{quote} Gosh...my second post in as many days!! One thing I see a lot of people doing is trying to a) trade too many pairs, and b) shoot for the big pips. In my opinion, these are both mistakes and are connected to each other. No matter what anyone says, in the early days of a traders FX life especially, emotions play a large part. It's natural and it's something that we each have to deal with in our own way. To end the day, or series of days with losses can lead to many emotions.....anger, fear, disappointment, frustration and many more. This is...
Welcome back realjumper! I remember when I was trying to trade 28 pairs. That was madness, and I got into correlation trouble almost instantly. Of course I did not know what correlation was back then!

Good to see you posting!

USDJPY H4

A textbook TMS setup that really did not require any other additional indicator.
This is still on, but I got kicked out when my TP got hit at the Big RN 109.000.
42 pips bagged.

{quote} Means...sell at the top Buy at bottom right? Let say I trade only pair EUR /USD. Due market volaity...ill only get 100 pip from daily chart setting... But then..my target is 1k pip in a month... Or should I try 3 other pair at same time? Let say: 100pip on eu+100pip on gj+100pip on ucad =300pip a week. Your advise?...suggestion?..thanks for answering all my question.
My 5 cents .... The pips are easy to count and follow your results. But pips have different values with different currency pairs. What you really should follow (and try to manage) is the risk you take with each trade (% from your account) and, if lucky, the reward you make. Trading with the same lot size and making 10 pips with two different currency pairs will give you two different amounts of $$$.

Here is a good EURCHF cross on H4. Be mindful that unless you live in my timezone, these charts do not mean much. It is just a good example of a good cross that is in line with the higher TF.

The JPY crosses are getting close to exhaustion based on the stochs and the lower TFs.

Good Morning. opinions please. If the green cross to sail up and close above the CAP, it would be a valid purchase. Thank you very much

Here is my opinion. And it is solely mine

1. Overall trend is down. More Red APBs than Blue.
2. Green is at the moment flat going along the 50.
3. The bar sizes are small and not convincing.
4. LTF H1 has turned blue but sideways.
5. HTF D1 is already turned down.

I will not buy into it for now and be cautious even after the green crosses.

Hanging onto the Dragon's tail
GBPJPY H1 +200
First entry made on M30 after price closed the weekend gap and kept moving with momentum (check your candlestick charts for the gap APB and TDI give wrong information sometimes). Trade managed on H1 then moved up to H4 overnight. Trade closed due to an incorrect trail by candle setting in CM
Second entry made at the continuation/bounce after LO. Closed manually as price getting exhausted and the fact that there are a lot of bankers speaking later today. Not pretty but effective.

Your TDI is flat. You move on right there.

If you must know more, big wicks, small bodies, price is inside that channel thingy you have on there.

Verdict, price action is bad.

Edit: I see you looking for a buy. If the TDI does cross up, it would be a valid signal.

That is probably the best and simplest way I have seen trend direction described in a long time

......simple but bad way 2 describe trend unfortunately ..... the number of either candles does not always mater over range
As I am studying the TDI I am noticing that the Market base line is such important element of the TDI. It shows a shift in direction and keeps you in the trade. I am looking at it like this: Above Market Base (yellow line) I will be looking for signals in that direction. Below Market Base line, looking for shorts in that direction.

Has anyone else noticed this? Would like to hear your thoughts on the Market Base line.

The MBL is a Synergy concept. It is not a TMS concept. That said, I think BigE said that if you need it, use it.
