You right, Iddd, much safer to walk away and keep the sanity intact.
(Actual the bank does the babysitting with compound interest.)

This trade is to show the risk involved when H1 has the correct angle but still need to go 35min to crossover. a Lot can go wrong.

- green angle below 5
- stoch confirm direction
H1 chart
- Has form a dubbel top
- Angle below 5
- Stoch has just confirm direction with a bonus crossover

Can’t see much from that chart again. Would be nice if you could post complete chart pictures next time, also try including a H4, and Daily Chart (if you look at them before any entry).

Too much focus on the TDI, like said a lot of times i see such setups fail all the time (no better win chance no matter what angle was looking at the entry candle)

So without seeing the hole picture from your trades it’s hard to learn from it, like what you do different than me. Most of the times such trades fail for me or break even at best.

Thanks in advance

What diffrance does it make?
Why do you try and go for the big win's? Take what the market is willing to give. If and when you have a big win good. Al those 1 / 2 / 3 pips will grow the account.
They all add up at the end of the day.

If of any value:

I don’t go for the big wins. I aim for 20 pips on each trade but there is spread and also the fact even the best looking setup can turn right against you.

So it’s a matter of increasing my win rate + to be able to end up a week positive, without over trading.

„Take what he market is willing to give you“ therefor sounds like a naive marketing phrase, honestly what should this help me in practice?

By the way if you already monitor your trades Tekkies I would not even let price turn back to break even this would be very stupid if you don’t run for the big wins, better exit the trade even if it’s just 1 pip.

From that H1 full picture left to right I would say your trade is not in direction of the trend ;-)

There‘s one bearish red candle formed and you go short? Isn’t that actually the complete opposite of „don’t trade against the trend“. Shouldn’t you at least wait until the last swing low was broken before any sell trade here?

Look at the trade now.
That is way the angle is so important. Sharp angle indicate a strong momentum.
Take note SL have been moved a down to just above that small R level.
Iddd learn to look what are the candles / wicks telling you. There is a lot of info there. APB is hiding all those small little point's that can help you
- Do you see any wick's?
Are the seller's / buyer's in agreement about the new trend direction
- H1 > Ono small wick atop of red bar show actually that sellers are a little stronger
Bar's are becoming longer to the down side
- M15 Stoch is all ready in OS and looks like it want to go up again
Warning to watch for a pullback or reversal.
Look at what is H1 showing you
TDI is going past the 68 level
Stoch is moving away for the 80 level
Have not even talked about the long / short term trend.
What did BigE mentioned about the long / short term trend
Post#49:
HA candles average a 3-8 candle run in most cases when it reverses... That's why I want to enter on candle 1 or 2 if I see a set up. A single candle on the 4hr nets you 30-60 pips or more generally. If it goes 3-4 candles you've already made 80-150 pips.
What direction is H4 / D1 going now?
----
TDI crossover only indicate a possible trade. If you sole relay on the cross over your butt is going to be kicked blue and purple.

Well but your entry on M15 was placed at the first bear candle. At this time there were no more bear candles, no larger ones, no wicks indicating sellers coming in. Or you even looked to the next lower timeframes than M15.

I am not even sure you waited for the close of the M15 candle which gave that TDI cross over.

Maybe you had a crystal ball telling you that it wont directly pull back with a series or bullish candles following right after one little bearish candle showed up.

At least that’s what’s happening to me all the time if doing such trades and if I post such losing trades here again you will then tell me again I was entering in consolidation market or against the trend direction. You are funny...

Maybe I am also wrong and completely misunderstood what BigE was teaching here with the TMS and this strategy is all about doing entries as quickly as early with the first candle changed color even if that means selling or buying against the direction of price was moving when looking at the chart from left to right.

And yes I can see wicks and so on even with average price bars I simply open another charts window but I actually don’t want this if not needed, it only making things more complicate also i thinks it’s much less stress to look at swings of red or green candles not changing color for every little noise move price was making, which makes it much more easy to decide wether to stay in a trade or not.

You look and don't see.
- Nocte that dojo on the M15 chart?
- Mentioned Double top H1
- Mentioned Resistance level
Did you watch that video? Did you notice that the Vline get's plotted at the same time the crossover has taken place.
You start to talk about a crystal ball then I can't help you.
Find that mentor to help you.

What video? No.

Tekkies, i wasn’t talking about any double tops or Dojo’s... I was simply telling you that the overall market structure at time of your entry looked like an bulls market to me and therefor my question was if its valid/normal to go short here.

From what I learned so far this is considered to be a counter trend trade or what ever people call it.

Maybe we wouldn’t have so much trouble here if BigE would have found more well defined rules and you even using such rules and not making contradictions statements here all the time confusing people like me with tons of stuff like now even looking for specific price action patterns like s dojo or double top, if I would see this alone and support or resistance maybe even though a signal I would probably lot even look at the TDI for any „momentum“ at all because such candles would indicate that momentum on its own.

I don't look at the overall market structure .
I look at what is happening around the TDI crossover.

How about a simple green bounce red?
Surely you can understand that.

Say again Iddd, TDI is not for you.
Please find a mentor that can sit beside you and show you what is happening on the chart.

For sure I understand that.

However if you only look what’s happening around the TDI crossover you are missing out the bigger picture.

if you look at everything but only talk about the TDI here there is nothing much to learn for me from your posts here, you are right.

Everyone should have no problem with spotting a crossover or bounce or two lines on a indicators window..

But if it would be that easy and 6 out of 10 trades would be profitable like that, well...

I think I am going to step away from this thread again, there are far to much different wannabe professionals here can’t explain much in a straight forward and easy to follow way.

Good luck to you guys and all the best for your future!

Don't contact Dean Malone about the TDI. The way he uses it for his method is 180 degrees from how we use it... you need to learn how to use it our way... The TDI is the heart of our method. It tells you when to enter and where to exit any trades... so review previous posts and learn it good. HA Candles are important because it makes your trading way less stressful... use them. Stoch's is nothing but confirmation. If Stoch's & the TDI give different signals... lights flash off and on warning me to take a closer look before entering.. and usually...
USTEC Jun 07 and Jun 10

Follow basic TMS 5-Method rules using the price action of the HA candles and its 5EMA like the OP had laid out in his Post#261.

When trading H4, the D1 is the higher timeframe trend.

@Tekkies

In the first place, you do not understand what the market structure is , therefore you do not know what and how to trade.

Keep It Simple: Market structure simple, it is what the OP has written in Post#647.
https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...40#post4581540

If you want to learn what professional traders like Mike Baghdady define market structure, then learn what is Price Behaviour.
Study those 4 videos on Price Behaviour.... Post#96,275

https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...40#post4581540

Market Structure is leading edge trading over lagging oscillators which only response to price behaviour. Nothing wrong with oscillators, they are technical studies based on OHLC price, without price there won't be any studies.
