Trading pin bars with confluence
Confluence happens when many technical indicators generate the
same signal, this trading concept is used by price action traders to filter
their entry points and spot high probability signals in the market.
It doesn’t matter if you are beginner or advanced trader, trading with
confluence is a must, because it will help you focus on quality setups
rather than quantity, and it will enhance tremendously your trading
performance.
Confluence means combination or conjunction, it is a situation in
which two or more things join or come together, for example, if we are
looking for a pin bar signal, we need to find other factors of confluence
to confirm our entry; we are not going to take any pin bar that we find
on our chart.
Factors of confluence:
The trend:
it is one of the most important factor of confluence, this is
the first thing that most successful traders look for on their charts, you
can’t trade any setup without identifying if it is in line with the
direction of the market or not.
A bearish pin bar in a downtrend is more powerful signal than the one
in a range-bound market.
Support and resistance levels and supply and demand areas:
these
major levels have a significant importance in the market, because all
big participants watch these specific areas.
Moving averages:
i personally use the 8 and 21 moving average, this
technical trading tool acts as dynamic support and resistance, and it is
a very important factor of confluence in trending markets.
