{quote} Hi Emmanuel, when I arrive at FF in 2012 this was the first system I learned. It was easy to filter out what was original BIG-E system and what was not. But I understood after a couple of months that i had to learn price action around SR-levels so I change focus away from TMS. But after these years I can see that you can be profitable with this system but you have to understand PA/SR. Reagars Paal

Hi kirinda,

I see when you arrived in 2012, a small group of us were already working on a project to study all of Big E's posts and especially Post#647 which turn out to be the toughest and took us the most time arguing that one post. In the end, we had to narrow down to some basics of Price Action and how many traders here in FF look ed at support and resistance. This project led us to the development of TMS-II which we completed in 2013. But the consensus among the group members was that we do not share TMS-II in FF.
If you follow how the original Synergy trading model which I first learned in another forum during the period 2006/2007, that commercial system had developed since that time to newer and improved systems several times in the past 8 years. How can TMS remain the same as it was in 2011. It must improve to be a better method and into a full trading system that individual traders will make it into their own trading systems. TMS is never a off-the shelf type of system. Off the shelf type systems will not work for most traders. Too many of such systems are sold online. But TMS must be used as the core trading method and every trader can use the same core trading method and develop their own systems. This is what I see how TMS can continue to provide different types of traders here.
If I see interest in this thread, I can share more into what system development is and how it can help people become better traders.

You mistook that name Divergence (Post#5) word with divergence on my trading chart.
In post#5 , Big E was replying to member name Divergence.
You were rash, too hasty and eager to reply the and still the same today, no change.

Above Support
H1 wicks show buyers are coming in
Stoch confirm direction
Above level 32
Take note that H1 green is still in a down angle, (don't know if work that way of even possible) preventing M15 orders to move faster into profit. Almost like a train that take a few minutes to come to stop and change direction. It is always the safest to wait that both green are going in the same direction.

Going to pick up problems with those orders. Did not wait for both timeframes to agree regarding direction. Should have waited a hour longer on M15. H1 green check mark is a good sign and does not mean much. a Lot can go wrong in 60 minutes M15 green is already flat.

Hi Folks,

Again Tekkies relentless is attacking everything I shared in this thread. He is now is distracting and diverting from the topic of that post... which was about the word Divergence and divergence by adding other things I posted before.

Now he side track from that Divergence topics by adding another topic on V-Lines. Those are two different posts and separate topics.

The Divergence topic was his mistake confusing the name Divergence (Post#5) and technical divergence. That mistake was made by him not reading carefully and he was rash and too hasty and far too eager to reply my every post in trying to show he is a better trader by following only Big E posts.
When I posted that trade where I has use price action and TDI divergence as an example what traders can consider and look for to support a reversal setup.

The fact are all here, that old posts I made using divergence is link below:

https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...12#post9567812

https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...01#post9571601

You all can go to these old posts and learn how divergence between price action and TDI can be an added advantage when you want to use a lagging indicator.

If you want to learn how to use technical divergence, you can read and study this book by John Hayden.

RSI: The Complete Guide by John Hayden
The Truth about Divergence ... read Chapter 4 Page 65
Trend Determination using the RSI (TDI) Post#26,774

Note: the TDI is also known by another name ... Fozzy-RSI.

I know that incident seriously injured Tekkies big ego. I said sorry to him. He should act like a man and get over that one incident and learn from that, no to act rashly but take time to read and learn and understand my post. Tekkies must move on and move forward.
I see his has a lot of passion and potential which he can further develop to be a better trader but he needs to manage his emotions and not let his ego get in the way to become a better trader.

I will post and explain about that V Lines object on charts and how we can trade with objects on chart. More post will follow, so please be patient. I have the patience like Big E has like that of Job and Moses and I will explain everything to clear up the confusion and any contradiction some people have. Please give me time to do so.

My comments:

Some lessons for newbie traders and also other traders reading his thread.

1) what is a TDI check-mark? Do Not confuse this with the TDI hook back.
Note: The latest TDI_Pro has the TDI hook alert, but Big E did not use the Pro_TDI which was release after he died in 2012.

2) price action bar pattern that would produce a TDI check-mark

3) when we trade M15, we must reconcile the M15 with H1 to get the best entry level. If we use multi-entries, we must space out the orders order distance) to gain the advantage of and to leverage on getting a better average entry price of all positions in one basket. There is also other advantage to space out the orders which I show as example at another opportune time. This is what I do with MEME .

A BUOB swing low and reversal with divergence.

Note:
Big E did not trade price oscillator divergence. As independent trader, you can decide on your own whether you want to use divergence or not. Its your own hard-earned money you trade with. Objective is to look for high probability trades that will make money.

