Hey TTP, just wondering how your trade turn out. If it turned out to be just a break even trade . . its still a win.

This was a very good quality PA setup, which I give more leeway on my stop loss location or just place them were they should be place . .above the PA formation in this case.

Either way it was a great setup TTP.

Maybe . But the market is presenting some good opportunities as of late.

And everyone here is posting some really good thoughtout charts. Wihich is excellent.

But I do tend to get carried away at times.

Jarroo do you think this is too tight for this PA based on the quality of the setup. 1.68 seems the next obvious place to move the stop but I also want to give it enough room.

Leon
Very nice ljr. I like your stop loss above the 1.6800 PPZ level. This is exactly what James and Mike teach us.

This is a high quality setup. On top of a potential continuation of a consolidation period. It may just reach the bottom, if not, we are protect with a nice profit.

I like it very much and I don't think its too tight. A close today below 1.6800 would be great.

That 145.00 I saw as a potential problem, you never know with this chick.

So I played "free trade" style, half at 83 pip other half -83. I thought I was going to get stopped out but I didn't, so I like your 140.00.

This happens to me all the time. "If only I would have placed my stop loss above (or below) the given setup I would have been fine." I would say to myself. So I do tend to apply this principle when high quality setups are presented.

Your tight management approach it is a valid one. Here's some ideas on this style:

Tight trade management can be defined as anything tighter then the ideal stop loss placement . . . which is above or below the given PA setup.

Look for PPZ levels (S/R), Round Numbers (the bold the better), previous Highs and/or previous Lows within the PA setup itself to place your tight stop loss. Using a random 25 pip or 50 pip stop loss doesn't make sense, let the chart tell you where the tight stop loss can be placed.

Example on the 2 Day PB Gbp/Chf in orange.

Apply this to your GBP/USD trade and other past setups. Its a fun exercise.

Thanks pippito. The reason behind taking a tight management postion ( for me) is that a larger position can take place. And an understanding that a high quality setup can produce a high momentum move. Which can run to the moon.

The key to learning trade management or learning Price Action for that matter, is to keep it simple and clean.
Why? because its the only thing that works.

Hey marcelnyo. I want to make a few comments on your post here.

J16's "This is Critical" should be applied on high quality setup as well. "PA that is not too good or not in an important place (bad location)" should not be trade in the first place. Sure there may be a setup that's highly confluenced that's not a swing High/Low where this may apply.

Your chart on the Usd/Sgd looks good I would only suggest that you shorted up or fine tune your PPZ levels. Being to big can cause confusion.

The Pin Bar, sitting right on top of a strong PPZ level 1.4050 and at a swing high, was a high quality setup. Although being on the Christmas week would have kept me out.

Knowing myself, if I took this trade I would have went for the 1.4000 and then moved to break even or just above break even and would have been stopped out at the "X".

Please do not take this post badly, its not meant to be. I just thought I would share some comments.

Jim

PS. Was this part meant for me or James16?

I am just thinking of it in this way. If the move down to 1675 was 80% my monthly bills, would I still want to hang on to it over the weekend and fight gaps and early Monday liquidity problems?

"[i]Would I still want to hold on to possibly acquire finance to cover...
Well said my friend. Point taken and understood.

For now, I attach a pic of Cable. What u think guys thinks of the wedge?


Good trades.
Welcome Fxjb.

Nice 1st post. Looking for great locations is what we love to do here. And what makes a great location: Confluence.

The wedge looks good. I like the area you noted. Nice confluenced area; PPZ level, 61.8 Fib and a trendline. All lining up at the same level. Nice. (More noticable on the 4 hour chart)

Some convincing bullish Price Action on the Daily (and/or 4 hour) would be what we look for to support a given PA setup. There may be some traffic issue on this one meaning we would like more space to allow for more movement, but it looks good.

Nice one Fxjb.

Jim

The "Jim" part was meant for you I guess next time I'll just call you by the nickname , because takingthepip's question was specifically asked for you, so I had to write something or else I'd feel very awkward about it later, again, I hope u don't mind

yes it was xmas week but it was so good I just can't resist, so I did risk 1% on it, maybe it was negligence in my part but it works, I even remembered...
Ok, thanks marcel. I just was confused about the "people harrassing you" part. I haven't felt any harassment from anyone.

Big PPZ levels. I used to make them too big myself and they caused me confusion. Once I started refining them down or smaller it helped me a lot.

Round number especially the bold ones, like the 1.4000 on the Usd/Sgd, can't be ignored. Shoot . . Mike doesn't even open a chart without these bold RNs already highlight. And he does it for a reason.

