Forex trading strategies – Should we or should we not take this trade?
Today’s post is one of the forex trading questions that i got over the weekend which i thought would be helpful to share

Question:
I spotted a pin bar pointing down with the 150ema supporting the
cadjpy. The daily chart seem to be heading down but the weekly chart seem to be going
up. In these case, is it safe to sell as the day seems to be heading down
although the weekly still seems to be pointing up?
My Reply:
No, when i trade the daily forex chart, i will make sure the daily and the weekly are
in the same side of the trend.
Although its a price action pin bar off the 150, but the pin bar looks too small to
take away the strength of the uptrend. I may be wrong on this, but given the
small pin and the weekly uptrend. i will skip this trade.

Follow up:
True enough, the price action pin bar failed to take price down and its stoploss was triggered. Had we placed our stoploss at the top of the pin, we would have gotten stop out.
Take away Tip:
Pin bars happen & form all the time, it is by picking the right ones to trade in. There are several criterias which we use to call for a good trade and that is taught in our Winning Asia Forex Mentor Price Action Forex Course.

In that case you would never really take a pin bar at a top of trend (as these are invariably when the weekly bar is up) - you are only taking pin bars in the direction of the trend?

The thing is that before entring a trade, we should see calculate chances of success. This analysis will affect only traders with an average trading length of more than 1 day. A day trader can enter by carefully analysing pin bar behaviour in that day. By "carefully" means exiting from trade as soon as a reversal pin bar comes up.

So you are looking for a pin bar within a pin bar - usually I find pin bars in small timeframes not that useful for determining the direction of the trend or reversal. Tends to be the pin bars against the main trend are false and price reverses against them quite quickly unless the market is in consolidation.

Yes. These articles can be found on multiple forums. I think he should also participate in discussions so that he can answer to traders about questions arising from these articles.

Yep! He could easily show it with a signature showing his % gain like a lot of people. If he is such a good mentor, then surely he will have great results! We should barrack every thread he starts with demands of showing his equity curve and drawdown!
