a Bullish Pin Bar trade

Stop Analysis
Now we know our Entry and Target let's work out a better Stop...
We are trading a break above the High (Low for a Bearish Pin Bar)
And our Reward is
Target - Entry or Entry - Target for a Bearish Pin Bar
Lets use an example...
—<$<$<— Entry
Terget : On a break above the High
Entry + (Entry -“Experts” of the Pin Bar
Stop (Low of the Entry = 1.5250
Pin Bar (1,5010))
Reward = 240 PIbs
Target = 1.5490
Stop
Now, depending on how aggressive you are you can choose your own
Risk/Reward profile to calculate your Stop
You can apply 1/4 say or even 1/8, it's up to you ~ We will use 1/6
Our Reward is 240 PIPs so our Risk will be 240/6 = 40 PIPs
Now we place an order to trade the breakout
Buy at 1.5250 with a Stop of 1.5210 and a Target of 1.5490
If the breakout is successful 1:' time we make 1/6 Risk/Reward
If it is unsuccessful (we get stopped out) we place our order again
We can be wrong up to 5 times and still make MORE money
than the “Experts” (if the Target is hit)
So.
If the 1* breakout trade is successful we make
6 times MORE money than the “Experts”
If the 2nd breakout trade is successful we make
5 times MORE money than the “Experts”
Ete
If the 6th breakout trade is unsuccessful we can conclude that
this Pin Bar set up is invalid and we will look for our next
opportunity
We called this the
“Better” Pin Bar Strategy
We hope you agree!
