MOST POWERFUL TRADING SETUP
The fakey setup is a powerful trading strategy that can be used to identify high-probability entries in the forex market. It combines three different chart patterns and requires the trader to be patient and wait for the right setup to form. With a bit of practice, traders can become very proficient at spotting fakey setups and taking advantage of them.
Fakey setup begins with an inside bar or false breakout pattern. This is when price breaks out of a range but quickly reverses and closes back inside the range. This shows that the breakout was false and signals a potential reversal. The false breakout is followed by a pin bar. This is a strong candlestick pattern that has a long tail and a short body. The long wick indicates a rejection of a certain price level.
Simply put, this setup is formed when a false breakout of the triangle pattern occurs. The inside bar is actually a triangle if you look at the small timeframe, and its false breakout forms this strong setup. On a bitcoin chart for example, you can find many such setups. This is another version of the fakey setup. Where a false breakout of the triangle leads to a strong bullish movement. In the forex market this setup is traded as usual.

The main form occurs when one of the highs or lows of the mother bar breaks with a bar with a long tail.
IMPORTANT TO KNOW *️⃣
In the forex market the fakey setup is traded only on H4 timeframes, better on D1 only on the trend, it is very risky to catch reversals on its tops or lows. As in any Price Action pattern, there must be a confluence point, which can be support or resistance levels. Fibonacci levels or trend lines are right place to take trade if you find this setup. Trading is conducted by pending buy and sell orders. Take profit can be taken at a distance of "stop loss multiplied by n", where the recommended value of n = 2 (there can be more), or at the nearest horizontal level. But each trader's method of exiting a trade may be different.
You can trade fakey setup against the main trend, but like any other counter-trend setup, it must be absolutely obvious with a perfect shape and must be on an obvious and strong daily level. You should not trade fakey against the trend until you learn how to trade this setup with the trend on the daily charts. Keep in mind that fakey on hourly charts has almost no power. Only the breakout of the mother candle following the breakout of the inside bar is a is a signal to enter the trade. Because there was not a substantial breaking of the mother candle as in a significant fakeout, there is a need for further confirmation that the market is actually going in our favor. The fakey is a particularly successful setup since a false-break that developed in the opposite direction of the strong trend suggests that the trend is going to continue.
Even if false breakout of horizontal market support and resistance levels don't happen frequently. The price crosses the horizontal level in the example below, but the subsequent candle bounces rapidly and moves upward, indicating that the level was a false breakout and also forming Inside Bar setup:
A false triangle breakout can be found in any market. Bitcoin really likes this pattern, but in a slightly different form although the essence remains the same. How does it happen? The market essentially consolidates, after a trend movement forms a triangle, and a false breakout of this pattern leads to a continuation of the movement. This pattern can be found from 2014 on the BTC chart.
Fakey is one of the best sets of price action since it reveals market activity and predicts what is likely to occur in the near future. Because a strong trend has both technical and fundamental reasons to move in one direction or another, this setup works best in trend markets. A fake breakout happens when "amateurs" try to buy at the top or sell at the bottom because professional players enter the market and profit from the brief retreat brought on by the "amateurs'" greed and emotional trading.
