Quoting Greenhaze
Hey Tomaszu

Personally i will skip this one. I would like to see that bar piercing thru the highs. Then it would be easy to assume that a lot of bullish breakout players would have stops under its low.....Anyway It looks like bulls are getting out of steam.

And there she goes 1540 looks interesting.

i was looking at these also. i didnt like the weak close...

Thanks guys (Dzieki Kamil). Valid points and good reasons to stay out, but I took it for a quick profit. Sold on break, full profit at 1543.26. Wasn't going to stick around to see this one reverse.

Greenhaze, I missed a big move on Gold late in the day once before, thought it could happen here and now.

1 unit trade, 5.30GBP profit. Drinks are on me!

Hey Pex

For a DBLHC the close must close higher then the previous bars high

Hello all,

This is my first post here. I've been following the James16 material for a while, but I'm still very much at the beginning of my trading career. I still have a lot to learn, and I thought I'd start contributing to this thread rather than just lurking.

I'm watching a few things at the moment. We're coming up to some good locations on the daily charts imo. I've attached one I was looking at earlier. It would be nice if we could get some nice bullish pa off the 1.50 with divergence. Looks like its a similar story on the EURCAD too.

Hope everyone is well,

Ben

There ain't nothing fishy about this. There is no way in HELL that the US gov't after 10 years would release news if they didn't have that guys body on a stake with proof. It will be seen.

He may just be a symbol for terrorism and not pull the strings as he once did , but it is a huge symbol, the face of it, and psychological/moral victory for the world.

God bless the men and women out there fighting for freedom. This is a monumental day, and it's not over, but this is an important day in history

Agreed! US wouldnt be dumb enough to declare the guy dead if hes not, but the way they declared was weird. Maybe he died from other circuntances (sickness, age, God's rage, who knows??) and they are just making it oficial so the world can move on... Fair enough.
How bad do you want it? That's the attitude!

Hey Ben

Welcome

This is for sure a good area to watch for PA. Former swing highs(clear ones) like this are some of my favorite to watch for some information at

Welcome to the thread at least officially

took this trade on my demo account and it nearly went wrong. i saw confluences of gap support and fib ret with a pinbar closing above the 150EMA. I took the trade at retracement and was almost stopped out (i was almost sure i would lol) Was there anything that I missed that perhaps made this a trade not to be taken? Or was it just fine?

technically not a pinbar because the close is not inside the previous bar.
but looks good, imho. with support of ma and rn.

are u referring to the BUOB?
where was your entry?
on IBFX, it (BUOB) doesnt look that good (barely a buob).
well, i think u disregarded 137.00 RN. if u look back 10-12bars to the left of the BUOB, price did stall (got rejected) at that area.
u could've at least placed an order above that area.

anyway, dont put too much weight on any single trade. u will make MANY trades, so a single proftable or losing trade doesnt mean much in the long run (unless that single trade was uber-profitable or an uber-loss ).

Classic stop hunt on low liquidity. That was ideal place for stop losses just below the 1540. That spike cleared the market from weak longs and look at the PA on retracement.

Hi SC, yes BUOB off FxPro or Alpari feed. I liked the location even more than the bar shape, is like break through Res and then test it as Sup forming BUOB.

137 was on my radar too. Somebody here even mentioned it. But I honestly thought the bar structure and location was something that could logically overweight that RN. (also buob was off BRN). So I think it was still a good trade which just didn't work.

Yes MANY trades, good onces, and fail for some reason.

This is what my EC starting Jan 1 look like.
I don't know what is the problem. Some bug in my trading obviously exist, equity curve dosn't suppose to look like this trading J16 I think!
Maybe I should add some kind of a filter, like EMA, or trades with Div only... still thinking
