No problem tritan,

buob = bullish outside bar.
I would recommend reading up on price action on the james16 thread.
Good luck.
Thanks bez. Slowly working my way through the J16 thread (thre's a lot as you'll know ).

Dan,
Great thread, I just found it.
Did you read books (like Victor Sperandeo) during your first 3 years?
Hi rac,

No I didn't really read anything. I've had a skim through a couple of PDFs but I felt that getting involved and trying to trade would be a better use of my time. Once I had learned the basics of technical analysis (and I already had some experience of investing through fundamental analysis) I just got stuck into trying out different ways of trading. Demo of course!

Regards,

Dan

Hi Dan did you trade this BUOB, or miss it as today's bar did not break it?
Hi bez,

No, the BUOB didn't trigger... interestingly though the past two days have setup a couple of inside bars off of that BUOB. A move upwards might still happen but given the state of the Euro against other currencies at the moment I don't think there's much hope for it.

Regards,

Dan

Hi Dan,

Just joined your thread. I am another UK trader, (West Midlands).
At present, I am also a member of the J16 thread.
I trade Daily Pinbars only. Mostly with the trend, unless I get tempted with a CT trade, which I find very tricky.

Speak soon.

A bullish engulfing or outside bar is obviously a buying signal and should form at a swing low. To classify as an engulfing bar the body should completely engulf the body of the previous bar. An outside bar forms similarly but the emphasis is more on the close being higher than the open and close of the previous candle.

Hello Dan, was nice to meet you at former Jacko thread.
Would you mind answering question regarding Bullish Engulfing/Outside Bars ?
I have never traded this set up and have no idea how entry and stop loss is set when we have this set up at the area of other factors confluence.

Nice thread Dan. I've been in trading awhile and have concluded that your approach is the best way to go. i like your idea on eventually covering all the markets. I'm leary of holding futures contracts overnight . Do you think etf's would work ok with this method.

this is a real steep drop and a small pin bar that filled the gap within 2cents. you probably want some more drop closer to the prior swing high .

Hi shiko,

A bullish engulfing or outside bar can be seen here: http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...8&postcount=12 the entry is on the break of the high of the setup bar and the stop loss would go below the low.

The reverse is true for a bearish engulfing or outside bar (which can be seen here: http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...1&postcount=13).

Hope that helps!

Dan

Hi decades,

Yes I don't see why not... pretty much anything with a chart and reasonable liquidity should work fine!

Yep! Don't feel too bad I've done it before. Normally whilst I've been messing around trying out different ideas and strategies! Not paying proper attention to my trading and as a result I've dipped out. It makes you pay attention next time though lol!

Dan, thank you for explanation. Outside bar looks like too big of a risk to me. Unlike pin bar or even inside bar. Never traded it so, I have no experience how to handle this set up.

I personally do not even trade E/U now. It looks like a kind of limbo to me. Looks like it is turning down but possibly up trend might resume. I am watching E/U, U/J, G/J and Usd/Chf.
