I see. I took a short today off the H4 / H1 supply area, although I can see price broke to the upside through a down channel.

Watching the USDX closely here.

Nice indeed - I'm waiting for close above, but short would be nice too...
But long - lot of space and breaking out of this triangle consolidation

cheers
It didn't close under 1.575. So it's your trade now... Be careful you're hitting the EMA365 on the daily chart

Hey Yehuda

Not really enough information here for me. Price trending strongly down so this is nothing more then a pause. If price breaks up we know where it is likely to go(see chart). If it breaks down it is trading into a bit more support very close by.

Here is an updated chart Y, notice right where price is bouncing on the Break up. Now it/s a matter if buyers want to come back in but we knew where price was likely to go

Mike

I don't use emas, but thanks for warning

take care

Hi all,
On the 4 hour chart GBPNZD pinbar formed. I opened a small volume of long positions . If the price falls below closer to the level of PPZ, the volume of the long position will increase. Stop below 1.9220. What do you think?

Sorry for my English is not my native language
Hey Elena

When we see and use a pinbar formation. Our stop should go below that bar. When we take a pinbar that should be our belief that that pinbar is going to hold us up. If it gets below the pinbar then our belief was wrong. By putting your stop so far, and also adding it sort of negates the whole idea of use PA to find and manage our trades. So the buy limit and the pin should be two separate ideas in my eyes and the pinbar if you believe is a good one should be traded and your stop should not be so far away from the low.

Yep,

orange - entry and sl now
purple - moment when move sl to be (fta)

No target in mind - trying to get as many pips as I can, I will move my sl, when price will closing below every trouble area.

Was just speaking about this chart with someone.

This could be an inbetweener since a lot of time has lapsed since a touch to that top descending TL. We might see price bounce somewhere around here (BRN) confirming that TL a bit differently two because of the angle

Interesting pair right now I think price may want to dip lower once more under that swing low. Just a silly hunch though at this point
