TMS being the 5-Method is a technical trading methodology therefore you need to add your own Money Management and make it your own system. Your trading psychology is another subject matter not talked about much.

Big E was a rule-based discretionary trader. According to studies by Dr Van K Tharp this rule-based discretionary are the best traders,

{quote} LOL. you newbie acting like a guru again. I am sure you very confused with many things you do not know yet. But that normal because you are still young and ignorant and naive to forex trading. I am sure your dad age 62 today knows a lot about trading since he is trading HSI for his retirement expenses. Go home and listen to him and I am sure he can teach you a few things about trading and also some basic life skills to be humble and know when to keep your mouth shut and listen better. 1. The RSI (13,0,2,7) is the TDI RSI fast and slow. Don’t...

You are repeating yourself. I have already posted my answers. If you have any questions, feel free to ask politely.

I am okay with you trading your way. I stepped in and made a lot of effort from here to Fair Economy Inc. to stop all bickering and irrelevant trading systems here.

We know that you are not trading BigE’s way. I have no issue with that because I am not following your posts. But it is critical not to make up yourself “trading like BigE”. You also complained about the repainting TDI which the root cause is coding issue, and BigE’s routine is different from EA that monitors the TDI continuously.

I merely point out what can be improved in your trading. There is no need to spread hate and jealousy simply because you cannot trade.

your followers should be missing your trade sharing. I do enjoy seeing your single entry trades a few weeks ago (SL to BE is not how BigE traded, he exited on pullbacks and re-entered) That is a good demonstration of 5-method entry. Multiple entries is for 21/233.

It started with you complaining about TDi repaint. We both have found solutions to overcome that by either using BigE’s chart checking habit (refreshing), or a non-repainting version. The discussion is completed.
let’s focus on trading again. Thanks and good luck

An old post for Big E' old thread:

https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...04#post4517204

Hey Guys,

I've shared the Conserative rules for the 5 ema method as well as my personal more aggressive rules. The previous training charts show the more aggressive trading.

I don't pay much attention to news when trading the 4 hr or Daily charts. On the 5 & 15m charts it can kill you however.

If I've got a strong set up on the TDI when close to the 32 or 68 lines... I'll take the trade and scalp the 4hr for 20-40 pips while monitoring the trade... I've seen it go 80-100 pips sometimes...

On the more aggressive style... I like to just trade the chart I'm on rather than dropping one timeframe for entries which is more conserative.

Remember... 80+% of the time HA Candles move 3-8 candles per swing (depending on the time of day and which session). If I'm entering on candle 1 or 2 I'm expecting some pips to fall... you should too. If you don't like HA Candles then trades the Japaneese candles. They will screw up your emotions and decisions though... Your the man/woman, it's your money... do what you want. When the bleeding stops you can come back to the HA group.... honest.


I keep telling you that the market is there for the taking. Make your daily withdrawl... don't be afraid. When your afraid you make more mistakes and bad decisions... Just slap the crap out of it and fill your wheel-barrow up with pips...


Good luck to those trading M15 and H1.

Oops! wrong currency pair. According the the purist of "original BigE's way" I cannot be trading EurAud.

Big E only traded 8 pairs according to his Post#63

I'd say pick the charts you like to trade and understand their movements... breathing patterns...

I always like to have the E/U, G/U and A/U side by side on top plus one more chart. Those three charts tend to move together in the same direction. So if I see a set up on one I usually find a set up on one or both on the other pairs. I've made a lot of pips trading all three at the same time.

I usually include 2-3 Japaneese charts... a Usd/Cad chart. Always end up with 8 charts on one page.

Dean trades these on top...e/u, g/u e/j, a/u left to right and these below... left to right... u/chf, u/j, g/j , u/cad. Setting them up that way generally means the top chart is moving in one direction and the one directly below moves in the opposite direction...


EA Apr29 H1 at Frankfurt Open

- DBHLC PA setup

- TDI green price line slope 5.6 but no cross of the red.

Obvious is no.

read and study #6 and #647. Look for sentences that describes when BigE would enter a trade.

I think that is the main reason why your trades are often in drawdown after entering. In short: too late and later than how BigE would enter. That is also why previously I looked at your posts and picked the other direction to trade.

