I see 3 possible daily pins. AUDUSD, NZDUSD, NZDJPY.
I've chosen NZDJPY.

Can you go over the reasons why the NZDJPY instead of the AUDUSD and NZDUSD?

Jarroo thank you for your analysis!! I din't even look at monthly. Wow I should learn to do that. I am worried about this consolidation area which you marked on WEEKLY chart, yes it is closed below the highs of it but still kinda in the middle of it. But I hope that is "not recent" consolidation, so maybe price would have less trouble with it.

My main "view" was that this year is just one big range and we are now at the top of this range.

The most amazing thing is that I can now see that this method DOES WORK with stocks!!! Amazing!!!...
When I see a setup on a given time frame I'll always go up time frames to see whats going on up there. The higher time frames provide stronger levels (PPZs, Sup, Res, etc.), other PA formations that may agree or conflict, etc. I'll go down to lower time frames to see how Price is reacting to the levels from the higher time frame setup. ( I probably shouldn't even do that . . .lol)

Just takes some time and study Adiliuos . . . .you'll get there.

Good afternoon Jarroo,

Ok, I tried to express my thoughts on these charts. Honestly I liked them all at first But I need to choose just one, so I went with NZDJPY. Mostly because it is LESS SCARY for some reason which I try to explain on the charts:

Hi Ghous,
I am confused now when you say that this was A+ setup. The PB low was 82.65 and if we keep a 5 pip buffer the entry would be 82.60 and FTA at 82.46. That is 14 pips profit including the spread for a risk of about 45 pips (SL @ 83.05).
Am I missing something here

Cheers

hey N,

It got the A+ badge from me because of it's size, the fact that the nose was protruding away from the vicinity of price action, the fact that it was with the down trend, the fact that it was off the 61.8 fib of the (until then) recent swing, the fact that it broke very hard, the fact that it blew through your 82.46 like butter and because of the fact that it went on to hit the area one should have expected it to make it to.

oooh and did i mention the 83 BRN?

oh man, this is a real shocker for me! You don't do this full time?! Don't get me wrong the shocking I guess comes from the fact that despite the day job you squeeze out so much of your time to push through your price less lessons???

Something is really weird about the guys here at this thread...something really weird in the good sense of the word.

Good afternoon Ghous,
I've drawn another PPZ in your chart which was closer to your entry point, why didn't you take this one into consideration ?http://cdn.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon5.gif

All the PBs are a bit too small in size which is scary and they all are running into traffic. The traffic wouldn't concern me if their size was bigger . . .its all about Space (and location of course) as Mike would say.

If I had to choose one it would be the Aud/Usd PB, it has good supportive levels the .8850 and .8900 with a clear target, .9000.

That's the 42.6 FTA novice was talking about, it was the FTA true and it was on my mind for sure, but then like I mentioned in the previous post price did break through the FTA like butter.

Let's take a closer look at the "broke through like butter phenomena":

Below is a chart that shows the action on the 5 minute. The first red line is the entry point, the other lower one is the 42.6 area that you guys are talking about.

A very obvious characteristic of an A+ setup is that it normally get's backed up by decent order flow - i.e it breaks hard the jarroo way!

There were a good 15 pips to the FTA and even a stop to BE at FTA would still have escorted your trade to the next trouble area which price bounced off and which was also the major trouble area.

Great explanationhttp://cdn.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon14.gif. So you didn't move your stop to BE when price reached the 4260 PPZ ?

If you go back and check i actually was a touch late on the trade, by the time I got to see the pin bar it had already broken and was whistling away to the FTA...I could only watch this beauty unfold from the side lines.

but like I suggested it was one of those sweet cherries that had something on offer for both the conservative as well as the slightly aggressive traders.

Another question about this "hard break" of an FTA. So this means a high momentum bar (large green/red bar) cutting through the FTA "like butter" perceived on a much lower TF (ie. the 15m, 5m or even the 1m TF) ? What I understand until now is that a hard break of the FTA contributes to high probability that the trade on the higher TF will eventually succeed or at least to BE.

May the force be with you,

Yes exactly! When price cuts through PPzs easily it's always a strong indication of the how great the PA setup is.
