Hi guys thanks for all your comments.



Hi Han, in my chart they both close lower than the open, although the first one close on the weaker side but it is bigger in size. Both also fighting the same downtrend and trading right into ppz.



Hi Nasir, of...
Is that the only PPZ you have. Share a chart with your PPZ's and I'll happily provide my own thoughts.

Yeah that happens, we're all learning

Anyway I was wasking, that big bear candle you're referring to as 'BEOB' (=BEARISH outside bar). How can it be bearish outisde bar if the candle before it is also bearish? Shouldn't the candle before it be Bullish?
In that case it encompasses the WHOLE prior candle which it cant do now, because both bars are bearish (negative).. understand how I mean?

If not then I have to ask another question. What is the difference between DBLHC and BUOVB?
They both sound to me as a bullish engulfing? (obiously same...
The restrictions of a outside bar (BEOB/BUOB) concerns only the H/L range of both bars, the H/L range of the first bar has to fall within the H/L range of the second bar. The double high or double low bars have two additional restriction concerning the highs or the lows of both bars and the close of the second bar in relation to the low or high of the first bar. Both highs or lows have to match and the close of the second bar must be exceed the low or high of the first bar . Steve Nilson would call them both simply engulfing barpatterns.

The 1.2900 is a key level on the Monthly. What I mean by that is if Price can close below the 1.2900 this month we may see some more bearish movement to the downside . .the Weekly BEOB (if it closes that way) may be the poker tell.

Or if Price stay above the 1.2900 by month's end, we could be in for some more uptrend movement.

Makes sense to you, D.??
Sure does. Thanks for all your input. Unfortunately, I only set the order on Oanda to remain open for 4 hours. There was about a 5 pip difference on my Oanda and FXPRO prices and I missed this entry by about 3 or 4 pips.

However, the positive is I made my analysis based on what I've learned here and over at the PF, made a plan, including keeping the order open for only 4H, and stuck to it. In this case, price did what I suspected it would, just about 2 hours late for me to catch one. There will be lots more opportunities, just gotta be patient and wait for high probability setups.

Hi Guys,

I am looking at the AUD/CAD Long for when market re-opens.

 

  1. With the trend
  2. BRN
  3. With the weekly trend
  4. Pinbar

Needs to break back through the 1.0000 level first. My order would be at 1.0010 and a target of 1.0164.

Any views?

Well stopped out AGAIN on my remaining position, 22 pips on my first 1/2 position though.
I wanted to discuss a trade I took this afternoon which I didn't manage that good. What I saw was a BEOB on the 1H-TF of E-G:
Pros: 1. closed below RNB @ 8700 2. in line with 1H-downtrend 3. engulfing multiple bars 4. off a TL (4th touch)
Cons: 1. Not at a swing high.
My first thought was to wait for a pullback to the 8700 and look for a short-PA on the lower TF for an optimal entry. But I didn't get a clear PA on the 15m-TF at the 8700. My second thought was then to look for a short-PA at previous bar low, at this level I finally got my shorttrigger via a 15m-PB. Entry right after the 15m-PB close @ 8703, SL 5 pips above the 15m-PB high @ 8716. FTA would be of course the low of the 1H-BEOB @ 8683 where I will close 1/2 of my position. Final target would be the floorpivot S2 @ 8668, if price gets there, E-G would also have completed its ADR of +/- 80 pips. So my risk on this trade is only 13 pips and my reward would be 20 pips on the first 1/2 and 35 pips on my remaining position if everthing works out as planned. Well this is what happened: Price reached FTA quite easily and stalled there as expected, I closed 1/2 of my position for a 22 pips profit. I then moved my SL to BE which would be a few pips above RNB @ 8700. I was expecting the 8700 to hold as resistance but it didn't and my SL was hit at BE. In hindsight if I had put my SL a few pips above the 1H-BEOB/TL and had left it there then the trade would have worked out as planned. My risk would then be about 22 pips so 9 pips more than my initial risk. So what I've learned from this trade is that a TOO tight SL might and will screw up an otherwise well planned trade. I already got my optimal entry at a pullback so why then move my SL even lower in order to save another lousy 9 pips !

May the force be with you.

The first thing that jumps out at me is the lower close than open and the somewhat serious downmove the first PB had to fight. It's a PB...

Hey HS.

It is really interesting how it always boils down to what Jarroo taught us!

Always!



EDIT: I drank an awful lot last night in Tokyo but not enough to deter me from analysis.

Wonderful stuff once someone kindly removes the blinkers from our eyes, as Jarroo so kindly did.

Your 1st pin is just below a PPZ - you dont want to be trading into a PPZ you want to be trading away from them. The lower pin was off a third touch off a TL, had divergence and was also in the zone of a larger TF PPZ.

Here are my charts starting with the weekly, then the daily then the 4HR. It's no surprise that the best PA setups occurred in the higher TF PPZ areas.

Just taking a look at Habeeb's newest V5 pivot indicator.

It looks Very, Very good and obviously Habeeb has worked hard on this pivot indicator with the J16 method in mind.

It might be an idea to use this if someone is REALLY having trouble identifying the PPZ, until they get used to seeing them with the pivot indicator.


Great stuff Habeeb.

Not that i was watching this real time ...but to support what you are saying.... even though on my feed the pb was small it had the support of the 150ema on 1st touch of 4H for a move higher.

Try this template. I set the indicator up to show the higher TF pivots.

You can turn off or on the mid levels of any specific TF.

I know a lot of us were looking at the weekly AUD/NZD BEOB and am wondering how this cup & handle pattern figures into it. I mean, the C&H pattern is a bullish pattern while the BEOB is obviously bearish.

Yes, it is. This week has been amazing for me. After more than two years watching charts and still lacking some basic understanding things finally fall into place. I found it a very useful exercise we did last sunday, PB. Maybe we can make this a habit. Thanks for your help and inspiration!

BTW: Tonight I'll gonna party and you stay at home, PB. Did you hear me?

Yes I see what you mean. I agree. I'll stick to the most obvious ones once i get the hang of it.

As for the BUOB, that was my mistake - i meant BEOB. Sorry.
