Yeah, and as GB said, it appears to me to work somewhat similarly to pin bars as they signal a reversal off a S/R level. Actually, my very first trade (and a win) was off a DBLHC

Thanks guys!
@Courtney: and I'm Gerard. I have shared a couple of my first setups and outcomes some pages back.
Here's a new one: USD/CAD price broke above resistance at 1.2560 and formed an inside bar PA with the 3rd bar being bullish, and ...james16 Chart Thread

This is hilarious! That's one way of looking at it
I'm about 2 weeks into demo trading after reading through this thread. I must say patience and discipline is so important. Scan charts and if nothing jumps out, it's best to close it for the day ...james16 Chart Thread

Looks like a bearish pin bar formed on 2nd July rejecting the PPZ area around 123.75 and the bearish trend line drawn from the high of 5th June. My gut feel is that price will move downwards again in the short term. Maybe you should lock in your ...

Thanks guys! I set my initial stop loss at the bottom of the dblhc. In hindsight, I guess it was a pretty big stop loss. I did position size my trade so that if my trade gets stopped, it would have been the 2% risk that I determined as my risk ...
