{quote} If i can add something that may help is to use the Reading aloud function it work fantastic ! Have a nice learning

that Big E Full pdf is not complete.

For completeness, better read all posts - starting from Post#1 to Post#12,912 in this thread and how he replied to members questions.

Some of his posts reply are based on questions asked and also charts posted by members. It is situational and you will learn what is his discretionary trading style.

It is not about green line crosses red line.

Just some of my observations made over the many years.

Everyone that comes here can obviously see the friction between some of the members. As a newbie, I have no interest in getting in the middle. At this point I am working off of what I read of BigE’s original posts. I find myself teetering between what is a sweet spot that is working quite well and the thirst for reading more and more. I have, so far, resisted the urge to delve deeper in an attempt to not fix something that isn’t broken. As mentioned earlier, I am pretty well versed in market structure and “reading” the crossovers of various indicators....

Hi Emmanuel ,
A few days ago , you suggested to someone to make a try with an expert advisor using the 5-method. I would like to make a test as the results shown are very impressive according to me.
Please be so kind to give me the exact name of this EA (is it TMS_V19 ?) , where I can find it , the parameters you suggest etc...
Thank you in advance for your kind answer.

hey @Tekkies

have your done the following?

#2617 May 16, 2011

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...

There is a handful who trade it correctly here who are rewarded nicely...

this post#2617 is consistent with other posts like these:

You can trade Big E' 5-Method without the TDI , he said so in these old posts.

quick and easy execution buy and sell buttons for single entry, double entries, and triple entries, targeting 100 pips a day.
have a quick look at this #46 post

what i did was i loaded the template #1 best 5 ma tdi,
followed by Synergy APB,
then the TDI_Red_Green Indicator.
with my newly build expert advisor, just in EA FORM.
manually executed using the buttons. you can close also the trades if you want by using close buttons.
so far all are functioning very well.
i will try to add ON/OFF button for the indicators : Asian_Session indicator for easy view in the chart if its in the 40 pips plus during tokyo, so that we can just simply turn it off in the chart.
once loaded all, you can do next is to save for the template , to have a template all in all just for easy loading all the indicators and the ea for buy and sell with buttons to every chart window pair.

i will share this to all, especailly this ea form expert advisor once completed. thanks.

hi @bodal

TMS_V19 is not an auto-trading robot that will make us rich.
TMS_V19 EA is an information EA and it was developed as a trading tool to help traders learn how the various technical setup conditions using the HA candles, 5EMA, Stoch and TDI, and it will trigger trade setup alerts.

No auto-trading robot will ever be consistently profitable without the trader doing the top down analysis and defining the Market Type to buy and sell.
If you know how to define the Market Type conditions then you can use any trade manager EA to manage your buy / sell trades.

No, I did not, have you managed to do this yourself: strip down everything on that chart / strip chart down to nothing?

Although he hasn't stripped down his chart to nothing, he discovered several years ago how to strip down his account balance to nothing, and has been doing that consistently.

I’m not sure if that can or can’t be linked. As stated, I am in that place where I have found what is working and don’t want to upset that balance. I will dive deeper at some point but not until I have full confidence in what I am applying at this time. What that boils down to is me not studying everything that is posted, out of that “fear”.

I do think coming into this as someone with experience(experience, not huge success) has helped a great deal. New traders will need to learn market structure and money management before anything can work for them. Perhaps a glimpse of those fundamentals is the reason for posting “other” charts.

Maybe showing a screen shot of the TMS chart along side the “others” would ease tension?

As you can see my account is already have 100:1 included. That "*10" is puzzle. Somewhere there must be a 25 in that formula

Edit: Found the reason for that "*10" my account is Mini (10K) not standard.
Now where does the leverage difference of 75 points come into play?
Anyway Dave, it does not matter really, readers will have to figure out themselves how is it possible for that both accounts has the same profit results.

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...

So what Vincent.
You have failed to explain how is it possible that a US based broker Leverage 25:1 Standard Lot and a ZAR account with Leverage 100:1 Mini-lot
has the same profit results by adding "*10" to the formula.
- Nice try by trying to divert the reader to a BigE copy/past post.

So easy to proof me wrong, link visible running live TE to that US30 account.

After all, based on the results you should be extremely proud to show all readers how it is done with your type of Price Action.

Sadly, too many readers see the smoke&mirrors of TheToxicFakeTrader without realizing what it is, and don't do enough fact checking to discover what the reality is. So, as we have seen in the past few weeks, they not only take the bait, but swallow hook, line, and sinker.

There is a lot of time and effort involved in reading the thread from post #1 plus, when folks see there are over 120,000 posts, of course most of them are going to jump far ahead to more recent material and get caught up in the flash, glitter, and smoke&mirrors.

Agree with you. Instead of posting their charts and reasons for Entry and Exit, too much useless debate here now. In my point of view, if you are making money, you are right. Please don't care about others' money. Improve your trading skill and profit as well, share your knowledge, help newbies. Those things which I have expected from experienced buddies.
