First post in this thread ...
IMO anyone who posts anything other than what the OP was about perhaps should rethink their comments ... and go start you own thread about your own method/strategy ... but I guess you won't because you don't have anything concrete to offer ...
At least Tekkies and emmanuel7788 and several others are trying to help others (newbies) ... they may have differing opinions at times but that is discretionary trading and that is what eelfranz, the OP was all about ... basic rules and discretionary trading.
@ Chenzo25 ... really?
Are you so insecure that you are so excited with a pic of a Mercedes, a few bottles of opened Scotch, and 90 pips ... wow! ... and best of all you signed a 20 year lease for your multi million dollar businesses ... seriously if you are so successful and know that you have the right location for your business why waste money on a lease ... buy the property and make more millions ... or is it like the car ... you can only afford the lease ...
I say this based on my experience being invested in several shopping centres with banks as tenants the only person who will win that (your) deal is the real estate agent and the lawyer once you default on your lease ... even Banks (the most secure of businesses, here anyway) don't sign a 20 year lease, they may agree to a 5 + 5 + 5 (that is smart) and they, in Australia anyway, operate with Government guarantees which I doubt your business have ... but hey according to YOU ... you are smarter than anyone else, in your mind anyway.
All the smarties here may want to think about working cooperatively and create an EA based on the OP's and their experiences even if it is not the holy grail it might produce consistent profits on auto for everyone.
If anyone is unhappy with my off thread post I do not apologise ... needed to be said ... and please don't ask me to prove anything ... I will never claim to have mastered FX but I and my family have mastered living comfortably having being retired since 2008.
All the best to the followers of eelfranz ...

You talk a lot of sense. But you are biased, and how can you say that no-one who posts here has nothing concrete to offer? The thread is dominated by Tekkies and Emmanuel 7788. Even Tekkies admits it took him ages to suss TMS out, so it ain't trading made simple - there is the proof. If it was that simple, why would people keep asking the same questions over and over? Probably laziness and stupidity. Or they keep sitting around with big stops, waiting for them to get hit and think 'this is simple... yet I aint makin' any money'. Hang on, I'll ask someone else they'll know.

So Divergence (is alive) and is cleaning up with a proven method and it is simple, so whatever he posts is bang on topic in my view. Huh, but even though that is the case - he still gets run out of town.

Stop for a minute and think about that. Here is some guy who is trading an hour-ish a day, with a simple strategy. And every f*cker is here waiting for a crossover. Wouldn't it be prudent to question their mentality? What intelligent human being wouldn't?

Free money. Ah no thanks! I'd rather risk more for less, if that's ok with you. Oh and spend most of my day all over the currencies (and timeframes).

Elliot is an art - but CG's charts are far more informational than those of Emmanuel 7788. A fresh perspective should always be welcome. And chenzo, well he's just having fun. It takes all sorts.

Look at this angle, that angle - this timeframe. Read this book and so on. Has the world financial landscape changed since eelfranz invented this system? I think so.

The thread should be closed, but since it isn't nor moderated - let the show go on.

Reading the past few posts in this thread has left me feeling tired. It was funny at first but gets boring real quick. There is so little energy here, you are just attacking each other non stop. To what end?
Trader A telling trader B that he doesnt know how to trade. Insults. Name calling. virtual punch ups lasting for days and spanning countless pages.
So much ego and posturing that I question how any of you manage to handle the volatility of trading. Not saying you are not successful but the path is a lot harder when you lack self discipline.

Hi ejiexe,

Welcome back to TMS. I know many of us took a detour after LE1 left his thread.

About your two trades AUDUSD and USDCAD,

Today is US bank holidays so the liquidity maybe in question.

I see your AUDUSD entry price is around 0.7212 which is the open of the bar/candle is good.

Both H4 trades are against the D1 price action so we may have some risk when we take this as a reversal trade.

AUDUSD has the H4 10EMA just above your entry. I know that you know the Power of 10EMA from LE1 thread. H4 is against the D1 and W1.

