NZDUSD looks so heavy on H4 . Maybe time for retracement . Only bad thing is i can't find a good PA setup to enter short
there was a little PB on daily which broke nicely short. I didn't get it tho.

Hey Rust,
for short I would wait for a break and a retest of the blue zone.
Take care

hey KK

I have hooked my computer to one of my 42 led/lcds. It's really cool for like 2 mins, then it just feels incredibly weird lol.

I prefer multiple desktop monitors. Since I spend most of my life at a desk lol

I use a 40' LCD, and I like it, especially for watching tutorial stuff.

I missed the Daily PB too - well I saw it but didn't take it! maybe see if we get a retrace to the PPZ around 0.83 and look for some bearish PA around there.

Hey KK

Be careful that first bar is not a pinbar it's a nothing bar as per james16

I put some notes on about todays small pinbar

updated chart

Any surprises here? Shouldn't be. we know where price is going and we know this is a small bar vs the trend

I took this short on 8H PB and got out at the FTA i posted yesterday. Now i see on 8H there is DBLHC, which i will now take long.

For me that pin looked good. I was very careful and got out early for modest profit. I wanted to see how it reacted and Mike, you were spot on. And to be honest it proved just how good this thread and all it teaches really is - it behaved EXACTLY as you'd expect.

It's really important for me (and i doubt i'm alone) that we see how these pins behave as part of a story. This looked ok but wasn't good for many reasons.

I've learned. Again. thank you.

classic easy J16 here. For those struggling THIS IS WHAT YOU SHOULD BE DOING. Simple clean PA bars at clean areas. Build up your "tools"

Not fair Mike ,

time to find more brokers. I have accounts with multiple brokers, this is one of the reasons. Such an easy thing to do and gives us so many more options.

It's another key to simplicity success LOL

cool B!

Yep it's all important stuff to learn. Then we put it together how is comfortable for us. So even though I knew exactly where price was going, it wasn't worth the trade for me. Based on how I put the material together. But the power once we do know. Then we just have to stay patient, picky, disciplined every day(easier said then done right )

Sure is! And in future i will know that i was a hairs breadth away from a loss on that one and not to bother next time.
I just love how the previous bars show us where we're going. Thinking about it, are the previous bars highs/lows basically pivots for people playing lower TF? I guess they are.

trade at BE already now, so no stress trade on this one
took BUOB at bottom of the range/consilidation, when i saw this BUOB was quote obvious where price is heading now

Not many ppl can trade ranges, but with J16 its easy!

Which part of J16 is this exactly - coz it's not something I recognise.

For a start I thought we should be looking at the higher timeframes and A+ trades. Looking at the daily it's certainly not an A+ setup.

Have we moved to scalping the H4 now? Did I miss something?

Hey stew

Deans post is actually spot on for J16. It's about understanding the bars and their locations. Check out the recent posts from Jim. This is not scalping but trading a timeframe relative to what is going on. The reason we recommend to start on the higher timeframes is to build a proper foundation while getting the basics down. Not to mention james often calls his style day trading the daily timeframe. Same could be send for any timeframe. Deans post is actually a very good example of what Jim shows

This is interesting . GBP is showing some strength all across the board and this pair i was watching closely before that .
The 1.5660 area turned to be very resistant. A bunch of confluence there - PPZ , 150 and 365 emas , 38.2% fib retracement , multiple bar lows ! Then this huge huge BUOB happened engulfing a lot of bars and closed above a trendline (even if it's not the best one) and more important above our previous PPZ which i find major. Only thing that stopped me from pull a full position here was that the close is lower than 1.5750 which is the middle of the two major RNs (1.6000 and 1.5500) .
So here i will try to catch some of the momentum that build up

edit : i promise next chart to be much clearer , just wanted to put all the confluence at one place
