Hello melvin87,
just a quick observation (i didnt check for confluence)
the pin in question is embedded into the prior bar (roughly 60% of the pin is embedded; the prior bar is like a giant cloud on an overcast day). we ideally want a PB that is protruding away & distinct from the surrounding bars.

talking about the form, compare this pin to the pins prior April21 (bearish pin) & May19(bullish pin) in your chart.
Hope that helps a bit

Oanda has USDTHB. several MT4 brokers offer it too (nothing comes to my mind right now, sorry,.. just try a few MT4 brokers out).

yes, i believe so.
the key words are protruding & distinct.

just to add some more to mike's reply..
u seem to be concentrating on the less important aspects of discriminating potential setups.

imho, location (S/R, PPZ) & trend are the most important aspects. Fibs, which u mentioned, is just a 'confluence factor', it doesnt hold much weight like the 2 i've mentioned.

u could say that yes there was a PPZ at the PB's low. but there is a PPZ too above the PB. (mike's blue line)
PLUS, trend was down (bearish move prior the PB)
PLUS, the price environment is choppy (with a downward bias: in the context of the downmove from May).
price moves towards the path of least resistance
.
in this case, trend was down, selling was stronger (the pin hardly broke upward) so price went further down, albeit slowly.

hello Bill,
if one traded this IPB, one would've probably gotten stopped out, because of that spike above the IPB (blue bar with long upper wick, after the IPB)
based on my general observation of PA, this (unexpected spike) happens from time to time.
this IPB trade was not picture perfect, but profitable, nonetheless.

Hey Bill,
on FXDD demo... the IPB high is around 0.9805. the spike high (next bar's high) is 0.9811. a tight stop would've been hit. a 10 - 15pip stop would not (depending on your broker).

time-wise, this IPB formed at 9pm EST or 9am Asia... Asian session. this thin session could be the reason why this IPB formed & succeeded (for those who weren't stopped out).
personally i drill down to smaller timeframes to try & make better entries & check PA further.
(no charts...) in H1, that H4 bullish bar (bar after IPB) was a small PB (13-pip PB with a low & close 2 & 5-pip above the IPB's close).
most likely i would've entered somewhere around that PB. i love discount entries
(NOTE: i dont look for/expect runners when i countertrend trade; so this IPB trade will be a quick one)

Let's not get too excited.... newer traders should heed his advice:

IMHO,
trade management is a matter of personal discovery, development & experience.
so u have to find your own way.... using what u learn here as your base/root/jump-off point.

----
if u trade a single position, of course the trade management is difficult in the sense that u are compelled to make a decision (either exit or just trail your stop).
if u have 2 or more positions, it gets easier because u get to exercise several decisions (exit half or a third of your position, then trail the rest or exit at pre-determined areas)

i probably wouldnt have taken this trade because of the size of the pin & location. (& i believe there were better trades during that time, if im not mistaken)
but what i like is the small risk (small pin = small risk)
i just hope u dont go on taking small pins like that always.
always be aware of PA, location, S/R...& u'll be ok, john

ihave been bullish eurgbp (may find that particular post later). still am. above 0.8500 close today is a plus, but i still see possibility of revisiting 0.8400 area.

there is no general rule about the size.
dont get me wrong, i take small pins
i just dont want u to get too comfortable &take all the (small) pins that u see.
PA size is just 1 part of the equation.
location is more important than PA size.

Based on your question, i want to answer with a question:
have u been trading the H4 & up timeframe trading recommendation? (J16 minimum requirements on the first post)

ok.... a more direct answer:
not every PA, no matter how big or small, is tradable.
PA is just 1 part of the equation.
location, S/R, PPZs are too.

u can trade that H1 triangle as a breakout + pullback (breakout of the triangle, on 1 side, then price pulls back to the trendline it broke).
if u are unsure/uncomfortable, then better to wait for that daily bar to form completely.

also, i humbly pose the same question/suggestion to u:
if u havent yet, read more of the thread &/or trade more strictly from H4 & up to develop patience&experience.

Hope this helps,Sir

I appreciate you looking out though, and I understand the whole 'Not just the Bar, but also the PPZ idea. Figured the 3.50 might be a strong resistance point and a BEOB off such a point might be worth watching.
..
i see.
1.3500 may be a strong resistance.
but try to look at it with a context of the price situation & location (current uptrend; S/R, PPZ etc).
price doesnt move straight in 1 direction.... & we either zigzag up or zigzag down, or range.
we either break 1.3500 sooner or later & continue the uptrend. or go down starting from that H1 BEOB u mentioned. or range.
we will see soon.

Sorry i missed your question.
it was sleep time for me when i was replying to questions here last night.
some here use pivots in FX.
1 reason why others dont use it is because pivots can be calculated in several ways. another reason is pivots often line up at S/Rs, PPZs. still another reason is pivots is a 'redundant S/R'.
i have used them before, they work ok. but iremoved them from my charts since last year, to concentrate on going naked (more 'naked' compared to what i did a few years back) & using S/Rs, PPZs.
i might use them again, once my charts get more naked.

if u feel comfortable using it, then go for it!
