Good for you. But these are only a few trades. To say something works in general you might want to present the last 2 years trades instead.

The biggest challenge I have when trading this method is to determine S/R levels; because whenever I look left for S/R I always find one. How do you guys determine which S/R levels are likely to hold and which aren't?
Yes, there is a lot of SR-levels and it's important to know the strongest ones. I do not use TMS but for mine system I draw the levels for the 2 higher time frames from my trading timeframe. I trade 4h so I draw weekly and daily. The strongest is weekly. I use different color so I can difference between weekly and daily. On the 4h i do not draw levels but I will notice if there is any level that look clear and that isn't visible on daily.

I prefer to draw the levels on candle chart. I know there are many that use line chart but then you only see the close price and not wicks.

Yes it is few trades I know but I started using TMS a while back played very well but left FX due to time now am back and ready... I have my tricks that am still working on so yes again to the naysayers if you follow the system and stop second guessing you will always have something to smile about everyday...

I'm not trading this method but what I see it's work nice in trending market (we have had that in a couple of weeks now). I think the method at first glance looks easy but it's not easier than other systems. I also think if you are profitable with another system that require knowledge of price action it should be easy to trade this system profitable too.

What about this H4 trade? The H4 chart here is more like sideways than doing lower lows. But the Daily Chart making lower lows. So i took this short opportunity.

However i was not checking for S/R either on Daily or H4. Also i didn´t care about the TDI green angle at the crossover or the levels of TDI or Stoch 68,32, 80,20 (Still do not really understand these, to me they just don´t tell much as price doesn´t seems to respect these levels more often than not).

So i just took the trade mainly due to the facts "the market structure" looked "okay" to me e.g not ranging with big candles and large wicks up and down at the execution TF (H4) and within the overall direction (down) on the longer-term picture (Daily).

Now did i got this correct? Let me know what you think, and what about the average 5-8 HA candle runs here? Looking at the last down swings these runs were more like 3 HA candles and now the trade is already candle 3 but i entered on the second bearish candle. If you look to the left there was one larger bearish move resulting in more bearish HA candles (so a longer down "trend") BUT you never know if the trade you took will also be one of such larger moves...

Because not everyone is already half dead, retired, trading for a pastime or as a long term investment :-) If you are in your best years its just comprehensibly looking for ways spending as less time possible working 8-10 hours a day for somebody´s else pockets, if in the end they also will end up poor retired, half dead and then find out trading for a pastime .

And yes, there are for sure easier ways to achieve this but i think it´s one legitime way of many. You know there are a million ways to make a million dollars, do what you like...

Augment is an English word that means to improve. It does not mean change. There are people making 5 dollars US a day. If they could make another dollar a day, that would be a significant improvement.That is a 20% increase in monthly wage, that will improve anyone's circumstances anywhere.

Why oh why does every kid under 40 think everyone over 40 is "half dead"?

If you are that concerned with working 8-10 hours a day working for someone else, become a professional at something and work 8-10 hours for yourself. It will be much easier than trying to pull a wage from any sort of market. Some of us are hobby traders because we were smart enough to choose the right career in our early years, made money and investments in our best years, and now we get to smile at the rest of you.

Bullshit

Then he goes on to say traders who read his newsletter make money. The reason most traders don’t profit from forex is that have been trading for too short period of time then give up. Their numbers sway the ledge to many more losers than winners. It took me 5 years to start creating a income stream, most foolishly believe they can make a million dollars from year 1.

You know I have friends who do nothing else but forex and a running very well. The trick is taking forex like a regular job and treat it as it supposed to be treated.

I believe the best way to demo forex is to open a cents account rather than trying to trade with a 10,000 -100,000 demo account just get a 1000cents account as it is close to realistic to what you might start with.

Lets not complicate the method yes it works and works very well on a trending market but why do you want to go an trade on a market that is ranging? It all matters on you trading style and how well you understand FX. Pick your method and do not over complicate just as simple as that.

Lets make this work for us.. Lets ask right question and lets plan our trades accordingly.

Oh... augment it is. And yes, probably in the U.S. and some other countries or places in the world, but not anywhere or anyone's circumstances in my opinion.

Anyway, I never said change, because it won't. I'm just stating the fact by having a cent account for trading will not "greatly augment" the standard of living (a degree of wealth & material comfort available to a person). It simply because the costs outweigh a dollar a day extra profit. Besides, the cent account is not made or meant for that at all, not unless or until one discovered a profitable/viable trading strategy and move on to a standard trading account that may eventually improve or even change his/her own standard of living.

You are from the DRP according to your profile. The average mall worker there makes about 400php a day, and I am rounding up. That is 8 dollars a day, again I am rounding up.

Are you suggesting that 30 extra dollars a month( one dollar a day) will not greatly augment their standard of living? Maybe if you live in Manila or central Cebu or Clark or Angeles City then not. For most of the rest of the country that is a decent amount of groceries and potable water. I would say that is a very significant improvement. An extra 1600 pesos is not something to sneeze at and many there would be most grateful for such an increase in income. You might be a Westerner living there and doing what you do, but to the regular people there, one dollar a day is a big deal.

I would agree with you regarding trading and discipline as well as to start with a very small account. If a trader cannot turn one dollar into two, why in the world would they think they can turn 10K into 20K? The only difference is that the market is not going to give you a wage. And it may not give you a wage for a few months. During these periods of time, can a trader depending on FX for income not make trading errors? I seriously doubt it.

No, it will not... The Labor group here is asking for around 6 US dollars minimum wage increase. Right now, the inflation rate here is 6.2%. I've been to far-flung areas of the country and the Peso is so weak against the dollar at the moment.

Yes, you can depend on a income stream with forex trading in any market if you trade a few different strategy’s. Trending markets for me offer the least profitable results because markets spend maybe 2/3’s of the time with no major trend occurring. When there is no Major trend, we can trade the shit out of a ranging or reversing markets with ease. Check out AUDNZD, EURGBP, AUDUSD or a few others to see the profits need to come from any strategy that’s not Trend designed.
