In 1 of your chart you use AH version, with a button you can switch on/off could you tell me which one or download? I know the BigE entry rule, but I like to check without the AH Thanks

{quote} .the htf are still bearish imo..just to clarify when I'm trading M15 my htf will be H4 and above and not H1 USDCAD LOL H4 was in an up continuation swing yesterday that continued into today. In fact, even H8 was in the same swing, so difficult to see how that these "higher TFs" can be considered bearish. D1, on the other hand, has not shown a bullish turn yet. But anyway, as I said before, change comes from the bottom and travels upward. So if the the up swings cannot get past H8, then of course D1 cannot move from bearish to bullish.

Hey Hasib, look at this chart again. Do you see that a winning trading method can be developed from what is shown? Ignore the orange MA because that was the one that you said to use. I will replace it with the IMT green/red line. By the way, those are regular price candlesticks. OK, a hint: You use the IMT line as a direction filter. Another hint: Use the TDI green, red, and yellow. {image}
Hey DrDave,

Today we are discussing about 123 RH setups, Look this chart can you see some 123 pattern. Forget about IMT for the moment. Just apply 123 setup for trend continuations.

If you committed to trading you will do back test this 123 setups, Let us know what is your back test results. I will compare my back test results with your one. I tested GJ H1 chart. you can do the same.

No problem. I was analyzing GBPCAD but typed USDCAD in error. So my analysis stands as written for upswing progressed through H8 for GBPCAD.

It is clear on this earlier post that I was looking at GBPCAD.

LOL, Hasib. If you actually paid attention to what I post, you would already understand that I incorporate 1-2-3 swings in IMT. That is quite basic. W. D. Gann and others spoke of it long before Ross.

No, I have no incentive to backtest that.
1. >90%
2. RR is over rated (and typically misapplied)- I don't use it.
3. That is an unclear metric. What kind of average? Per entry; per lot, per year, etc.

{quote} Hi Vincent, are you that dumb by think you can change what BigE has posted about TDI. No, of course he is not THAT dumb. He has proven to not be too smart about trading, especially the 5-method, but remember that his MAIN purpose is to attract followers. And his most successful methods are through misrepresenting what others post, posting trickery, scams, and outright lies that fool the newcomers.
Did you post this "outright lies"??

You know Dave, I have been look at Vincent's US30 profit that he so proudly post.
Vincent clearly posted: "$20K every 20-trading day cycle TDC."

It seems that whoever supplied the link in the summary that I found made a spelling error. Silly me, I simply did copy-paste of the link instead of verifying that it worked.
Maybe that author can get a free, 6-day trial of prucalopride from the researchers?

I don't expect him to post any kind of excuse. But I do expect him to make a disparaging post(s) that attacks you, if he bothers to post at all. If he does make a post, it will not address the issues that you have raised, but instead, it will divert the reader's attention from those issues.

Why are you jumping to yet another idea to check when you did not finish with the EMA50 high/low in this post?????? My post was following up on that topic, replacing your EMA50 with an IMT direction filter.

I don't trade with your broker Blackstone Futures. You can't make USD20k with your ZAR500 mini 100:1 account.

I trade with US brokers, like Big E mentioned all the time in both this thread and in his old thread.

We trade with based currency USD and Leverage 25:1.

and Big E' Post#7555 is what he traded with US broker FXDD since 2008 Post#1. He started trading standard lots in 2010.

Good Morning all you fabulous traders....

I started trading full lots last year... tiring of $1 a pip. Takes the same amount of work... why not get paid for it? Often shooting for $500-$1,000 PER EVENING.

iT'S NOT UNCOMMON TO FIND 3-6 TRADE SET UPS PER EVENING.

Sometimes I would set the TP to 20 pips. 3-6 pairs hitting 20 pips... a few losers maybe... made for a handsome profit.

If I put all of my eggs in one basket... it was hit or miss....

I trade both ways with success...

when you turn off the AH candle, you will be looking at either the price Bar Chart or Japanese candlestick.

I prefer Bar Chart in foreground and the HA candle in its background.

Example EurAud Week40 ... it is sell only follow Daily and Weekly Price Action

H4 follow the 'Flow' with stronger COMMOD pairs.

It is amusing at what Vincent will post to change Trading Made Simple. No matter how hard he tries by quoting from Craig Harris Stochastics Method and ONLY one post in this thread he won't change any of BigE's posts. Post#1..... The key to this method is the Traders Dynamic Index indicator for entries and exits. Post#2..... 1st Trading Chart... Note on the TDI showing your entry set ups... green crossing red enter on that new PA candle... Post#11...... I just glance at the TDI for set ups when the new candle opens... If I see a set up... green just...
@Tekkies

It is truly amazing that after more than 5 years and you still no idea what Big E' 5-Method is and have not learn what is his Trading Made Simple in Forex Factory is about.

Here, you need to re-start your trading journey all over again with this:

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..
