I do not like to keep trades over the weekend but in this case the htf sway my thinking. I therefore set my stop at b/e (which I normally remove before the changeover) and my target set lower. If there is a gap up on opening then I will be out, I guess..let's see {image}

Right decision to hold one last position locked with SL. I see the H4, Daily and Weekly are in 'agreement' with your decision.

The gap can be anything from 5 pips to 28 pips like last week' Friday 17 NYC and Sunday 19 NYO.

I see nest week is a good opportunity to do Swing Trading with that Weekly WCC still in 'control'.

hi Tabary

there quite many confusion in this thread.

most people will quote Post#6 and say you only enter a trade setup with Candle#1 and #2, and do not enter on Candle#3.

but then in his Post#351, Big E said you can enter a trade on Candle#3.

now you study all his charts, and see if you can learn some of his secrets.

his 19 templates is one of his many secrets. how many of his 19 templates have you studied?

yet another confusion many new traders in this thread still have not learned.

first, Post#6 say use TDI for exit

then Post#7612 you do not use TDI for exit and can stay in the trade for longer time ....


>>> study that chart Post#7612, observe the price action and previous price action PPA to the left and the BRN levels. what do you see?

>>> study that chart on Post#7612, what if you have the full TDI with the yellow MBL and blue VB, you will see better why stay in the trade and no use the TDI green for exit.

Vincent will post anything as long he can post something which is garbage when factchecked against all of BigE's posts.

There is no pieces of the puzzle missing, in fact there is no puzzle at all. BigE did not hide anything, he posted like all of us that speak/write/think in normal plain English. So it is understandable BigE would refer to candle sizes as big/small/long/short.

hey @Tekkies

to end your 2018 to 2021 TE 'blood shed' follow these links, basically a 'cold re-boot' of your system.

Welcome to Trading Made Simple ... by Eric Franz aka Big E.

To get started quickly, here is a summary Introduction to Trading Made Simple 5-Method below.
I can give your children free coaching and I can pass on my knowledge and trading skills I have gained over the last 10 years in this thread. They will have a bright future ahead and can trade alongside with you. You and your family will grow wealth together.

Introduction to Trading Made Simple

To learn what Trading Made Simple is, you have to follow the trading journey of the OP eelfranz aka Big E. He started as a newbie in 2008. Know the history and you will learn a lot from the OP and when you have mastered the 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 rule-based discretionary are the best traders,

Enjoy and Have fun during your learning journey...

Tabary, unless you have a lot of time on your hands that you feel like wasting in reading, then after post#12912, jump ahead to January, 2020. The material in that span is at least 90% garbage that has nothing to do with trading BigE's 5-method.

Post 125,511..... Welcome to Trading Made Simple ... by Vincent aka Mirrors with smoke.
There is little to nothing in that post.

In fact it has a major error:
> Always check the #1- Price Action first, then #2- TDI Post#3142
Above revere to a other method and thread and does not apply to this method in this thread.

In this thread the following was posted:
#1..... The key to this method is the Traders Dynamic Index indicator for entries and exits.
#2...... Note on the TDI showing your entry set ups... green crossing red enter on that new PA candle...
> TDI is motioned before PA
#6..... We Enter a trade when green crosses red on the TDI at the beginning of that candle.
#6..... Important to study TDI entries on old charts, any time frame...
> Use TDI entries to study PA, not PA to study TDI entries
#11... I just glance at the TDI for set ups when the new candle opens...)
> TDI indicate a possible set up, PA confirm that set-up (Post#647)
#270...When I check my charts... I look to the TDI... then PA.
#307...I don't worry about PA crossing the 5 ema. I totally depend on the TDI for my entry signals...
(there are more)

All of BigE's posts in this thread how to use TDI > 188 times, PA > 50 times
Those 50 time wore not even Price Action
#2.... new PA candle
#309.... When you enter a trade using the TDI.. watch PA as it arches back and forth
> Most of the posts, BigE use PA for candles, other posts as Price Action

Rather go with Post 125,344 which is focused on BigE's postes before using Post 125,511 that refer to other threads and how members understand TDI.

EURCAD
According to the TFs below H1, I expect to see cycling up and down, with initially an upward bias as M15 is due to rally (if M5 can confirm going into an uptrend). So, how far up the TFs the rally can reach we can only observe, not predict. If the rally reaches H1 (or H2), there is a resistance zone 1.4860 -1.4875. If the rally is weak, and the sellers come back aggressively, there could be further drop to support around 1.4780.

your team member Takkies, Mossi, Dave, can you show trading result like wags, without photoshop.

I have the confidence and I have the skills to show trading results. You and your team members afraid to post their trade here.
I have post my trade here every week, regard less of good or bad entry. I have opened many bad trade and make money and I have opened many good trade and lose money. I have got nothing to fear like you and your team members.

Every one in this thread knows takkies has 75% win rate yet he lost 80% of his account with in 45 days.

Talking with you and your team members is just waste of time. Feel free to criticize me. I don't care about that.
Dave you have open additional ff id like Iven and other id all are detected by FF admin and FF admin suspended.
Dave you call your self goat, you claim your self many other thinks in the past. I never claim anything like that. Those who knows your history they never support you. You create new argument again and again here. You claim your self a doctor, I think you spend your 8 hours here in ff in TMS to team up and attack emm.
when you do your real work, Only god knows.
Your the man who join my discord group and ask question like newbies. I have ban you from there. I have closed my Discord group because I don't want to work with negative people.
Now I am with few experienced trader community, You have no idea how much good trader they are. they make every day nice return, I never see they claim them self goat or some ting like that. I.M.O your just BS TRADER and BS Doctor.

{quote} I LIKE I did not know you trade Big E' TMS. I know you have your own thread Naked Chart Trading and many technical analysis charts posted there. This is your trading results versus those daily verbal diarrhea in this Big E' Trading Made Simple thread. Good trading results for two weeks trading 22 currency pairs. Do you use Big E' 5-Method price action with your naked chart trading ? Which particular timeframe(s) were those trades done? How do you manage...

Thanks

Do you use Big E' 5-Method price action with your naked chart trading ?

No i use my own PA analysis, i do not like getting caught in the middle of range, which Big E does a lot of the time from what i have read and seen

Also i only enter when volatility is high so i can get the most from my entries, i am not talking about intra day volatilty

Which particular timeframe(s) were those trades done?

The bigger losses were on H4 timeframe but also were the bigger gains, but only a few setups were available, i banked profits to early on these as well like chfjpy where i took profit halfway through the move instead of letting it run and moving my SL

When there was no H4 setups left i dropped to 5m entries for 20-30 pip moves based on the Big E method of H4 entries, times of day and volatility

How do you manage trading so many pairs? Do you use trade manager expert advisor?

No all manual trading but i have an indi which lets me scroll through all pairs on one chart with keyboard keys, also i can have many TF's on this one chart and it scrolls through all at once, TF's and Pairs

Maybe you will learn something from them, then, because so far, your track record for trading is firmly in the trash bin. Actually, I doubt that you will make much improvement based on your past erratic behavior and inability to follow a set of rules as well as inability to stick with any system long enough to own it.
