 1/2 the PB before entering. This will get you your better price so to speak. Also gives you time to access the bar and price action. That works for me on the higher time frames as the retrace can be significant pips. On the lower TF it may not be worth it pip wise.

Remember you can never consistently nail the best price. Just as exiting is discretionary so is the entry.

The other problem you have is that if the bar breaks strait away you miss the entry alltogether.

On the higher time frame I don't generally go lower than the hourly in any case. Tonight I am simply practicing some variations.

Hope this helps.

thanks makes sense
my problem is that I tend to regard the retrace as continuation of previous direction rather than an opportunity to get a better price for the impending change

Good, you say right, lower time frame are very noise and very risky but High time frame for a scalper is like yearly TF for you

Hey Francis.

Absolutely correct my friend.

They do fail.
That one to me did not look too bad. But then again look at the next bar. That next bar was an inside PB on my feed. The bar after that was also an inside bar. The next bar broke to the high side. At that point you would have given it away but still watch like a hawk as something was up. The next bar was a PB and then it worked as it would be expected.
To be on the safer side I believe it is best to wait for the bar to break before entering but I also like the challenge of tweaking the entry. There are always trade- offs with each approach.

The thing is we are paid to wait. (Famous Quote). All setups will fail. It is the number of times they don't fail that makes them worth playing.
Just to repeat. I trade Daily time frame price action with the 4H and 1H used to tweak the entry if I'm confident I can do so. (My live account is used for this exclusively).
I am here playing the 4H - 1H and the occasional scalp with my Demo account. It's good practice.
Hope this helps

Take the micky out of the old guy. Geeeeeeeeeeeeeez.

Anyway I dont want a wheelbarrow. I'm thinking of one of the US SUV's or maybe a HumV.

That should do it.

And by the way. Who let the boss back in.
