My Trading Journey with TMS Classic

Reasons why I create this thread

I want to share the reasons why I created this thread. I am a newbie here at FF and I am interested in TMS System which was created by Big E at this thread.

For several first pages of the thread, people came and posted charts, discussed about EPs, about the trading system...Big E and his friends guided others and shared their knowledge. I am sure that their comments & guidances at that time were very useful for people who wanted to learn and study this method.

But now, from my point of view, the thread is far away from the vision of Big E. I don't say it is good or bad. Just my opinion. And now I don't see people discuss about Charts, about EPs... with the classic rules which Big E guided from the beginning of the method.
I want to say again, I don't see this as good or bad. Just my opinion. So I want to create a thread for newbies like me who are interested in TMS Classic way which was inspired by Big E can learn and share their trading journey with this method.

I want to keep this thread very simple as the name TMS - Trading made Simple & Profitable as well.

I respect you all, the experts of TMS System, and want to learn from you all.

UPDATE 2022 - May - 17: TMS Double Time Frame Strategy

1. Time Frame
- D1 TF for Direction Bias
- H1 TF for Trade Entry
2. Trading Time: Open Trade only after Frankfurt Open/London Open (7 am GMT/ 8 am GMT)
3. Trading Pairs:
- xxxU Pairs: GU, EU, AU
- Uxxx Pairs: UCAD, UJ, UCHF
- xxxJ Pairs: EJ, AJ
- xxxA Pairs: EA
4. Entry Rule
- Wait to see Set-up Entry Candle on D1 TF. See Post 260
- Switch to H1 TF for Trade Entry. See Post 261

Big note: You should wait to see TDI Green Cross Red already (See Red/Green Arrow Appears) and wait to candle close before deciding to take a trade at the beginning of the next candle.

Have a look at Set-up Candle H1 TF (Color; Body Size; Upper & Lower wick; Close above/below EMA5; No # of candle after color changing) before taking a trade.

TL;DR: Trade on H1 TF Follow Trend Direction Defined on D1 TF

Hey Guys, I recommend you to study Phx62 works on TMS here. Very useful for you all

#2 for Indicators I use
I want to add here Indicators that I use in my MT4:
1. Synergy APB/HA candle
2. EMA 5 - Shifted 2
3. PVSRA Access Pannel - from PVSRA method by Traderathome
4. PVSRA Trade Level - from PVSRA method by Traderathome
5. Stoch - 8,3,3 - as per advised by Big E
6. TMSTDI Watchdog - Same as TDI Red Green Plus Slope

That's all

Time frame: I mainly trade on H4 TF. Sometimes H1 TF. I don't trade Lower TF (M5, M15, M30) anymore. This is my rule.

My trade visual is as attached. For all friends: If you have problems in setting indicators, please leave comments here.

GJ - Daily Short EP
I take this trade mainly in Daily TF on candle #2. TDI Green cross down as well. TDI Slope is great.
On H4 TF: Like a bounce trade.
GJ seems to be going pullback after a long bull run.

Refer to TMS Daily Method by @Britpip7 Thread:
1. The Setup candle (SUC) is yesterday candle:
- APB candle color change to RED. #1 Candle
- TDI cross down as well
- ATR (1) of SUC = 139 pips
ATR (7) of SUC = 108 pips
--> ATR (1) > 75% ATR (7) of SUC
- SUC is an Engulfing RED Candle --> Very good momentum
2. Entry Candle (EC) is Today Candle. Enter when PA breakdown SUC low
- SL should be set at 1.5 ATR (7) of SUC, but I have set SL slightly above the Recent Swing high
TP1 = 1.5 ATR (7) = 150-160 pips
TP2 Open

EU - H4 Short EP
I take this trade on H4 TF. APB Candle turns RED. #1 Candle.
TDI Crosses down, good TDI Slope (8,8). Note that Daily TF: TDI also crosses down.
PA candle is an Engulfing RED Candle = Good momentum. PA seems to break Fractal Down.
SL above EMA200 and recent Fractal UP, about 50 pips > 2 ATR (7) = 2 * 23 = 46 pips ==> Good level.

This is a Bounce EP. H4 also shows a similar opportunity to enter a trade.
Daily PA makes Higher Low, a signal of trend change. Want to see PA makes Lower Low to confirm down trend.

My Journey with TMS 5-method
I have decided to trade with TMS 5-method from this month Oct-21 and I have started to share my trading journey in this thread.
I have just linked my Trade Explorer with my trading account. Note that I start to trade with TMS 5-method from 19-Oct-21, so I have linked trade history from that date.

Follow the rules strictly.
Discipline.
No panic.
Share all EP and Exit as a way to self-study.

Welcome all friends in FF who are interested in TMS 5-method Classic to discuss in this topic.

- I have some opportunities to close 2 above trades with profit. But I have passed all. Note this mistake.
- Trade both xxxU & UJ at the same time is not a good idea.
