As the name suggests Pinbar detector is a candle detector indicator that identifies the high probability pin bars in the forex market. Pinbar trading is a price action based trading strategy that gives a very good risk to reward ratio.
Priceaction is the movement of a security’s price plotted over time. A pin bar pattern consists of one price bar, typically a candlestick price bar, which represents a sharp reversal and rejection of price.
The tail of the pin bar shows the area of the price that was rejected, and the implication is that price will continue to move opposite to the direction the tail points. Let’s try to understand the logic behind this trading system with some examples.
Pinbar Detector Indicator Overview
A bearish pin bar signal is one that has a long upper tail and a small body, showing rejection of higher prices with the implication that price will fall in the near-term.
A bullish pin bar signal has a long lower tail, showing rejection of lower prices with the implication that price will rise in the near-term.
Also, it’s very important to understand the context of the market before trading any pinbars. If the market is in the trading range then pin bars can be used for trading entry near support and resistance areas.
If markets are in trend then traders can use pin bars to trade the end of the pullback. Sometimes the failure of the pin bar gives more accurate signals than the pin bar itself.
