"Expecting" reversal is not very usefull thing for me. You and CJ make almost picture perfect trades in pins that is what i try to understand. In my example pins are lower and lower so if I put SL below them or move it to BE after 10 pips in profit I would be stopped out.

There is no spread widening at reversal points as CJ said, i have spikes only during news and some widening at the end of NY and begining of Asian i tested it across many pairs.

How you determine that there will be no retracements/stophunts and time to make entry?

here is my entry bro. i normally wait at daily candle close to see if it pins or not but the strategy said that if you see the fox path ie, a W pattern after stuphunt you take your trade and that was what hapened. if it goes against me i will close it ok.

One more stupid question why you enter trade here? Maybe I should read some books or article about PA or candlestick patterns or S/R or volume? I see 3 "micro" pushes but do they really matter?

i saw stuphunt thats all. i knew it will revers at this level so i was waiting to see that stuphunt and w pattern. i also checked 4hr tf for a possible pin that shows sellers trapped. always think that way ok. its all hapen at level 1 and 3.

when the W pattern is formed, it moves straight away. so my that was why i enter in dat spot

Here you enter in 2nd leg pins without waiting for SH. How you anticipate if there will be any tricks from fox?

always wait for daily candle to close before taking a trade. ie, after asian.
