TDI cross at 1H TF but right below 200EMA.

I will wait for 4H TF signal before going LONG.

Skyway,

I don't think you can change the line thickness on the tdi.
But you can add arrows... their kinda redundant... you don't need them.

{quote} emmanuel...any idea what the time zone is for that volatility?

Hi Greenb,

sorry, I missed many posts in the past week and now slowly catching up to read the backlog.

I am not 100% percent sure, but it was GMT0 reference as I knew all along but since it is based on Oanda data, perhaps we can verify that in their forum.

{quote} Hi emmanuel, Thank you for all the knowledge/experience/tools that you so freely share with us newbie traders making our learning time so much easier, quicker and simpler. Much appreciated. May I take this opportunity of wishing you a Merry Xmas and everything of the BEST for 2015.[/quote Hi Emmanuell, could you please share, wheh you will updated them, your trade 2015 plan for 4H or daily trading in which I'm more interested in? I cant trade 1H cause I've a daily job I wish to leave as soon as possible when I'll
...

Hi George,

My 4H swing trading and D1 chart position trading will be very much the same as what I have been doing this year and will continue into 2015. Doing the Big Picture Plan for every currency pair is very important for both 4H and D1 chart trading. It is the money management strategy which is different from my H1 intraday trading. I will share something on MM later.

On the other point you made about leaving your daily job, if I understood that correctly I think that is a very important decision to make. I have spoken to a few people who wanted to trade forex for a living and quit their full-time career. From experiences I gathered over the past 7 years, not many made it. My advice is to give yourself time to learn and develop yourself to become a trader. You have to treat that as a profession and follow a training and development structure. That can take 3 years or more, it depends on how much time you put into it and the type of coaching and mentoring you received.

What you can do is by starting to look at trading the forex market for an addition or supplement income to your full time day job. Start with a small account and work at to reach consistent 10% profit every 20 trading days. Only when you have achieved consistent results over a longer time period of say a minimum of 3 years, then you can consider to trade a larger account size and when you achieve consistent results to replace the income of your full-time job, that will be your first step towards Financial Freedom.

Lot more I can write and share on such important topic, but this is not the forum for such topic.

Hi yao,

Just want to say that I am not the leader of this thread. there are many experienced traders here who will help you and everyone who ask questions about TMS here. I will also chip in and share my experience when appropriate.

TMS is the 5-Method and you can read eelfranz' posts in the other thread Craig Harris Stochastic Method and come back here and follow the discussions here.

{quote} Emmanuel, I just finished reading Eelfranz 5-Method, post # 2,571. Eelfranz was really good trader!!! I suggest everyone read the pdf file. The only difference between the 2 system's is: I look at the trend by looking at the "long term guppy's" and us the "pac" to see where the value area is. Other than that the methods are exactly the same, our trading styles are the same. Were on the same page! I changed my trading pairs to 8 just like Big E. eur/usd, gbp/usd, aud/usd, usd/jpy, usd/chf, eur/aud, eur/gbp, eur/jpy I think we should go for...

Hi SJ,

Yes, Eric was a good trader and also a caring person. I read all his posts in FF going back to 2008. At the point when he mentioned he had spent 6,000 hours learning and trading, that connected and made me realised that I have taken the right path. I especially like the way he deal with members in the early ears. He is such a cool guy and that has to do with his age. He also tested and tweak other methods and eventually came up with the 5-Method and 21/233 Method. We all have been blessed to have him with us for those years.

Both the 5-Method and 21/233 Methods are similar trend trading. The use of moving averages can help in building trading confidence for those with less experience to read price action on their charts. Use of moving averages can improve trading, see my post#42,733.
Whether we use the long term Guppy or a 50EMA is a matter of the traders personal preference. 200EMA in place of the 233EMA work just as well. I used the Guppy system for stock trading for many years and since 2007 dropped the Guppy from my EOD trading. I am therefore 'reluctant' to start using Guppy again in forex. It is good to use the Synergy model PAC for new traders and that filters out some of the TDI cross setups when the market has not reached exhaustion point for a turnaround. But having tested the new Synegry_Pro PAC, I think it is an improved PAC over the older one based on 5SMMA H-L.

However, no matter what tweaks we make, the core is of both methods lies in the use of the APB/HA price action and the TDI.

The only 'problem' I experienced when live testing is the various versions of TDI and its setting to use for defining the entry and exit rules. The Syenrgy_TDI_Pro is different from all other TDI versions posted here.

What matters more is the money management strategy traders here must think of to use with TMS. Different trading styles usually differs around money management and risk appetite of the traders.

Getting close to dinner time here and I got to work in the kitchen now. Will be watching the year come to close and a new one open much earlier than you folks in the US.

Have a Blessed and Pipsfull New Year 2015.

Hi Emmanuel I assume that you are able to code? I want an EA with just one indicator, being always in the market. As the attached screenshot shows the change of the coulored dots shoud exit the last trade and enter a new one. I must add that I only have an ex-file. Thanks for your help{image}

Hi wolfsch,

Yes, I do some mql4 programming but I focus mainly on trading tools.

You chart looks like you are using the parabolic SAR sort of indicator.
There are commercial EAs for such indicators. search using Google 'Parabolic SAR' expert advisors and you will find a few.

{quote} What are "the levels"? I have Dean's DOTS, but I'm not always finding those levels helpful in opening a trade. (I think I know the answer: "Read the thread.."

Hi mary4x,

those D.O.T.S levels are based on recent market volatility range. When the market was in narrow range, the levels are usually much closer and when volatility increases the target levels get hit easily.
what is important is to observe the Day Open and the price action when the selected market session open. You have the option to select which market session to trade using D.O.T.S.
Follow the previous Day High Low range and place that against the D.O.T.S levels.
Plenty of videos at the website and you will learn plenty there.

hi dennis,
I don't think I would take it just because I use the PAC and it hasn't closed above it yet, I would wait til candle close at LO.just my two cents, I am pretty conservative though too