In my chart on TV and MT4 there was no EURAUD crosses
I suspect your EA is like what I worried, the TDI of previous candle is wrong, and by calculation of wrong value, that is always skewed towards new candle OHLC, causing false crosses.

HOWEVER, there is another possibility, which is my broker time is different from yours that I know of, so the exact OHLC of candles are slightly different at H4, but not H1 and lower.
Also I would look for buy setups at a levels of precocious highs and lows like BigE did

You are a GENIUS to survive with crooked tools. But we are here to help new traders. So I would advise you to stick to the basic tools BigE used. Ditch the dashboard or save it for yourself only as it will mislead others and causing them to lose money should they follow you

Trade well

Yellow cross is roughly the time you checked. Hope you did not trade.

hey @tommydogie aka @TMS GURU

LOL. You little guru.

Of course every trade entry will start off in drawdown. You must be the TMS expert with precise entry without zero spread.

This thread is not about TDI cross. If you still think this thread is about TDI cross then you are also one who is too stupid to be posting in this thread.

Hi folks,

did BigE’s trades always went into drawdown?

Read old posts and look at BigE’s charts. Real trades and training charts doesn’t matter.

Emmanual, I am trying to help you here and also avoid fellow traders being misled. Your crooked tools must have costed you a lot. Imagine if you traded the right way, you must have been a much more profitable trader.

I didn’t make up any contents of my last post. It was the market telling where price went and BigE’s words. We are here to help, not hate

What I mean “drawdown” is price goes against you often. Just pick any of BigE’s chart which he claimed he traded and compare with yours, I believe you can learn much faster. Trade away from levels and start looking at 1.555 or below
*Edit. swing up from 1.5545.

I am praising you as a GENIUS because I don’t think I can trade as well as you if I had those crooked tools. So please stop calling names and spreading hate.

hey @tommydogie

you are still a newbie with only 10 months forex trading experience. You can't help anyone here in FF.

Of course Big E trades has drawdown upon entry. You must be blind when you study his real live trade charts. Forget about all the training charts, they are all hindsight charts with no real entry and exit.

You are living in a dream world of your own thinking of perfect entry without drawdown. This is newbie thinking and belief.

You want to help me, first show me your first 1,000 completed trades then only I would consider again.

You are worried about people being misled, do the same and show them your first 1,000 completed trades.

Those tools are the work and contributions from other FF members and traders during Big E time. Stop insulting them.
When you have not even used those tools how did you jump to such conclusion those are crooked tools. You do not have the knowledge and experience to make such derogatory comment on the contributions of other members in FF.

Yes, your are right that I am profitable. And it is because using those tools help me save a lot of time staring at charts and timeframes. With the time saved, I focus only on selected type of trade setups and high probability trade setups only.

Do I need to be more profitable? No. I meet my trading cycles target that is all I need. I am not greedy.

Good luck to you @tommydogie. You need luck when your trading skills is still far lacking.

hey Tekkies

welcome back posting.

you have been very quiet. we all know why. so there is no need for me to answer 4) ... now. Tomorrow is month end.

1) this thread is not just about trading TDI cross. It requires years of market knowledge and experience, like the OP he had 15 years trading the stock market and forex market. Also requires Money Management strategy and Mental Strategy to be a consistent successful profitable trader. To be consistent, you need to be a DISCIPLINED trader.

2) Big E's Post#647 made that very clear that you need to go back to babypips.com to learn what he considered to be forex basics.

Post#647 below:

Your safest trades will always be when green crosses red and you enter on candle 1 or 2... odds are in your favor. Why? Because I'm expecting 3-8 candles... which is average...

With bounce trades the odds are lower for your success... but it still works.

When wanting to enter a TDI trade... take a moment first to observe basic 4x things... like:

How close am I to the previous high or lo

Am I in an uptrend or downtrend.. short & long term...

Am I in or close to a consolidation area

Are the previous candles small...

Look at the candles on the last reversal... big, little, what

How does the momentum look right now (12-2, 4-6)

Does Stoch's confirm the TDI signal

Sounds like a lot of stuff but it's basic stuff and only takes a moment to observe it...

If you don't already know these things... don't trade live yet... www.babypips.com is a good place to learn about the basics of trading 4X.
