Hi Jim,
I'm new to trading and have started a mini account since a few years ago. I took an online course and researched the forum to get tips on how to look for a good trade. My performance is not impressive, I should say, as I'm only on break even (with the online course fee paid off from the trading). I got a blessing from my better half to continue focusing on sharpening my trading skills and so I landed on your thread. However, I'm not a very active trader as I have a demanding job which allows little time for everything else.

I'm following your advise on post 1 in order to understand your method and have looked into several charts to identify a good setup for trading. As a first step, I opened daily chart on several pairs to look for the double bars and pin bar and compare with your charts you posted on the first few pages of this thread - on this note, I have a question concerning the double bars: do they have to be at the same price or can they be several pips apart (2-4 pips max)?

Some examples are attached (I can't insert the picture into this post).

Your comment is highly appreciated.

(I hope you're still monitoring this thread as I see you last post was about 6-7 months ago)

All the best to you,
Tony

Watching Eurusd pair, if it closes like we see now, i will take long instantly with stops below daily candle, also add buy limit order at 1.3460 +- with the same stop.

Hey, Mike. Doesn't this picture look like price accumulates its power to go up further through BRN 95, but not reverse? Preaty clear resistance and price is attacking it intensevely. Whats your thoughts?

Sorry Long, Should have put a chart up, it was busy at work today. I was looking for a touch on the top of the daily box. This is just my view and im still learning/watching these areas. Also if you look at the monthly chart the 1.33846 area is part of a monthly PPZ. I think we might come back down to this area sometime. Heres what i was looking at;

There is some hefty confluence on that one.

I have the 150 EMA + trend line + 1.04 RN - that is a brilliant combo of confluence.

And despite being in a sideways market it seems it has at least some space to maneuver through as well.

My concern though is with the size of the bar. The best way to know if your PA bar is good enough (by virtue of its shape) is to compare it with the preceding bars. Here the bullish pin bar is preceded by humungous bearish bars prior to it. In my honest opinion it does take some of the muscle off the...

hi guys is this a good bar?

(im still starting out really, so im just looking for easy things to demo trade lol)

thanks,
tom
your lines speak volumes on that chart. What makes it a good or bad setup is directly connected with what you do with those lines you have marked


Good job tom

thanks man - im trying to come up with reasons not to trade thing because i suffer from overtrading lol and not being able to sit still once entered a trade hahah

on weekly its looks like its flipping around that 0.85318 level which i think i got from the monthly level, i cant get how these things work its pretty amazing
The biggest reason against taking a bar like that is the market is completely sideways stuck in a box. BUT my last post is related to ghous post about the aud/usd. It comes down to you the trader. If you are over trading I would avoid a bar like that. Because most people who over trade don't react at the FTA(like the one you marked). Then price comes back and takes them out. I think you either need to avoid these bars(I would), go to b/e real quick, or take profit real quick. Some combo of never taking a full bar loss on this type of action. Will save you a lot of head and heart ache

hey Tony

Welcome to the thread.

Your charts look great, nice clean and simple. My favorite is the gbp/usd pinbar you have there. I took that one too, it was as beautiful as it gets, lots of confluence. Your BUOB is good a bit small but still a James16 bar. Your TBH is also correct for a continuation(check out when you have 3, 4, or more bar highs in a row, that's powerful stuff!

As for pips apart for a DBHLC or DBHLC. Generally the closer the better. But on a weekly and daily they can be a few pips apart but still be considered a multi high/low

Having a demanding job is pretty normal for a lot of people. Just stick to those daily/weekly charts and they don't become to time consuming in the end


Again welcome to the thread here best of luck
Mike

Hey M

It could, but we are also suggesting a lack of momentum or divergence. Each time price makes a new high we have fallen now. We are right around the BRN of 95 and price has a squeeze too it. I'd like to see more information. I certainly won't be a buyer here since the top is showing divergence. Instead i'll see if we can squeeze more or get more information around the BRN for a potential play. If we keep breaking higher, it's no big deal for me I just let it go since I don't have enough to buy here

Best
Mike
