I don't know if it's just me, but i find it very hard to find good setup these days. Very few tradeable PA. I only took one trade last month.Or has everyone gone down to the lower TF?
I took just 1 trade this month too, and I monitor the markets like crazy.

any comments for this pinbar?
thnx
my 2 cents

hideous r:r, truly countertrend, and the reasons why someone should short chf this year are few, if any. Doubt even the contrarian tribe shorts chf(I'm usually assigned to that tribe).

Let the deep pockets get bored with their new toy 1st; till then, you're jumping ahead of a train.

if you take it, I'd put a limit order at 1.3635(or where is the previous all time low) with a sl at 1.358(at 1.36 imho you're just begging to sell the bottom). Though still... wouldn't short chf. At least not today.

At 1.366x(that's the value I see in your pic) you'd have something like 65-70% success rate with probably 1:2 r:r, which is ugh imho. And if you enter conservatively, 10-15 pips above the pin, your whole profit is ~30 pips while your risk is at least 80(till 1.36).

This is the longest I have held a trade this year, and I had another trade similar to this earlier this year. Holding positions like this for so long when you're in a free trade is pretty easy in my opinion, although a year ago I probably wouldn't have been able to imagine it lol. I would prefer if it miraculously hits the target before market close today, but if not, I'll still be waiting.
Price hit the final target. It was a long wait, but overall, very good trade. Good for a tad better than +1%

I would have thought you of all people would be happy that LBJ went down
I just wanted to see him live up to all the hype, and win out against everyone who hates him, but he failed, so I'm not impressed with it overall....

I actually pulled out of a sell order on this one. Break of the BEOB and trendline. Wasn't convincing enough at the time.

Hi Mike,
Good trade for you too on EUR/CHF

Where is your current trailstop on EUR/CHF? Or You are out the trade.

I am still trailing last part with SL above 1.22

Thank you!

Hello,

I know there is a lot of ways to manage stops, but I would like to know, from your experience, if it is better to have stop at full bar (on pin bars) or on the first eye?

I would really like to know from your experience.

Thank you.

finally got filled at 1.3622; got out at 1.356x(whole move lasted less than 1.5h, so I got out at the end of the box on h1).

Should get to at least 1.35 imho, will try reentering 1.360x(should bounce back abit imho, given the speed of the fall).

Hey Bee

This would really be an impossible answer to give, as it comes down to how one utilizes the different techniques and what is best for the trader.

Instead it's about demoing and understanding the differences in the two and seeing how they work for YOU

A full bar stop
-Advantages- more room to move stop an eliminate risk off a trade. More room to work with in managing the stop. A bar is not negated until the high/low is taken out
Disadvantages - a smaller position size

A lower stop
-Advantages - A higher position size
Disadvantages - a smaller stop size means less room to work with and less distance b/w entry and stop loss. Must be more careful with stop placement. Potentially getting stopped out before the bar has it's full ability to work(see above about a bar being negated)

This advantage/disadvantage see-saw effect as I call it occurs in almost all aspects of trading

Hope this makes sense
Mike

my approach:

on the close of the eye is way too tight imho.

at the end of the pin - depends; if the pin is very long, probably not... varies with the pin. Usually I place it behind the next major resistance/support regardless of pin length.

what do you mean?
I mean how more often do you get stopped out before price reaching first PT when using first eye of pin bar as your stop loss, as opposed to having your stop at full size (high/low) of pin bar.

Hope this clarifies.
