Here's a few pins that have come up on my radar. I may follow this up with some charts or analysis if I decide to take any of them. My pin strength percentage is based on the (high-low) bar size divided by the average bar size of the last 30 bars. ...

Hey Infinity, looks good. It's the same kind of thing that I'm doing too so if you don't mind I might throw up a few that I spot from time to time

Is anyone in, or thinking of trading AUD/EUR? (or euraud!) There's a massive pin from NFP and the daily is looking like it might close the same way. The nose is off the 61.8% fib 16thNov down move. If you've clocked it but are staying out - what's ...

Ok this one was definitely a loser. What I need you guys to tell me is, Is there anything I can learn from this, or was it just one of those failed pins?

I placed a buy order below the pin by a few pips. Although it opened lower I didn't get in at that point, price retraced higher before returning low to get me into the trade. Then shot north once more to where it is now. My stop is a bit above the ...

And another question
I've come up with 5 or 6 pins on US Stocks, how on earth do you decide which to take when they all look much the same?! Here's a list: AAI (not so keen on this one) PTP NHP HCN BXP DLXSilent Service Method

Chris, I think what you said there is a chart is a chart and essentially the volume of a stock traded on a particular day doesn't directly influence your decision to trade - although it does affect trade management in the sense of needing to give ...

On the daily it would also be a break of an inside bar off the 1.04 PPZ. The downside to this is, as discussed in the last few posts, you're going long into the middle of a triangle formed from the weekly bearish trend and minor daily ascending ...

Is anyone currently in AUD/CAD and if so, what was your entry point?

I think I'd move my stop to just below the recent low point at 10460. As MattFX said - there's a bearish trend on the daily although we're currently in a triangle and price has the possibility to explode in either direction so tighten stops to lock ...

Breakfast, here's my picture of that pair. The reason I chose not to take it is that I considered the trendline broken and there was a risk it would hold, particularly as I have 1.3100 as a PPZ.

I'm eyeing up this pin on the silver daily. My only worry is it's size (it's 73% of the 30 day average). What do you guys think? Edit: the longer I watch the higher it's going and the less pin-like it becomes. Think I'll give this one a miss...

Just been re-reading some of the earlier posts in this thread. Does anyone (I know James does, obviously!) here trade the mini-dow using the same candle patterns on a 5 min chart? And what spreads do you get?

I'm looking to take the pin on USD/CAD - it's off the 1.0400 ppz and has good form with plenty of space. First trouble spot the old trend-line above, and then 1.0550. Any thoughts?
