Tekkies what was the reason again you don’t trade the H4? Just because of larger stops? You still only trade DE30, right?

As I return to the Forex world, I thought I would have a refresher session on some of Big E's later training charts, which provide great clarity of purpose. As Big E evolved his trading approach, he simplified his charts and dropped the Stochastic, so he kept his charts really clean and simple. His TDI window was also clean and allowed him to concentrate on the TDI crosses with great angles. The 5 EMA was only really used as a visual aid, and not for entries. He also focused on the H4, even for scalping, and sometimes reverted the H1 for London entry which he seemed to do less towards the end.

Another good point to consider is convergence and divergence between TDI trends and Price Action as a hint for where the next breakout / bounce / reversal may take place.

The key to his entries is simplicity - no golden crosses, no stackup of entry signals from multiple indicators, just good old TDI crosses with great angles. Keeping it simple is the most difficult thing, coz you always think adding another line, or another MA, or another indicator makes it easier.

Here is a good example of a Big E training chart. Hope this helps.

go back and read the eelfranz old thread and look for the links to CompassFX tutorial videos, pay attention what you hear and see when you watch those tutorial videos.

there was not Golden Cross!

GOLDEN CROSS of the original versions of TDI by Dean Malone is NOT Green and Red crossed the yellow line.

If you have read and paid attention to details on all Big E charts posted in this thread you must have learned that there is no golden cross because he removed that....

hey Tekkies

those DE30 M15 trades are not TMS trade according to Big E rules.

if you want more examples of Big E M15 trades using TDI entries, first read his Post#336

Those wanting more examples go to Forum: Commercial, then Craig Harris Stochastics Method... then start reading on page 246, post 3676 to the end... you will learn more fast... We switched from there to only discuss this method in the new forum...


and then study these M15 trades examples.

No spoon feeding. No lack of reading skills. Since when do you require reading skills to compare two pictures?
You are evading the question:
You say "Yes" for the left image (which is your golden cross: Post 86,935) then the right image is also a golden cross. That would make you look stupid again.
You say "No" to either image (which you are doing) then you have lied again in that post.

Speaking of reading skills, you show that you have none:

That will depend on how you read all his posts concerning 5EMA shift 3.

The post below is one reason to remove the 5EMA shift 3 from the charts:
Post#718
At one time I used the 5ema in a different way. Back then if a candle closed across the 5ema it was the set up candle. I would enter the trade at the beginning of the next candle if it was the same color.... and that still works... this is more conservative... I am more aggressive now and noticed I was giving up some pips doing it that way so I changed to using the TDI candle #1 or 2 for entries.

when you read Post#718, use some reading skills.

Using the 5EMA Typical Price, Shift+3 still works ... more conservative.

Hey Tekkies

read all posts by the OP eelfranz to get the full picture and learn EVERYTHING

do not limit yourself to just 463 posts in this thread.

Learning to trade is a lifetime process. Develop a trading system that fits you and practice, practice, practice. When your confident... go live.


see my post#97,299.

You continue to post like a stupid person trying to teach people here how to trade when you are not profitable in your own trading.

I already answered that question asked whether it is 5EMA Typical Price, Shift+2 or Shift+3.

now you can do your favourite thing and use your google search with keyword "5EMA Typical Price,Shift_+2" and see how many posts will show up in your search results.

- Don't recall that I asked you anything about "5EMA Typical Price, Shift+2 or Shift+3" for I don't use the 5EMA.
Why bother with a google search, will use your effort to save time. Total:28
Have posted previously that two methods are not the same and yet you persist to confuse members by quoting from Harris thread:
Harris thread: Post 2,562 5 sma, shift 2, Typical (yellow line)
TMS thread: Post 4,384 1) 5 EMA - is it 2, or 3 horzontal offset? I use the 3 personally... not much difference...
Just like the golden cross post:
You say TMS 5EMA then why do you refer members to read Harris posts
You say Harris 5SMA then you are misleading members in this thread.
Don't come with the lame reasoning of getting the "full picture" BigE has posted enough full pictures in this thread, he called them training chart's.

Reading all posts by the OP eelfranz will only cause uncertainty. That fact is clearly displayed in what you thumb-suck on a daily base like:
- BigE used the red line to make a trading decision
- BigE looked at other time frames or used other templates'

it is still your poor reading skills that is making you confused was usually. you stupidity has no limits but your keep it simple has reached its limitations.
you are even confused by the two thread titles... you poor soul lost forever.
still trying very hard to proved your existence in this thread and to be its teacher when you are not profitable in your own trading....

eelfranz aka Big E was a great trader with his years of trading experience. You are still a newbie who only started trading in May 2016.. 3 years and no sign of making any money. Nobdody cares about your stupid post 97086 and 97098 full of non-TMS and simply M15H1 VLines nonsense. Big E never taught us how to use vertical lines. He taught us how to read market condition and price action in his Post#647.

here Tekkies another post on a beautiful Sunday,

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..

Below is another of Big E training chart. This one is TDI exit using Big E vertical red lines. Make sure next week you follow his vertical red line for exits when you trade M15.
In case you are in doubt, this TDI exit will also work on your DE30 as well as your recent GBPUSD and USDJPY M15 trades.
Also note that M15 vertical red ines will appear early before the H1 verticla red line, so your TDI exit on M15 will be early before H1...you will lose less money using this M15 vertical red line ... do you get this?

Now you suddenly refer to V-lines.
Post 96,433: When you want to take a reversal trade, the HA candles + TDI Green line + TDI Red line + the 5EMA are very important.
Don't forget about the 5EMA where BigE posted : Gives me a better feel for what's going on... that's mainly the reason...

you really are confused Emmanuel.
You still have not posted any post by BigE in this thread where he used the TDI Red line to make a trade decision.
Red is only on the chart so that green can cross it. Angle of green and green cross over the red is used to determine trade entry keep post#647 in mind.
Nothing more, nothing less.

Actually Pips the "school yard fighting" has helped me a lot. It forced me to really make a in depth study to what BigE has posted in this thread. BigE parted a lot of valuable trading knowledge hidden and scattered through out is his posts, I would not have found them nor understand them if it was not for Emmanuel relentless effort to change BigE's way of trading the TDI to his way.

I agree with you that it display a childish mentality and there is really no excuse for it.

Hi Pip-Miner

my wife specialises in teaching children with learning difficulties and I learned from her and admire the amount of patience she has in her daily job.

Tekkies can be a challenge on most days in this forum but I know she is passionate about trading made simple and she is learning however she is still not there yet in her trading.

I'll give her more time...

please bear with this weird situation which started since May 2016.
