my effort with USD CHF Not using HA as Big E recommended as things are super volatile at present and have let some 50 pt wins stop out at BE where with normal chart could have sorted things better. Am still learning this method, there is a wealth of knowledge in this thread. {image}
"Am still learning this method, there is a wealth of knowledge in this thread."

Yes. There is indeed a wealth of knowledge in this thread shared by the OP during his time and also several older members when the OP was active in both his threads.
Learning from the OP Big E’ posts is a good start and will provide you a strong foundation to become a price action trader like him.

The older members who contributed trading tools:

Xaphod – most of his indicators for this thread Trading Made Simple. His TMS Osc Histo with alerts is a good tool to have when we are learning to trade.
https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...-simple-system

Arbinka – for his TMS Monitor v1.1 which is a great tool when we trade several pairs as a system trading strategy.
https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...68#post8753868

Plamendp for his @TMSTDIWatchDog with lot more information on the TDI#25 and HA candles, all in one single indicator
https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...30#post4669230

Seller9 – for his TMS_V19 MTF expert advisor which is the ‘swiss army knife’ for TMS.
https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...6#post12871196

Learning to trade and to trade Big E’ 5-Method has never been easier thanks to these few members.

I learn EVERYTHING and have spent my time trading and using these wonderful trading tools to help me when I am trading.
But what is most important is the basic price action trading skills which many have not learned nor mastered. When you have mastered these basic price action skills then taking trades would be a breeze like the OP said in his Post#2617. You will build more confidence through practice, practice, practice … and you will also achieve Trading Mastery in his 5-Method without the Stochastics and TDI or RSI/MAs

Enjoy the Learning Journey!

you want to stick to this thread which is about how to trade the TDI.


Too much time is being spent on TDI and Stochastics,
Too little time on Price Action and Support/Resistance.
And no time spend on Money Management, Risk Management for entries and exits, When to Cut-Losses short and How to Let Profits Run.
You need to find your WINNING EDGE and the TDI is not in the winning edge equation.

#148 old thread:
Good morning all...

Slept in today and got a late start!

For any of you who has checked out the Synergy System on Compassfx.com websight... You would know that Dean (a professional full time trader) uses two SMA's on his charts. A 5/High SMA and a 5/low SMA. He will take a trade only if one of the first three candles has closed above/below the lines. If it's not within the first three candles on a reversal... he passes on that trade. On his 15 minute chart he says an average trade moves 5-8 candles normally.

You could put those moving averages on your chart in a less noticeable color... maybe using dots. When you see a possible trade coming using craigs/Deans system... there would be two visual things to check out before entering.

1. Is Stochs and/or the TDI lined up...
2. How close are you to one of Craigs Big Numbers.

Remember the natural flow of the markets goes to: 00, 20, 50, 80, 00 lines. You can see it on your charts if you have used horizontal lines at those numbers.

If you enter a trade close to one of those lines you need to be aware of a possible head fake. Craig always shoots for 20+ pips per trade.

You might be more accurate by blending those two systems on your charts. Try it on your chart and take a look. It's your decision...

SnarlyJack... Thanks for the feedback. Big E

#149 :

Take a look at the Aqua Box...

We have a reversal. Under Craigs method he would have entered at the top of the 1st candle on candle #2. On candle #3 you see that the candle closed above the Synergy magenta dotted line for a confirmation. By blending both together and on a Big Number... your ready to enter.

Once you see the candles rise above or brlow the magents dots you have a trade with strong momentum.

Look at the other reversal areas for the same set up and pips in your pocket!

#169 blending and double entry confirmation

to pick the best setups, this is one of many ways.

Note in the chart below the box. You can see we have a double entry confirmation. On Craigs system we would enter on the second candle of the reversal and with Synergys System you have a confirmation after the candle closes above the upper magenta channel to go long. Click chart.

#202 old thread sounds like COWABUNGA ... confluence of systems/methods

Good Morning Everyone... Thanks for all of your posts and help.

