I would watch shorting this on H1 as, is evident by the RH&S pattern, there is bullish PA on the daily tf.

hi pinbar, mbqb11, Jaroo, could u have a look at the GBP/USD chart. there is a good pinbar, Fib, a good support level, trendline and BRN. Lots of Confluence{s}. i tried on demo but it seems its not gona work out. The only thing i can think of is maybe cos its friday so traders are taking profit off the table...please do advice. Regards Dennis {image}
Hey Dennis

Someone asked me about this in the PF as well> My response was this bar is just very very tiny fighting a much bigger few bearish bars previous to it. If you look there isn't any real confluence here. For example your trendline isn't really relevant since we don't know if that's a trendline. If price moved up here then you could start connecting end points. But without that you are really just connecting any two points on a chart(this is why I use trendlines that have 3 or more touches). But size of bar here is an easy way to avoid these types of situations. Otherwise what happens is people will curve fit their chart to try to trade a bar. That's tricky. These types of small bars literally need to break very hard otherwise this happens over and over on the small ones

Hope that helps

{quote} i liked the look of this chart myself but the simple weakness of the bar itself kept me out. notice the size of it compared to the bars on the swing down...or the average sized bars on the swing up...may still work out?? We may get some more downside judging from the 4h BEOB just printed from the 1.5500 level? jon {image}
Great Jon and Steve, thanks for clarifying. I think small bars (without a deeper understanding of confluence) are one of the first things new traders make mistakes with PA. THat's why people will abandon PA because they say pinbars don't work but it's just having a deeper understanding of bars and their locations and then combining the two.


Thanks for helping out guys

{quote} Mike will tell you that bar size is crucial along with location. Actually zooming out to two clicks above the smallest MT4 chart size, shows the true size of the bar, if you zoom in more than that, it sort of distorts bars and makes them look better than they actually are. As they say, "If in doubt. Zoom Out". You are doing fine Dennis. It is easy to talk yourself into a trade.
So true Steve. The biggest difference on my equity curve(even after being profitable for awhile) is simply staying out of even so-so trades. I am very conservative but it in turn takes a lot of the doubt out when I do enter.

Rifle shot mentality is the way to go, it will change your trading

Happy Friday,
What do you all think of these. EU printed a large DBHLC breaking down the TL. USDCHF similar in the other direction.

Hey Mike ,Hey Jaroo

One question I always wanted to ask you guys is how do you organize your day?

I'm having serious problems with my time management right now, my job's gotten more stressfull lately and I don't really find time for trading.Well actually I do have time but I don't want to trade when I am half asleep or can't concentrate.

So how do you guys do it? Do you have set times in the day?

{quote} Yeah Jon, just Chilling out is the thing to do. Looks like the 1.53832 is the next stop for price, if the back of that small PB breaks, which I think will happen. {image}
tut tut PB...you were, wot?, ten pips out.....on a 1D TF.

What you teach so unselfishly, does not fall on deaf ears.

Sincere thanks Mike.

Or possibly, both.

been watchin this also. i have my TL a little diferent but its basically the same story. That 1H BEOB would have been tempting...except the TL has been well hammered. the more you knock at the door the more chance of someyone opening it, or so they say. eezy in hind sight of course, but it kept my ichy fingers away. If you had the FTA marked in there was still only a BE trade? so no loss. Its looking promising for Sund/Mond now though...

These moves drive you (or me at least ) nuts!! lol. they seem to come out of the blue and dont give us any readable PA, at least for me, you know your only chasing price if you enter so you stay out....then it goes to the moon. happens time and time again..
bty in my experience TLs like those are a bit dodgy. the steady regular ones seem the most reliable.
