When account does not go the way you want, you will start to understand why BigE posted this:
Post#6....
If you add other things it will influence your decisions... usually to your detriment.
Don't try to complicate it thinking it can't be this easy.
Important to study TDI entries on old charts, any time frame...
Give yourself a chance and trade it like it's laid out...

Stay with what BigE has posted, follow his advice, not what other members post or may think is the right way to trade this method.

Hi Jaik1211

Post a chart with that PriceAction AHA on your trading chart. I want you to learn to see 'things' on your own charts and not any of my charts.

When a trader account does not go the way he/she wants, that has nothing to do with Post#6 alone. That can be wrong expectations. The OP already explained in several of his other posts. For example, the CONFUSION traders have with Post#6. When anyone add anything to your chart, make sure it does not conflict with the Stoch and RSI, and also you test whatever you want add to the chart, test for 1,000 trades and see your own results, it not necessary that what you add is detrimental to the method but your lack knowledge and understanding in system development. Learn from the OP how often he tweaked other systems/methods in his old thread.

WHEN TO EXIT ----------------- OK there appears to be some confusion here... According to the rules you exit when the TDI GREEN LINE goes flat, check mark reversal or hooks over.... this is for the conserative trader and works great. However.... note the blue box on the TDI below. See how the green line archs like a worm crawling up the red line without crossing red. You could have stayed in the whole trade without exiting until green crossed red finally. {image}

{quote} Hi Emmanuel7788, Can you help me to see where i can load this indicator similar chart on Strat's Long term Free ?
Be careful who you latch onto for advice. Check the information.

You will find much of the material that the ToxicFakeTrader loads up the TMS thread with --which, by the way, is ADDING things that BigE said DO NOT ADD ANYTHING--comes from Strat's thread. He was there before coming to TMS.

And did you read what he said? He said that FINALLY, after 8 YEARS of struggling with TMS, he has managed to achieve the BEGINNER'S success rate of 65%!

So, you want to listen to someone that took 8 YEARS with TMS to reach BEGINNERS status?

And what about the 20 years before that? (He claims to have 30 years trading experience). Well, again, read all about it! Read how he trashed account after account! How is it possible? Two obvious ways come to mind.

1. He can't trade.
2. He jumps from one system to another--Look at just a few: Ross hook, X-man's, Strat's, Medhi's--adding this, that, the other thing, HOPING and PRAYING that his perversion of the system will FINALLY get him out of his FailurePit.

His disaster after disaster even drove him to a mental breakdown, but STILL he doesn't change his losing ways.

Of course, you are free to follow whoever you want to follow. But it is usually a good idea to check past history to get a good idea of future behavior. Afterall, a leopard does not change his spots.

[And now enjoy the toxic reply that will be posted soon from the ToxicFakeTrader: It's coming, because ...
the leopard does not change his spots.]

well we all know the voices inside FakeDr has spoken yet again whenever any member post and discuss trading with me. He is the example of a leopard does not change his spots.

Poor man FakeDr with many fake PhDs and fake MDs. Too many that he is confused which is which.

He just suffered another mental meltdown ... several episodes in 72 hours that has reached very dangerous stage in his illness. So folks we have to be prepared to read more of his stories because those voices in his head is getting more and more creative with all the confusion using different languages.

His signature "The markets are speaking to you. Do you know their language?"
is evident of the presence of voices in his head.

He is now lost in TMS thread thinking it is his TDA wit IMT thread. We all can see why he no longer post in his own thread and he continue to jump from thread and thread to post his rubbish and attack other member's posts.

He is confused names given to price patterns with indicator names and with names of traders/members in FF.

Let's all show compassion for this poor soul who has locked himself in his straight-jacket.

those voices in your head are talking to you not the markets. What is predictive is whenever a member posts you will start your toxic post story repeatedly. Let's wait and see.

you have abandoned your TDA with IMT thread , thats your FAILED system telling and your Trade Explorer demo account is evident of a FAILED TRADER with a FAILED SYSTEM.

