Hey Mike you like BEOB's at BRN's???

(If it could close below the BRN.)
.
Hey Nas

I do, but I would have needed more info then just engulfing 1 prior bar. i would want to see a story. Obviously never closed below and bounced off the BRN though

Best
Mike

I took a full bar loss on this weekly crude pin.

lesson learned: wait for a larger break over a BRN when price is heading at one.

luckily my wheat trade will keep me way in profit for the week on futures

Your going to have to give me more information than that Hans.

Where is that PB located? BRN? PPZ level? Or both?
What's its size as it relates to preceeding bars?
Is it at a swing High or Low?
Does it have a lot traffic?
Does it have any confuences that support it? Or confluences going against it?
Is it at a retracement level?
Is there conflicting PA on higher time frames? Or does it agree with higher tiime frame PA?
What is it trading into?

Etc.
Hello Jarroo, I was just thinking out loud after I saw some pretty small dojis on 4hr charts (@ swing highs/lows, PPZ, etc.) that worked like a charm. But then again I have found many counterexamples. So nevermind.

Thanks for your help
Hans
Thanks J16, Sam Seiden, Udine and Jacko

i took the weekly BUOB on the retrace at 93.00 cause it had a nice ppz area around it + its a RN
seems it was a good take since it catapulted up just when touching the 93.00 area


i also took this one (same strategy as the one above), but it wasnt moving so nice like the UJ so i closed it all at the FTA

Hey Mike, just been checking out your vids in the guest section of J16 -I never realised you were such a breakout player!!!

Seems to me that "J16 teaching" really boils down to 2 method foundations: either see a good PA bar anywhere, then look for reasons to trade/not trade in terms of location, confluence etc... OR the other method is wait for good PPZs to break, pullback and then give PA (mainly pins by the look of it) to give a very high prob entry.

After watching your vids, I see you drill down timeframes to look for pins/PA upon a larger timeframe PPZ breakout (in on vid you had 4hr PPZ break long on the Swissy with a 1hr pin on the pullback).

If I may ask: in your very valid opinion, are these A+ breakout setups generally more reliable/profitable than the "other" (and more popular itseems) J16 method of "PA spotting"?

well on a weekly chart, we are in a strong down trend, and have been for a very long time.

this retracement has been real slow, and 61.8 is my favorite fib, I also love vbrn.

the only thing that is ballsy here is my 50 pip stop. a 100 pip stop would be much "safer" but I'm not scurred. I like this one a lot.

You may want to take those bullish PBs at swing lows. .shame on you.

As a continuation PB, risky but tradable but never a full bar loss.

I would also note, that when I'm not ballsy, I cancel amazing trades after too much thinking
