{quote} pluse i choose this trade because of price action resons too .
when you have learned and mastered just a few basic price action setups, then with more trades experience you will have the confidence to trade without the lagging TDI.

just like in Post#2 training chart

he does not understand what is quality trades.

he has more problems than that. his winners are tiny small and his losers are more than 50 times his loser

he does self sabotage to himself as the trader.

Any system that doesn't factor events and their impact on price is irrelevant to me.

Because no news is mentioned in post's does not mean calendar events are ignored.

They have no impact on trading when you follow BigE's advice:

I depend on the TDI for signals... then as I posted I look for the BASIC things a fx trader should look for before entering a trade.

News... hummm... It can have a big effect on the 5/15/30 minute charts and 1 hour too at certain times. While trading the 4hr charts I don't pay much attention to it UNLESS IT'S a MAJOR news release... If it's major (red on FF Calendar) I'll wait until after the news release and the market calms down...

I see you are falling into the pitfall of holy grail seeking, thinking a complicated method is better than a simple method.

You confused “easy” with “simple”.

One example from my profession. COVID PCR test is so simple that you can do it with 3 bowls of hot to cold waters at home (literally how it was done years ago), but it is difficult to make it right that it requires a dedicated machine and a certified technician to carry out the experiment.

Same for TMS. The rules are simple but traders like to make it complicated instead of focusing on executions.

Last year I liked trading during news time for a quick price bounce off price levels. Very quick profit. The downside is larger spread and unpredictable slippage. Got a +10 pip slippage giving me extra profit before.

Now as I am charting and trading at lower frequency and using alerts, I prefer to avoid news time. Although it is not a rule of the trading method or the prop firm account type, I just don’t. US major news time are usually 8-9pm (NFP, etc) or 1-2am (FOMC) my time.

good to trade at no news days for overnight trades too for those in Asia. My 2 trades last month and one was overnight position and closed manually when price did not reach TP the next morning

That is correct. Only pick the TDI signals aligning with the other elements of BigE’s TMS method.

post #647
Previous highs and lows
Trend
rejections at previous price levels.

Develop an alert system can reduce your charting time by only trading the TDI crosses meeting the criteria.

Been taking time off from trading and work. Last year was great with trading and work bonus. Haven’t traded since Dec19 and be back next week. Exchanged some JPY cash when price retested previous low. TMS trading for actual cash use Now spending JPY in Japan means a >5% discount on anything (plus 10% tax back for foreigners, etc) {image}{image}
Good powder in Japan. Probably good timing to shop before heading back.

trade well

we do have a lot of rookie traders here who talk like experts
and the recent one @tommydoginti with less than 2 years trading experience is posting fake photoshop edited charts.
we have called out other fake traders here in the past many years.

@korosh1350

you have many more years trading experience than the fake trader @tommydoginti.

you know better what will work for you.

with your experience with MT4 charts you will be able to spot fake trades using photoshop editing tool.

WOW! @Tekkies

You have finally read Big E' Post#779. Most of your big losers were hit by major news.

Will you make the transition to trade the 4H charts starting next week?

You have high probability to recover from that 387 trades losses and MARGIN CALL would be good.

the common problem here is most traders trade with small account deposits and do not use Position Sizing strategy.

when trading the higher timeframes - 4H, Daily and Weekly,

the initial stop loss risk is larger but when you use percent of your trading margin and do your trades positions size, the initial risk 'R' is the same even when you SL is 300pips.

Look at Big E' trading. He traded with USD10,000 account and he risked 15% to 30% of his account in one single entry trade. That is the reason why he would exit when the market pull-back after his entry and not wait for the 6am candle exit or the TDI exit.
#557
I don't recommend anyone to trade like him with that huge risk per trade.
Therefore I developed TMS MEME in 2015 to trade with average entry price AEP for 4H swing trading.

You can start with $10,000 account deposit and grow that slowly to $50,000 over time.
When you trade with $50,000 account, TMS MEME will be able to generate a good cash flow to supplement your income.

see this post#65,229 Jan 2015.

I have a 3-year trading cycle running since Oct 2020 and will run till end Sep 2023 (36 months). This account has already hit my target at end Dec 2022.
TMS EVO_2023 is my game plan now.

I think you mean you do not place hard SL in your trade terminal, right?

How do you calculate your trade position size without an initial SL in mind?
