'look at the people here who have posted profitable charts and I doubt that you will find two the same ...' That's the point, you can count the profitable charts on one hand out of 4.5k pages.
TMS is not a system or strategy that can be copied from Person A to Person B with having same results. It is entirely up to the trader himself to work with the tools given like the TDI indicator and some explanation left by BigE to make it a profitable strategy or not.

Statements like "TDI is King" or "PA is King" as often heard are complete useless and only confuse new traders here. Both statements might be right in some way but for the majority looking for a strategy they can follow with the precision of a clockwork it makes absolute no sense.

If a trade setup failed people like Tekkies or Emmanuel will find 100+ excuses WHY it failed. Either because "TDI Angle" was wrong or Price Action looked wrong or you missed spotting a Support or Resistance level... For this reason also the charts posted by such traders here are not helpful at all. Most of these charts will only show ongoing trades to you where half of the chart is cut out, multiple entries for different kind of rules or no SL/TP marked at all. Basically no clear strategy is visible!

Therefor a big waste of time for new traders want to learn a strategy to believe looking at such things will make any impact for their own trading.

Donīt get me wrong, i donīt want to blame it on individuals here. Every trader is responsible for his/her trading. Even if traders like Tekkies and Emmanuel really want to help, this strategy is likely designed to fail for teaching to others. Personally I do not understand why they even consider keep posting such charts here. Honestly, it doesnīt help anyone.

Because it leaves so much room for contradictions. For every possible "high probability trade setup" introduced here i can show you at least one that 100% looked the same and NOT WORKED. With all the rules respected TMS gives for finding a valid entry setup. So the bets are 50/50 for such perfect trade setup to give you a winning trade. It can be a losing one same as good.

Otherwise if the strategy gives you at least a 50/50 edge (just for the entries) i really wonder why there is no profitable EA here. Because a 50% with proper money management and proper risk reward ratio should at least make trading this strategy profitable, even in the long run. And i donīt speak about making millions, i mean at least not making loss.

But guess what? It canīt do that. Nobody here is able to proof that, either by providing a track record for any manually traded account or fully automated. Therefor i think itīs also legit to name such persons as "fake traders". It does not have to mean bad. But if you are such successfully trading a strategy and even teach people here with what to do or not you should be able to proof that at any time for any reason.

One thing Richard Dennis showed with technicolor is that people stink at following precise instructions. The Turtles received exact instructions from a real person in real time, and half of em still mucked it up. That is why there are so few scientists in the world. People just cannot follow instructions. TMS ain't hard. Get in when red crosses green at a good angle. A good angle was objectively defined as two o'clock and four o'clock.
Get out when the the TDI goes flat or makes a check mark reversal. Trade these pairs, during this time of day. And yet, people still manage to muck it up. This is why automation is taking factory jobs, because without a supervisor breathing down the average persons neck, they are going to muck it up. They think they are are smarter than price. One trader here even admitted to trading with alcohol in his system. Who does that dumb sh*t? People, that's who.

When trades don't work they don't work. The probability of every trade is the same. I know, I know, someone will argue the math. There are also people who truly think the earth is flat......today. Some people cannot be bothered to be validated by a bunch of anonymous desperadoes on an internet forum. I don't blame them one bit. But they should be prepared to take the flames when they come, because they will definitely come. FF is full of trolls.

Jester is asking for TE.

Wonder who is going to ask "Can you manage my account"

You right Iddd most of my trade's that end in a loss is because I missed a vital point or the marked took me for a unwanted trip around the block.
This is not my method, don't need or have to proof anything. Why should I?
How many times must TMS be explained?
BigE did that already. Every possible question has been asked and answered many times over by different members.
The teacher has passed away. There is only students now.

Am still a newbie, know what it feels like to margin call, know what it feels like when you enter a trade and right at the moment the market turns around.
My simple post might help a member - good, if not who cares.

but allows the newbies a better vision on who to follow and learn from.
Itīs universally viewed, that people become more successful if they learn from the good and the bad. And most importantly, if they can make their won decision about that. When I was 12 and started Forex trading, I was given hundreds of bad trades. And I analyzed all of them as if they were worth millions.

Does not matter if good or bad. You draw a conclusion and become better.

Not saying you are 4'10" , 220 and bald or anything like that... Why say this then?

The alcohol would be me. I actually trade and drink wine at night. It relaxes me. If I smoked Weed im sure I would trade even better with laser focus. Unfortunately, that's not my thing anymore. Good Wine is.

Well here is the problem. It simply isnīt working like that. There are lots of situations where such setups still will fail. Now you might say, ok but even some more will work out great. So whats the deal? How do you prevent your self not entering a trade where it will fail? By taking 2 more other setups to end up posistive in sum? How many trades like that you want to find by not over trading while markets are most of the time just ranging to be profitable like that? Sorry but thats just bullshit, If it would be easy like that trading a cross of two lines looking at some "angle" everyone would be a millionaire.

Now you say well another rule is saying "use common sense". So why not using common sense at all without watching a crossing of two lines if you canīt trust in that at all?

@Tekkies. No i am not looking for some EA and also donīt need to get things proofed. But i also donīt keep constantly advertising this strategy and bump this thread with useless charts or comments like you or Emmanuel very often do. I think this wonīt help anyone and you simply should not wonder if people question this strategy or want some proofs. Thats also just common sense.

Bump this thread up?
Don't advertise in another thread's, bashing other members that they are trading a "newbie methode". What for?
Who forced you to come here and try this method?
You made a choice. I made the choice to learn this methode.

You see it as advertising.
I see it as a result of learning, studying, practise, fail, try again. Showing it can be done.

{quote} Showing it can be done. {image}
Great, but posting such charts where profitable trades are shown doesnīt help anyone. Most of the times not even any further explainations to it. Well Emmanuel taking it to another level here, but this is probably even more confusing lol.

So "showing it can be done" would be easy to present. Provide a validated track record everyone can follow and analyse every single trade or do live recording trades and post this instead.

Otherwise such charts do not help a lot i think. They do NOT "showing it can be done". All they show is a trade entered on a chart maybe already history... The TDI Angle for e.g might look completely different from the moment where you entered the trade and some other rules of the TMS for entries the same.

Also it still doenīt explain what you do to prevent so many false signals where angle might look good but you get stopped out because of what ever reason. I rarely see you post losing trades here. If you would be a active day trader i would expect you doing at least 2-3 trades week.