Don't ever feel awkward about commenting on a post, be it addressed to me or anyone. This is why we are here.

I believe you mean the USD/SGD not the NZD/SGD.

This pair does appear to be turning over, meaning the trend may be turning from down to up (Higher Lows). So your Inverted H&S maybe a valid one.

Your Price projections look good. But the Inverted Pin Bar that ghous has pointed out maybe in play. So a break of the Inverted H&S maybe delayed.

The 1.4050 PPZ level supports the IPB nicely. It just depends on the strength of the bullish movement from last week.

I like using the most current High and Low for my fib levels, but I do not think yours are wrong. This area you have noted with its confluence of PPZ levels, 1.0600-0650 RN, fib levels and trendline is definitely worth watching for some big bearish PA.

Nice chart bauerjj.

Hey g_j_ good to see you too buddy.

Weekly BUOB Eur/Nzd sitting a strong PPZ level at a swing Low on a Bold RN 1.9500.

Hey datogio.

That 1.5500ish is indeed a good location. The Daily BUOB didn't pack much of a punch. That weekly PB could be a whole big, as I'm sure you know. We may be consolidation around the 1.5500, who knows.

A hard break of the Weekly PB could make the different.

Looks like the IPB turned out nicely. IPB, when properly located and supported, can be a very valid Price Action formation. Just ask ghous.

Check all the ghous' post on IPB, he was done an interesting study of these formation. You'll be glad you did.

In that case, I think the weekly pinbar actually broked and according to that it is just an "Weak break".

What do you think about this?

Thanks!

PM
So this pair moved 40-50 pips over the weekend, depending on the Oanda weekly close. Well we can't trade on the weekend so we have to deal with what early Monday sessions brings us.

First off, would this weekly PB be something that we would even consider? No, probably not. Does it have potential due to it's location? Yes. But we would like to see some bold Price Action formations to overcome the recent strong move down.

Very valid as Mike said. The reason you feel you got lucky is because you did know or understand the make up behind this PA setup.

If there was a signature James16 PA setup, this one would be close to it. Trust me, there are lurkers out there that just trade these no matter how long it takes.

We have a 50% retracement and/or 61.8 fib retracement from the most current High and Low. Meaning, the Price Action (if presented) at this level will be with the trend. And we all like trading with the trend.

Now just find some confluences that support it. The Pin Bar has the 365 ema and a Round Number (1.6400) at this level. (The 1.6500 would have better because it would have been a Bolder number).

That's it. We now look for obvious 1st Price targets in blue.

Jim

Another example. Rac on Dec 21 2009 on the Usd/Chf.

Now I can't get in the Rac-man's head totally on his prediction of waiting for the 1.015/.02 on the Swissy. But I am sure the retracement levels from the recent High and Low on 12/21/09 had something to do with it.

Yes, this was the one of the main parts of the confluences that gave me the go ahead of the weekly PB, . . . . which I'm still in.

G/C - I initall used a bar break stop to reduce risk right off the bat with this oe becasue of the support below. Price did hit that support and has now reversed hard the other way. Since my stop is reduce I am now goign to leave the trade be and hope that price does...
Hey dmc.

Not sure why G/C is in draw down. Maybe I'm missing something? Did you re-enter on the retest of the break?

I like the 1.0900 but there is many hurdles along the way. The 1.0500 is the main one. If that can push through and act as support I like my prospects.

Nice. d.

This deserves a closer look.

The 80.00 (BRN) is a strong PPZ level, at a 61.8 fib level with the 150 ema. Some nice bullish PA at this level would be nice.

Jarroo do you think this is too tight for this PA based on the quality of the setup. 1.68 seems the next obvious place to move the stop but I also want to give it enough room.

Hey Leon.

I bet you don't think that your stop loss was too tight now that the Gbp/Chf has ran back up.

Nice trade.

Thanks for your help/comments on this one. Really did help.

Great!

And it did close below the 1.6800. The key is protecting ourselves yet allowing room to move.

Nice one, Leon. The next one will go to the moon.

He is a contributor to the James16 Private Thread and does a great job with explaining in depth Support and Resistance areas.

Well, at the risk of being long winded, I just...
You may want to catch up on this thread from say Oct 2009. Clock works is no longer part of the J16 Group.

Other candlesticks or bar patterns can be applied to the J16 way. As you may know from understanding the J16 way, that these patterns are only part of the overall Price Action setups that we look for.

So other patterns are not useless, when used with the overall picture or story of a great J16 setup.

Mark (Raczekfx) has been trading his swings for 15 years now and the what's on his chart is not all that he is looking at. When he shorts on a bullish trend and longs on a bearish trend he knows, better than we can ever imagine, what he is up to.

