Again I would like to aks, if there was anything wrong with the reasoning behind this trade.

AUD/USD was taken after a good pinbar from a resistance turned support level. I expected a move at least towards 1.05, but the 150 ema did not get penetrated.

I've been following this thread for 3 years and have finally found success with forex. The fastest way I found to learn this stuff was by going to Jim's profile and pulling up only his posts that have attachments. I have gone over every one of his charts multiple times over the course of several months and it has turned my trading around. I wanted to ask, though, about this one chart. I'm tempted to pass on this, but 2 day pb's are something I prefer to invest in. This one closed above pivot, but seems to be capped by trendline and brn. What's...
It's everything on your chart . This 2 day pin will trade right into 0.8300 , which is the bottom of a box . Also to that trendline you drew . No space to work with in my view.

And welcome

hey there,

You were trading directly into the BRN 1.04. Big as in very responsive. You can see how the pin bar despite being a pin bar, failed to close above the 1.04 BRN and that's a very strong clue that there is still some if not a lot of resistance there. Notice how the next bar tries to test the level again and failed miserably.

We need to be aware of these round number price levels on our charts. Believe me price at times won't even need a PPZ or any additional confluence at a RN and yet bounce to the pip significantly. Trades that are running into them will always be risky.

I was not paying attention to 1.04, neither to the fact that it was a 2nd visit...
I appreciate your comments guys, they help a lot.

I mean its nothing wrong with the fact its second visit. Very well defined levels work very often on the first test and are penetrated deeper on the second one.
That PB looks really tempting but there is just too much resistance above the the bar high IMO.

The consolidation boxes, the PPZ and the 150 were working against this PB from the start. This combined with the weekly BEOB, was just too much to expect from that PB. I actually think it did hit its FTA.

Had this bar closed above this area, it may have been a different story.
The higher TFs and zooming our more and recommended.


Hope this helps

0.9265+61.8
js to be careful i will watch how the monday opens.
i'm watching this too. 4H Gartley (not that we use those here but confluence and all that), currently into daily demand zone, approaching RN, stacked fib levels, space to left.

1st chart is Gartley from Thu. the entry is flexible and invalid below .9261 hence me posting it's relevance.

2nd chart shows stacked fibs and demand zone, ergo a messy chart.

3rd chart is how i keep stuff until i see something i like visually, only then do i look for additional confluences such as fibs, harmonics etc.

Monthly shows it slap bang in the middle of a pivot zone so if anything presents, care and conservative targets will be important.

1-FTA = First trouble area

2-Monthly LCS = Monthly Lowest Close of Support (the lowest that price has closed in an area of support I think?)

3-How to develop a BOX.

The bottom and top of a box are just regular support and resistance areas, drawn as a box because it's easier to see.

4- i'm not sure what a TF level is either!

you can check out pinbar's post for some terms:

edit:
4- TF is time frame. If you're asking about this post from before: "Hey Steve...

still do not know how to develop a box' Top,Bottom and left,right. can any body further explain it please.

Yes, 130.714 is the Monthly LCS of that major Monthly SL.

And the reason I took the H1 PB.
However, I was distracted by a phone call and could not take partial profit or move to BE where I wanted to.
Stuck in it now, till I can get out.

I am thinking with all the wicks below, we are going to test the 150, one more time.

Oh . I see .That's not a bad level. I would have liked it better if it lined up with a current Daily or Weekly level. It comes close to the 130.56 level (Daily LCS) that worked great.

Hey Heaven,

If price breaks under the first box there is a good chance the 130 could act as resistance. Previous support flipping to resistance or a PPZ. Now we don't just blindly buy or sell out of these boxes, so I would be looking for more information. This may be a price bar tip off, or another story that begins to form. Then yes price could then be contained within the previous box.

I am about to post 3 charts. They are all based on the first chart I posted on the gbp/usd a few days back here

Think of the gbp/jpy in a similar fashion...
Great Stuff . .Mike .. .
