Here's an IB trade I took on the GBP/NZD this week.
formed at an absolute swing low for the pair, and was authoritative in nature...
Was there any doubt where price was going once it broke the IB and very early in the day? I am lucky as hell to have none for the setups I know are mine.

Look where price is today.

Not every day is a Sunday...
This ripe cherry gave me nothing after giving off a pleasant aroma when price was 0.5R my way...wasn't prepared to let this hurt me from that stage onwards,
The setup eventually worked out and is the best sight of the day for me today.

Don't know why but I have always liked to take my IBs which are mostly occupied by the open and the close only...can't even decipher any logic behind such a feeling, maybe a personal thingie...
but obviously for the reasons you mentioned it wasn't one to be thrown in the bin...
Like I have mentioned I LOVE to watch setups which I don't take, play out and this was amongst them,

You were not wrong in locating that the pin bar was right where we want it to be,
you were also right in realizing that it still wasn't an A+ setup.
Look to the left of that setup. we are trading in a huge mess. Now this "mess" is a true heaven for trading when you understand that your approach has to be slightly different in such market conditions as compared to strong trending markets.
The first thing that would light a bulb in my mind would be that the pin bar (small in size which is already a -ve) did not break on the next bar. Because a ranging market can shop you out real quick you must protect yourself whenever you can at times by passing on <A+ trades and other times watching even the greatest of setups very closely.
Stay at it buddy it takes time for all these puzzles to form a recognizable picture...

you don't need to hate it Dan,
It's how it is meant to be. If they refuse to move a step towards success to come closer to it...they're probably better off without it.

Nice. We have quite a few dog enthusiasts in here...
