Which makes it extremely important to be aware of classical TA in addition to the pin bar setups.

Decided to look up pinbars to see where this idea came from and now I know why I keep hearing about the nose.
It is because Pin is short for Pinocchio!
Made my day.

It's a recognised disease - Pinbarencephalitis (Eleusine coracana)

I suffered from it once...

...every chart - all I could see was pin bars

Even the dried snot and pubes stuck to the monitor made pin bars.

There's only one cure....

......Point and Figure charts

actually in my haste to post .. I see that is isn't a very good double bottom .. looks like the level has to be tested again.
 
No problem - it was in profit at 37 mins past then it reversed and formed a bearish pin the other way.

Thanks, check my CMC chart and the ADVFN chart .. no pinbars .. - can't have them all I suppose .. but if the futures chart is the only one showing a pinbar .. well .. I guess it must have less impact (assuming people are trading on pin bars or the conditions that produce pinbars, consciously or not)

I am looking at three daily pins tomorrow:

Nasdaq 100
Sugar (London) March
Carbon Emissions Dec 08

None of them are perfect but will certainly make it into my portfolio to watch intraday.
