nice job buddy
Not the strictest in structure, but it did unfold nicely . .which I've seen in your charts over and over and over again.

Slighlty off topic..but just wanted to check.

Everytime i was jim's videos, I fall asleep..

Does this happen to anyone else?
It happened to me but i was able to figure out what i was doing wrong..
instead of watching Jim's or Mike's videos before i go to sleep, i watch them after waking up from a sleep or nap..
hope it helps my friend.

Hey Yehuda

Not much interesting for me here. I'll be watching 1.450 or 1.5 and in the mean time see if we develop any patterns or more info to the story.

In the most basic sense we had a small pinbar against the trend, weak close. FTA need to be watched closely and price will likely hit those areas too. But these aren't ones that I expect too much more then that(or at least they tend to chop around even when they do hit their targets like this one).

Mike

Hey Heebby

Be careful here though remember we want the open and close to be within the prior bar. Since price gapped up there is no prior bar to be contained within. This doesn't make it wrong, but I would stick to the basics first as defined by james before trying to take some of the trickier situations.

Best
Mike

Thanks Mike. I'll sit this one on the sidelines, and demo it for the experience, and learn from it. USDCAD too.

Hey h2 . .I entered this trade a couple times . . at the retracement at the 2 Bar Low once Price Broke Through and Closed below the heavily confluenced Support level . which then "flipped" to Resistance . .and again at the 3 Bar Low. Taking profits at the given targets along the way.

Hope you can see through my messy chart . .
Thanks Jim. You make it look simple!

Hey pinbar, when would you move your stop to break even on this?

thanks
Hi,
Well, I had moved the stop below the left eye and I had already taken off 50% profit. So, if we think about it, my original stop was something like 20 pips, I took about 18 pips profit at the FTA, then moved the SL to an area that was about 6 pips below my entry+ 2 pip spread, which means that even if, price came back and stopped me out before I physically moved the SL to my original entry + spread, I was still at BE+.

Just closed it out.

It can be very simple h2. The more practise and chart time you do, the easier it becomes. Most of it is waiting for patterns and/or setups to develop at key levels.

Let's wait for this one h2, on the Daily Eur/Chf. Price is ranging between two key levels. Let's wait and see where Price . . Close Above or Below ..and see if an opportunity presents itself . .

Cool Pinbar . .I don't think I've seen/used this one before.

I'll check it out ..thanks bro.


Jim

Yeah, it is an interesting alert system, never seen with with fibs TL and rectangles, seems like it may be just your cup of tea, Jim.

As I know you like to use the TL horizontally as the targets.

We were trading in opposite directions.

Thanks for the Kind words folks, I sent DK, Jarroo & Mike that a while ago but was unable to post.

This forum is for trading not squabbling, I shall remember that.

Anyway, here is an interesting price alert indicator, I found and it is really useful. I think Mike also used it at one stage.

Does, TL, Horizontal Lines, Fibo alerts, rectangles etc, so I think it could fit into the tool box of many people.

You can use any style of horizontal lines you like, it will alert you at each line touch, you can draw rectangles and have it alert you,...
Thank you Pinbar,

It really helps me out!!!, everytime i draw a tl, horizontal, or whatever, i have to set an alert on my broker. If i am interested in a tl, everytime a bar closes i have to set again the alert, and guess what, i forget about it, and i miss the tl touches.

You made my day with this. I am sure i am going to improve my trading with this.

Thank you again

Hector

Edit: Can you please tell me how to set my email to receive the email alerts?

i know looking at an upmove like that can be daunting to sell against, but if anything i learnt from my time at the Supply and Demand academy its actually good, because if the sellers are coming in on that pin, there is less battleground to go down through, hard to explain, but just means a cleaner path
Hi DK

I have read your trades and they are awesome!, good job and thanks for sharing!

Best wishes

Hector

Edit: You both are great traders and very valuable for all the newbies here, hope any problem doesnt mess up the good traders you are, and the very good job you both have done in here. All the best for both of you!!!

Yeah, some alerts are too input intensive, I like the simple ones but, we have to make sure we are not just responding to the alert like a lab rat, but also take the time to analyze what is going on with the area at the time it alerts us. I thin is also a danger of us seeing a possible situation at an price level, the forgeting about it till the alert goes off, then just taking it irrespective of the current situation.

Hello Pinbar

Thank you for your recommendations. I only use what i think are really important levels-trendlines, and without pa - no action - no trade.

But i need an alert that tells me when a tl is touched, this way the levels are moving, so the alert does. One of the alert parameters of your indicator is an email alert. I set the email alert parameter to yes, but i cant find where to put the email i want the alert to be sent. Do you know how to set this up?

Thank you again, and best regards

Hector

PD: Nice to read you around!

In MT4, I think you have to go to Tools, Options and input your smtp server and details. Then it will send the mail to that address.