I agree with...
PA with trend is always the best, i.e retracement PA (with confluences of course).

The Rac-man can spot these walls that stop the trend . . these heavily layered confluenced levels. We can spot them too, but Rac can fine tune them to a horizonal line. lol

g.
My two cents . . . . risky . . .for the reasons you said. But if the trend has turned over and now down (Gbp/Jpy) then PA with the trend . . . could work out nicely.

Hey nasir.

I understand we are at a good location with the Cad and even with Gold. Let the trade develop and come to you my friend.

I know you can make that happen . . . . . you do good work.

I make it almost a weekly ( mostly monthly) to go back over James' and Mike's posts and videos. It really puts you back on track. Although I do have a special liking to their tough talk rants. lol

The location is good . . at a PPZ level (Support level), off a round number and at the bottom of a consolidation period. So we are good with location. But the size is a concern, pretty small. (Much like the Eur/Jpy)

Is it tradable? Sure it is. But I would play it very tight meaning get to break even quickly or spead the risk by taking partial profits.

My advice is stick to A+++ setups while you are learning. Also, be careful with looking back too far for divergence, usually...
Well said Cory. Thanks.

No mistake. This is a valid, confluenced PA setup.

Inside Bar at a PPZ level (1.0650) at a swing High with trendine line confluence. A break below the 1.0600 would be my play.

A hard break would make the difference in my book. (if it breaks)

When price retraces back to resistance ( old support) many times it forms a PIN BAR and this is when i screw up thinking "should i take a short and go with the trend or take this PIN".

It's not a very big issue but i would like to have some helpful views...
I think this is where the higher time frame PPZ levels and their confluences play an important role when trading on lower time frames.

Your blue lines and how you play them is very good, especially in a trending market. But we have to be aware . . . as Rac would say . . .where the walls are that would reverse or consolidate Price.

Leave your blue lines where they are and go to the Daily/Weekly and mark your PPZ levels and see what you see.

The 1.4000 may be that wall and the PB may be its trigger to reverse Price.

just some thoughts nasir.

Jim

Well, on the feed below the size is good. But I would like it much much more at a bottom of a ranging market, instead of facing this huge trend down. There is a big difference.
Personal choice...and tight management - You are good at this J.

Ben

The added support of a ranging market, yes I understand.

When I think of a good size bar I think much bigger . . . . like Mike size bigger. lol

FXMaecenas just wondering if you took this one. Good example of what we do here. (or at least try to do here. lol)

So the next question is how did you manage this one? Stop loss above the IB or above the 1.0700, moved to break even quickly and/or took partial profits?

I believe you were looking for the bottom of the BUB from Jan. 26th. pretty close to a hit on that one.

That bullish PB is making you with the 1.7000 right there yet the 1.1000 not so far away. I see what you mean.

This post is why I manage a trade tightly when all the confluences are not all "Yes". Meaning . . .location good, Yes. Size small (of PA) not good, No.

I see. I think the chart is telling you that you are correct. Which is good because I'm still long from 1.0300. lol

If you look at this way it is a break out, pull back type trade. So yes it is tradable. A hard break would also give confirmation to me. Tight MM of course.

Yes much talk of the Gbp/Chd Daily PB. Looks realllly good.

A bit of traffic infront. A hard break through that . . and/or retest of that . . . . would be great confirmation.

A nice break of that, following the major upper bearish TL would be a nice indication to short.


Personally wish I would have hung on to my long from 1.0250.. lol. Me and my damn intraday.. :P
What was in your intraday that made you close your 1.0250. If I may ask.

Thanks for your feedback, jaroo.

EDIT: Actually it is not a pin but I believe you know what I'm talking about.
Trendlines can be very subjective, but I'm sure Tom Demark my not feel that way. And I may have taken the liberty to form fit this one. But the touches on each side of the trendline do fit.

When looking at PA ouside the A+ realm, the more the confluences they possess the more likely they are to succeed. If they don't meet this high standard then we wait for the next one.

Just some thoughts.

Jim

Ok thanks. I was just curious.

Wow. Nice post there Aaron.

The James16 "This is Critical" was the formula that I needed to push me to the next level. All the time and practise prior to that . . . simply, obvious trade management . . . put it altogether. Crazy at is may sound, it was the less then A+ trades that help me realise the importance of the preivous High/Lows (Traffic) and that the A+ setups had the momentum to break through all of it.

It only took a couple of trades that went to the moon with my stops at break even that made me a believer.

I hadn't spotted that BUOB/neutral bar with trendline pullback on the USDSGD. That's a good spot. It's rare to see daily bar highs line...

