#4368 "Check your 4hr & 1hr charts when considering a trade your not sure of... what's building under that Daily chart? Take a peek.." do the same for every other timeframe you want to trade. for example, if you trade M15... take a peek at H1 for setup conditions

" On the TDI I enter when green crosses red after checking out the PA, hi/lo, Stoch and then make my decision.."

hey @tommydog

the same narrative you post in this thread. Your mental conditions is consistent with that of an unhappy person suffering from bipolar disorder.

YES! the TDI is 0% accuracy when you do not know how to read PA and the time on the EA alert.

What did Big E said in his old thread about when to wait for the candle to close and when to take a trade during the PA of the active candle?

Go and read , study his old thread > here : https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...hastics-method

remember to take notes when you read and study Big E' posts.

A skin deep review of why last trade failed. #1 reason, entered before LO (perhaps) {image} {quote}

hi kin78

Don't beat yourself up because of one losing trade.

It is a good practice to review own trades both wins and losses, and learn from winning and losing trades. I do this as my trade journal.

There is nothing wrong to trade during the Asian hours. It depends on your trading system whether you are scalping or day trading or swing trading.

I open positions during the Tokyo session too when I am swing trading the Daily / Weekly.

But if I am day trading, I would avoid EU and GU, and only trade AU, AJ and UJ during the Tokyo morning session.

However, you are trading on your M30 chart, did you consider the H1 or the H4 price action for setups? I recall reading Big E' old thread, he would look for H4 setups then drop to H1 to look for a possible trade entry.

I did a review of #tommydog GU M15 trade on Apr 14 and wrote a few lessons:

Lesson 1 > https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...4#post13971504

Lesson 2 > https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...6#post13971506

Lesson 3 > https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...9#post13971509

A quick review of EU M30 Apr22 below:

> look at the H4, huge price drop
> then small H4 candles after London session closed
>>> no H4 setup on Apr22 Asian session
>>> the prior big green H4 candle is the master candle for trade opportunity, that is the H4 swing high!

Hi Emmanuel,

In case you are in another episode, I have been trading BigE’s Trading Made Simple for over 1 year now.



======

The way I practice TMS can be found in the following posts by BigE, No need to add any more craps like gambling EAs and indicators.

1. TDI is heart of the TMS 5-method --- #261, #2617
All trades I share here are signaled by TDI green cross /bounce red

2. I work with time frames and time of day that suits me --- #644, #1170, #4470
I usually trade during work hour because of my privilege at my job which I have a lot of free time. Sometimes at night because it is London/NY market time when volatility is high. I like Lower Time Frame because I prefer quick-in-quick-out.

3. I use simple PA analysis that everyone can learn --- #276, #647
I prefer leading ones which I can anticipate TMS TDI cross/bounce setups to catch the swing in early stage like BigE demonstrated in his charts

4. Aligning with the discussion of this thread during BigE's time, entries are the main focus --- #495
If I have other aspect of trading to share, I would go to other related threads. I hope readers in this thread can receive concise and relative information in respective thread for efficient learning

5. I apply the correct use of TDI Green & Red lines --- #11
#11 has clearly shown that BigE refreshed his chart before viewing the chart. Traders who want to learn and practice the TMS should 1) refresh the chart before analysis, or 2) use a non-repainting TDI Green Red indicator. I chose the later.

6. Absolutely no EA --- #802
Two reasons: 1) To respect the thread rule. 2) If you need to rely on EAs to help you become profitable, i) Your trading skill is so-so at this stage, and ii) you will never learn the discretionary analysis that can further improve your trading skills

7. Most importantly, I participate the forum with respect --- #486


Adding crap EAs does not help improve your trading. Set and forget SLTP you can maximise your odds and profit. Trust your analysis as a TMS trader

#1718
All this extra crap does nothing but confuse other traders and their success rate drops and they can't figure out why...

Everyone - Please stop adding anything... stick to the SIMPLE BASIC RULES.
That's what makes it work !

You are not sure "...In case you are ...".
Yes, I am in another winning week closed yesterday and also closed 15-trading days of my 20TDC.

People reading your posts and they all can see you are in your daily mental meltdown.

You have been trading over 1 year, that's good. You have another 14 years to catch up with Big E' 15 years.

I have been trading Synergy at the same time Big E joined CompassFX in 2005.
I have been trading Big E' 5-Method for more than 10 years since 2008.

- better check your IG broker price charts again.

EURJPY Weekly made a new high 140.01 and pulled back to 138.811, how many pips is that?

okie. @tommydog

so you are still paper trading and lost 90pips.

that's okay.

next time when you paper trade, remember Big E' Post#557 and when price pulls back, you exit and keep the pips what the market gave you.

this way you don't lose 90pips.

Good that you leave your small 'coffin' public flat in ShaTin and stay outdoor more often. Living in confined space do cause you mental issues.

Enjoy the freedive. Please post a picture of your in your dive suit and gear. Post some under water photos too.

But then I look up 2scoops and found in his profile he had given up TMS in 2016, the year you started posting in this thread.

Maybe, you replaced 2scoops and be the new AAA+++

PM Q&A

this PM is one example what a member asked:

Please, I need help using the Cave Manager EA.
I would like to open a position using 20 pips SL, then when in 20 pips profit, close half, and break even on the remaining one which I will let run to a target like 50 pips for example.

see these settings:
I set the TP = 100pips and SL=50 pips, and use CandlestickTrailingStop.CSTSL
Exit is 50% of the positions at +20pips
Remaining will trail using CSTSL
You must check the ATR(10) H1 of the pair you trade.
