The pin bar is a prevalent price action strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n It makes a candlestick shape, much like Pinocchio’s nose.<\/span><\/p>\n Hence, the “Pin bar” is a modified word for the term Pinocchio Bar.<\/span><\/p>\n The pin bar represents sharp reversals of trends or rejections of price levels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n These frequently appear when there are strong trending moves in the market, creating a break in the momentum of the price.<\/span><\/p>\n This break is called a “lie” or false move because the price can come back to the previous candle’s range.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Short-term traders mostly enter during price breaks. Seeing a candle, they can be deceived in the wrong direction.<\/span><\/p>\n However, pin bars can be pretty valuable for us during price reversals, as we shall see.<\/span><\/p>\n They have a long tail called a shadow, or wick.<\/span><\/p>\n The longer the shadow, the more reliable the formation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This tail depicts that the price area was rejected. It also shows that the price will now start moving in the opposite direction to which the tail is pointing.<\/span><\/p>\n The real body is much smaller, and I the area between the open and close of the pin bar.<\/span><\/p>\n A bearish pin bar has a longer upper wick signifying higher prices being rejected. In contrast, a bullish one has a longer lower wick and shows that lower prices were rejected.<\/span><\/p>\n Entering it <\/span>at the market <\/span><\/i>means we enter at the set market price.<\/span><\/p>\n The second way is to enter on a <\/span>50 % retrace<\/span><\/i> of the pin bar. This means that we have to wait until the price is retraced halfway from the pin bar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n At this 50 % level, we would have already placed an entry limit.<\/span><\/p>\n Another way we can enter is at the <\/span>on-stop entry<\/span><\/i> point. This is just above or just below the high of the pin bar.<\/span><\/p>\n The best way to trade in any market is undoubtedly <\/span>trading with the trend<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n Pin bars can give us the green light to enter a market with a high probability of entry. That, too, with a decent risk to reward ratio.<\/span><\/p>\n We can also <\/span>trade against a trend<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n For this, we need to look out for pin bar reversals \u2013 where the price significantly moved upwards or downwards.<\/span><\/p>\n When we trade with other price action patterns, we call it an <\/span>inside pin bar combo<\/span><\/i> pattern.<\/span><\/p>\n These work best in trending markets.<\/span><\/p>\n It is ubiquitous to see an inside bar forming in the same range as a pin bar.<\/span><\/p>\n Lastly, we have a <\/span>double-pin bar pattern<\/span><\/i>. This is when we have back-to-back pin bars.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n We can trade as we do normally, using this. We will also have slightly more positive confirmation as they represent two consecutive price rejections.<\/span><\/p>\n Pin bars represent reversal situations, picturing how bulls and bears fight to move the price upwards or downwards.<\/span><\/p>\n There are different ways to enter a pin bar while trading, each with its own ways of trading.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n References and Citation:\u00a0 <\/span><\/i>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7j9p-Lgv8lw<\/span><\/i><\/a> , <\/span><\/i>https:\/\/www.fxcc.com\/what-is-pin-bar-trading-strategy-in-forex<\/span><\/i><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The pin bar is a prevalent price action strategy.
