{quote} Trading styles evolve. It would be better if you open a new thread on your strategy which is like upgrade of Big E version like how he did from Craig. So that people can follow your trading setups and see if it is fetching good results.

first you follow Big E trading journey here in Forex Factory and learn EVERYTHING he shared.

No need for me to start a new thread in Forex Factory. Until there are enough number of active TMS traders who actively post and share their trade ideas and actively participate in trading discussion then you all can start your own telegram trading groups. You can invite me to join your groups where I will share my weekly trade plans and setup alerts.
As of now, there are already several telegram groups and a few members on WhatsApp. X-Man has his own telegram group.

What I have shared since 2012 till 2015 are all here for you all to read and learn.

Of course, when you Tekkies post only TMS 5-Method charts and discuss trading, it will all be good. People would be happy when the comedy stops.

Keep It Simple: Focus on trading and Trading Made Simple.

That won't happen Manojaum.
Emmanuel have been asked many time's in the past to do just that.
He would rather stay in this thread and confuse the crap out of newbies.

hey Tekkies

those are just additonal information which does not conflict the basic use of the HA candle, 5EMA Typical Price, Stoch and TDI or RSI.

The H4 high low helps to see what the H4 is doing and the duration of the M15 candle inside a H4 period. It also hep to see the H4 Open and Close, etc.
The BN levels just to look at price reaction at the 00 and 50 levels which Big E talked about in his posts.
The fractals is to alert the swing high and swing low and to pick out the candle now 3 of the swings.
The 50EMA and 200EMA are good reference to where the 10EMA or 5EMA are on the higher timeframes. Big E also used other MAs.

I have no problem to see all the above without additional information indicator but then I have to write and describe what I see on my charts when I post which then takes too much time.

Anyway, when you post only TMS 5-Method chart templates so I will also do so. Do you agree?

It won't be easy for the very new members.

the fact isn't the same becasue it looks like your TDI has repainted all its history bars... so the cross may not be exactly where they were when in live realtime market .

the re-painting can be anything from 8 bars to 34 bars into its history in the case of the TDI version Post#25.

do you do live screenshot every candle close and compare the TDI history?

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 you can then move on and develop your own trading system following how he did his.

try this,

Here is a quick introduction to this Trading Made Simple thread:
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
If 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 create your own 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.

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 learn to trade journey.

Some crossover's will repaint, those that are not below 4 / above 2 and for sure not all history bars.
----
Why do you want to compare TDI history?
It is impossible to trade crossover that happened in the past, price has packed his bag and moved on.

Trade the crossover that is about to happen on the current bar.

Stay focused Emmanuel.

Exactly my point made that your VLine drawn on TDI crosses that have been repainted and different when in live market realtime.

Comparing TDI history will show which of those old bars were re-painted hence not correct to backtest by scrolling back to old charts.

Trading like Big E can only be done in live market using his TDI Post#25 version and following his written rules.

I am very focus when the bar closes and the next new bar opens and this is why I learn and mastered the TDI very well and not to make the mistake trading TDI crosses blindly. I am focus in the price bar and HA candles to see the price momentum when I pick the best reversal and bounce trade setup when I was trading H1 and M15.
