Thank you.
I will check it.
Cheers,
Like I told you the other day, everyone thinks they are different. And the sooner everyone realises they are not and stops losing money whilst they learn, the quicker they will be able to actually make money when they are profitable.
Is it a bullish engulfing bar on EUR/GBP weekly? Pls some comment, thanks.
For whatever it is worth I have done what you said I should
Can you post a chart, Edmo? Why do you think itâs BUEB there?
Hi Edmo,
Yes, it is. The only reason it didnât do the buzz is probably because of all the long bearish candles before it.
Yves
Looks like one to me Edmo ,on 0.84101 ,might pay to wait a while to see how it develops,what do others think?
Hey guys!
Jumped on this setup. I have my Buystop at 1.39050 on EUR/CAD Daily.
Pin Bar closed within previous candle
Price Bounced off support and went bullish
Price had a nice little pullback, then reversing back into the bullish trend as we speak
This should be a good one.
Hello there,
Pay attention as I have been following this closely and a lot of senior members in the forum are actually shorting this pair
Keep in mind that this pin bar closed directly below resistance so you will be trading directly into resistance. CHeck the long noise of the PB it is showing quite a resistance on the upper side
Do wait for the input of more experienced members but this is my view of it
Hi Johnathon,
Iâve got a question. Iâm not sure if my observations are correct as im reading the thread the second time but do you think that comparing to now, the A+ setups you posted when you just started the thread are less of an A+ setups? or issit that its actually A+ setup but i become more picky?
Hope to hear from you soon!
Loyal thread follower( ),
Jack
Ah yes, you do have a point. Let me rethink this setup a bit. It seems like Iâm looking at the SR zones incorrectly. If anything, I would of thought I was trading into resistance zone than a line.
I guess where I got lost was that price already broke into that resistance. Thanks for the heads up! Iâll hold off on this trade for now and see what everyone thinks of it!
Thanks!
Hi Apple,
There is no right or wrong in this market.
However that pinbar didnât particularly came with a swing low and a nice support. Doesnât mean it wonât shoot up it means it is not valid in our books.
Hope that clears things up.
Hey Eternal,
I suggested to Msleva yesterday that if he or anyone else is shorting Eur/Cad they should be aware of what was happening on the H12 chart. Simply because a massive pin bar appeared and a smart trader would close a short on such a position.
Something similar occurred with the GBP/CAD daily pin bar short position,when all of a sudden on H4 chart a massive pin bar was created. Suggesting a move in the other direction, smart players reacted instantly.
Cheers

Hallo peeps!
The thread moves pretty fast these days!, have to play catch-up each morning
To be honest, much of the last 17 pages that iâve read has me worried and as sensei Bryce said, a line needs to be drawn.
This method has straightforward rules and a straight-thinking mindset that we are unnecessarily complicating.
[B]1.[/B] A small pin is a small pin, doesnât matter on what timeframe [ #GPBAUD D1, #OIL (WTI) D1 ]
As you go down time-frames, the setup needs to get bigger
[B]2.[/B] If youâre learning the method, STICK TO D1 TF until you are profitable for at least 3 months.
This is not a song we like singing, it is an inherent truth.
If you canât be profitable on a higher, slower-moving TF, guess who youâre kidding when you start on H4, etcâŚ
And as I said, ask anyone whoâs been drinking at this well for sometime, and theyâll tell you their BEST trades still come from D1
[B]3.[/B] FILE THE NEWS!! [ or as Ed Seykota says: stash that (news) flash right in the trash! ]
That includes âsentimentâ tools (e.g myfxbook community outlook).
There are many methods that make use of news/sentiment to be profitable; this is not one of themâŚ
Point to ponder: Which trader ever got ahead by referring to what the herd was doing? [ esp considering that ~ 72% (not 95%) are not consistently profitable ].
[B]4.[/B] EVERY trade has a PROBABLE OUTCOME, we can NEVER know which ones will be winners and which ones will be losers. The only REAL LOSS is when you DID NOT FOLLOW YOUR RULES (NOT the SL being hit).
Focus on the PROCESS, not the OUTCOME. The edge will make sure that in the long run you will come out on top.
And itâs ALWAYS when we choose to up the risk that the losses start coming in [ As Johno said, we are not different from anyone whoâs tried it before, ITâS THE SAME (messed up) MENTALITY AT WORK ]
.
[ Second part ]
Probable outcomes also mean that LOSING STREAKS will happen ( itâs a MATHEMATICAL CERTAINTY ).
So if you want to live to trade another day, thereâs NO SUCH THING as betting the farm!
PS: Johnathonâs example led me to choose the âfixed $ riskâ alternative (as opposed to âfixed %age riskâ), as itâs easier to recover from losses.
Dear peeps, the bottom line is not just learning a method, but developing UNITY of MIND ( a professional traderâs state of mind ).
Unity of mind is what makes people consistently profitable, NOT mastering the market.
If that sounds contradictory to you, recall that we can never know what ALL the human + machine traders in the world are going to do at any given moment ).
Anyone can enter a trade; managing those trades CONSISTENTLY to make more than one loses OVER TIME, thatâs where the STATE OF MIND comes in.
That is why Bryce said to stick to oneâs rules!, regardless of whether itâs 1pip or 200pips difference; trading is a MIND game.
âTrading in the Zoneâ recommendation is a good one, itâs an excellent essential IMHO.
All the best!
Cheers
Hey Apple Forex,
Be careful, your chart doesnât look right, first of all it has sunday candles and it doesnât seem to be NY close. Your Pinbar looks a lot better than on mine.
See correct chart below:

Hi Dudest
Thanks for all this great advice, I was also very interested in this:
Johnathonâs example led me to choose the âfixed $ riskâ alternative (as opposed to âfixed %age riskâ), as itâs easier to recover from losses.
Would this only discussed over at FSO? I currently use a 1% percent per pip risk factor (0.01 for every dollar in my account) which is very basic and wondered whether this was adequate or whether I need a better way of calculating percentage.
Thanks Dudest!!!
BA
Beautiful.
If there is one thing I have learned (And the hard way i can tell you) is that you should always look at the potential money you are loosing before looking at what we might be gaining
Hi Dudest ,
Words of wisdom.
Thanks for your contribution always very insightful.
Cheers buddy.
Just like what George Soros once said:
âItâs not whether youâre right or wrong thatâs important, but how much money you make when youâre right and [B]how much you lose when youâre wrong[/B].â
I personally believe to emphasize on the latter part before the former. [B]Pascalâs Wager[/B], everyone?
