This technique differs from the classic pattern recognition approach before its time. Nowadays, candlestick charts are preferred by Forex traders all over the market. The pin bar has become a single candle. If you want to use pin bar in Forex, then you must know about these five pin bar strategies, such as:. Classic analysis patterns had a big disadvantage of consuming a lot of time and this problem formed on bigger time frames especially. A trading setup that uses a pattern recognition approach requires a take profit and stop loss suitable for the money management system.

Due to the automated trading these days, the price action is determined by sophisticated trading algorithms that are in search for some stops.

Classic patterns are detected by them quickly, and the algos are positioned against the crowd after that. Due to this reason, patterns like head and shoulders, double and triple bottoms, triangles, wedges, cup and handle, and flags sometimes fall while trading currencies.

All of them consume tremendous amounts of time. When a triangle is formed by the market, it trades in a narrow range only until the b-d trend line is broken. However, when a pin bar is used as a part of a classic technical pattern, the chances for it to reach the take profit grow.

This is why traders use this signal and trade more aggressively when a pattern is reinforced by the pin bar. Confluence zone is formed when a reversal is pointed from the same area by two or more technical indicators. It is difficult to break such places, and the rule of thumb states that the area gets stronger with the time frame getting higher.

A confluence zone can be a support or resistance level by coupling with any of the other technical patterns. For instance, if a double bottom is formed by the market on an area that acted as a support level previously, then that is a confluence zone.

The same can be said about pin bars. When a pin bar is formed as a part of a different pattern, a strong reversal potential is signalled by the market. Generally, support and resistance are formed on the horizontal as it is the easiest way of spotting excellent support or technical areas.

However, it is more difficult to break dynamic support or resistance levels. They rise and fall with the price action and offer exceptional places for adding while trend trading.

Traders need to draw a trendline following price closely to find resistance levels or dynamic support. The line of a trend gets started from two points, and after that, it is projected by the traders on the right side of the chart further.

In a bullish trend, you can connect the bottom with the first higher low by identifying the series of higher lows. These are the two points required. Next, you may drag the trendline across the right side of the chart. Every time the price reaches the trendline, it is met by dynamic support. However, you need to be careful about the number of times the trendline tested by the price. The more times it touches it, the trend becomes weaker. Since the pin bar is a single candlestick, when it is formed against a trendline, a continuous pattern is signalled by it, not a reversal.

The bullish trend comes to be reinforced by it and the market shoots higher. This works especially when the trendline is tested by the price for the first time after the connection of two points.

A weakening trend is seen in multiple resets, so, traders avoid the third or fourth time the resistance or dynamic support appears. The traded volume is also reduced instead sometimes. There are two types of wedges, such as rising and falling. A rising wedge signals weakness, while a falling wedge is bullish. While the formation of a wedge, the price action gets confusing. The market either makes lower lows and lowers highs in a falling wedge or makes higher highs and higher lows in a rising wedge but it follows no meaningful conviction.

A wedge is given shape by the trendlines. They meet at a common point until the wedge is broken. Most of the times, the price pierces the opposite trendline before breaking the wedge. When this happens, traders go for a pin bar. It is confirmed that the market indeed reverses due to the confluence area. However, regardless of any situation, using the pin bar classically always works. Moreover, trading the wedge also provides another trade.

The market deviates from the main trend line sharply in strong trends. In such cases, the angle becomes more aggressive, but still, traders repeat the process. Following the steps, another trading setup appears. The dynamic support is tested by the price for the first time long after you drag the new trendline this time. Hence, two bullish pin bars are formed.

The following three days show bullish price action only, along with the risk reward ratio. These five pin bar trading strategies are simple to its approach to technical analysis. Currently it has moved pips. My question is, where do you place your take profit. Should I wait for a reversal pin bar to foam or it is guess work. I would like to know did you see that pinbar also on the daily on aug 29 you can easily see this?

The lesson is really eye opener for me. I am looking forward to your next lesson on entry and exit pin point strategy. I am really struggling to identity the right place to enter and exit a position.

Good afternoon Justin, I have been trading with pin bars or at least I have been trying according to their explanations and they have been very productive, but I have had a problem in some occasions to identify if it is bearish or bullish since the color does not matter and this has been my difficulty, because when the trend is bullish and makes me a pin bar after a correction in some occasions this is black body and other white body and I confused this.

But I wait with the practice and read and reread the explanation to overcome this confusion. See you and thank you. Hello, how long pin bar signal on D1 is valid for you? I mean how many D1 candles or other candles couses this signal is not still valid. Follow the people who make the money because they must have found a way to do that.

Sir you are really indeed a blessing and a good mentor to the up coming fx trader, good stuffs💪. Why does the pin bars look like they are hammers doji and shooting star they all have the same body style and they are use different terminology Is it because it depends on whos talking about the trade. Thank you Justin for this material — it has helped clear off some clusters for me.

Nice job. Thanks for these publication. I intend to start trading pin bar. I noticed the EURAUD chart on the daily time frame, the moving averages have not crossed. How wise is it to trade trade base on that. Or one should ignore the MA in such instance. Does the color of the pin bar make any sense or is it just the size and the ratio of the body and tail?

The bearish pin bar must be black and the bullish white? I hope to trade them better now as I put to practise what am. Leaning Regards. I am very thankful for your post.

Hello Justin, great article you have here, very helpful. But I have some issues with the analysis of the pin bars,. Firstly, the analysis was done like you were looking at the market after everything had formed, not as if it was still forming. I believe if you put an analysis of the pin bars as if the market was still forming it will be more helpful. What I mean is the analysis is more of a post-trade analysis than pre-trade. Mr Justin really helping and your notes are helpful indeed but I want to ask how do I use lot size and pip on my small account as a new trader to avoid using blowing my account in one trade… send my aswer via email or Whatsapp my number Your site has really helped me out a lot, thanks for putting it up for us 🙏.
