Trading Made Simple

Quoting 808
{quote} Thanks for the feedback! I probably should have elaborated more when I posted, but kept it too short and to the point. I have read all of Big E’s posts, and a few others, like SnarlyJack for example, and had noticed that they were actually primarily using PA, with the TDI as a visual “confirmation” for them. They DIDN’T need it, and I was only trying to make the point that a lot of inexperienced or new traders were mistaking the TDI as some magical and shiny gem that would solve all of their trading needs, but a lot of them were not well-learned...
Yes you are correct.

The TDI is a very helpful tool for traders to confirm their PA analysis. Plus it is a momentum indicator, so with informed decisions, after entry the price has high chance of moving into profit zone. By then you can manage your trade and being less stressful.

anyway, trade well
If you follow this thread, we have seen recently some trolls here demanding others to post live trades...

Those are typical demand of losing and failing traders looking for others to spoon-feed them. Desperate for trading signals on a public forum.


This is a Trading System thread. We are here to know about Big E's Trading Made Simple method.
Feel free to post your charts here to share and show how TMS plays out.

Traders can visit the Interactive Trading tab should they want to engage in live market discussion.

Adding crap EAs does not help improve your trading. Set and forget SLTP you can maximise your odds and profit with your analysis. Trust your analysis as a TMS trader

#1718
All this extra crap does nothing but confuse other traders and their success rate drops and they can't figure out why...

Everyone - Please stop adding anything... stick to the SIMPLE BASIC RULES.
That's what makes it work !

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

BTW, #307 for those #Laggards who has no understanding of how BigE used the 5ema in Trading Made Simple method

I don't worry about PA crossing the 5 ema. I totally depend on the TDI for my entry signals... Always entering when green crosses red and only on candle 1 or two depending what the TDI shows... otherwise I pass and look for another set up...

"TDI is a very good tool in BigE's Trading Made Simple method in confirmation for entries."
TDI does not confirm entry's.
- TDI ONLY indicate that a possible entry exist on that chart/time frame.
- The advice in Post#647 is to be used by trader to validate if such entry will result in a profitable trade.

Hi Tekkies thanks for your feedback.

however I still hold the thought of TDI plays a role in confirmation as of #123,872

although it does not affect its importance in TMS no matter how we call its role in the method

also something to think about..
#273
You always have to see what the PA is yelling at you and confirm with TDI, Stoch or both.

Why refer to a post in Craig Harris Stochastics Method?

Also something to think about:
- Is this the Harris's thread or Trading Made Simple thread?
----
After all bigE posted this:
Question > Post 3: what happened craigs stoc method didnt work?
Answer > Post 5: ...... Folks were getting confused by mixing up rules from different methods so this thread will only be about the 5 method.
(Are you mixing rules from different methods?)

TDI is an indicator, doing what a indicator must do:
- To indicate that a certain criteria/setup has formed on the chart.

Why use an indicator outside the scope for which its was code for?
What i do not see a lot of on here is the recommended times the OP said he trades

He said he looks for setups 2 hours before london open and also 2 hours after london open and then closes all trades 4 hours later

But i have never seen anyone mention this part of the strategy?

Because he was a disciplined trader that only trades the trading time zone that suits his strategy.
For example, my US30 strategy works in NY session.
XAU/USD strategy works in NY & Asian sessions better.
I avoid the rest,
But people just want more and more signals and often over-trade.

Yes for me that was the most important point he made, when some one sets their alarm for the middle of the night to close their trades it has to mean something

And yes you are correct about timetable and over trading i am one of the worst for that

Guilty as charged for South Africa working houers are the same as BigE's trading houers give or take a hour.
- We go to work with London Open.
- Two houers before going home, New York Open.
- Once at home after work. it is only a matter of closing open trades. (if you want to.)

LOL. @tommydogie is the slow late learner and still has not solved Big E's puzzle. Let's give him more time because he only started trading in Feb 2021.

#307 was Big E reply to member' BomBom post #303 and has 2 charts.

Big E' Post#303 has nothing to do with his EU Training chart Post#10,736

Now, study BomBom' #303 chart and see what the market condition was - trending or sideways?
Trading TMS 5-Method is easy when trending market, HA candles rising above its 5EMA
but see those areas when the market condition is choppy sideways, ... you get many 'head fakes' according to Big E' others posts.

LOL. @tommydogie
a rather late slow learner in solving Big E's puzzle.

below is Big E EU Training chart that Post#10,736

> note the H4 timeframe chart
> note the #261 chart template with Stoch(8,3,3)
> note the market time, Jul 2011
> not the time of the red vertical line, are they 10PM, 2AM and 6AM PDT?
> study the market conditions from the most left then move slowlyn towards the right of the chart,

>> pay attention to the price action
>> pay attention to the swing high and swing lows
>> pay attention to the Stoch(8,3,3) at every swing high and every swing low
>> do you see the CraigHarrisStoch' CHS True REVERSAL setup?

>>> how many of CHS true REVERSAL were confirmed with TDI condition,
>>> then pick the TDI, look at the RSI green price line slope (12-2 and 4-6) at the last reversal
>>> blending CHS and Synergy setups will give the better TMS setups. ... 5-Method confirmation setup.

*** that is a refreshed chart and that TDI#25 would have repainted. THis must be one consideration when you learn from training charts, they are hindsight trading.

Follow Big E post : You can trade his 5-Method without the TDI.

Leave the TDI on the chart but look at the PA above on the price chart.

years before that was between realjumper and I, he wanted FF Trade Explorer but he did not have any of hi own.
Then I have FXBlue and open to white list members for access.

Later, Jan 2020 realjumper started his thread Real time trades by realjumper!! { here }

did not last very long...

> Set and forget SL TP does not guarantee maximize odds. SL and TP depends on prevailing market conditions and volatility is a big factor.

It does no happen overnight and definitely not when you have less than 2 years trading in realtime live market environment. Paper training and demo trading is not real trading. In public forum like FF, there are many fake teachers and gurus. I agree with RJ why he asked for TE or post trades live when open. He knows how difficult its is to trade and make money.
