Hi,
I've read about the first 20 pages of this thread. It looked promising. I couldn't wait - so I decided to skip ahead to about present day.

I'm truly sorry to hear that Big E is no longer with us. Are the members of this thread still trading TRADING MADE SIMPLE. I see charts that don't resemble the first pages/rules as set out by Big E. I see what appears to be new/ different rules. I also hear bickering.

Is anyone trading this system as Big E intended.
Is it a waste of time to read posts from page 20 to now 23 April 2018.

{quote} Hi Tekkies, Personally I find Price, Structure and Order Flow enough without the additional Indicators. The very first Post #2,974 I made on FF was in Big E "Craig Harris Stochastics Method" my method of Trading hasn't changed much from that time I've just dropped the Indicators. We are all seeing the same thing it doesn't really matter what we use to interpret what we are seeing as long as we Trade successfully. {image}
Hi Steve

This is space where I have ended up trading. The order flow of price action becomes so logical, it makes you wonder why it takes you so long to find out this truth. I find the H4 and M5 shows great flow, the Tick 400 & 133 even better. The spreads make the tick charts hard to trade however but the DAX is great.

EURAUD Week 17 Apr23 update:

Nice reaction at Big Round Number BRN 1.6000.
Price now pause at 1.6050 but the overall direction bias is quite clear looking at all timeframes.
Some traders will be concern when they see the H1 and H4 TDI in the Overbought OB regions. Traders will sell from the OB region but the W1and D1 are both strong momentum. So I would buy after the lower timeframe corrections. ... 'buy the dips'.

Below using pipware mini-charts template, I see all timeframes in one 34-inch single screen an in FHD 1920x1020 format.
Big E in his days back in 2010 did not have this luxury of today' technology.

Hi,

Did you read all the posts here in Forex Factory by the same OP eelfranz?

In this thread, on page 436 Post#8703 he started to test trading on D1 chart timeframe and the exit rules for D1 chart trading is had been changed. He did not use the TDI green condition - flat,hook,etc. for exit.

I trade the D1 chart and I have developed my own system with my own rules.

Your question: "Is it a waste of time to read posts from page 20 to now 23 April 2018"
Well, whether it is waste of time or not will depends on your own learning and experience. You won;t know until you have read them all and taken down notes, and learn what works for you and what don't work for you. Every trader is different and there is no one solution fits all when it comes to investing and trading.

Edit:

These two posts may be of help for you to make your own decision.

{quote} Hi Emmanual, wondering how do you set the SL? use 4H ATR(20)? thanks.

Hi,

For reversal setup trades, I use the last swing high for sell trades. But if the set-up is a continuation in the established trend, then I look at the price action or simply use the 2bars look back to for initial stop loss.
If you use the PAC on D1 chart, you can also set your initial stop loss at the upper channel of the PAC High and trail the market using the PAC High-Low.


See my GBPUSD D1 chart trades update below.
Yesterday I took out 2 trades (+28pips) and did a re-entry and now have 4 open trades floating +120pips.
Note- yesterday's retracement was shallow and only manage one build position.

You got two choices. To be or not to be.
to be - successful study only BigE's post's
not to be - successful start using the advice of member's that don't apply the principle's of Post#1

Hi,

Download the Trade Interceptor App (now owned by Think Markets). It was designed for use on phones and tablets. It is very good, works well and has the TDI indicator installed in its default indicator list.

Easy to use but if you have any questions please ask.

Cheers

EURUSD Week 17 Apr 24 .. strong downtrend with USD strength.

I always traded Dax in morning Dow in afternoon. The NQ is the most fun I had in ages, like the Dax on steroids.

It's not so much bickering as banter, its sad that the thread has become a husk and a playground. Because of the traffic the the thread gets from new traders, someone made it their own personal blog.

You said it all in this part of what you wrote ' I see charts that don't resemble the first pages/rules as set out by Big E'. If you thought it, others will too.

So many new traders... Do not think you can trade with us without reading the thread and taking notes. READ & STUDY. .... Big E
There are a few secrets to succeed in Trading Made Simple and one of them is really this very last post by the OP In October 2011 before he went offline. He suffered for few years problems with his heart.


READ and STUDY, making own notes of your those things you study is very important.

Be open minded - LEARN, UNLEARN and RE-LEARN.