Hi vivenne

I have read all your PMs and also looked at the Aken candle.

The Aken Candle indicator shows the candle body in pips thats all it does. It cannot predict the next candle. No indicator can predict the future candles.

This Aken candle has not value to add to TMS 5-Method.


You may want to consider to use the Heiken Ashi with AVERAGE to help you pick the setup candle and trade TMS. THis is what some TMS traders have tested a few years ago and they will only trade the setups when the HA candle size is above its AVERAGE line.

Should I be using a confluence of charts whether it be HA, bar charts, japanese candles etc?
I promise I'm not asking for a shortcut because I know there is none, I just want to be sure I'm not wasting my time focusing on the wrong thing.

You did not read all the Big E posts in Forex Factory. You obviously missed his Post#647 and the basic forex stuff he mentioned in Post#647.

All your fake PhDs and fake MDs are useless when it comes to trading the markets. You did not even complete babypips School of Pipsology

NR4IB is one of the common price bar pattern you see on any price chart.

NR4IB = Narrow Range 4 Inside Bar

it is an Inside Bar and the narrowest (smallest) range within a consecutive series of the 4 bars.

See Post#107,253

You will also find the strategy here.

Hi Jaik

TMS 5-Method uses the APB/HA candles ... that's important. The HA candle has a few good features which I use.

As to whether you want to see the Bar Chart or not, it is up to you. I know Big E sees the Bar Chart but he has that in the chart background. I prefer to see the Bar Chart in the chart Foreground because I look at the real price when I am trading. I look at price retracement for better entry during a trade window of 15 mins to 2 hours when I trade H4.
The Japanese candlestick on the HA candle is too very useful visually.

There is not shortcut to trading success... TRUE! This is not a get rich quick type of business.
But there are many shortcuts which you will discover on your own. This is what I mean when I say "Learn EVERYTHING ... but you do not need EVERYTHING to trade and to make money". I am here to help some people shorten their learning curve and to help them along their learning journey.
When you have learned EVERYTHING which the OP Big E had shared in Forex Factory, that is your first milestone to achieve. Then the next step is to prepare your Blueprint to Trading Success - which will be your Road Map.

The PriceAction AHA 2.0 indicator will show on your charts only a few of the basic price action stuff which you can start with.
Except for the NR4IB , the DBHLC/DBLHC and BEOB/BUOB are easy to see without the indicator, you need to train your eyes. There are few more others price patterns common in TMS chart which are not covered in that PriceAction AHA indicator. I will post charts and show examples.
PriceAction AHA indicator uses standard Wingding codes below to represent different price patterns.

What is very important is what you do and how you trade the big candles and small candles like the NR4IB , the DBHLC/DBLHC and the BEOB/BUOB.

You EURUSD H4 chart is a good example where we see the NR4IB , the DBHLC/DBLHC and the BEOB/BUOB ... in action. I did not include the PinBar PB.

I like your ADR High-Low and many experienced H1 day traders would have caught that H1 BEOB at the ADR High at BRN 1.2000 and gotten a 1.5R
trade.

@jaik121, THAT post is the kind of information that you should take to heart. That is using the few indicators that BigE said to use, not some 10 to 20 additional indicators that add clutter to your chart and more importantly, clutter to your mind.

Save yourself a LOT of time and trouble and simply read only BigE's posts in the TMS thread, and you will be way ahead of others that come here and start adding indicators, EAs, and ideas from other systems.

No need to read anything after he died, because after that, the posts are either repeating what BigE already said, or even worse, perverting his system into something that is unrecognizable.

Sure, you can be in a race and reach the finish line with extra weights on your ankles. But why add those extras when you know that they make it impossible to be the WINNER of the race?

Just remeber what BigE said:
follow the simple entry & exit rules. Forget other indicators. I went down those roads so you wouldn't have too...

There is a handful who trade it correctly here who are rewarded nicely...
