Hi guys,

I'm a newbie, but after reading 2 times BigEFULL.pdf, going to read 1 more time, a lot of basic question already got answered. Yes, PA, SR is really important among to TDI. BigE said that too many time. There are no 100% won entries but follow BigE rules, its almost 70-80% win rate.
I need more practice and reading that rules.
Thanks so much BigE and all you here for your great advises.

It is Simple method but not really simple for newbie...

Indicator's and Price Action is the same thing. Have posted about that.
What many reader's miss is that BigE has combined both and use both before entering a trade.
TDI:
- crossover indicate : possible entry.
- Green angle (12/2 - 4/6) : is it possible to enter
- Level 32 / 76 : how far can the entry go
Stoch : confirm direction
That is it. Two indicators four points. How many second's? = 4 / 5?

Now every single member keeps on harping about Price Action
Is Post#647 not Price Action?
How close am I to the previous high or lo
Am I in an uptrend or downtrend.. short & long term...
Am I in or close to a consolidation area
Are the previous candles small...
Look at the candles on the last reversal... big, little, what
How does the momentum look right now (12-2, 4-6)
Does Stoch's confirm the TDI signals
S/R level
Only those few point's take far more time to apply then mere 5 seconds'.

The noction that to much time is spend on TDI is utter cow dung.

Here is a post in the old thread.

This post explains what Big E took from Craig Harris Natural Flow Forex NFF system which uses only the Stochastics with Japanese candlesticks. Craig Harris NFF does not use the Average Price Bar APB/HA candles. Note when Big E mentioned reversal candles, he refer to the Japanese candlestick. The angle 12-2 and 4-6 were used referring to the Stochastics slope.

The Synergy trading model by dean Malone uses the Average Price Bar APB which is different form the standard Heiken Ashi candles. Synergy trading model uses the APB, the Price Action Channel and the TDI.

Go to this post#446 in the old thread and learn about the APB/HA.
APB/HA tutorial videos.
https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...80#post3345280

Both the Stochastics and the Traders_Dynamic_Index(RSI) indicators based are oscillators and they show the same thing about the price momentum.

Why do I use the APB/HA candles?
Note I trade with the real price i.e. the price Bar Chart but I have the APB/HA in the background.
When I look at the price action, I look at the price bar and not the APB/HA.
The other reason why I use the APB/HA is also because I trade with average price using multiple entries ME. The APB/HA give a good indication where I can build my positions in a basket of 5 trades.
There are other features of the APB/HA which are explained in those tutorial videos.
Use both the real price bar and the APB/HA will give you added advantage in the long run as you progress to more advance trading.


Have Fun while you learn and acquire more knowledge. Be patient and take your time to learn and absorb as much as you can. Most important is to have an open mind when you learn.

Sorry for you that you tried trading TMS with the TDI for many years and that TMS did not work for you and you still lose money today. Main reason why TMS did not work for you is you lack the screen time. Big E had 6,000 hours screen time. He sees a lot more that you. The other reason why it did not work for you is you used the wrong version of the TDI posted in this thread. If you want to trade like the OP Big E mentioned in his Post#1, you must use the TDI Red Green version in Post#25. But if you want to learn to trade like in all his training charts, you need to use a different version of the TDI.
And finally, if you want the latest version used by Synergy Pro traders, there is a newer version but that is only available commercially.
As for me after the last 5 years trading with the TDI_RT version, I have decided to drop that completely in my top down analysis and my Big Picture Plan.
However, like Big E used to do, he stopped using his 5EMA but left that on his charts. I do the same with the TDI, I simply left that on my charts when I post in this thread. I pick reversal trade very carefully and can initiate my first trade in new basket using APB/HA candle 2 confidently without the TDI. Doing this I am working to improve the number of winning 20-trading days cycle. I used to have 3 to 4 losing cycles , which is about 60/40 win rate. This year, I manage so far, only one losing cycle since Jan 2018. My confidence trading without the TDI is growing.

Should you consider to trade TMS again, I suggest you start all over again but this time study every one of Big E post where he attached training and trading charts. One tip I can give you is to analyse every of his charts with an open mind. You will learn much quicker and learn a lot more the way he sees the market conditions which he did not talk about often. And remember one more thing i.e. Big E had a lot more experience trading with the Stochastics and learning from Craig Harris Natural Flow Forex system then with Dean Malone's Synergy.

Good luck.

here are two of Big E's posts which you must study.

pay attention to that chart he posted.

This is a good example how experienced TMS traders know when to "let profits run". With more experience you can be aggressive in your exit strategy. This can make you 'shit load of money' that is how you make one $million when you have two $million, with less stress.

Quoting eelfranz
WHEN TO EXIT ----------------- OK there appears to be some confusion here... According to the rules you exit when the TDI GREEN LINE goes flat, check mark reversal or hooks over.... this is for the conserative trader and works great. However.... note the blue box on the TDI below. See how the green line archs like a worm crawling up the red line without crossing red. You could have stayed in the whole trade without exiting until green crossed red finally. {image}
the next post is this below.

@mistakesr,

You are still making the same mistakes even when you are simply reading my post. I do not pick tops and bottoms. I have already mention many times about the risk in picking tops and bottoms with this pic below.

To pick the reversals is not picking tops and bottoms, You need to learn from Big E's posts how he pick only the best setups. He has the patience like Job and Moses, he once said.

Now another of Big E post you must read and study and learn from.

Entered this E/U trade last night on the weekly time frame... put the SL at the top of the previous candle... about 150 pips away... won't see the next candle until next week... already in profit... see the nice 5 o'clock green TDI line with Stoch's confirmation... {image}

That is his trade was taken on the Weekly chart. Was he picking top?

Do you see that 'reversal' candle?

What about resistance? He must sell at resistance there, right?

Even with price & TDI Divergence, picking bottom would have failed in a 4H swing trade.

Today is August 16 my mistake made today crossing time zones.

Beware when trading EUR pairs today. No key news on FF Calendar but the trade war and Turkish Lira crisis still burning issue.

USDJPY already made this week's swing low and swing high, so far.

Study this H4 chart below,

do you see the Swing Low and the 'reversal bar/candle'?

then the week's Swing High and the 'reversal bar/candle'.

Post#89,035 is my latest, or below re-post.

Knowing Price Action trading is the key. The OP himself said this below.

#1 importance is the Price Action PA

#2 importance is the TDI, which is to show the price momentum for entry.

Therefore for those with some years of experience trading, there is Option #3:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New traders coming to this thread have three Options:

Option #1: Go to this post link, read and follow that post.The TMS history is all here.

https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...2#post10965032

Option #2:
You don't have to read 4452 pages (89,033 posts)
Just two pdf files compiled by older members here will suffice.
Go to this post link, download and read those two pdfs files.

https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...31#post9656031

Option #3:
For those with some years of trading experience trading with indicators, this option may be better.

Click and read One, Two and Three

TMS being the 5-Method is a technical trading methodology therefore you need to add your own Money Management and make it your own system. Your trading psychology is another subject matter not talked about much.

Big E was a discretionary rule based trader.
