Your broker has a specified daily bar close time. The Fx markets in reality are a 24/7 market that is price moves even on the weekends. The Sunday bar shows up when your broker, as a rule opens the week up for trading late on a Sunday (a few hours before the official daily bar open/close time) hence the platform automatically starts displaying a new bar after only an hour or 2 of data.

This bar hence is ignored as it does not contain the full 24 hours of data we want a daily bar to contain.

Think of it like a small chunk of the actual Monday daily bar that's been excluded from the official Monday bar.

Some years back , maybe 5 now . I watched a documentary in Australia about the Japanese woman taken back by Forex phenomenon and they took it up rather very seriously and quite successfull too.

Is that still the case in Japan ? you think ?

Just a curiousity thats all !

Sorry, must have missed this.

Well, FX is very popular here but, the majority of hosewives trading their husband's bonuses, get creamed big time. it's the same old story anywhere.

Hello Harry,
u are bearish up to what price?
yes, u got some confluence there. but i see possible traffic immediately below, around 1.5630 - 1.5850.
if price is indeed bullish, these area will hold & we might see good momentum breaking/moving through 1.60 - 1.64. or we might chop around that area again, before deciding on the direction.

hope that helps

Jarroo,

a question for you about two close PPZ's, say 60 to 150 pips apart, on a pair which averages about 250 pips per day.

My mind has been telling me that the area inside is basically a no-trade-zone, unless there is very serious reversal PA, bearish BEEOB or PB off the top and bullish BUEOB or PB off the bottom.

Would you take a trade off these, or wait for price to leave the zone and the top to prove its support and bottom to prove its resistance?

Can there be an A+ trade inside the zone?

I hope I was clear in my question.

Thanks in...

We have a similar situation on UJ right now.

I don't think so, at least mine are not.
You can drag them and drop them in any order you like though.

Didnt think so, just wondering if there was a sort option but there does not seem to be.
I am trying to tidy things up and get things in a logical order for myself

hello Grahame,
the order is based on category (currency pairs, commodities, stocks, etc --not exactly in this order)
& the way the pairs are displayed on the list on Window > New Window (where u open a new chart)

if im not mistaken...

Hi SC
Thanks for the reply, I am just finding it a little difficult at the moment to organise charts for checking etc in a way that is logical for me. Only a small thing I know but it will help make my trading smoother, I hope haha

That is what I was talking about with Jarroo.

If we think of these as a top and bottom the area in between becomes No man's land, as you say.

But notice how Jarroo called it the profit area.

I must study what he means by that. I've been reading so much lately I don't even remember if I read that. Does he mean scalping opportunities lie in these zones?

Don't answer, I'll search back

No, I can only infer that around it is a good setup area.

I don't think that yesterday candle was a buob,technically,yes it was,but the shape tells me that is more an indecision bar rather than a buob.Looking to the last 5 bars,I see those tails long enough to understand that the buyers are slowing down at the confluence of ppz+61.8fibbo.I don't know if the buyers are taking profit or the sellers are back in business,but with a decent bearish pa,1.51 becomes a very likely target.
Last weekly closed as an indecision bar with a friday IPB(ib).I don't trade this kind of bar,I use them as information,but it's position/shape and the previous candles(as I said in quoted post),make a perfect IPB with a nice story for ghous.Anyway,I'll keep an eye on this pair.

Hi guys !

Hope you had a great weekend...

First lost of 2011 on EUR/GBP

We had:

 

  1. 61.8 fib
  2. Rejection off the BRN 85.00 + Previous Support zone (blue square)
  3. PB
  4. DIV


Had my TP at 0.84550, thought it was gonna be a fast trade as I had my TP 20 pips away from my entry, but it turned out into a lost.

Looking at it.. I think my error was that the PB was small size (thx Mike) related to the trend before it (blue lines), in another context the PB could be a good size but looking at the strong uptrend before it, its not.

Comments are welcomed.

Thx.
Os.

Hey Osman,

When I look at the setup the problem of the length of the bar jumps out less at me than the problem of the close on the bar

The close on our PA bars is extremely important...specially when we're talking about a bar that's heading into traffic.

I see a confluence of the 365 with quite a few bar highs, and the pin bar close in relation was above this area. That to me is the first red flag. Had price closed with authority below...or even at this area solidly (leaving a very small...or better still no wick at all) things could have been very different.

I actually like the nose on the bar and the overall location factors you mentioned, but it just goes to show you why a strong close is so imperative for trades that are heading into immediate trouble.

just the way I am looking at the bar...
