1# Pin Bar (Price action stratey) Trading System

Submit by Forexstrategiesresources
 
A Pin Bar is a candlestick pattern where the body of the candlestick is very small and has a very long wick.  There are two types of Pin Bars a Bullish Pin Bar and a Bearish Pin Bar.
A Bullish Bar is represented by a small body at the top and a long wick below, this indicates that price was sold down by the bears and then immediately bought straight back up by the Bulls. In a perfect world the close is above the open for a bullish pattern and no wick at the top of the body. The opposite of this is true for a bearish pattern.



How to trade
Locate support and resistance levels on the forex chart
  • Look for pin bars at resistance highs and support lows
  • Go long at support levels after a pin bar has formed
  • Go short at resistance levels after a pin bar has formed
  • Enter a trade at the halfway point of the pin bar
  • Place stop loss above the pin bar
  • Risk to reward: 3 to 1

               2# 2B pattern Trading System Reversal Trading Techniq



2B for the first time pattern (excellent and very strong reversal trading technique) has been described in the book of Victor Sperandeo. pattern 2B apply as soon as the market price creates a new maximum or minimum, and then significant pullback. Following the implementation of the rollback, the price is once again trying to test generated a maximum or minimum price. Once this testing of “new” maximum or minimum is unsuccessful, it is a signal of potential reversal previous price trend.

In an uptrend, if prices penetrate the previous high but fail to carry through and immediately drop below the previous high, the trend is apt to reverse. The converse is true for downtrends."
[Vic Sperandeo in "Trader Vic: Methods of a Wall Street Master"]

Another name for the 2B is "spring." Imagine the blue line in the graphic as a rubber band. The bigger the poke above the blue line, the stronger the reversal potential if the breakout fails. This same principle works on failed triangle breakouts and failed trendline breakouts. If you were unfortunate and bought the breakout, instead of putting just a stop loss at the X, consider making it a stop-and-reverse. This pattern occurs at the tops and bottoms of consolidations as well as at major reversals.

When market makes new high or new low, there is always a pullback .After the pullback the market will retest the previous high/low. If the market fails to hold the new high/low, it signals a potential trend reversal. Trades orders are entered to sell the low of the bar trying to breakout or buy the high of the bar trying to breakdown. Target: The target is usually the ‘swing low’ prior to the new high or ‘swing high’ prior to the new low. Stop: Protect your ‘long’ trade entry by placing a ‘stop’ below the recent low and protect the ‘short’ trade entry by placing a ‘stop’ above the recent high.
