Looked at EURUSD this morning and saw this BEOB at a swing high. So why is it bouncing back from 1.30?

Couple I'm looking at tonight...

NZD/CHF

Pin bar becomes SFP at previous resistance this has struggled to break. Nice looking bar but we have the BRN right in the way.

AUD/CHF

Small but nice looking pin bar off trendline. Bit of space underneath.

I know they're correlated, but anybody got a preference between these two? I'm leaning towards the AUDCHF.

{quote} Why such a big difference in charts???????????? This frustrates me. Pls see mine here ... {image}
No need to get frustrated Mayube, different brokers use different opening/closing times. This causes bars to close at different times and can translate to different price action. A lot of people prefer brokers which have a daily close at 5PM Eastern time. I like to think of this as more opportunities to look for good price action when you can review the bar closes on different brokers, some will produce a PB, BEOB, BUOB, and others wont. Still need to be picky though.
Price is beautiful. A repetitive method is a competitive method.

I was so tempted to put a sell order on this PB. It has good shape at clear swing high. We have space below. The only thing that is bad is location. Its in the midle of nowhere. What are your opinions fellows. Mike, would you consider this PB tradeble? I belive it is discussed on PF. I know it didnt break the next candle, but its offmarket time right now. I would give it another 4 hours to break if I play it.

IMO Be careful with that pin on audchf

On my chart it is directly facing EMA50 and EMA150 on D1 and the whole bounce of EMA(50+150+365) on H4.
As you think, but I skipped it.

{quote} Been away from the factory for a while. Used to be a member of the PF, Mike might remember me Thinking of joining again when the new site is up and running. Anyway breakouts is the only thing I look for now. We all have our own ways of doing things .. but for me personally that pattern just isnt well developed or large enough. Difficult for me to explain but imt sure Mike can explain how important pattern size is. Also for me, I like to see price really swing INTO the pattern and bounce significantly. On your chart price is kinda just...
Thanks Dan,

Well, when I noticed you post I had already been in position with this pair. I understand your conception about the chart pattern
but when I realized that an 1,5 BRN - EMA150 (Daily chart) confluence will protect my stop loss when the price shows strong divergence on H4 I decided to get in and sell.
We will see how it will work

Hey Oradba

Be very careful, the markets are very choppy right now. If you notice your beob is not at a swing high but in a very sideways market. This means price has no space and is trading into trouble. We would be trading backinto the BRN too which is giving it problems.

it's just a big ole mess right now. These markets can really chew up an account

Just be careful out there guys in these choppy markets don't force trades with small bars or bars in a lot of traffic

Hey M

Not a whole lot going for this one in my eyes. You have tomorrow being friday which is probably the only confluence here fighting such a strong trend. Fridays are notorious take profit days. With it being so late in the day trading a 4hr bar like this is out of the question for me personally. Just tricky really I think its mostly playing an attempt at lack of momentum into weeks end rather then any other specific confluence. BRN of 1.45 just below

AUDCHF might be a bit risky, as the bigger picture says something slightly different. A bit messy, but hope you can understand the scribble.

Here a question about inside bar's, so it's not a suggestion:

Chart is H4 GBP CAD.

Is this a good pattern to trade? should I be aiming up or down?

HI FFL, I watch this on low TF h4, for me buying rite now is kinda risky in my opinion, because the first FTA kinda messy there not enough space. but that's just my opinion on this pair
I agree it is quite messy but I am in this mainly for the carry trade. 3% on 1 lot is quite nice and I plan on carrying for a long time if history repeats its self.

Dan, you are more experienced and you were right, my GBPAUD trade ended in breakeven.

Hi there,

A short has been triggered yesterday on the break of a D1 BEOB on Merck stocks. Patiently waiting for the weekly to close, most likely as a bearish pinbar at a strong PPZ with nice divergence and some space... Will assess the strength of the 48RN - if it doesn't hold as a resistance, I guess I'll kill the trade with a minor loss.

I'm also looking at a "3-days" pinbar at a swing high on EuroNok (150EMA on the weekly, RN/PPZ). Let's see how it unfolds

being following this thread for a while now and i think your first chart is a classic J16.
Reasons:
1. daily bearish engulfing at swing high
2. SFP forming on weekly chart
3. PB forming on weekly chart
4. Good space below your entry.

I think probability of success on it quite high but I could be wrong.Anyway I am still learning.

This is a great job Springer. Good way to show how choppy this market is right now. Many markets are pretty choppy and if we aren't quick to protect ourselves it can chop up ones account

Consolidating markets are one of the biggest account killers
