well as you might remember, we have been interchanging messages on blessing. now I have been trading with blessing for a while, with good results, but i trade high timeframes and i try to capture 20-25 per trade. considering that on the 10 pairs, i trade, that means max 6 cycles per week. I will not get rich in a month but i should be able to compound till a point to reach a passive income keeping the down side controlled around 10-55%, per pair.

yes it is a lot but I doubt that with blessing, in full auto, it is possible to get any better. So i am interested to explore either a manual or fully auto system to improve on that.

Hi Fabio

Yes, I recall our discussions on Blessing3.

But, I have to make it clear that in this Trading Made Simple thread, I do not use Blessing3 to trade in its original full auto-mode. I traded with Blessing3 for more than 10 years and I have been active in the jtatoday forum for that long number of years and get to know the development team well and they have helped me a lot.

When I mentioned Blessing3 in this forum, some members jumped to conclusion that I trade Blessing3 as a auto-trading robot. These members were all wrong.
I use the trade management features of Blessing3 as my trade manager.
Reason I for this is when the OP Big E mentioned that he was going to test trading the Daily chart, he said to use the TDI green cross red for entry and to exit when the green crosses the red again in the opposite direction. His Post #8703. Based on this and also his trades on Weekly chart, I develop a swing trading strategy using Daily and Weekly and incorporated the Blessing3 trade management into my system.
This is not full auto-trading robot, only the trade management after I initiate the trade direction and the first trade basket using Blessing FMC setting.

I will share more details later when there is more interest in swing trading with TMS 5-Method.

Meantime we can still trade TMS 5-Method H4 and H1.

Trade Well and Trade Safe.

Trends exist because of fundamental reasons. if we try to trade the trend we may lose 70% of the trade but 30% of the trade will make us recover the loss and help to generate a good amount of profit.

so just take 70% of the trend reversal trade and posting pictures will not give actual facts.
Developing a trend-based trading system is better than developing a reversal trading system.
it is also true we may right about the directions wrong about the trade.
gold H4 tf. The beginning of the week's up move was a pullback. that pullback helps experienced traders to sell at a good price.
No matter what system you and I use pullback is a pullback, TC is TC.
LM is LM.
if we add 5 indicators or 10 indicators it doesn't matter LM will destroy your account if you don't understand How to handle LM. switching tf to tf will not always help.

Let me ask you questions when you trading are you looking for a good trade setup or you look for focus tf.
if you say you will search for focus tf. I will say your a student of multiple timeframes, multiple time frame will confuse you, you will fail to execute your trade in good setup because of conflicting information in different tf.

Don't get me wrong using mtf is good but using too many tf is bad that is what I am saying here.

Through the mid-1980s technical analysis was considered only as chart interpretation. In the equities industry, that perception is still strong. Most traders begin as chartists, and many return to it or use it even while using other methods. William L. Jiler, a great trader and founder of Commodity Research Bureau, wrote:

One of the most significant and intriguing concepts derived from intensive chart studies by this writer is that of characterization or habit. Generally speaking, charts of the same commodity tend to have similar pattern sequences which may be different from those of another commodity. In other words, charts of one particular commodity may appear to have an identity or a character peculiar to that commodity. For example, cotton charts display many round tops and bottoms, and even a series of these constructions, which are seldom observed in soybeans and wheat. The examination of soybean charts over the years reveals that triangles are especially favored. Head and shoulders formations abound throughout the wheat charts. All commodities seem to favor certain behavior patterns.

I look at Weekly chart for the Market Type conditions.

It is those narrow ranged sideways Market Type that many swing traders will find difficulty with. When you do not see positive CashFlow in 10 to 20 trading days, that is when you know it is narrow range sideways. Get out and Wait.

Trading the Trending Weekly is easy but you first need to spot them early. You need to build up positions and Let Profits Run.

The Wide Range Sideways Market type that will make more money when you can Trade Both Ways TBW. Cut-Loss is also easy ... 2 weekly bars high or low, when you are wrong. CashFlow is good and you will see positive CashFlow every 10 to 20 trading days, 2~4 weeks.

Robots only target those that does not agree on how he sees the world. What good has he posted in this thread? a Couple of posts back he stated he is only posting "I'm here on this thread only to distract the misfits and offer support to @emmanuel7788 -- who is the real deal."
Rather a narrow viewpoint. The "misfits" has him on ignore and don't responded to his post's so who is he really distracting/harming: > those that do come here to gain some understanding about trading this method.

Emmanuel is not the real deal according to what BigE's has posted. Nowhere is there any mention of TDI green angle, stoch confirm, support/resistance level and the rest of BigE's post. "Swicth to H4 and D1" is not the only post's by BigE.

