Well said.

FF is a forum where everyone should treat each other as professional traders. It is FF's mission.

I tend to believe others' posts are real.

The problem here is many losing traders linger here and refuse to accept their failure.

If Emmanuel is posting his true results
-80% in a year and needing 500% to recover is a fact
+57% in the following year could not recover 500%

This trading is outright bad.

Yes! FF is a trading forum where traders must be honest too and posting in a dead OP thread.

You are not professional neither honest when you post fake trades in this thread. We have seen others here done the same dishonest acts posting fake trades on old MT4 charts.

You want to bicker using old screenshot to slander and malice another member here.

Hi Emmanuel

I don't see you are honest....

Anyway, I still respect you as a trader even your trading is bad.

I am trading live with TMS for over a year now. I like to share my process but not every single trades. So I chose not to show all the trades on the charts, but I solely trade on phone and rare use desktop MT4

I think this is in your mind. @FakeTMSTrader.

Or from your own word, @FakeTradingGuru


But of course I tend to believe you are trading live.

Good luck, I believe your +50% yearly performance since 2017 would have brought you back to break even now, 5 years later

You have been exposed as the current @FakeTMSTrader by me here. You don;t trade TMS the way like the OP. You only make false claims here.

Making lame excuses about trading on your phone. But that account is MT4 broker and you can post MT4 chart right?

Now, go home and talk to your 63 years old father and ask him about KEDGE account trading and learn something from him. If he does not know what is KEDGE account trading, then he is not the investor type trader. He maybe then gambling with his retirement savings.

Hi Ryu,

I think the improvement should come after achieving BigE's level. Further improvements should be a better performance or a more streamlined execution.

I picked simplification and streamline.

1) Literally follow #647 and use Price Action analysis. Only then set the appropriate TDI cross signals. The improvement is reduced time for checking the market, reduced trades (save time) and maintaining profitability.

#128,665

Click to Enlarge Name: screenshot.png Size: 56 KB

2) Further consolidate BigE's TMS rules and distil the essential elements. As you said, more than 1 oscillators are not helpful. BigE also mentioned in #2617, you can trade without TDI, but TDI is heart of TMS as its green cross red are timely and align with PA analysis.


To track performance, I focus on 1)expectancy and 2)risk control (drawdown %).

* Side note: I also think your mathematical (statistical) approach to trading is good. As TMS focuses on high accuracy, only trading high probability setups can help getting to what BigE could do.

Trade well.

It is important to track trading performance. I focused on simplification. So my objective is to maintain performance while making it easier to execute.

The Price Action of TMS is already very solid,
TDI crosses is already a very effective trade signal
So traders can focus on risk minimization and/or time saving operation.

It turns out pretty easy to work with PC/Phones on TradingView to set it up. The concept is simple and it's what I am willing to share.

An illustration.

Price level is pre-determined as of #647. Previous Highs and Lows

Attached Image (click to enlarge)
Click to Enlarge Name: screenshot.png Size: 550 KB

It can be a custom alert on TV, code it to activate TDI cross signals if price retest certain level.

Or simply set the price level alert, After it goes off, set the TDI cross alert in direction of the bias (Up/Down)
This adds flexibility as you can switch to your preferred TF to wait for TDI crosses.

It is clear to those that have read all of the posts in this thread that Vincent could not figure out how to trade BigE's 5-method profitably, even after having a go at it via the H4 TF. So, he added indicators, EAs, pieces from other system, tried averaging down, multiple entries-multiple exits, basket trading, to name just a few. And where did that land him? Cannot even get past the BEGINNER'S 65% success rate after at least 10 years of trying! Not a surprise, really, because BigE said do not add anything to his 5-method, because it will be to your detriment.

On top of that, he claims over and over that he trades the 5-method!! LOL. ANYONE that grasps the essence of the 5-method knows that BigE never mentioned doing all of the losing tactics that Vincent incorporates such as basket trading, averaging down, using kedge accounts, or holding onto losing trades, hoping that they would turn back before hitting the stop loss for a huge account drawdown.

The poor guy is now in such a dire monetary condition that he posted that he can afford a decent breakfast only every other day! Probably heads for the soup kitchen for the rest of his meals.

@Tekkies

your Dec 2021 month killer was that same mistake with your AUDUSD buy trade against Big E TMS 5-Method basic trading rules.

AUDUSD Dec17 buy was a wrong.

see my comments below:
you need to focus more on the price action then check the TDI for more information.
According to Big E, the TDI provided a lot more information about the market conditions.
In this AU trade example, when the price action show increase in volatility, the TDI Volatility Band VB will respond with widening VB... its lagging the price action by 34 bars. Nothing wrong here with lagging, because price action is leading indicator.

Do Not hold your 4H trade for too many days. Big E would close his 4hr trades at 6am PDT within the same trading day regardless even when in losses.
That is "Cut-Losses-Short" and is very simple rule close at 6am PDT. Post#1.

BigE "level" is to think that Stoch confirms TDI?
Then we can add 2 stoch, and slow one will "confirm" fast. Or 2 TDI the same way.

Here is a challenge for you:
1. Use the indicators BigE posted
2. Any pair that BigE used.

4. Date this past week.

With above points show the readers on that chart:
1. Why Stoch cannot confirm the direction of TDI Green.
(recall that was one of your previous post about Stoch)
-----
2. Why you consider that BigE's advice is "wishful thinking".
#1....... It is ONLY used to confirm direction.
#121... The TDI and Stochs are giving opposite signals...
#261.... Stochs is nothing but confirmation. If Stochs & the TDI give different signals... lights flash off and on warning me to take a closer look before entering.. and usually I look for another trade
#360..... going short but green hasn't crossed red yet... you choose... Stoch confirms...
#647......Does Stoch's confirm the TDI signal
#701.... TDI looks good with Stochs confirming...

No.

Basically #647 is pure Price Action without any indicators. TDI is "Heart" of BigE's Trading Made Simple, it signals timing for trade entries.

It is quantifiable performance that I was referring to.

Level of performance.

Trading forex on 1H and 4H using stoch and TDI indicators is impossible due to poor data quality (sessions, weekends, holidays). To make trading decision now you are using late NY and Asian session data mixed with previous day LO and NY and averaged. That is total mess.

Of course it can. Stoch 5/1/1 can confirm Stoch 15/1/1. TDI 21 can confirm TDI 14. But what is the purpose of such a confirmation? You took same data with different length and averaging and think that one confirm other. If you add 100 moving averages with different length they will confirm each other too?

Look at the chart posted.
Stoch direction (reaction) to price is much faster to that of TDI.
(due to the settings BigE used)
--- Can even change the settings that both indicators cross at the same time---
==========
By the time TDI catchup to Stoch on the new bar, Stoch could already decided that price is changing direction.
TDI is still happy going on his new way.

>>>>>But what is the purpose of such a confirmation?
Stoch is only telling the trader that the market is not what TDI is thinking it must be.
The trader must really take his time with post#647 to find reasons to place that trade.
The best and safest practise is not to place that trade and find n better setup with other pair.

>>> Big E : you can trade without the TDI


Jan 20, 2011

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.

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...
