Pin Thanks for your input - some great setups occur on the weeklies but the stops sizes can be huge(pips). Not an easy thing to handle in the early days. Still as the seniors say get the large TFs down first before you move on to the lower stuff. ...

Hi guys Tring to approach this as J16 suggests and focus on weekly/daily just now while learning the PA way. Just thought i would ask this question while some of the thread gurus are on at same time : if you see a setup on weekly but the stop is a ...

Jarroo My ppz are pale blue lines with the arrows - def a bit of space for trade but size of previous bullish bars put me off compared with the size of the pin. Having said that I am still getting to grips with my ppz and hoping to learn a lot from ...

Hi jarroo Just wanted to ask about the US/CHF daily pin. On my feed there are a couple of large bullish bars just before the pin which made me a bit wary. Do these bars make this less than an A setup? kal

Taz For a newcomer to this thread I find your post very insightful. As you say it is all about piecing together a story and reading the market action. Its tempting to just look for pinbars etc but that is just one part of the puzzle. Keep up the ...

Hey Grahame The range is normally thought of as the Average over a period of time. A lot of traders use the ADR (av daily range) when planning their trades so that they can see how much 'room' there is to trade, eg if pair has ADR of 100pips and has ...

Hi guys Just joined FF and found this thread. Just wondering if the 3 SMA trend following system is based on he course by HectorTrader who did something similar a couple of years ago?

Trend Trading All Pairs

Nice charts and interesting to see the terms supply and demand on a chart - makes you think differently about it.

Price is everything

sorry also meant to say most traders want to shoot for big gains(pips) but what is wrong with more modest, consistent gains? On most forums here guys are shooting for hundreds of pips but the more modest approach is more amenable with consistency ...

Hi there I think one of the biggest problems for new traders is the get rich kwik mentality. They should concentrate on learning their craft with the goal of making slow and steady returns with some growth on their account. kal

Hey SC Sorry for the mistake! Third time lucky Will call you right from now on!! Thanks again for your wise post on PPZ - points noted! Kal

Hey Seeking Thanks for the great post on the PPZs - much appreciated. I have just checked my chart for the same pair and my PPZ are very similar to yours so this has given me some encouragement!! Only question I have is can you have too many PPZs ...

Hey cool, Dont worry too much. As SC(a wise counsel) says it takes time and experience and taking the right advice from the seniors here like Jim, Jaroo, Mike, Seeking etc. I am finding it challenging too but if you work at it you will get there. ...

Hi cool I am in the same boat as yourself rying to get a handle on PPZs. The best way to approach it in my opinion is to plot the most obvious ones first. Problem I am having is my ppz 'zones' especially on the weekly are very wide, eg over 100pts. ...

Hi guys Wondering if anyone spotted this DBLHC? Good high close, off the 61 Fib and good space to the PPZ above? Any comments welcome.

Hey Pin Good analysis on the confluence - in particular about the bar closes and none of them being below the PPZ area. This is one of the 'pieces' which I am still trying to put together! I have noticed that this is one of the pieces of the jigsaw ...

james16 Chart Thread

Pin Must agree with you there does seem to be some confluence there. However the size of this bar compared to previous 2 bars makes this less than an A setup IMHO. Kal

james16 Chart Thread

Joe Sorry also forgot to say there seems to be no confluence so this would not be classed as a high prob setup

james16 Chart Thread

Hey Joe One thing to watch out for here are the huge bearish bars just before the pin which indicate bearish sentiment. Also, the size of the pin by comparison is small - may not be enough to stop the previous move down. Looking at higher TFs is ...

Mike Thanks for the excellent chart - you make it look easy, but I know that it's not (for me anyway!). Just one question - would you consider the bars to the left to be 'traffic'? I am trying to learn the principles of space and traffic. Thanks, Kal ...