This thread is about The Craig Harris Method really using the TDI as a helping indicator to guide us for entries & exits to completion.

For anyone who knows me... you know I'm always testing, tweeking, etc. to find improvements.

Well, the other day I added the Synergy channel on my 15 minute charts (5 SMA/Hi & 5 SMA/Lo) doing some more testing. What I discovered was by blending the two methods together... One is always confirmation for the other.

Sometimes the Synergy makes the entry call first and sometime Craigs makes the entry call first.

But I ALWAYS stick to the Tokyo Channel 40+ pip range if I'm using Craigs method. For day trading you might want to lean heavier on Synergy. You decide by studying charts back 1-3 months.

As stated above... it's a blending to give you the best chance for success.

Everyone do a little tweeking, brain storming and put in your 2 cents for the benefit of everyone.

2010 needs to be your best pippin' year ever... lets make it happen.

Big E

the final piece #3403

FX-Trader...

Basically since post 3018 we have talked about the 5 method which has the rules and many charts have been posted showing what to look for to insure positive trades.

Several of the members have taken parts from the 4-5 methods we have started since the beginning and included them into a new method now.

You Asked:

Big E, forgive me for asking I am getting a little confused with all the different methods being discussed... thus the reason I was blending them. Is the 5 method the 5 SMA H/L method or is that just reserved for the Synergy.

Would it be possible to recap the different methods being discussed, if your up to it?

There is too much information to do a quick re-cap... sorry. All the info is in this thread.

Now I just trade the 5 method with the rules being in post 3018 to present... Study the posted charts.

{quote} I was just giving you friendly advice on how poor your risk management is. If you trade like BigE in Trading Made Simple, it is impossible to have such huge Drawdown yet to say blowing up account in a month. {image}{image}
Poor ol' Vincent immediately goes into a meltdown whenever you show the SIMPLE in Trading Made Simple using BigE's discussions about his 5-method. The poor guy has a proven record of failure-after-failure with account meltdowns followed by adding something new (like more EAs) to his trade menagerie or reading yet another trading book by a "recognized guru" in hopes that NOW he will be able to turn around his abysmal record. Despite seeing how this approach of ADDING more-and-more has failed to reap improvements, he continues with the same behavior. Even after seeing evidence that simply going back to Trading 101 basics and the 5-method information is exactly what he seeks, his narcissistic ego simply cannot accept the situation and off he goes in yet another tantrum.

And sadly, many noobs take a look at a few of his screen shots and regurgitated information and decide that he has the answers that they seek. It's just a matter of time before they discover just how much nonsense Vincent dumps on Forex Factory and they move on. There are a few suckers that he has hooked this year already--how long before they too wriggle off the hook and swim away to purer waters?

hey @DrDick

no surprise here to see you post in TMS thread.
It is the usual losing week again with your failed system TDA with IMT.
Do not be discouraged though because we all know this very well that "95% of trader lose money".

As we all expected it is end of week 10 and @Davey-boy lost money trading again and you come here to let out steam.

Its okay to lose money trading retail spot forex... but when you have mental illness, you already lost your mind because of your failed thread and that is a lot worst.

"90% of traders lose money! True or False?"
https://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=39527

You go to the forum Rookie Talk and you will read many members talk about why traders lose money.

This thread is just one or many -

Why 99% of traders lose money { here }

and Hanover { here }

Remember Big E' Post #296 it will take you your lifetime to learn to trade and make money.


Have a good one.

hey @Tekkies

let's learn from our losing trades too and this should help you stop your SELF SABOTAGE.

1) Learn Price Action basics and learn to identify the market type conditions. Use the first key { here }

2) Like Big E said in his Post#281, make the transition to trade the 4hr and also the Daily, which also means follow the 4hr and Daily market type conditions.

3) Do Not trade when price in in or near a CONSOLIDATION Post#647

here below my comments on your that 1 of 379 GU sell trade which destroyed your big ego against the market.

basic Price Action is SIMPLE but you must first know what PA is.
