The information you see below will help you learn to use the Pin Bar as a tool for making profit. This pattern is easily recognised on charts: it’s a candle with a small body, a small shadow on one side and a big shadow on the other. Traders call it “Pinocchio” and consider it a good balid signal for making deals.

Pinocchio usually appears at the top or the bottom of the trend just prior to a turn. The long shadow of the Pin Bar always faces the direction of a “dying” trend:

This candle rests its long “nose” on the strong levels of support or resistance, at which market participants open trading positions. Having reached those levels, the quotes make a u-turn, and a candle with a long shadow appears on the chart.

Pinocchio appears only at the top or bottom of the trend. If a candle of this type appears during a horizontal trend (flat), it does not indicate a turn;
The long shadow of Pinocchio always faces the direction of the trend. The trend seems to be making a push back for a turn with this “nose”;
When a Pin Bar appears far from the support or resistance levels, it is better to ignore such a signal, since there is no technical basis for a turn.

How to make money with Pinocchio?
