Hi Emmanuel
I hope you have a nice weekend. Could you please spend for me some time to share a better view in your entry and exit of DE30 week16. Maybe some screenshot or anything like that on you entry timeframe, H4 I guess. It will help me to learn much from how your entry and exit and your MEME/building position.
Thank you.

Hi hikaru259,

that would be easy just to drag and drop those trades from my terminal onto the chart.

but, did you know that the OP also traded with multiple entries?

how did he do that?

it in his old thread where he traded different methods/systems. Don;t let that thread thread mislead you into thinking that that thread was for Craig Harris Stcohastics Method. In that thread is where the OP also shared two of his own methods - The 21/233 Method and his 5-Method and he moved the discussions on his 5-method to this new thread. Reasons are well known in that old thread.


Read these posts:

Big E on using multiple entries in the CHS thread

Post#2622 , Post#2629 , Post#2771 and Post#2912 Post#2193

Once you understand this, you can adapt trading with multiple entries also to the 5-Method. Instead of trading his 10PM, 2AM candles and closing at 6AM, we can trade every 4 hours when we follow the Weekly trend or swing just like my DE30 Weekly trades. Instead of placing one single trade risking 15% to 30% of his $10k account, we simply divide the full Risk into smaller trades. You need to use an initial Stop Loss and do Position Sizing for every trade. Remember when we trade with average entry price of several positions.

Thank Emmanuel, I am still learning Multi entry + basket management and try to adapt to my money management. But I also find it hard to timing in scaling in (green basket). I'm totally agree with you: no spoon feeding, no short cut, we need to learn by ourself.
And some ideas for today and next days:

Hi,

You have marked 3 of the bullish HA candles with momentum.

You may want to put the Stochastics(8,3,3) on your chart to see if it shows the same momentum 'signal' as the TDI#25 version. Also the PAC 5SMMA High Low will filter out the small candles. using the PAC you will find more trade opportunities and also using the PAC for managing trades like placing SL and moving SL.

Unlike the usual forex currency pairs, the indices such as DE30 has its own characteristics and behaviour. Most often the liquidity flows during the European market sessions.

You often see small candles after a bigger move and this happens after London session closed. The NY afternoon session is usually quiet.

Also I like to see the real price bar over the HA candles, this is what I look at when I refer to price bar patterns... not the HA candle.

DE30 Week 17 Apr 23 to 26 Update:

Market was closed since Friday and re-open later today.

On my Weekly, I see potential levels where possible reaction - 12230 and 12397. Still quite long way to go till 12643, if corporate performance results are good for 1stQ. then more to the upside this week and coming weeks.

I stay on the buyers' side until I see a 3D1 reversal.. it will take at least 3 bars to see potential reversal of this current bullish trend.

{quote} Hi, what do you use for order distance between EPs?
Hi Emmanuel,
I have a basket with the EP zone what is determined by S/R, pullback to MA50 and trend continuation, RDH/RDL. The basket will have a initial/fixed SL (counted from the first EP) is 2 x ADR(100). The basket has max 5 EP. When I trigger the first EP based on TDI confirmation/cross, I will have some limit orders with distance of 0.20 ADR(100) (or 1/5 SL) to average down in case of the price go against me. The basket will risk 3%-5% capital. If 3 limit orders trigger , i will have 2 orders remaining for scaling in. If the third limit order trigger, i will be careful with PA and try to cut basket with BE or small profit asap and review the trade plan again.

very good.

this is a lot better than trading like the OP who was risking 15% to 30% of account deposit per single entry trade and we do not need to exit when price suddenly pull back 10~15 pips... we build our positions during the pull back which works best when we trade the D1 and W1 chart timeframes.

Just wanted to share my chart and trades as ive been extremly profitable with this method. I will like to thanks each and everyone of you for that constant suppot and very helful infromation. Ive read all of OP's resposnes and posts aswell as images and threads he started. Many long nights and weekends. Would like to say it was EXTREMLY worth every second.

Attached i keep my template very simple and look for setups during the open of NY US session. I look for how big the candles are, where the last swing high/lows. Angle of the green tdi cross and distance away from the red. We cant take every cross but we can evaluate it the best change we can and only trade the high probable setups! This is TRADING MADE SIMPLE. Love you big E!

If anyone have any questions i would be glad to help answer anyone here im always re reading big e's posts.

its two different topics here:

1) scaling-in trades to add to an open basket

2) exit strategy - managing trades in a basket

start with 1)

Most important thing a TMS trader need to learn is to identify the market type conditions to trade. The OP once said he 'got burned' because he did not identify the market correctly. He also said :"Learning to trade is a lifetime process. Develop a trading system that fits you and practice, practice, practice. When your confident... go live....Learn to tweek your strategy to stay up with changing market conditions."

What do you need?

You start with the first key-
Market Types: The First Key to Forex System Development

Know the Market Type conditions and Know yourself as the trader, and apply the right strategy to scale-in and scale-out.

it is your commitment and diligent work and the market will pay you.....

if anyone is prepared to spend 3 to 5 hours everyday for 2 to 3 years, you are very likely to achieve something.
