Good approach, don't forget (big) round numbers they are also important confluence points.

I advice you to use bollinger bands (especial with ct pinbars).
Just used round numbers This is example of good setup ( USD/CHF M5) but bad management Nice pin, double bottom, pierced round number, divergence. Overal trend was sideway, maybe a little bit uptrend. Unfortunately I closed trade on daily pivot, because PA had huge trouble (on M1) to cross it .. it was rejected few times. Next time I should leave computer and go for a beer

How hard is it to wait for the momentum to build and then roll with it ladies and gents? Just poppin in to say hi and see how everybody's doin.

If you wait for the momentum to build a bit before placing trades, I could almost guarantee a 70%+ gain rate unless you're acting like a doofus and placing bad trades when you shouldn't be.

Hey how's it goin Jajo? Here's an example of a countertrend pin piercing the outer bollinger bands. Typically, you like to see divergence on these setups and a pin piercing through the BB or already surpassed the BB. That's how I run them anyway, I don't know about anybody else.

It's the pin under the red arrow BTW.

Edit! Shoot! That's an hourly chart, although it's the same deal with the 5 minute. I looked at that and thought I was looking at the 5 minute. In reality, they are one in the same. I'll post a 5 minute chart up for ya though, that's my bad.

Here's one on the 5 minute chart. It's not a pin bar, but what is this?! What could this possibly be?! Put those two bars together and voila, it's a ten minute pin! lol

Have a good one ladies and gents!

it's all about waiting for a big breakout and waiting for an eventual retracement. Vast majority of the time you'll get a pin or outside bar around the mid BB/21 EMA that's a slam dunk trade.

If you hit that nail on the head any harder, I'm pretty sure it would explode.

Peace!

mike,
for my learning purpose, what made you believe there was momentum at the 1st arrow? (i could probably see it for the 2nd arrow).
it seems to me it was still stuck in the ~3 hour sideways.
thanks.

Hey dhh, how's it goin? Honestly, it's just because I've seen it so many times. I know that when price starts to push away a bit and the 50/20 start to separate as well, price is on the move. Does that happen every single time? No, but for the most part it does. I wait for those moves as those are my high probability setups. When everything is still mumble-jumbled together, I leave it alone and wait.

I hope that helped and if not, I'll try to clarify a bit more.

yes it helps. if i may, it comes with screen time.
if you don't mind, you mentioned 50/20, what is the 3rd MA?
thanks as always.

i'm hanging in there: some wins some losses. my emotions are better controlled now.

Nice! That's the first step to profitability IMO is controlling your emotions. They are always going to be there, it's just how you react to them that creates a success or failure.

The third MA is a 10 EMA. I use this when we get into faster moving trends. Price will often find support there and keep moving forward without reaching the area of the 21 in a fast move. Without it, I was just watching these moves fly by me and I wasn't capitalizing on them nearly as much, if at all, which was a royal pain in the butt lol

And you're definitely right, experience is everything. If I were to tell you roughly how many hours of my life that I spent studying, watching the charts, and testing, you'd probably call me crazy lol

Quoting oneuniverse
Hello to all newones and experienced....

I want to thank Jankone and Ryan for their invaluable inputs! In fact I am reaping the fruits of this Methodology to a great extent!

With proper Time period and understanding of this method, almost 80% hit rate is achieved in the long term.

My fav setup here is

CT ( read very carefully below or u will burn ur hands easily)

Time : London open to LO close

For Buy setup
1) Double Bottom formation
2) Price should not close below the low of first bottom before or after the Pin is formed...

I'm not a counter-trend trader, but I believe, that Oneuniverse actually made a very nice and helpful observation.. attached is an example from today on E/U m5
