Step 1: Find a Pin Bar On Your Chart
*Note This is a stock price action strategy, and a forex price action strategy. I will use a currency pair as the example. Price action charts are with any market and timeframe.
What you need to do first is identify a pin bar that has formed.
Step 2: Look for Past Price Action to Determine Why The Pin Bar Formed.
Why did the reversal suddenly hit a price and then continue back to the upside?
Let’s zoom out a bit on this one hour chart and see if we can see anything that tells you what happened.
Note** you can either look at the current time frame you are on( in this case 1-hour time period) or bump up one or two periods to gather information.
This is what Price Action is all about. No two trades will be the same. However, we can take what we have learned from the past and make the best judgment as to where the price may be headed in the future.
You are essentially like a detective when you trade price action. The point is to gather many pieces of evidence to back up your conclusion. You are trading with confluence. Sometimes simple is best. Study the charts and form an educated conclusion as to what happened and where the price will go.
Step 3: Trade entry
You just enter the trade 2-3 pips from the break of the nose of the pin bar.
Step 4: Stop loss
Place the stop loss 3-5 pips away from the wick. The end of the wick will be a support area. So if this is broken the trend may continue downward. Which is why you place your stop 3-5 pips away from this.
Step 5: Exit Strategy
Your exit strategy will be when you hit the first level of support or resistance on your chart. Price will hit a point and stall out. Once we see the price action stalling out, we exit the trade immediately.
