Suffered the failed pin on USCHF this week.......does PA work when markets are very volatile?
It could've been better if the wick had touched 1.5. It has stopped making new highs now with daily IBs forming at 1.5. Keeping an eye on it.

Thanks. Nice to know.

By the way, does anyone sees bottom here or is it only me? I don't want to miss the bus, but I don't want to get caught because of a cheese either... dilemma between trusting what i see and what i think. There could be a retrace for a 2nd chance to long, there could be no retrace and I miss the ride, there could be a fakey... Sigh~

So I should have trusted what I see. I missed this 700 pips ride, oh well...

Double pin close above 1.65 long for scalp in trafffic
Look where price went
Good observation Atc

now compare gbpchf with eurchf (& even eurgbp) on H4... & see the difference (gbp is weaker than eur)

What do you think...still demoing inside bars.

Looking for short...break of previous bar
Pro
Trade away from BRN
Divergence

Cons
Going against trend
would rather play break of consolidation with retrace to go short
FTA ---not much room to move lower without hitting 1st trouble area

So no trade

Hello bertie,
it has been mentioned here many times before:
we dont go on trading every PA setup there is.

PA form/shape/size, location & trend are important.
imho, the latter two are more important -- u cant ignore them when considering taking on setups.
when markets are volatile, we have to be more strict & picky when it comes to trade choice & management.
if we perceive the market is too whippy &/or unpredictable, as much as possible we stay out. in times like these, there are a lot of money to be made & at the same time a lot of money are lost/profits pulverized. the latter happens much much more often.

Hope this helps

Just Exited my USD/CAD Position.

I bought at the yellow arrow due to the break of the pin bar on daily. I exited at 1.07 which has been heavy resistance in the past.

I must say this is so important ___Location, Trend, are so Important___the Candles/Bars IMO are triggers/signals___Divergences,Fibs,etc. are the supporting evidence that adds to your arguement.

Phew......Got my head back on in a semi straight direction after Once Again, Chasing the illusive PPZ indicator.

I don't know what is going on, maybe lack of confidence in my PPZ even though Jarroo and others have been incredibly supportive and encouraging.

More than likely, it is a lack of confidence in myself which I could possibly be making a subconscious excuse that the problem is my PPZ, then I run off all over the web looking for the holy grail indicator, even though I know full well, PPZ can not be drawn effectively by an indicator because of the nature of PPZ, sometimes they act as S&R sometimes PA plows right through them.

Anyway, I treated myself by watching all the J16 videos, and managed to get my charts back to simply round numbers so I can see what price is doing then manually draw in hot spots at or around confluence with fibos and RN.

Phew.....Sorry to keep harking on this subject folks but I think possibly I seriously underestimated the psychological side of things.

At this stage, it is amazing that my account is still in profit, I am also wondering if a small loss at this stage would be better than a reasonably large win.

It is Friday so, I will not be trading live today but, I still want to keep my eye on things and try to get the better of not the market but Myself.

Hi jim, may i know wat setup you look for on this trade u took. Izzit the PB? Cos i am thinking the left eye is too near to the nose, so not sure if it is still a vaild pin.

Sorry I forgot to mention the formation, it was from my ealier posts. Its a Double Inside Bar, darn close to a Triple Inside Bar.

Quoting jarroo
Double Inside bar on the 4 hour Gbp/Chf. Heading back to the 1.65 . .if we can get pass this bump in the road. Free trade at the 1st target in green ( the bump in the road).
Quoting jarroo
I like the 1.65 because it lines up nicely with the 50% ret level, could be due for a ret after such a strong move upward. My risk is covered (free trade) so I'm not worried about it.

Thanks for the example, Jim. The GBP/JPY trade didn't work out.
Cheer up buddy. They may not of worked out pip-wise but they did work out on the experience you gained from them. Which I can tell you is worth 10,000 pips!

So the next time you see a strong move over a course of a few days and a relative small size PB is presented, you'll know what to do. Pass. . . its that simple. Even if it works out and goes to the moon.

But it you do decide to trade it, you'll know that weight of the move is going against you. That a tight and/or small stop loss, a move to break even quickly or quick target then I'm out, etc., . . it a good option to take.

But the picky traders know what to do right away because they know better setups are right around the corner . . "easy pass for me".