Hi,

You are most welcome.

I just woke up early to close some trade basket before New York closes. Another positive week and that makes me happy. I have some time so I thought I share a few lessons from this week trading.

HAPPINESS is an edge.
Investors and Traders must be happy to have an edge.
Losses in some investments and trades must not make us unhappy. Instead we must learn to be grateful for the lessons we learn from our losses.

You folks have a great weekend too.

Its chilly here but I need to go out and get some fresh ocean air and enjoy the nature.

Some lessons for newbie traders and also other traders reading his thread
Nice introduction Emmanuel. Let take a few seconds to try and understand what you have posted.

1. I don't use 5EMA. Why:
#718 At one time I used the 5ema in a different way. Back then if a candle closed across the 5ema it was the set up candle. I would enter the trade at the beginning of the next candle if it was the same color.... and that still works... this is more conservative... I am more aggressive now and noticed I was giving up some pips doing it that way so I changed to using the TDI candle #1 or 2 for entries.

2. Really? Never knew that H1 has 4xM15.
On the hour M15 / H1 both form a new bar. Entry on the beginning of a new M15 bar will be the same entry at the beginning of a new H1 bar.
0 min = 0, 15 min = 1, 30 min = 1, 45 min = 1 Qty = 3
Entry's at xx min has xx % to go wrong before the hour reset back to zero: 15 min = 85%, 30 min = 50%, 45 min= 25%.
Due the nature of how pirce move even a entry at 0 min can go wrong from the moment it is entered. Those percent totale's has no value and only indicate a probability.

3. Multiply entries at same price or MEME.
"If we use multi-entries, we must space out the orders order distance) to gain the advantage of and to leverage on getting a better average entry price of all positions in one basket."
Who made those rules?
Only time when you will get a better price entry is when sell orders are placed higher then the first sell order or buy orders lower then the first buy order. Which mean that you are adding order's to a losing basket. Only when price move back in the direction of the first order those orders will have a better price value. When price does not move back the whole basket must be closed at a lose.
Anyway, only price will tell what is wrong or right.

4. TDI Green hook back
#6..................... Exit your trade when the green TDI line goes flat, starts to hook over or makes a check mark reversal
BigE used those words so should you.
Stop spreading confusionment.

As to the other stuff, well that is how you understand a chart.

Edit: Forgot to add.
Don't use the word "if"
It only indicate that you are not sure "if" the outcome will be like you say it should be. Which means you are talking bullshit.

Hi chaps.

Would appreciate your views on my first Big Picture for G/U using standard TMS 5 chart + 20 and 55 ema's. Would also appreciate views on using these ema's. I'm here to learn, not watch people fight


GBP/USD
Week – 18 consecutive bear candles. TDI at 20 level (first time since Brexit). Expect a pause/relief followed by continued sells.
1 Day - crossing upwards at (low) 20 level suggesting buy. Ema’s in a downtrend. TDI Divergence through May to today supporting a buy focus.
4 hr – Green TDI at 50 with a ‘bounce’ (?). Ema 20 being crossed to the up. Ema 55 approaching.
1 hr – Green and red at 80+ range suggesting sell
Conclusion – expect immediate sells, medium-term buys with longer-term sells to 1.21 zone

Option #2:
You don't have to read 4483 pages (89,654 posts)
Just two pdf files compiled by older members here will suffice.
Go to this post link, download and read those two pdfs files.

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

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.

The original setup or s/u candle still work so newbie traders should use this CONSERVATIVE entry method. Umntil you have more experience, you can then use your own discretion to trade either the CONSERVATIVE or the AGGRESSIVE entry. Study all of Big E posts where he explain this in his training charts.

I prefer to trade the CONSERVATIVE entry when I trade Single Entry / Single Exit.

But when I trade the higher TF charts - H4 and D1, I can trade with the AGGRESSIVE entry but only when I use MEME.

@Tekkies,

Stop talking your own bullshit.


There are 4 x M15 candles in one H1 candle.
There are 4 x H1 candles in one H4 candle.
There are 6 x H4 candles in one D1 candle.
There are 5 x D1 candles in one W1 candle. (with one exception)
There are 29 x H4 candles in one W1 candle. (with one exception)

See example below where traders who look at H4 and also see the D1 candles on their H4 chart.
The setup below is a D1 3_Bar Swing High reversal. After the D1 reversal, we can trade H4 or even better trade H1 with TMS 5-Method.

Knowing the higher timeframe like this D1 setup below, traders can then decide to trade H4 or H1 using the AGGRESSIVE entry with more confidence.