Come to think about it Jmn, Emmanuel post so many chart's you don't have to use MT4 trading platform, come to TMS with a cellphone, view charts and phone broker.



@Tekkies

Why does it matter so much to you what other members say about me and being the real deal?

What matters should be YOUR own trading and What the "void" left behind by Big E and When and What and How you fill that "void' with. End of the Day, are you making money consistently since you started in March 2016.

It is Feb27 2021 and New York Closed, it is 3 months since Dec05 2020. Look at your own trading for these 3 months. Have you completely filled that "void" which you think Big E left here when he died?

Tekkies Post#76,129 Feb 21, 2017

[quote=Tekkies;9576878]{quote} Hi marionetka ...

BigE have left a void behind that members need to full on their own. Emmanuel filled that void and did it very good. Somewhere along the way he lost track that he is dealing here mostly with members that do not know how to trade at all. Members that have learned from BigE and emmanuel have moved on and left this forum.

Most probable successful traders in own right. Those old members are replace by new members that do not know how to trade. Every couple of days / weeks the cycle repeat it self. So after many years the level of traders in this thread is still at the level of a new member. The subject / topic's that emmanuel is posting now is advance forex trading.

How long did it take you to understand all the point's in post#647. I did not even looked at ME/ME for that level of trading is above me and the little I know.
Do I enjoy those post fighting with emmanuel about keeping it BigE's way. No I do not.

Anway, yes let us discuss #647 in a way the members new to this thread can understand

Hey Folks

how many of you took H1 trades based on the TMS Monitor H1 alerts comparing Prev Slope and Curr Slope?

Out of the 5 highlighted, 3 winners and that is 60:40.

Use those trading tools which other members have developed and shared here over the years after Big E passed away. Use them wisely to make your trading life easier. The legacy of Big E lives on and our objectives are the same, we are here to trade his 5-Method and to make money.

{quote} Thank you Sir, Any views on GBPJPY , is it a right time to short !? or more confirmation required.

GBPJPY Week08 Feb26 New York Closed.

With NY Close and End-of-Month,

we update our Big Picture and do our Weekly Top Down Analysis.

W1 pull-back at the RN150.50 which is also a historical rice swing level going back to 2018.04.01.

We shall see what the impact next week would be going forward after Japan's Aso and Kuroda statements made mid-week.

Hi,
that is what I am looking for, a manual entry system and blessing as trade manager. I have tried several systems and also tried to develop my on strategy, but since right now trading is a side gig, it is difficult to be consistent. I prefer higher time-frames, at least in my experience are more consistent, but I am always willing to try and explore.

Hi Fabio

There are many traders here who are against average down, hedging and martingale .. here is s new thread with good sharing by experienced traders in this business.

"Opinions and Experiences with Hedging and Martingale" :
https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...and-martingale

The OP of this thread Trading Made Simple thread traded with high risk 15% to 30% of his $10,000 account an he would placed 2 to 4 standard lost per single entry trade. Would you do the same? risking all in one single entry when you trade say the Daily and Weekly charts?

I would rather trade smaller positions and slowly build up my positions in multiple baskets when I see the market go in my favour.

The original Blessing3 can only do average down and it has many features to limit the drawdown when the retracements go deeper than we foresee. But when the market turns back around, we also need to average up with new positions/baskets and locking in profits taking advantage of the volatility of the swings and trend. Blessing3 can only do half the job. This is where you want to develop an EA to manage both the Average Down and Average Up when trading the higher timeframes like the Daily and Weekly.

The "real deal" stuff will explain why 99% of TMS traders lose money and left this thread.
The TDI in Post#25 re-paints.

Therefore when we study old charts, all the TDI setups looks perfect.

we have to manage our loss professionally, we should be aggressive when market conditions are good and we should be less aggressive when market conditions are not that good. that is why I don't like the daily trading profit goals. I think we should have a daily trading losing amount once our loss limit hit we should stop trading for that day. according to market conditions, we should adjust ourselves. Sometimes we should take profit when our targeted rr hit. sometimes we should just target one swing some time we should trade multiple swings with multiple open trades. Before we develop our system we should understand what really we want from our system. To understand what system we should develop we have to read books and concepts, that concept will shape our thought. For example, if anyone inspires by Fibonacci they will most like trade reversal, and those who are inspired by some trend continuations legendary traders, they will trade trend continuations. Nothing is wrong just we have to know our game.
there are many ways to trade.
Reversal trading
breakout trading
fakeout trading.
we just have to find our game and play the game
Most traders fail because of no discipline!
