{quote} then forget about tick charts on MT4 and MT5. you can learn only using on tick charts in realtime markets with real volume. not offline charts.
There is no „real“ volume in forex because is a decentralized market. The Volume data and indicators based on volume is not reliable therefor I guess, at best you would get the volume from your own retail broker and I wouldn’t want to bet on that...

For those that believe that "Deep Practice" is the secret sauce to "masterdom", reread all of post #105,435, then do your own research to find the studies behind this information and then decide for yourself if "Deep Practice" is likely to get you any further than 30% of the pieces to achieving "Master" abilities.

I did not make this up. You can check for yourself.
only about 20-25% of deliberate practice hours can predict the acquired skill level. The other 75-80% come from other factors than deliberate practice.

10,000 hours

For newbies:

start with 1,000 hours and repeat that 10 times.

30 years ago, I was a newbie and I was hungry for knowledge because I wanted to retire rich.

What do newbies to TMS need to learn first?

Many of you know that I started in FF learning from other threads.
One is the James16 Chart Thread and the other is Long Term Stress Free Trading.

These 3 most important things you need to learn and master. These will add knowledge to how you interpret Big E's Post#647 and it is that simple.

Look for the PASR pdf in this thread.

Follow and complete THE PATH by strat. It is worth a few hundred hours.
I give credit when credit is due, to strat who started his old thread. IMHO, he is an unorthodox teacher sound rather tough and uncompromising but many grow to like him. I do like him and I would not want to ruffle his feathers which I did at times.

Have Fun and Enjoy your trading the journey.

{quote} Market Reply is what i am looking for, I guess last price selected for the historical tick data instead of bid and ask won’t provide the real spread then? About order execution, I will see once having the market replay running on the right data. I don’t need to test any automated procedures or indicators like that just instant market order for the price available at that time/tick for the historical data, pending order would be great but not sure if possible on market reply with NinjaTrader.
Yes, you can place pending orders (limit orders) in Market Replay.
Yes, you need both the Bid and Ask data to have the spread. Better to include all three Bid, Ask, and Last.

Your broker also does not have "real" volume data. He may have volume data that he accumulates from his clients, but that is not "real" volume data of the market.

Tick counts have been shown in other markets to be a "good enough" emulation of real volume data.

but you have $100,000 real money to trade, right?

then diversify your trading and trade different systems different markets.

you can grow $50K to $400K in 3 years risking $25K when you have a proven money management trading strategy with proper trade plans.

When you hear words such as , "What do newcomers need to learn first?", your credibility alarm should be sounding! How was the list of" things to learn first" determined? Through a rigorous scientific study? Through one person's experience, the writer's? Through one person's experience that is being interpreted and passed along by the writer? Through a collection of thoughts that the writer has decided sound good but have never actually been tested and verified as useful/worthwhile?

I am doing fine. Trading only the first few minutes of London Open now for 5-10 Pips maximum, close everything down after that and wait for next day, that’s it. To much time wasted already with trying to get that perfect indicator strategy working for me.

Life to short to watch charts all day long.

once upon a time ... "safest entries" by Big E, it's in his old thread (Commercial Content) before he made the jump back to Trading System.

Quoting eelfranz
Ok... everyone is looking for the safest entries possible while trading. The chart below gives you another option and works on all of our methods. The only difference is the indicators... Note I removed Stochastics and added 1) the Accelerator Oscillator and, 2) the moving average of oscillators. Note that when both oscillators cross their 0.0 lines at the same time (MARKED BY THE RED VERTICLE LINES) it's a pretty safe trade... see chart. This is showing momentum... I'm sure some will prefer this set up... and of course I've included the TDI (always)....

emmanuel7788 The first thing I learned when I started trading in 2012 was candlestick formations. I read three or four books on it and to this day I still go back and refresh my memory by reviewing them from time to time. That along with Support and Resistance can give you a good grasp as to how the market will move within the drawn boundaries of the S&R lines.

I keep going back to the first 20 or so pages of this thread to learn more about the method folks here are talking about. I was wondering what package you use that gives you data on several currencies at once? I have been so accustomed to looking at one pair every day EUR/USA

I come from the George Smith from Seattle FOREX trading made E-Z course. I tend to break even every week and its frustrating. I am trying to learn more about the method talked about on this thread. But since I am considered a newbie by the FF many of my posts pass moderation for some reason. I am trying to interact with some folks in here but it is difficult when the last 4 posts I have written are not posted.

Hi Toby

FF has its policy to review posts made by new members before the posts are shown publicly. After the first few posts ( it used to be the first 5 posts) , this pre-review by the moderator will no longer required. Keep on posting and discuss any trading topic you have.

I am sure George Smith has his background and taught many traders in his courses and you would benefit from his teachings, the rest depends on you and your own work going forward. You can apply what you have learned when you trade TMS 5-Method. Those candlestick reading skills will be very useful but do not overwhelm yourself with too many of the candlesticks patterns. I only use a few no more than my ten fingers can count. Just a few which are most commonly seen on TMS 5-Method chart template. I look at the price Bar Chart over the APB/HA candles.

Attached is a pdf compiled by another member erl
Candlestick Patterns (PASR) {click to download}

Edit.
Another pdf by erl
Candlestick Pattern for TMS { click to download}

Post some charts and we can discuss further. I am sure there are reasons for those breakeven trades and usually with the exit strategy and trade management. If you follow the OP post using TDI green line conditions for exit, then you will experience lots of exits when trading the lower timeframes like H1 and M15 but not so when trading H4 and D1.

Good trading in the new week.

Hi Mohamed

That is not an indicator. It is an Expert Advisor which has multiple functions and lots of features ... it is like a Swiss Army Knife.
You can use this as a trading tool to help you while you look for trade setups and get the alerts. It can also help you manage your trades using its Trade Management functions.

***Important to note is Do Not run TMS_V19 like those 24x7 auto-trading robot or you will your money.

{quote} It is still a backlash regardless to whom it is aimed. You regard BigE as an honest man and that 85% win rate is a fact because BigE said so. Then why is it not possible for a newbie who started 2012, not to achieve since then 85% win? Also what proof do you have that any of the old timers did not become rich with TMS. (They simply choose not to have their echo stroked by posting about it.) ------ Then this will also be a fact: I wanted a method that was simple, worked on all timeframes, simple rules, few indicators.... that when looking...
The biggest reason a noobie struggle with this method IMO, is the lack of knowledge regarding Price Action.
