Oh I forgot to turn TDI on. About Stoch, I dont need it, so I dropped it.
I just turn TDI off to check if I can predict the crossover of TDI when I see price movement.

And I think all of you were pro, profitable trader. Because all of you don't want to discuss about trading, no chart, no idea, and what all of you trying to do here? to protect the name of method or the template? or to show respect to BigE? I don't think BigE want anyone to respect him like that. He only want to help people. Thank BigE for introducing APB and how to trade with TMS checklist.
I really don't understand all of you. Sorry for some rude words from a newbie like me. I just want to trade and discuss. Nothing more nothing less.

It's really quite simple. This thread and this method belong to eelfranz. Very explicitly he asked people to NOT add outside indicators to HIS method on HIS thread. A simple and justified request, wouldn't you say? If you want to discuss Price Action, Volume or anything other than what eelfranz has given to the community, then go somewhere else and do it in another thread......BECAUSE......as has happened.......people think that they can do what they want in this thread and the method of eelfranz is lost. How many times do people come here saying that this thread is so confusing and could they have the latest indicators / templates etc etc etc....and that is because, in a large part, Emmanuel has NOT done as was asked by eelfranz, and he has done whatever he wants in this thread. Others who have a different view of TMS, like Likica for instance, have done as eelfranz requested and opened their own thread, rather than pollute this thread.

But now it's pretty much too late. The legacy of eelfranz, and his system has been destroyed and lost. So much for the legacy, and respect of a man who died after giving so much for free, and just had a simple request to make...and that was to keep HIS method intact on HIS thread.

Is it so much to ask?????

Sorry but i don't add any outside indicators to TMS method of BigE.
- I use EMA.
- I use HA/APB
- I use volume, jusst to show, i don't discus anything about it.
- I used TDI (droped 2 day ago for experiment)
I dont like indicators, sure. I only use indicators for support my analysis. But I love APB/HA so much. And I don't feel confused when i read all of 4000+ posts and know exactly trading style of BigE and other pro in this thread. I sill use TMS for learning what TMS shows and what is happening behide?
Thanks

Have tried it Kirinda and the market took me for loop.
Even tried to use the Line chart and again got taken for a unwanted trip around the block.

You need to use Post#647 to validate every crossover. How do you use Post#647 if there is no bar's to show:
- S/R level
- Long / Short term trend
- Consolidation
- Bar size
- Wick length and placement.

You go only by what the TDI crossover confirmed by Stoch alone you will get your butt kicked real fast.

Nice that you have tried it. I asked because it's looks that you trust TDI alot. I just tried it myself and it was difficult. Maybe it's possible to trade only indicators, without
price chart, but I can't remember too see a manually system like that.

{quote}Strat also said you are an indicator junkie pretending to be a price action trader....is that also true? That sell he put in was not based on price action it was based on price making the moving averages downwards trending, price action would have made him wait until there was a bearish engulfing candle or some such to confirm the sell.

Yes strat said that. So that is true.

I was one of the many who follow his THE PATH and learn from him so he was one of my many teachers here Forex Factory.

When my teacher used me as example to in his lesson to other students I accept that because my teacher want all his students to follow his teachings. That is okay with me. Being called an indicator junkie does not make lose money trading. It is what he market calls me that counts.

I wont make comment on his sell trade. He trade PASR.

hi Hikaru

Have you read all posts starting from Post#1 up to Post#12,219?

I read them over and over again the past 7 years and I still read them again when I need to find answers to questions that pop up whenever I look at my charts.
I take notes every time I read, re-read again and again. My handwritten notebook is now a Window Word wikipedia of Big E's trading journey 2008 to 2011.
This has help me answer all the newbies questions when they ask here in this thread. Thank you to all newbies for making read and read and read Big E posts the past 7 years. You all have helped me learn while I follow the trading journey of the OP.

How many times do people come here...

The best way forward is to let members read for themselves and let them decide on their own. Read from Post#1 to Post#12,219.

To all new comers to this thread and wanting to learn how trading can be made simple, first learn EVERYTHING that the OP of this thread knows.

Follow his trading journey by reading, studying and understanding every of his posts in Forex Factory and learn EVERYTHING he knows.

If you need a reference post where to start, below is a summary:

Introduction to Trading Made System

To learn what Trading Made Simple is, you have to follow the trading journey of the OP eelfranz aka Big E. He started as a newbie in 2008. Know the history and you will learn a lot from the OP and when you have mastered the 5-Method, you can then move on and develop your own trading system following how he did his. I have moved on after 7 years.

Trading Made Simple for beginners : Post#52,707

A short history by pioneer member snarlyjack Post#110

Our late OP eelfranz aka Big E spent 6,000 hours: Post#6 and he evolved as a trader and went on and developed two trading methods.
5-Method and 21/233 Method Post#3018, Post#4104,

After months of postings and answering many frequently asked questions FAQs,
eelfranz made the jump to this new Trading Made Simple thread on 26 April 2011... Post#4432

In Post#1, he explained how he traded the H4 chart timeframe and he also traded the H1 chart during the NY session. This suited his lifestyle being retired and the time zone he lived. Sadly he passed away in Oct 2012.

Two very important posts: Post#261 and Post#647, give a simple summary of what this 5-Method is and the basic forex stuff we check before we look for the TDI setups to trade.

TMS 5-Method Basic Rules: Post#53,841
Always check the #1- Price Action first, then #2- TDI Post#3142
Big E wanted us to build this TMS thread together... Post#4,432

The original indicators and template Post#25
When you are overwhelmed (information overload) by the number of posts and the loads of information and variations shared by other traders here, the best thing to do is to stop reading and go back to the basics what Big E mentioned in his 463 posts in this thread and 861 posts in the CHS thread. First you learn and master the 5-Method first before you start add your own tweaks and make a new system.

Recommendations:
Read all of Big E posts... 861posts in the Craig Harris Stochastics thread and 463 posts in this TMS thread....and make notes on those training charts he posted. Pay attention whenever he mentioned PA and what you see on his training charts.

Learn the basic stuff about forex trading first. A good place to start is www.babypips.com/school

If you want to trade the way Big E described in Post#1, make sure you use his template , the Synergy APB / HA candles and use that TDI Red Green version. These are in Post#25.

Important to Note that the TDI Red Green version repaints all the bars in history so you cannot use this when you do back-testing by scrolling back your charts. The better way is to run this in live market and trade the TMS setups based on what you see without refreshing your charts. When you want to trade with entries on the APB#1 and APB#2 candles, always wait for the price bar/candle to close and use the TDI to confirm the setup.

Enjoy and Have fun during your learning journey..