Your ahead of the game brother. More then you know.

Good luck!
Wrong wrong wrong.

It was a story with one of the best ending you could have had. Sure it would have been nice for it to go 1000 pips down but it did not. And you protect yourself, perfectly.

You know how many people took a loss on that? Or are still in this trade hoping and praying that if it would just get to break even they would be grateful to the gods.

Don't ever think that this outcome was bad even if once it stopped you out and then went to 2000 pips down. because it will happen.

You sir, are my Hero.

(And I don't trust those new fangled management EAs... I am still steam powered... )

But then, anything that keeps my trade selection to just A+ setups...
I would say 9 times out of 9 it was half. lol

You should try the "free trade" approach (maybe you do). I did that last night and slept like a baby.

In fact, this could be the discussion: if in that case moving stop loss at -30 pips after the price reached +30 pips was a good idea or it was...
I think it was a good desicion to take half off at +30 and then half at break even because the break of Price was pretty strong.

The free trade approach (ex. half +30 other half -30) is always a great way to protect yourself while still giving more room for the trade to run.

Nothing like it. I also think hockey is a sport that involves more brain power than your typical sports, but then again, I'd be sounding like an elitist if I said that. lol

All the talk about the legends, what about the new young guns- crosby, malkin,...
Ditto on the DD Weekly Gbp/Jpy. The 145.00 is a SOB. Thought we would get at least one Daily bar (entire bar) to close below it. We shall see.

There's different types of Price Projection one can use if this uptrend breakout occurs. I'll take the 1.1000.

That 50% is a wonder retracement. It seems to work on so many High/Lows, quality PA, etc. And forget about it when its confluenced. Very strong.

Yeah as a re-entry position after the 1st traget taken and closed. That too. I was taking about stop loss placement on the 2nd half.

I like the way you think Mike.

If it closes like a Daily Bullish Pinbar (as actually), would you consider this as a signal to close the trade ?

Not necessarily.

Let me ask you this . .if the current Daily bar closed just like it is now, as a Bullish PB, would you consider this an A+ trade? No. It's not at swing Low, no confluences that are obvious, etc. It looks more like an IPB, which would work in our favor.

Now holding over the weekend is a different story. I would want more pips under my belt to do that.

If I'm in trade at week's end with say 40 pips in profit, I will close the order. Because who knows what could shake loose over the weekend. If I felt strong about my position and things remain that same early Monday morning, I would simply re-enter my position.

If I was in profit say 140 pips I would hold over the weekend. Stops in place , of course.

Nice chart kayhan. Yes many are watching this location on the Euro with its strong PPZ level and confluences you have noted.


. . looking to go long . . . is a valid bias to have at this level, so we would look for strong Bullish Price Action off this level.

Example 1: Daily Eur/Usd BUOB.
Earlier last year in April 2009. Same relative confluences and strong PPZ level. But note the hightlighted area in Bisque (Bisque? it looks light brown to me), it wasn't falling very fast to get this confluenced level. It kind of chopped its way down making the BUOB a bit more easier to take.

Example 2 : Daily Eur/Usd BEOB Jan 2009.
Here we have the same relative confluences at this location but notice the highlighted area in light brown. The move down was pretty strong. Big red bars. To go long we would need as Mike would say . . . Big Bold Bullish Bars to compensate for this strong move down. Yet a BEOB as a continuation off this strong level and strong move down was not a risky a play if managed correctly. Although these BEOBs are best played off a swing highs.

Example 3 : Daily Usd/Cad Double Inside Bar (Dale's Double) July 2009

Same senario location wise. Price has fallen a long way, very hard. Big Bold Bullish PA for a long or common sense Bearish PA as a continuation.
___________________________________ ___________________________________ _________


The current Euro looks to be falling pretty hard towards this level (1.37-1.38) PPZ, etc. I'm not ruling out your . . . look to go long . . I'm just saying that this situation with the Euro ( as with all good location where Price is heading) should be looked at from both angles.

Do you mean the 38.2 fib level at the 1.43? (for the record 50% ret. is a retracement level not a Fib level, not trying to split hairs. lol)

Anyways, I see more of a retracement to the 1.4000 then the 1.4300 at or prior to reaching the 1.3800ish level. Its been a strong move down.

Yes, good PA as the trigger.

Many trades take off and provide a small profit at first, but if you move the stop to break even after only 30 pips, don't you get stopped out too often?

The "free trade approach", which is the basis for the DIBS method: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=86766 ,

is way to position yourself where your worst outcome on a given trade is a net zero pips. Thus a "Free Trade". Moving to break even quickly after Price moves a certain amount of pips in your favor is considered a free trade. Worst outcome: Zero pips.

