@Tekkies

How many years does it take one to learn and master Big E' 5-Method?

Big E had said long time ago ... you can trade his 5-Method without the TDI.

You need to learn his 5-Method and master trading with his 5-Method and build confidence.

I stopped using Dean Malone' Traders Dynamic Index in 2018 and my trading performance has improved.

Dean Malone has not been trading his TDI for many years even when he was still running his trading room. His Synergy system is dead!

Honestly on the 5 method you don't really need any indicators because the simple entry rules are so basic and clear cut. If I were to pick two it would be the tdi & stochs.

Jan 26, 2011
#3103
I almost always have the tdi & stoch on all my charts regardless of the method being used.

However, it's not necessary on the 5 method for me. It gives people more confidence when they have it on their charts it seems.... and it's a good confirmation to the current PA and possible trade.


Feb 12, 2011
#3418
You can trade the 5 method without the TDI if it's a problem...

PA is HA Candles, PA crosses the yellow line and closes... enter on the next candle if it's the same color. When candles flatten out... exit. Stay in the trade as long as it doesn't cross back over the yellow line and close.

The TDI just gives me a lot more information for making my entries & exits decisions.

2scoops asked me a long time ago what would be the most beneficial to learning this method for higher success... The answer was simple... study old charts for set ups... now strip down everything on that chart at that point... trends, angles, S/R levels, News times, Stoch angle within the 20-80 lines..etc. Burn it into your memory... I spent 2 years doing that.... so what does that mean?

It takes me 15 seconds to strip a chart down to nothing including the TDI & Stoch's. Taking clean trades is a breeze for me... why?

Read above...

I can take you to water but I can't make you drink... follow the simple entry & exit rules. Forget other indicators. I went down those roads so you wouldn't have too...

Gud day guys, Big E said that he trade at night in his location, he said he usually trade on 4H @ 10 PM at his location, he said also Pacific, what is the equivalent time of Big E's 10 PM on EST? thanks again
@Vin3

world time clock is a simple solution.

Do you have a mobile? Just go to the Clock and then World Clock and set these cities

> your local time Manila/Hong Kong / Singapore local 1pm

>> New York EST 1AM

>>> Las Vegas PDT 10pm is Oregon Big E 10PM...

so when you trade the 4hr, you trade your local time 1pm , 5pm, 9pm and .....

then when the next DST for Europe and the US, you make the necessary adjustment.

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 click >>> 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..

hey @tommydog

where is your chart showing you exited your GU Buy on Sep28 ?

go to these recent posts link below:
#125,528 How to show trades from your MT4 Teminal Account History on your chart.

two other tools:
#125,530 Improved OrderHistory mq4 script to display trade history on charts

#125,531 Trade Levels on charts

You are fake trader posting fake trades. I post my trades here live and all you can do is wait for the first trade failure and make insults and obnoxious comments.

Are the above your live trades since Sep 29 till Oct 15? Take a screen shot when you have open trades and then take screen shot when you close the trades, then post them later and show us your real trades entries and exits.

Let us see you are the substance your are made of as a trader.
It is so easy to copy-and-paste Big E post and teach TMS here.

You are still the same fake trader half a year ago. Today we all know you are a fake trader posting mark up charts with fake trades.

Start with your post#123,788. Do you have IG MT4 account history to show us ?
Or you can drag and drop that trade from your MT4 account History onto your chart and post again.

Thanks for the laughs.

How many years does it take one to learn and master Big E' 5-Method?

It varies depending on the abilities of the person trying to learn it. Folks like you with a lot of limitations can take 10 YEARS just to achieve the BEGINNER'S 65% success, and then get stuck there--or even regress to worse success--mainly from perverting the 5-method from what BigE presented. Others, like tommydoginti, that are quick to grasp things do it in a few months, even EXCEEDING the beginner's rate in less than 1 year.

Or, the astute reader sees that those are not part of the 5-method, realizes that you are ADDING more things, exactly what BigE said not to do because it leads to undesirable results, and just ignore your off-topic posts.
