Now this is what I call a bearish outside bar - go baby go... {image}
Those bars are so tiny that they were 2 pixels on my screen. LOL
Okay - joke aside
1) I dont have my MT4 in front of me, but here it seems like a DBHLC rather than a BEOB... Whatever...
The position of the "setup is great. we got some space, so at least the FTA is not right under us... EMAs, however as far as I know james doesnt trade BASE on 15m... And last but not least - at a tiny high - no, we are not at swing high...
However as i see it was nothing more then a pullback + retest with some confluence of the EMAs... The SIZE of these bars tell me nothing... Look at the bars on the high - i want to see BEOBs which are that size... Honestly I think this trade didnt have much to do with your "beob" ... i think price simply pulled back tested the res. and fall...
What's my point here? While learning it's crucial that you look for A+ setups. These setups can be misleading. You see the nice fall, and you think "woow that was a good setup, I gotta look for more like that" - and you do and you find more like that. (Been there done that
) But then when you get to the next level - like demoing, backtesting you realize that most of these trades are unmanageable. Your R/R would be 0,45 or the FTA is too close, and then you have to HOPE that price breaks it through so that you can move to BE at least.Tip: When you see a setup, and you think it's good scroll back on your chart. And play it out as if it were live. What would you have done when you see that price came back to your entry level. Were you already BE? Would you have closed your trade at +0%? And when you see a nice setup, which was easy to manage - well then most probably it was an A+...
Good luck in the pip hunting.

Tip of the DAY:
NEVER EVER TRUST LOT CALCULATORS THAT WERE NOT WRITTEN BY YOU!
I said 1% I made a trade of 0.56 Lot on an exotic, and i got 10% DD... Thank GOD its only Demo...
However I think this could be useful for all if you if you go live on one day...
Cheers,

Today's close formed some interesting bars, some better than the others in terms of the whole story, but nonetheless...
What do you make of these?
EURUSD BEOB (at swing low - possible continuation)
EURGBP PIN (at swing high - possible reversal)
EURJPY BEOB (at no particular swing - ... )
GBPUSD BEOB (at swing low - possible continuation)
GBPJPY BEOB (at no particular swing - ...)

{quote} Hey Ken Looks good as a continuation. If it engulfed more bars it would be even better I have my TL drawn different which is better for trade mgmt Just a reminder with the continuation bars that they are not the traditional spot to learn these bars first. And that we still always want a proper confluence story to support and manage such a trade. I will post my eur/aud later when I get back I am already short eur/aud from earlier today so I will be passing on the eur/usd in order to not over expose to the euro which both will be dragged down...
It's actually eur/hkd. Lol. I didn't notice that they have similar pattern.
Which trendline do you think is better? I would prefer eur/hkd as it has a BRN behind it.
Thanks for the reminder on continuation bars
Ken

The HKD is pegged to the USD so it's literally pretty much the same. I still like the euro better because of the placement of the TL to make trade mgmt easier

hey guys
interested to see how this aussie dollar trade develops on the daily. on the lookout for some bearish pa to push it down round the 90 mark.
then i wonder if we might see a double bottom and maybe a bit of a reversal given where price has originally fallen from.
cheers