Another example; splitting the postion:

This Double Inside Bar setup (Dale's Double) on the Weekly Gbp/Jpy.

I try not to use a fix amount like 30 pips or 50 pips but let the chart tell me by the 1st trouble area, be it major or minor.

My entry short was at 146.55 it hit the 1st minor area of trouble and I closed the 1st half for +83 pips then immediately set stop loss above the entry -83 pip away. And Yes, I'm still in this trade and it was close.lol

Thanks Mike I should have been more clearer. Some free trades can have money is the bank. Meaning 1st half in the bank, 2nd half at break even.

Thanks

Jeremy
My 2 cents is that you manage the trade on the time frame that it was given. PA on the Daily . . . . PPZ levels, High/Lows, traffic used just on the Daily.

It can get confusing if you jump down time frames to manage or look for traffic.

Take the current Gbp/Chf Daily bearish PB. Nice solid PB with clear PPZ levels or trouble areas. The 4 hour bullish PB looked great and it worked out great. It hit its target. I would not look at this 4 hour bullish PB to get out of my Daily bearish PB.

Although it is a way to manage trades very conseratively. Meaning if you got out of your Daily bearish PB because of this bullish 4 hour PB. I would not say that it was a bad decision.

I got many questions on how I managed the BEOB Daily Cad. I thought I would share them here.

I closed my 1st half for 27 pips and my 2nd half was closed at break even.
I do think that this is a high quality setup, is it an A+ setup? Probable not due to the traffic and I would have liked to see the swing High higher , like at the 1.1000.

I could have done the free trade approach, meaning the 2nd half stop loss placement would be -27 pips for a net zero result, but I did not. I wanted Price to prove that this setup had the momentum to get through the minor trouble areas in blue.


Those of you that have taken it with their stop loss above the BEOB, it is a valid placement. I do believe it will hit the 1.0500 before it will it the 1.0700. But then again maybe it won't.

My trading stlye is very comfortable to me. It allows me to place an order on a setup with a very good chance that my worst outcome will be a "no loss" trade. And my best outcome will be riding on a runner.

Believe me, when I turn off my computer and go about my business (or sleep) I never have to "worry" that my trade is say -148pips and growing.

Just some thoughts.


Jim

Thanks SP.

One really has to figure out what their style is and run with it. It's funny , one style can grow to other styles over time. But for me its managing risk to point of comfort, which is zero risk. lol

I've been enjoying your interview with Fiji. Great stuff, brother.

I'm sure your asking yourself . . . . is this how Jack Schwager got started. lol

Hope there is more in the future.

The ema didn't influence the trade because it wasn't confluenced with the setup. Divergence would have been nice but not a trade breaker for me.

Yes, pure PA, off a strong PPZ level 1.0650 and RN 1.0600 and Daily trendline. It still has a very good chance of falling further but just a bit to choppy for my likely to stay with the trade.

I like the setup and would take it again in a heart beat.

I prefer just using two consecutive candles but you can use more. Remember that a Weekly PB is just a 5 day PB. So there can be many different combinations. I prefer just the two consecutive candles.

But, as you know, it is where these combinations are located and the confluences that support them that is the key to their success.

jim

I think we're both conservative after the break. I'm sure Mike would differ with us on some of our setups before the break. . . . lol


and I plan on riding for a whole lot longer, brother.

I agree g.

The best advise I give to people that ask me is to read and veiw all of James16's post (especially the rants), charts and videos every day.

This stuff works.

It's better for my taste to take little profit most of the time and get 1-3 runners a month.

Thats how we roll Manu.

A+? Probably not. Lets see how it breaks. (if she breaks)

Not to brag but this trade on the Weekly Usd/Chf PB has been so easy to take and manage its not even funny. Sure its not the biggest PB but the location fit the bill. After the break (10 pip buffer) it saw no drawdown and flew to the moon.

But the locations look good and the breaks look even better. Manage them wisely, my friend.

2. Move stop to B/E
3. Nothing!
4. Take partial profit, move stop etc.

It's then a case of trading your plan.

In your case it looks like you traded your plan, so why are you cursing (presume you got out at B/E), preserving capital and a B/E trade should be considered a 'winning' trade. If you are cursing a B/E trade...

The "cursing" is the the old habit showing its voice. lol It takes awhile to shake them away. I know it was for me. I know the feeling.

Thanks ghous. Pretty simple trade. Although my pip value was not 150 a pip, but I'd like to think I would have manage it the same way if it was. but I doubt it.
