Reason: Twice EU tried to break out of consolidation. (previous two chart's) Both times support and resistance level broke the momentum.

Zoom out on all timeframes.
See how many bar's price is cutting in half, or where support/ resistance stop price to move father in that direction.
So it is wait and see what happen tomorrow.
> Also, so far M15H1 TDI green and stoch did not agree on direction either.
Remember when you look at TDI you need to look at where M15 crossover. Close/ above / below 68/32 level is not a wise place to enter a trade.

EURUSD Oct 07 review

many different traders different views ... but TMS trader who sees #1 price Action then use the Stoch #2 for REVERSAL candle and #3 RSI slope for the price Momentum will make money,

repeat this everyday and master the 5-Method and you will retire rich.

learn EVERYTHING and take what works for you the same way it had worked for Eric aka Big E , he said this :
"Learning to trade is a lifetime process. Develop a trading system that fits you and practice, practice, practice. When your confident... go live." #296

You don't need to spend your lifetime learning to trade TMS 5-Method. Form now till the end of the current pandemic, don't know how long more until the next Disease X comes along... you can do it!

Yes! when you have doubts seeing your charts and including the TDI, then I do what the OP said:
When you see a TDI cross that doesn't look good... start checking other timeframes for the trade... look at other templates at different timeframes... do a thorough investigation before entering any trade. If you do this faithfully your win rate will increase dramatically... If its not quite ready put it on a watch list and go back and check it every 5,15 or 30 minutes...

I start every week with my Weekly Top Down Analysis WTDA
and I see a big Weekly candle which has a name "Weekly Control Candle WCC" . WCC is just one of the TA tool which help me define the market type for 4H swing trading.

I can't trade like that. Which bar is the bar that will tell you to place that order?
Now all that TDI does to is to give a focal point to which bar on any timeframe to look at.
After that TDI setup you start to find reasons not to place a trade.

Price is about to take out orders.
That is ok. For those that are concern how many pips are made (5*11=55 pips) is not important.
What is important is did you follow the advice BigE's gave in this thread.
You could also trade without BE + spread and rely on H1 momentum to take price down again.
I prefer to keep what price was willing to give freely.

One of Big E advice in this thread is this post #281

" ....Just make the necessary transition to trading 4hr charts during the London session... or Daily charts"

He lost enough money trading M15 and H1 and he made money trading H4.

Stevepatt was one of the finest TMS trade who started in Big E old thread and he learn EVERYTHING.

He would have seen these price action

Hey Tekkies

You are not happy as usual.

Just read stevepatt posts in FF. How many years did he take to start trading without the TDI.

Every TMS trader takes time and they will slowly learn to trade without the Stoch and the TDI until one day they can trade lie Big E as in his post #2617

There are no contradictions ... my posts and charts simply show the gradual transition which every trader will go through in stages. You are not there yet until you try look at the charts price action as #1 then the #2 Stoch, then #3 the TDI.
You are looking at the TDI as #1 and you will take a very long time to get to that level of the OP Big E. You started in 2016 and today is 2020, that still a very long way to go for you. stevepatt started in 2011 ... years ahead of you. Those who follow you will take much longer.

See this example which I posted earlier today. post #109,465 Learn what you missed yesterday.

The contradictions will never stop. He thinks that everyone should follow his advice and trade the H4 or D1. That is simply a PERSONAL PREFERENCE.

BigE traded TFs smaller than H1 at one point. He gave his reasons for why HE prefers to trade H4/D1.

H4/D1 are not appropriate for traders with small accounts. And no doubt, there are few people that view this thread that have the account equity to trade the H4/D1 with reasonable risk for adequate capital protection. Therefore, continued preaching about the virtues of H4/D1 are of little value to most readers of this thread.

He also made it clear that he developed a system that works on ANY TF!

So H1/M15 discussions are far more appropriate for the masses here.

I prefer to trade the 4hr charts at night. My broker posts new 4 hr candles at 10pm my time (Pacific), 2am my time and 6am my time. My page when I open up my charts has 8 open charts. I just glance at the TDI for set ups when the new candle opens... If I see a set up... green just crossing red I'll take the trade, turn off the puter and go to bed. Four hours later (1:50am) my alarm goes off for the new candles and I take a peek... if I see a new set up I'll enter and go back to bed with the last alarm at 5:50am my time.

well, the Op Big E posted this:

I close all trades at that time and go back to sleep... There are enough set ups in a normal week to make 200-500 pips... Stress is zero...

If I do any day trading I'll use 1hr charts at news time. Any method and any timeframes are difficult and fast on the 5-15 min charts. That's where most traders get taken to the slaughter and the dealers know it which puts the odds in their favor...

