Follow TDI.
1. Every-time M15 TDI makes a crossover:
If everything else looks strong, I don't wait for the candle to close... I enter ASAP. (Post 8,685)
a. H1 TDI green angle confirm the same direction.
c. Both TDI green are:
- Between 2 / 4 no trade.
- Between 2 / 1 and 4 / 5 are good signals to enter a trade.
- Between 12 / 1 and 5 / 6 are the best signals to enter a trade.
d. Both Stoch confirm direction.
2. Grow the account bit by bit.
3. Keep doing it over and over every day.

5. What do you use your SL and TP?
- You are on your own with this one.
Use EA to place BE (break-even) plus profit. Re-enter if price hit BE and rules are stil the same or wait for next set-up
Mental SL to close trade. (- $10 or -$5 or -$20 close trade)
TP can cut a profitable trade short or TP can not be reached.
edit: Try to keep the trade open until M15/H1 agree on a new trade. (Almost all chart's posted show the full scope of each trend line.)

if I am a human trading robot and trade every 4 hours and take every setup, I would be profitable in long term.

back-testing results using my broker's live data from Jan 01 to Mar 29 shows simple entry simple exit and is overall profitable.
- without the need to check Stoch and TDI, taking trades is a breeze exactly what the OP said. Simple price action follow Post#261.
- Entry / Exits using SL and TP set to risk - reward 1:1.5.

You don't need high win rate of 70% to 80%.

Thanks for the fun. I am enjoying it very much.

trading one single entry 20 lots.... that is a sure way to early margin call when your are wrong.

you are better than the OP Big E , he traded 2 to 4 standard lots single entry risking 15% to 30% of his $10k deposit. Do you know why he used conservative exit with his aggressive entry? LOL.

LOL Tekkies,

This is where you remain a newbie trader who do not know the Power of Position Sizing strategy and EXPECTANCY.

I trade using %Risk and Positions Sizing. My Risk to Reward is minimum 1 to 1.5 and with positive EXPECTANCY above 2.5.
To trade with 20 lots, my risk is still the same 1% of my trading capital. When I lose one trade, I lose 1%. But when I win one trade I win 1.5%.
When I suffer 3 consecutive losses, I will recover the losses with 2 consecutive wins.

I know Big E recommeded that traders risk 2% to 3% of their account.
Make sure your using sound money management only trading 2-3% of your account per trade.

You guys/gals are making smokin' trades here. I hope you keep it up and even more post their charts and results. Once you get the hang of it you begin to see how simple it is and yet powerful for making your daily goal for pips in the bank. Make your goals reasonable and increase it slowly as this method becomes concrete in your mind. PipCop made a killing last night making trades, using a trailing stop and then back to bed. PipTalk did the same thing with success. If you have never done that before... try it on your demo account. Make sure your using sound money management only trading 2-3% of your account per trade. If you can afford it... trading multiple lots is good. If your real account is too low to do that... demo multiple lots so you can get the feel and experience. Because most traders open a live account with the minimum balance required... they are strapped on the amount they can trade safely and not burn up their live accounts. I encourage everyone to make the time to study your favorite chart or two... learn how it generally moves, average number of candles per swing on a specific time frame, etc. Go back 30 days to 3 months or more and carefully study it's every move and it's repeating moves, repeating times. In the long run it will pay you back mightly for the time you invested in your own education.
BTW, there are no such thing as good and bad traders. I have fun reading your posts everyday... pure newbie entertainment, example is one copied below:
The hard truth is : There are the 5% and the rest 95% where you belong.

{quote} How come? With a method that does provide a "best" entry and a "best" profitable exit the need for "bad" money management does not exist. Impulsive trading will cause a trader to use "bad" management to rectify those trading mistakes. Inanimate objects (trading itself) cannot be good or bad they are just objects. (An inanimate object by definition has no will of its own it can not be bad) There are only good or bad trader's

LOL Tekkies,

You quoted Post#8685 which has nothing to do your M15H1 V-line trading. Your problem is you do selective reading and picking our only words that suits what you think and use that to justify your own trading method in this TMS thread.

(Post 8,685) was a discussion about trading H1 chart and the 3 amigos AU, EU and GU. See Post#8603.

The member Lain posted his reply to the OP and ask his question.

{quote} Hi Big E, Those were definately some good trades. My demo account got killed today on some quick reversals on 4HR charts. Got a question thought on the E/U trades you just mentioned (the others are all the same too, a/u, g/u, ect.). The cross didn't happen until the 2nd color change bar. So if you wait until it closes to confirm the TDI cross, you'd be entering on the 3rd color change bar. Isn't that breaking the 2nd color change bar rule? Thanks Big E. Glad to see you back in action! Lain {image}

See his chart posted with his question. Did you notice the Stochastics slope indicator and what it does. Also the MTF HAS indicator below.

DE30 H4 back-testing Jan 01 to MAr 29 2019 data;

Here is another back-test results trading H4 without Stoch and TDI (Post#2617), but use Post#647 and follow Weekly price action above 5EMA for BUY only decision when taking H4 trades.

Do you all understand the Power of Position Sizing and Risk:Reward factors play important part in your trading performance.
You need to watch the consecutive losses and consecutive wins cycle and prevent too deep drawdown periods.

4H swing trading is BUY only.
Weekly price action is above its 5EMA.
Cut-Loss is below previous 2 weeks low.

Note: Use MACD(2,13,7) to replicate the TDI for those using non-MT4 platform.

Post#8685 says "If everything else looks strong, I don't wait for the candle to close..."

You did not check everything or did you? What did you include in your "everything"?

Did you apply Post#647? the long term trend?

The price action shows High-Low, Higher High ... and you sell right into a previous swing high which is support.

BTW, your 12/1 and 5/6 are not the best signals. Big E has another clock angle which he mentioned few times.
TMS traders do not trade signals. TMS traders trade price momentum which we can see with the HA candles and also some prefer to see the Price Bar over HA candles.

@Tekkies,

obviously you do not have confidence in your M15H1 V-line method.
how may trades have you done so far?
if you have say, 36 months of trading completed, you would know the answer to that simple question - What do you use your SL and TP?
Provide answers using your trading performance and statistics.

Use EA to place BE (break-even) plus profit.

No wonder you have so many breakeven trades and your account grow 'bit by bit'.
If you have confidence in your M15H1 V-line entries, just use 'set-and-forget' and let the market decide on your win/loss, after all you claimed 80% win rate, right?
or did you include those BE+2 pips as profitable trades in your 80% win rate?

Try to keep the trade open until M15/H1 agree on a new trade.

Easy to say, why didn't you use 'set-and'forget' in the first place and let the market decide whether TP get hit or SL get hit. Well, this is what some traders call Trade Invalidation. No need for the mental SL, SL it is not a mental strategy it is how you manage your own mental.

I am having lots fun reading what you post every day. Very entertaining and also refreshing since you started posting in 2016. You are like saying the sun will rise when the rooster crows.

@Tekkies,

another of your gibberish post to entertain us . thank you.

I know what trigger you.

Tekkies spends too much on his TDI and Stochastics, now on his M15 & H1 V-lines gimmicks.
Tekkies did not spend enough time on Post#647 to learn Price Action, Support & Resistance and Market Consolidation.
Tekkies should spend more time on Money Management, Risk management for entries and exits.
Tekkies should learn to reduce his large number of BE trades, and How to Let Profits Run.
Tekkies will one day learn Post#2617 and he will realize that he can strip the TDI and Stochastics from his trading charts and he would then realize that taking trades would be a breeze and that the TDI is not in his WINNING EDGE equation.
