I saw references to it on the GBP/USD chart thread but I didn't want to n00b up their intelligent sounding thread.

A chart or two would be apprecaited!

Thanks

Hi GT,

Here's a post of Jim on his thread:

The above is only an example of a pin bar.. If you want to learn other price action tools, you may want to check out the whole thread here:

And if you want to take it to the next level, then you could try the ff:

I know you only asked for the definition of a pin bar, so I think the first link
will suffice.. But if EVER, you want to learn more, then you can check the next two links..

Hope this helps...

Think of a doji candlestick only in a bar. So a nice long bar with the open and close very close together. The place is more significant than the actual placement of the open/close. Imagine an uptrend and the last and highest bar opens and closes near the low of the bar....kind of like giving someone the finger It just sticks out and gives a good probality the trend will change.

Pin bar is really popular but not for beginners, it is especially for the senior traders who are able to predict the real faction of this market with certainly by means of candlestick. According to me , who are able to make profit consistency by using this pin bar trading strategy , only they are professional in Forex.

Pin bars are great signals , but have to be viewed in the proper context and market situation. If understood correctly they are great sign of what is happening.

Pin bar is really most usable and profitable trading strategy than others. But if you want to get maximal result by pin bar strategy you have to be a knowledgeable trader to calculate the candlestick pattern.

Yes, context is the key point, there have so many examples of the false signal on pin bar because of the market context! So, blind trading is always harmful!
