If you mean 2nd red bar from the left in each diagram, then yes.

My point, which I should have mentioned, was regarding your post from the other day (July 1st) where another PinBar made you cover short trade prematurely. That wasn't a Pin since the bar after went lower as well.
Oh yes, thank you!!! Would you have lowered your stop to just above the potential pin bar when it closed?

I really don't use PinBars that often since most times a wider than usual stop is required. But if I had entered when you did I would have had my stop just above the high of the initial "genuine" Pin and kept it there for at least 2 or 3 new bars of price action.

I first trail my (short) trades with a stop above a 3 bar high - excluding inside bars, then depending on how the trade is going tighten to a 1 bar high.

I just saw this message from Oanda. I am not a happy camper.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Effective July 15, by law we must reduce leverage for gold and silver to 1:1. If you trade metals, please take action now to avoid margin calls.

was there anything wrong with my entries?
first trade got stoped out
re-enterd on the second PB than moved my stop to BE and got stopped out ...

I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF MY ENTRIES WERE OK im not bothered that i didn't make money...

thank you!
I know I am a little bit late responding to this post, but the first bar is not a pin bar (PB). It's open and close were not within the open and close of the previous bar. You gotta be careful about the definition of what a pin bar is.

I think the second one was a beautiful PB, I think you might have moved your stop a little bit too soon. However, you didn't lose anything on that one.

Cheers

It is a counter trend for quick profit (play at own risk)
Ok i see where you enter and go out, but i don't understand why you took this trade.

Big red momentum, it's was very very riskly, no? Low probability trade, no? (less than 50% i suppose? )

Could you please explain your analysis, it's interesting me

Thanks
