{quote} I have always been suggesting other traders to read and study BigE's posts. But you pointing out and asking about the Moving Averages indicates you do not understand BigE's Trading Made Simple method. Try again. Keep trading simple and you will finally understand BigE's Trading Made Simple. Don't do Trading Made Complicated by adding unnecessary elements. The answer is in BigE's posts. #2617 2scoops asked me a long time ago what would be the most beneficial to learning...

hey @tommydog

the same I recommended you to do in this post #122,599
https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...63#post4766563

and same recommendation to all new first time visitors to this thread:

=======================================
we are interested in Big E' TMS and his trading journey.


Introduction to Trading Made Simple aka TMS

To learn what Trading Made Simple is, you have to follow the trading journey of the OP eelfranz aka Big E. He started in FF as a newbie in 2008.
Know the TMS history and you will learn a lot from the OP and when you have mastered his 5-Method, you can then move on and develop your own trading system following how he did his. Many traders have moved on to trade their own systems.

Trading Made Simple for beginners : Post#52,707

A short history by pioneer member snarlyjack Post#110

Our late OP eelfranz aka Big E spent 6,000 hours: Post#6 and he evolved as a trader and went on and developed two trading methods.
5-Method and 21/233 Method Post#3018, Post#4104,

After months of postings and answering many frequently asked questions FAQs,
eelfranz made the jump to this new Trading Made Simple thread on 26 April 2011... Post#4432

In Post#1, he explained how he traded the H4 chart timeframe and he also traded the H1 chart during the NY session. This suited his lifestyle being retired and the time zone he lived. Sadly he passed away in Oct 2012.

Two very important posts: Post#261 and Post#647, give a simple summary of what this 5-Method is and the basic forex stuff we check before we look for the TDI setups to trade.

TMS 5-Method Basic Rules: Post#53,841
Always check the #1- Price Action first, then #2- TDI Post#3142
Big E wanted us to build this TMS thread together... Post#4,432

The original indicators and template Post#25
When you are overwhelmed (information overload) by the number of posts and the loads of information and variations shared by other traders here, the best thing to do is to stop reading and go back to the basics what Big E mentioned in his 463 posts in this thread and 861 posts in the CHS thread. First you learn and master the 5-Method first before you start add your own tweaks and make a new system.

Recommendations:
Read all of Big E posts... 861posts in the Craig Harris Stochastics thread and 463 posts in this TMS thread....and make notes on those training charts he posted. Pay attention whenever he mentioned PA and what you see on his training charts.

Learn the basic stuff about forex trading first. A good place to start is www.babypips.com/school

If you want to trade the way Big E described in Post#1, make sure you use his template , the Synergy APB / HA candles and use that TDI Red Green version. These are in Post#25.

Important to Note that the TDI Red Green version repaints all the bars in history so you cannot use this when you do back-testing by scrolling back your charts. The better way is to run this in live market and trade the TMS setups based on what you see without refreshing your charts. When you want to trade with entries on the APB#1 and APB#2 candles, always wait for the price bar/candle to close and use the TDI to confirm the setup.

Big E was a rule-based discretionary trader. According to studies by Dr Van K Tharp this rule-based discretionary are the best traders,

Enjoy and Have fun during your learning journey...

When Tekkies traded DAX you posted DAX charts, when Tekkies traded XAUUSD, you posted XAUUSD charts. Now Tekkies has a visible Trade Explorer, are you going to copycat Tekkies and have your own visible Trade Explorer linked to what you post here? NAAAA, I don't think so, for you are scared shitless that your Trade Explorer will show the truth how you...

Post 124,914: what I was trying to accomplish (testing)

Having a TE mean you have to explain all the trades placed?
How about this:
Post#647 does not refer to support/resistance as one of the basic forex stuff. Neither any mention of level 68/32.
BigE used and referred to them in other posts as part of his trading.
#4298...... Pay attention to previous swings (# of candles) and your current support and resistance levels.
#121....... You took the trade close to the TDI 32 line which is about the bottom

Friday and today US30 have been against support / below 32 line.
Now price does not want to play ball with me.

you poor thing still struggling with TDI and Stoch trading indices.

you need newer trading tools.

its pandemic and we are all TAH and WFH.

traders-at-home and work-from-home ... its the new norm which we have to start our new life in the endemic. covid-19 is here to stay for very long time... its Mu variant now and until we run out of Greek characters ... there will be COV-SAR3.

Stay Safe
and the 3rd once every 6~9 months.

I just close my sell 34035 with some profit.

Anyway, I need to get some sleep soon and catchup tomorrow.

My Daily chart below:
I have 4 levels below ...34034, 33960, 33979 and 33740.
where I would look for stopping volume at new lows.... This can happen very fast when NYSE bell rings.
enough to find 3 to 5 trades to make $1000.

Hi Tekkies

Are you buying US30 in this market. So sad.

Are you trying to move the market up by opening a buy trade.
If you follow BiGE 5 method and 21 &244 method there is no buy here.

so You are acting like smart money you buying when market is sharply moving lower. Good

I can understand why you hit 80% DD with in 1 month trading.

Tekkies I know many things, I can teach you week after week. No problem with that.

But the problem is your not in the mantle state to learn and apply trading skills.

You have to accept, Those have experience trader they have develop certain mind set that you don't have.
That is why I have said here before, with in 9 month trading people can't become expert trader.

Look at US30 chart there are many sell setup at list 4 sell setup today if you look at M5 chart, But you didn't open any sell trade, what you did is open buy trade.
You have the system but you are failing to execute the system.
Listen to BigE use 2 additional ema with your 5 method. I hope you will be in the right side. Again I can not say you become good trader by adding 2 ema, because your mind set is not in right conditions to trade.

Hi Tekkies,

just ignore the troll.

BigE said specifically “turn off the computer” in #11.

The events in the past do not change regardless of what happens since then. Anyway, remember to refresh the chart before analysis of no trades are open.

trade well.

As expected
I expect some TROLLS will fixate on their misunderstanding. But they won’t be able to provide evidence.

Good. Now you get back to the right track.

Please do not go into another round of mental breakdown and breaching of CoC because of you losing another account.

Finally you are learning BigE’s Trading Made Simple. As a newbie to this method, my advice is to read all of BigE’s posts.

Just like Emmanuel, you focus on additional indicators, another symptom of “holy grail” seeking. TMS 5-method is TMS 5-method, nothing more

#125025
if you are looking at Moving Averages on charts, that means you do not get what BigE's message in #2617.

Do not let other craps distract your focus on BigE's Trading Made Simple


No need to naysay to TMS. You can simply leave

Based on what you post it will be a box filled with empty air.

You want to flap lips about "mindset"?
- So far you have opened how many threads hoping that one will gain a fellowship of adoring trades which indicate a low self-esteem mindset
- Here in this thread you have received countless CoC violations based on how you see yourself above us mere mortals filled degrading words which indicate narcissistic mindset
- Copy/past junk your mindset deem important.
- Demand that members must provide proof where you fail to do so yourself which indicate a Ponzi mindset.

Before you voice your option about Tekkies mindset, go fill up the vacuum between your own ears with some common senses.
