Hey Mike, I was going to through James's charts from the beginning. I noticed something interesting. HE NEVER TRADED INSIDE BARS. Most of his setups consists of Pinbars and outside bars. My research now has indicated that IB setups can be very unreliable , but at the same time they can be good runners. Did James know that IB setups don't give you the edge and hence he never took them or is there some good criteria about IB that i am missing. What is your opinion on them? I know people have talked about it here in that past posts, but i am not able...
Hey Z

Inside bars for me represent some of the least information that we can get. Remember an inside bar is just a consolidation period within the previous consolidation period. So they will be bars that show up very often as well as like you said can both be very tricky but very rewarding. In my view they are the toughest of bars to play. At this point i'll maybe take one a year or something like that. I'm picky enough but VERY picky when it comes to inside bars. My favorite way to play inside bars is at very strong support or resistance areas. Meaning very very clear areas where price breaks out of that area and pulls back to either sit on the support or breaks down and pulls back to the resistance. THen I want to trade AWAY from that area.

WHat happens to most is they try playing inside bars on say the hourly and they are littered all over the chart. When getting good at spotting great confluence and location they should be added last to ones repertoire in my view. But yes the upside of inside bars are tight stops and large runners. But again it always comes down to the story of any bar we take.

Hope that helps
Mike

Hey Naz

James got pretty burnt out and was sidetracked with his real estate for some time now. BUT We've been working on the new site so you're going to see him popping back very very soon(for real soon )

Long term buy setup - UCAD

I do not post here often, but have been waiting for this setup for months..... I cannot post a picture (Will when I get back to the USA). But in the mean time, look at UCAD. Look at Long term month trend line break and retest. Look and lower supporting trend line support met. Look at horizontal resistance now becoming support, look at Fib line retrace just met.

There are so many lines of confluence here on a LONG term monthly chart I am giddy with excitement.

The last time I saw this type of opportunity was when USD/JPY broke the long term downward trend line. Anyway, enjoy guys. Open to comments as well.

Agree regarding USDCAD. With respect to inside bars I trade them successfully (approx. 60-63% win rate at 1R). The key is to trade them the way you should trade everything else. Try to go with the trend and avoid going against support and resistance. If you're in a ranging market wait for a breakout. They tend to perform when the market is in an impulsive mood.

i've closed out of this one for a nice profit

Suspect there's a cluster of stops above, watching if price will trigger them.

as for me there is breakdown triangle with the trend at D1 and H4 of EURAUD
caught the part of first attempt. when price stalled I expected pullback to the triangle bottom. This point coincides with the 61.7% Fibo.
limit order at this point and sell stop after sellers absorption.
still in deal as price breakdown 00 number.

{quote} Hey Mike, Yup, Im still in this one. Looking for the 'new' pattern to push price lower. However if price does move to the upper trendline, could look to see a break upwards using the BRN. {image} Also another chart that needed a little 'adjusting' {image} Take care Dan

Hey Flash

If you are looking for a solid demo with a lot of pairs check out FXpro. They have some futures and a few stocks. If you want an all in one check out thinkorswim. I don't like to talk about brokers I use since they are such a personal thing. I use a bunch of brokers so if you want info shoot me a PM

Hello all!

Stumbled upon this thread while googling for any fans of Martin Pring on forums.

I'm a medical doctor, turned Fx and futures trader. I've taken a sabbatical year from medicine to travel the world with my beautiful wife and trade. Internship and residency burned a bit, so here I am!

I trade price-action breakouts+retests as well as confluent trendline/pivot zones (as you guys call them, I nicknamed them role-reversal-zones or RRZ). It's quite nice to find a community with similar trading styles as myself.

Anyways, thought I'd give a feel for the type of trades that I do take. I took 9 last week, 8 were a success. Here are a few of them.

Hello all,

I'm short EURCAD and just moved to BE.

This is one of my favourite types of setup. Trend -> followed by period of consolidation and a breakout-retest of the consolidation with beautiful price action. I would have ideally liked to have seen a psych level as confluence.

I'll try and post live when I can - I entered using splashtop on my mobile phone at the time as I was having coffee with my lady hence the retrospect posting.

The navy blue line is what you guys call the FTA. I have a very similar style and I refer to this line as the FZ (first zone).

Cheers!
Lester

I thought I'd throw up a chart of a pair I have a keen eye on which is the EURCAD. I'm BE, my other EUR trade so as per my rules, I am happy to take another position with the same currency.

It's a similar setup as my last post. I'd say 98% of the time I do not pay attention to fundamentals (I'm purely technical and damn proud of it!) but this is that other 2% of the time. With the current Ukraine-Russia tension, among other factors I've got quite a bearish bias on the EUR pairs.

Now, check out this price-action story: Downtrend, consolidation wedge. I would expect to see a breakout to the downside, and a retest of the 45000 level. I'll be waiting for PA here and will sell with the rest of them. Swing wise, I'm expecting to see a test of the 44500 level but only time will tell (only the market is right 100% of the time!).

Trade safe, all.
