I take it that is, 0.82064 on hte FXPRO feed.

I am watching it.

Yes, it is easy to get distracted between the Monthly & weekly TFs and the smaller swing points. I am working on it.

Got to run, back later
Yes, the 82.00ish level.

Hello every1

This is something i have been testing, studying, watching, on and on and on, to see if it can really help people. At least, i think it has helped me measuring PA size. I think this is the hardest part on the learning process for new people, and the not that new ones too, lol.

What i found helpfull, is a volume indicator. Please wait until i finish, before people jump to tell me that nobody can measure forex volume, i know it.

I think about it this way. In statistical studies, you only take samples of the population, evaluate those samples, and extrapolate results to the population.

When you make a poll, you dont have to make questions to everyone, same way you take samples and studying the results, you can have an idea about what population thinks.

If you use a big broker indicator volume, those brokers has 3, 4, 5 big banks giving them their feeds, the more i test it, the more i think this is a good sample of real forex volume.

We look for big PA bars, because it means a lot of people are getting in the market. This way bearish pa means tons of bearish positions, and bulish pa means tons of bullish positions. If tons of people think the same way as you do according to where is price going (up or down), then the higher chances you have for good results, or a high probability trade we have read a lot in this thread.

What i have found usefull, is that PA with a good "size"", are the ones with a volume above the orange level (average of previous x bars volume).

I think to be successfull in this bussiness you have to learn 3 things

- PA (bars)
- Location (PPZ's, BRN's, pattern's)
- Size, or volume.

Attached is a sample of 2 bars, even 1 is bigger in pip size than the other, and the smaller in pips with higher volume worked, and the bigger pip size with low volume, didnt worked out.

Also attached the indicator, if anyone is interested, but you can google it too.

After anyone asks, i dont know what changes in color means, i dont even care, i only care about the value, and the average (or orange level).

Hope someone find this helpful to measure size like i am doing right now.

Any comments are welcomed

Hope i can make my self clear, if not, sorry for my english, lol.

Best wishes

Hector

Throw in some confluences at these levels and they become easier to take. . . . meaning . . James16: "We need many reasons to enter a trade . . "

Confluences like . . .Fibs, trendlines, EMAs, BRNs , RNs, Space, etc . .and/or PA at these levels ( even on a lower TF) gives confirmation of that level.

The stronger the PA the better. . .you know, the kind of PA that Mike would be proud of . .
Lol, absolutly right!!!, i am pretty sure anyone reading this thread, everytime a PinBar, or a BEOB appears, the first thing that comes to his mind is something like: "what could say Mike about this bar, setup, story???"

But you wrote it better, "is this the kind of PA that Mike would be proud of???, lol, has come to my mind many times, lol

I believe MT4 doesn't get any real volume from broker. The thing you are looking at is probably just tick volume which doesn't tell much about real volume. Anyway your broker probably would not show its tier 2 volume.

I would be Very careful taking a short trade into this area for the reasons on the chart.

I am sure Jarroo will mention a similar scenario.

If price breaks through it and pulls back showing some bearish PA at parity, sure but, we do not want to trade into it.

NZD/USD H1 close above but we may see this next bar turn into a BEOB.

Nope, no H1 bar.

So we wait for the H4 bar to close.

Can't imagine Mike would trade into this area, unless it broke above the PPZ, pulled back and showed bullish Pa. Going to be interesting to hear what he says.

with low volume
There is no volume on forex. If you want to analyze volume, you should see futures volume.
I attached indicator that can show you futures volume for some pairs. It's not working on linux.
Also you can see it at NinjaTrader.

no i didn't mean he'd trade into it.... he posted the chart a short while ago with a view to maybe trading it... i'd say long and probably on breakout and pullback but now that's happened i wanted to see how and if he's playing it.
Soz if i was misleading there....

So this is highest price has been since 1997.... really interesting area to watch (in my opinion). These highs have produced some huge moves in the past.

Looks like we now have an H1 DBLHC & an H4 close above, which suggests this is going to take off long.

EDIT: I have the feeling these two bar highs are going to act as a springboard, when price comes back.