I hate to monitor charts anyway. Even if I scalp the market I use 4hr charts with success....

4hr charts have less noise, less head fakes, less influence by any news. Just has a lot of benefits...

The key to building confidence is to study old charts... look at the TDI moves and how it looks on PA so every time you see that same set up you will know your odds for success are high.

Klops... (503) I'm not looking for 15 pips profit... more like 150 ! The money I put into my last trading account ($10,000) I don't even think about it. It's like the money you take to Las Vegas. You hope to win but don't often... Your taking money for entertainment and relaxation... So I don't give it a second thought... It's entertainment money as I said... Besides It always grows larger... I REMEMBER THE DAYS WRINGING OUT MY HANDS FOR MY $500 ACCOUNT... THE SKIES FALLING ! Help, help, help. If I enter a trade lets say and I'm monitoring the trade...

What account size do you have?

What bullshit you need big account to trade H4 and Daily.

I REMEMBER THE DAYS WRINGING OUT MY HANDS FOR MY $500 ACCOUNT... THE SKIES FALLING ! Help, help, help.

If I enter a trade lets say and I'm monitoring the trade and its up 50 pips but suddenly it pulls back 10-15 pips I just exit. I'll keep the profit at $10 a pip... no big deal. If it turns and continues (bounce) I'll just jump back in... Don't get so rigid...

Evidently I missed something while looking at the set up and it's cut me short.... there are always set ups on different timeframes... different pairs. I'll study the trade I jumped out of for the answer so I don't make the same mistake again hopefully..

If your worried about the money in your account how are you going to pull the trigger with confidence? They tell you from the get go the money in your account shouldn't be money you need... otherwise don't trade...

Learning the fx market is like going to school. It costs to go to school and your pip money for trades is what you use to learn. When you have a reliable method and confidence... the market starts to pay you for your education expenses... profit.

The only reason I deposited that amount is because I trade full lots and some trades have 2-4 lots on a trade... or I'll add additional lots as the trade is in progress.. no big deal...

I'm in this because it's fun, keeps my mind active and I'm good at it. Pretty cut and dried...

> I am happy with how I use TDI with BigE advice in this thread. I don't need or ask you for any advice.
For the simple reason (one of many): "M15/H1 Buy EURUSD" based on what a monitor indicator showed.
How many trade's took that advice and got burned?
Also why did you Post 109,479.
Do you have any clue how much is $10 000 worth to any sub Sahara country where:
South Africa: Zar 166,069.00 (almost two and half year salary for one worker)
Angola: 6 367 300.00, Malawi: 7 516 833.00, Mozambique: 7 254 00.00, Nigerian Naira: 3 859 100.00
(What is the living standard in those countries now?)

10 pips = $10 = Nigerian Naira 3 859.10
How much can Nate do with that amount?
https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-livin...ountry=Nigeria

Edit: For fun
You would need around 137,846.35R (8,286.00$) in New York, NY to maintain the same standard of life that you can have with 42,000.00R in Cape Town (assuming you rent in both cities). This calculation uses our Cost of Living Plus Rent Index to compare cost of living. This assumes net earnings (after income tax). You can change the amount in this calculation.

Hey Tekkies

Seriously you are happy with the way you use the TDI? Wait another 3 more years - start Jan 2021 and we shall see if you can achieve your first 12 months consecutive winning months without any single losing month. Then try the next consecutive 24 months, then the next 36 consecutive months .... When you have achieved 36 consecutive months wins with your TDI Vline or any TDI version, then please post and show us the TDI is your Holy Grail, then you can claim ownership of this Trading Made Simple thread title and have full control of who can and cannot post here.

You do not have the TMS Monitor installed correctly to be in sync with your TMS Vline and that is why you will lose. You need to calibrate the monitor' P-Slope and C-Slope absolute values to match your TDI Vline calculations. No need to visual 12-2 and 4-6 clock face, that visual clock has caused many traders to lose money and they have given up long time ago. The is no way you can print Vlines using your TDI version and expect to make money with it. Stop fooling yourself.

I did not rip another of Big E post out you context.
You need to take into consideration the median income in USA and what is USD10,000 compare to that median income.
If you earn say USD50,000 per annum and want to trade retail spot forex and to make say 20% supplement to that USD50,000, do you think you can trade a USD500 account to generate USD20,000 per year with spot forex trading?

It is the same for you. What is your annual income and how much do you want to make trading retail spot forex to generate 20% per annum of your annual income?
With you last ZAR500 trading account, how much have you grown that account since Jan 2020?

Is trading a ZAR500 account and a ZAR5,000 the same?
