I find Oanda's live platform pretty user-friendly. Customer service is so-so, however their charts could be better. For charting I use a free demo broker MT4

Oopps.. I meant TP. sorry for the typo, Btw Jim, what do you think of the pin on USD JPY daily? am currently outside so unable to post my chart. One of the forumer voiced out the concern on bank holidays so PA ytd might be pretty unreliable. Any ...

I caught that one Jarroo, entered @ break of pin. SL somewhere above BRN 1.4. I sure like this one.

Hey Mike! thats fast.. Another qn.. Does it matter how long it took to break the low/high of the pin or you will give it a miss if it do not break by say a week.. ?

Hi guys, I was doing some backtesting and saw one fine pinbar which failed, any explanation much appreciated. Nice long pin here and rejected off 81.00 ppz, the only reason I figure is we are trading into BRN 80.00. Should the bar close below 80.00, ...

Hi antgal, i must really agree that this pin is at a good location and is with 61 fib and rejected off VBRN, however the close of the bar is somewhere in the middle which make it somewhat a neutral bar. IMHO

james16 Chart Thread

Another thing is I would like the pin to close above 131.00. A good PPZ in my opinion.

james16 Chart Thread

Yeap, thanks Jarroo. Upon the break of pin, do you enter the trade or u look for PA at a lower timeframe (if we were trading at D1) to enter the trade?

james16 Chart Thread

One question here, if we were to sell at the break of the pin, we will be trading right into PPZ, so no trade here. Having said that, will we have to wait for break of pin to confirm if the pin is not a false one? Just one question in mind...

Yes, i overlooked that point, my thought was that since price close below 1.32 they next FTA would be 1.30 BRN. A lesson learned. Thanks.

That was very clear and concise mike, never fail to learn new thing from here every single day. Cheers.

Failed BEOB — BEOB failed, cant really think of a reason why this one failed. Anyone took this trade as well?

james16 Chart Thread

Just a newbie view, I like this one though countertrend. Bar bounced off 1.31 PPZ, good long BEOB. Bar closed below 1.3 BRN, @ 23.6 fib retracement. On my demo acc, I will enter trade at break of bar. FTA in this case will be 1.28. My 5 cents worth.

DBHLC EUR CHF — Hi, not sure if this was discussed. DBHLC away from PPZ 1.35. 1) At Fib retracement 61.8 2) On a downtrend 3) Bar close below 1.33 ppz. FTA @ 1.32.

Hi Mike, any reason why you will skip this trade? Looks pretty fine to me.

james16 Chart Thread

took a trade — Guys I took a trade ytd on a 4H chart, pretty careful with this. Few points why i went into this, 1) No traffic 2) Pin got rejected RN 131.00 PPZ (main factor) 3) A nice pin we had there on the 4H TP triggered at FTA 132.00, ...

Very interesting charts you have there Pinbar.

james16 Chart Thread

Alright! Learned an important lesson today. I was only looking through the daily charts and neglected the weekly in this case. Thanks for pointing out.

james16 Chart Thread

Thx for the response ppfx! Am I right to say that if the matching high broke through 0.74 ppz, the chances of it moving upwards will be much higher?

james16 Chart Thread

Matching high? — Hi, is this a matching high as shown in the pic.. I see a defined uptrend. If it is? Any reason why it failed? image Uploaded with ImageShack.us
