Trading Made Simple

OK I think I may get it now, Emmanuel might be bipolar!

"People with bipolar disorder experience intense emotional states that typically occur during distinct periods of days to weeks, called mood episodes"

Maybe he really wants to become profitable with TMS but can't so keeps on hanging around here and bashing it and talking about how other stuff is better so he keeps getting these "episodes".

Thoughts?

Hello everyone, I just came to this forum. I want to learn from you and join your chat. From which floor should I start to read how to use the system? Thanks!
Hello Hua

This should help you get started with this thread. The rest depends on your own hardwork and the number of years of trading experience.

Introduction to Trading Made Simple aka TMS

To learn what Trading Made Simple is, you have to follow the trading journey of the OP eelfranz aka Big E. He started in FF as a newbie in 2008.
Know the TMS history and you will learn a lot from the OP and when you have mastered his 5-Method, you can then move on and develop your own trading system following how he did his. Many traders have moved on to trade their own systems.

Trading Made Simple for beginners : Post#52,707

A short history by pioneer member snarlyjack Post#110

Our late OP eelfranz aka Big E spent 6,000 hours: Post#6 and he evolved as a trader and went on and developed two trading methods.
5-Method and 21/233 Method Post#3018, Post#4104,

After months of postings and answering many frequently asked questions FAQs,
eelfranz made the jump to this new Trading Made Simple thread on 26 April 2011... Post#4432

In Post#1, he explained how he traded the H4 chart timeframe and he also traded the H1 chart during the NY session. This suited his lifestyle being retired and the time zone he lived. Sadly he passed away in Oct 2012.

Two very important posts: Post#261 and Post#647, give a simple summary of what this 5-Method is and the basic forex stuff we check before we look for the TDI setups to trade.

TMS 5-Method Basic Rules: Post#53,841
Always check the #1- Price Action first, then #2- TDI Post#3142
Big E wanted us to build this TMS thread together... Post#4,432

The original indicators and template Post#25
When you are overwhelmed (information overload) by the number of posts and the loads of information and variations shared by other traders here, the best thing to do is to stop reading and go back to the basics what Big E mentioned in his 463 posts in this thread and 861 posts in the CHS thread. First you learn and master the 5-Method first before you start add your own tweaks and make a new system.

Recommendations:
Read all of Big E posts... 861posts in the Craig Harris Stochastics thread and 463 posts in this TMS thread....and make notes on those training charts he posted. Pay attention whenever he mentioned PA and what you see on his training charts.

Learn the basic stuff about forex trading first. A good place to start is www.babypips.com/school

If you want to trade the way Big E described in Post#1, make sure you use his template , the Synergy APB / HA candles and use that TDI Red Green version. These are in Post#25.

Important to Note that the TDI Red Green version repaints all the bars in history so you cannot use this when you do back-testing by scrolling back your charts. The better way is to run this in live market and trade the TMS setups based on what you see without refreshing your charts. When you want to trade with entries on the APB#1 and APB#2 candles, always wait for the price bar/candle to close and use the TDI to confirm the setup.

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

Enjoy and Have fun during your learning journey...

how many percent of TMS traders lose money?

Big E mentioned many times - "use your brain".

You go to the forum Rookie Talk and you will read many members talk about why traders lose money.

This thread is just one or many -

Hi P

How you manage stop loss, I see there is no stop in gold recent trade. if you use small stop you would stop out in gold.

Here is GJ trade, Before FOMC I open this 2 trade, I did not change my stop, I keep as it is.

I think we should discuss about stop loss here.

EMM probably use large stop.

"What makes you say that?"

why do I say that?

well you are in the 99% and you are not happy.

Do you know why you are in the 99%?

read these :
Why 99% of traders lose money { here }

and Hanover { here }

If you follow Big E' 5-Method, you will one day be able to trade and make $500 to $1000 per evening. It can be done.

But if your want to make more money then I will show you how to make 3 times per day.

hey Tekkies

I know why you are not happy too.

I promote Big E' 5-Method and the TDI is just one of the learning wheels. People have to take off their learning wheels and enjoy making money.

Big E you can trade without the TDI

Too much time is being spent on TDI and Stochastics,

Too little time on Price Action and Support/Resistance.

And no time spend on Money Management, Risk Management for entries and exits, When to Cut-Losses short and How to Let Profits Run.

You need to find your WINNING EDGE and the TDI is not in the winning edge equation.
