if u look closely & compare the 2 charts, that eur$ situation & current $chf's situation structurally look different.
also, IMHO, eur$ has been bullish (even prior that PB) & $chf has been bearish.
Yes, they still both are at the swing LOW

Maybe this will clear up what I'm saying.

I drew in yellow bars as a potential scenario to look for. Alternatively, it could be a bearish outside bar instead of a pin.

Sounds like thermobee says it rarely happens, so maybe this is all irrelevant.
Here is the same chart but different TF. This has a higher chance to reach its FTA, as it is at the swing low with space to go.

The TF is to small to trade for me though..

both are at a swing low, yes.
but one is bullish (Eur$), while $chf is bearish. if u agree with this, then u would expect a probability that $chf will make newer low/s (it did break below 0.8300) but eur$ wouldn't/didnt (since eur$ is bullish)
remember too, that eur$ & $chf run in opposing directions

I'm not really sure what do you mean by EU being bullish? To me looks very bearish! But risky to trade even with PB because of swing low/space issues.
Here is how I see it:

yes, i am aware of that chart situation.
what i meant is my bias for EUR$ has been bullish for some time now. (bullish eur, chf; bearish $)

assuming u are not bullish eur$ & we just have to concentrate on that chart.
will u short a PB that's just a few pips above (potential) support/trouble area? (remember James16 THIS IS CRITICAL*)
does every pinbar/PA setup work?
im sure u know the answers to these
that PB failing (or barely dropping/breaking) confirm that price IS bullish



*to the new ones, MUST READ & FOLLOW this
Quoting james16
YES!!!

THIS IS CRITICAL.

WE MUST LEARN TO:
1. notice a strong s/r area just beyond our pa if it exists.
2. know that if we trade into it we had better be prepared for a quick reversal that could give us a loss if we are not prepared.

if we know its there we have several choices.

1. get out when it gets there for a small profit.
2. take a small partial profit and move the remainder to BE.
3. stay in with your total position hoping for a break and move your stop to BE.
4. Dont enter until the level has been broken.

Hi, Just wanted to post this, I originally posted yesterday.
IPB marked on the chart that seemed to work out quite well after going against me at first. Stop at BE now, just over 40 pips up.

Thanks for recommending this thread and for the help! Looks like a good thread and hopefully I will get something out of it.

could've been better, i think.
hey, just noticed it was just a few pips away from .8000?
where did u place your stop?
did u enter on the IPB high break?
u were quite lucky price didnt head for 0.80
i think a better IPB would've been a big one at the 0.80 area.

Yeah, i was sweating at first as it looked like that's exactly were price was heading. I entered too late at 0.8063 with stop below the IPB at about 0.8014

Those are riskier as they are at the swing low, we want to see them at the swing high. So no space, no room to go.

Took the words right out of my mouth

Not saying that it could not make a good continuation trade, but it is definitely at a swing low. Just have to be played differently that a 101 trade. Would like it being at an area of S/R and with the trend, but eventually most everything is going to experience a retrace and this has not in a while. The other thing that would stick out in my mind is that this seems a bit like a breakout trade. That being the case this was not a very strong breakout. If I were looking for a breakout and retest senario I would want to see a very very strong retest of the area. Just my .02 though. Hell I could probably as for change off of my .02 ...

Nice move up from a semi PB. PBT&CA. I wonder if a break of this IB can get to 1.3865?

Edit: Hovering just under 1.3700

Quoting Mebius
The 3 previous bars to BUOB would be a concern for me because of the strength/steepness of the bearish move. For me, a strong BUOB after consolidation and weak price action like small inside bars at the swing low is ideal. If you were to take this trade, I think entering on a 50% retrace of the BUOB would be safer and then watching very closely to take profit. And yes, this being a counter trend trade would be another reason to stay away.
Thank you Mebius, your analyis is good.

Hello, I have few questions about this method:

1. Risk / Reward is usually less than 1:1 or near it.
- Is it ok? Losing of one trade means that next two must be profitable.

2. Brokers offer different GMT offset time: GMT 0 / +1 / +2 / +3 - this means that H4 candles will look different.
- Is there any preference?

Any ideas will be appreciated!
Thanks!

It looks like that except losing one trade does not mean the next 2 will be proftable....
It is not guaranteed....unforunately...
