{quote} Well said. This thread is a trading system thread about BigE’s Trading Made Simple. The problem here, since 2017 and before we joined, this thread was already spammed by a fake TMS trader Emmanuel. This dude tries to shut out everyone else here trying to contribute to The BigE’s TMS as of its rules. mocking others of their performance blah blah blah. But in fact he is no bette or even worse. You simply read the posts yourself and you will know. No need to be convinced by me. {image}
But you arguing with him in this thread is completely pointless isnt it? You are just adding to the mess, you do the complete opposite of what your goal is.

I much rather have 1 person going off topic than 4. Does that make sense?

You are just arguing here like children about who is the worse trader, this has nothing even to do anymore with Emmanuel being off topic or not. You are just bashing each other about trades that happend 3 years or even longer ago lol.

Dont you and all the others not having anything better to do?

I know its sounds super weird but.... maybe just maybe you guys add each other on telegram or whatever social media you want to use and discuss it out there? You guys are arguing for months now spamming this Thread full with garbage that has nothing to do with actual Trading. I dont know why you are all trying to measure your internet dick sizes in this Thread, if you guys are so keen about measuring each others Penises do it somewhere privately and let People that just want to learn and Trade TMS use this Thread for its intended purpose. None of...
You have mentioned key points that Vincent has violated for YEARS instead adhering to BigE's stated purpose: To discuss ONLY the 5-method.

spamming this Thread full with garbage that has nothing to do with actual Trading.
Check all of Vincent's posts made in this thread just this year and you will see that he has, indeed, been "spamming this Thread full with garbage that has nothing to do with actual trading".

let People that just want to learn and Trade TMS use this Thread for its intended purpose.
If only you can convince Vincent to actually "use this Thread for its intended purpose", which BigE stated CLEARLY is to discuss ONLY the 5-method and not add anything, then you can be assured that there will be a radical improvement in the thread content. But good luck with THAT.

None of you are adding anything useful in BigE´s thread,
In reality, there is nothing that needs to be added: BigE presented the 5-method with many training charts. But shortly after he died, Vincent start perverting the thread with off-topic material. People called him out about it several times, and asked him to start his own thread. so his destruction of the thread has been ongoing for nearly 10 years. If he TRULY cared about people learning the 5-method, don't you think that after even a couple of criticisms about not adhering to the 5-method topic that he would be careful to follow it? But look what he did instead ...

But really, when the thread is filled with topics that are totally OFF topic, then the thread is trashed. So is it a surprise that a long time ago it turned into the thread for daily laughs, not a thread for serious trading discussions?

If you want a thread that that actually has serious content based on the 5-method, try this one.

I personally "dont care" about this thread and I have learned everything that can be learned from here.

I am just confused why grown adults that dont even know each other are arguing and insulting each other for months and spam a public thread.

So with this said, keep on going and have fun!!

You are exactly right!! But after Vincent piled his garbage here and would not stop adding more to the pile, despite MANY people asking him to stop, it is clear that this is indeed merely a dump where folks can come for daily laughs.

And "trade bashing" from 3 or more years ago is to demonstrate that Vincent couldn't trade years ago and has made no improvements to his abysmal performance, so he is hardly a role model for anyone that wants to learn the 5-method. Newcomers should not be fooled into following a charlatan.

However, if the biggest offender in the thread would simply eliminate all of his off-topic posting, then you can be assured that the thread would be radically improved, and most of the other off-topic material would simply not materialize.

hey @Tekkies

You need to start all over again your learning journey.

Trading Made Simple is just the thread title.

The trading methodology is Big E' 5-Method which started in his old thread.


For @Tekkis who lost his way since 2016,

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 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 traders are the best traders,

Enjoy and Have fun during your learning journey..

hey @tommydog

ETHUSD historical historical level 2970.84 and failed to make higher high + higher Close above 2970. Look farther left, it failed 3 weeks ago which confirmed the sideways Market Type. Study the Weekly Range AWR 52 weeks and compare with its 104 week AWR to determine if it is narrow or wide range sideways market type.
Big E did no teach people how to determine the Market Type conditions. He did not use the first key.

it is corrective wave now because the Weekly Market Type is Sideways ranging. can get messy this week.

hey @tommydog

you did not ZOOM out on your H4 and see the Weekly candles price action.

let me try explain to you what I learn from another Super Trader in 2011.

The Weekly candles shows a low and a major swing high and reversed. The move down ended with the first big WCC. Then the next smaller WCC and an even smaller WCC .... what do you see in the trading range?

hey @Tekkies

OP last post #12,912.

after that Post#12,912 according to you are advance forex stuff. You can re-read your old post#76,129 Feb 20, 2017.

quoted below:

===========
BigE have left a void behind that members need to full on their own.
Emmanuel filled that void and did it very good. Somewhere along the way he lost track that he is dealing here mostly with members that do not know how to trade at all.
Members that have learned from BigE and emmanuel have moved on and left this forum. Most probable successful traders in own right.
Those old members are replace by new members that do not know how to trade. Every couple of days / weeks the cycle repeat it self.
So after many years the level of traders in this thread is still at the level of a new member. The subject / topic's that emmanuel is posting now is advance forex trading.
How long did it take you to understand all the point's in post#647. I did not even looked at ME/ME for that level of trading is above me and the little I know.
Do I enjoy those post fighting with emmanuel about keeping it BigE's way. No I do not.

Anway, yes let us discuss #647 in a way the members new to this thread can understand
=============

Shall discuss trading made simple Big E' 5-Method and Post#647?

hey @tommydog

it is too complicated because you do not have the market knowledge nor the trading experience and skills to trade the different Market Types.

Bulls make money. Bears make money. Pigs get slaughtered.

Your ETHUSD buy in narrow range sideways market will fail most of the time.

Your LH LL and HH HL analysis all wrong when you cannot ZOOM out on your small mobile screen.

Looking at these entry's and the questionable profit posted so eagerly, it is understandable why Vincent refuse to link that live running visible Trade Explorer to the charts he post in this thread. 6 buy entries going wrong and Vincent write about "self-sabotage", "lack of self discipline". What a fake. Can only burst out laughing. {image}

hey @Tekkies

Bulls make money. Bears make money. Pigs get slaughtered.

learn this from another Super Trader.

> How to trade both Good and Bad markets and still make money using KEDGE account.

Weekly Control Candle WCC by member Strat is a 'powerful' pattern and indication of the market type condition.

TMS Swing Trading will work in only two particular Market Types #1 and #2.

One of Super Traders' secret is Risk Management and Position Sizing.
