Seems that the PinBar system works pretty well! I use H1 and D1 time frames. Still need to perfect the exit strategy on the 'free trade' - I guess leaving S/L at break even would increase the pip gain rather than setting a 25-30 pip trailing stop... We'll test - we'll know :)

Tough time to trade - everyone is expecting the news... Market can explode in either direction.
Yesterday Silver and Gold began their raise towards long term MAs - but... I'm not interested :P I stick to the system and await PinBars.
Happy trading!

It seems that the system has about 80% accuracy, when 'dumb trading', e.g. taking opposite positions just based on signals. The accuracy can increase by another 10% if the trades are more conservative and only the signals from highest time frames are traded (e.g. if you have long signal on D1 and short on H1, you only trade D1).

It's probably worth mentioning that trading this system takes about 1 hour each day:
15 min for D1 time frame and 15 min for H1 time frame each morning
15 min for H1 mid day
15 min for H1 in the evening.
Morning @ London Open
Mid Day @ NYC Open
Evening @ NYC Close

OK, I begin having some conclusions around agriculturals - it seems that sugar is not really following the pinbar patterns... On the other hand currencies, gold and silver follow it perfectly! so from now on I stop trading sugar in this system.

It's been interesting couple of days. I have been trading on my real account and it turns out that trading on demo in parallel is not easy :) so for sure i missed some opportunities. Last night I entered a long on VIX, keeping in mind all those uncertainties in Europe - it seemed like a good move with a decent gain. I believe VIX is still about to go up (i entered it some minutes ago on my real account as well) as the discussions in Europe intensify the market. Cheers
