Quite right. Just about as impossible to have logical, rational, and healthy debates with a person who resorts to topic dodging and toxic rants intended to belittle and abuse others that "strike a nerve" when raising dubious and questionable points in his diatribe.

The question remain Dave.
TMS has no OP to control what members post in this thread.

How would reader's know that:
BigE posted: Stoch confirm direction
and not
Member post: TDI confirm Stoch.
-----
BigE : When I check my charts... I look to the TDI... then PA.
and not
Member: First PA then TDI (based on what the OP has posted in a other thread.)
----
Member post: Remove TDI / Stoch because it is written in one post. Ignoring that BigE's other post's (explain in a manner) what the intend is of that remove is.
like:
- The key to building confidence is to study old charts... look at the TDI moves (now remove TDI ) and how it looks on PA (Burn it into your memory) so every time you see that same set up (a breeze for me) you will know your odds for success are high.
-----

Not many readers even bother to read post#1, why would they bother to fact check what members are posting.

I don't think that they actually intend to indicate that BigE was some legendary trader, but rather the main bone of contention is about the thread itself and the fact that some people (yes, we're looking at YOU, FakeTrader) are interjecting material that was NOT what BigE presented, and NOT what BigE wanted on this thread.

In addition, FakeTrader twists and distorts what BigE said so that only the (handful of) people that actually read the entire thread recognize the FakeTrader's perversions.

In this thread, BigE stated that ONLY TMS is to be discussed and EAs not to be used or discussed here.

In case you missed it, FakeTrader has the audacity to post that he is filling BigE's shoes and carrying on the legacy! Any wonder why this thread is for daily laughs and jokes and not for serious trading discussions?

So, with his many perversions that he has added that are contrary to what BigE wanted, he has taken TMS and turned it into his unholy abomination and in so doing, turned the thread into the DUMP thread: The thread where anyone can feel free to dump any and all of his garbage of any type.

That is just one of the many hidden "features" of that EA. You will need to study every setting for at least 6 months, then when you think you have mastered the settings, you can try it in a demo account for 6 months, and if it performs as you expected, then you can finally take it live and after you have 1000 trades and 2 years of using it live, you can make your decision as to whether or not it is useful for you.

You see it as legendize iterating, I see it as re-enforce learning
How do you become an dokter / ingenieur? You study for many years thick medical / ingenieur books. When practice your vocation those books are consulted over the years.
You change the context of those books a patient will die (wrong diagnosis) / bridge collapse (wrong concrete mix) because you think you know better.
You don't follow BigE's post's, TDI is going to burn you.

what nonsense? Tekkies you and your FakeDr as your cheerleader.

The developer of Trading Made Simple 5-Method is Eric aka eelfranz and he is the OP of both threads. He stopped posting in Oct 2011, last online was Dec01, 2011. He fell very ill then and passed away peacefully in 2012.

We should remember him and his good work in sharing his trading journey with us in Forex Factory. Each of us can learn from all his posts in both threads.
We can on our own continue our learning journey on our own and support one another in whatever ways we can and help Eric build this thread and this is one of his written wish.
We should protect Eric' his legacy and not let anyone with commercial interests come here and mislead people into going to their websites and pay for things which you can learn here and be able to learn and to trade as independent traders and not having to subscribe to and pay websites for monthly subscription and trade signals.

I agree with you about this. I'm going to test it out a bit, but the way it shows on my screen is to cramped together. I was thinking maybe its my screen resolution so i hooked up a 1080p portable screen to see if that would fix the problem but it didnt.

my 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. Many traders have moved on to trade their own systems.

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..
