Fix Pivot Point Forex Indicator – Trading using pin bars in combination

As a forex trader, you are keen; you shall notice that some bars or candles are formed with a long tail or wick than the body. These are called chart pin bars or exhaustion candles. They can be bearish or bullish chart pin bars.

The bullish chart Pin Bar has a tail end that points down. It shows there is a market price reversal that is about to happen. If you place an arrow at its tail facing the body, it will point to the direction of the chart reversal, which in this case is upwards. This bullish chart candle shows that the market is rejecting further lower prices or levels of support. Therefore if such a chart candle is formed, the prices will likely rise.

The bearish chart pin bars have their tail end pointing upwards. If you place an arrow at its tail facing the body, the arrow will point to the direction of the chart reversal, which in this case is downwards. This bullish chart candle shows that the market is rejecting any further higher prices or a level of resistance. As a forex trader, if such a candle (exhaustion) forms, then are prepared for prices to head downwards.

As a forex trader, you should target the close of the chart pin bar and then open a forex trade in the direction that the pin bar points (placing an arrow at the tail end pointing to the body).

However, it is tricky to determine how far the predicted trend will go after opening a position. When you enter a live trade, you are targeting good profits as fast as possible. So you must be very sure when to put trade and when to close the trade.

Based on the above drawback, you must combine pin bars with an indicator to get a 100% result. The most convenient forex indicator to use is the fxi_pivot point indicator.