USDCAD price action show it is in range consolidation and there is not very strong momentum in your entry bar/candle. The TDI is not reliable when the price is in consolidation especially after a bullish run that ended. Look at the TDI Green line when it goes out of the VB and re-enters, it is strong indication that the price has lost its momentum and it will be sideways range trading until the next big move.
BTW, we have key data release this week both affecting CAD and USD, Be careful when near news hour.

Below are my charts showing the different timeframes - with TMS HA candles , TDI and the Japanese candlestick at the bottom.

Jester - no need to stare at chart's the whole day, use an alarm. Sometime it does not give a alarm for a few hours. Cable and Div can invite members anytime to go over to their thread and learn 123pattern. Those that want to go will go. Why come here week after week and badmouth this method.

{quote} You talk a lot of sense.
Your comment confirms exactly what I said .... this whole thread is about discretion ... you read what I wrote extracted a part and made a decision/interpretation based on that part - not the whole (comment out of context) whether that be due to language barrier, English interpretation or intellect ... does not matter ... my point is that basic rules were formulated ... they worked and only worked in conjunction with the discretion ... the challenge is to take those rules and add to them in such a way that it can be made robotic ... whether that means robotic for 28 pairs ... 11 pairs or individually.
Formulate rules for each pair and add it to the basics and maybe just maybe there is a consistent winning strategy.
My strategy using TMS in part made 62% last month ... that means absolutely nothing ... why ... because like eelfranz it was discretionary, only used TMS in part and even though it was mine and the decisions were mine there is no guarantee it will make 1% this month, in fact it may lose who knows.
That is why it is my belief that people can turn eelfranz's basic strategy into something that is consistently profitable and on auto.
Think about it ... would you rather a discretionary strategy that one month made 62% and next month made -20% or one that was consistent at 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 20% compounding each and every month whether it be one pair or 11 or 28 pairs?

Yep I do
- It hide's price action.
- Show pin bar's as full candles
- Plot bar's where the is none (doji is plotted as bar's)
- Keep you longer in the trend (more profit) and the next time that "keep longer" (take profit)

Reading the past few posts in this thread has left me feeling tired.
You need to stop reading here, it itīs a HUGE waste of time. Maybe read through the original author postīs, nothing more and see if the strategy will work for you. If not, the worst thing you could do is to ask a serious questions here. Then you stepped into the trap. Only showmans measure themselves by their great egos here.

I follow this topic now more actively for the last 2 month and could not find 1 helpful reponse with the potential to improve anyones trading.

Its all just bullshit. People fighting each other, trying to convince the novice with what is true or not. Then there are some other idiots flooding this place here to take advantage of the traffic for advertising their own shit, weather its another trading approach or just posting a Mercedes picture... What a loony bin.

I now understand why this is called the commedy thread. Honestly, ROFL.

My personal advice for new people here want to learn or improve trading, stop reading and asking right here! Even better, leave this forum completely because 99% of the content is pure bullshit and the 1% might help you will figure out your self by just "learning by doing".

{quote} If you are trading the 1hr charts and experience a corrective wave, you can't simply scale the chart out to try to eliminate it!
But you can. That is why people use higher TF charts to figure out what is really going on. A three wave pull back on H1 could just be a wick on D1.

We could argue Elliot for evermore, and in my attempt to be non combative, I said everyone has their own truth when it comes to trading. To your question, the TDI will work on any wave as long as the signal is correct. Again, the PA that will produce the correct signal will be an impulse or trend bar that closes near it's extreme. The correct angle on the TDI is price breaking out of a range with conviction. A lot of new traders just take the cross without regard as to how strong the cross is. Some charts just got posted that shows that very mistake. The trader must WAIT for the CORRECT signal, not just ANY signal. Big E spent a lot of blue ink on this.

Despite my questionable intellect and command of the English language, I have respect for those who can stick their neck on the line and show measurable results on a daily basis. Those results are real and quantifiable.

Life is for the living, not the deceased. Time and progress stand still for no man.
