hey @Tekkies

your sell entry is 5 hours late!

you did not read all the post by Big E.

you will learn Big E' 5-Method when you pay attention to all his posts in this thread and that lead you back to his old thread where he started his 5-Method and 21/233 Method { here}.

Now read all the 53 posts where he mentioned "London" and take notes of trading times of the day .
If Big E would have lived in the London time zone, he would trade the 1Hr during the day.

@Tekkies

my comments on your H4 sell trade:

1) Price Action is king, note the consolidation after the last bullish H4 candle.

2) Stoch signal between 80 and 20 . Big E did not use those 60 and 40 levels.... not Big E' TMS .

3) TDI version you have is not the same as the #25 version Big E used ... its in Post #25.

4) You did not follow his post #261 and use the APB/HA candles for the PA .

5) You did not follow Big E' 5-Method and his use of 5EMA, Typical Price,Shift+2.

Hi Emma,

Following rule of 5 EMA method, we should wait PA cross 5EMA above to long and below 5 EMA to short.

But I remember in some post, Big E also long when PA below 5 EMA and short when PA above 5 EMA with TDI and Stoch 8,3,3 agree to long or short.

Please give me advice, I am a little confuse.

Dana, there is no rule of 5 EMA method in this thread. It is something Vincent sucked out of the thin air to confuse traders.

Read Post 718, pay attention to >I left it on my chart because I like to see how PA interacts with the 5ema line during the trade. Gives me a better feel for what's going on... that's mainly the reason..
> Ask yourself this: If 5EMA is so importend, why did BigE "left" in on the chart. mmmmm Do you trade on feelings or according to a checklist based on your own understanding of your own method?

You really want to understand 5EMA in this thread use the example in Post 98,023.

Yes, I think some BigE's rule has been changed over long time by himself.

Finally, Dose BigE still use 5 method and 21/233 method to trade? What is the finally rule of BigE TMS ? Which document or which post to learn about them ?

>BigE's last posted chart had / was according to his Post#1. Have not noticed any change between his first post / last post.

Does BigE still use the 5 method?

What is the finally rule of BigE TMS

Which document..........
>Your best document will be BigE full.pdf It contain all of BigE's posts in this thread with some posts from a previous thread.

............which post to learn about them
All of BigE posts shed light on how he used TDI to trade with.
Here are two:
a. Post#6 >entry/exit rule.
b. Post#647 >how to use price action with TDI

There is no short cut Dana, you have to sit down and burn the midnight candle with this method.
#1...... It took over 2 years to develop this method. I worked hard... late nights and weekends, too. I was so hungry for success

I see you are near a pitfall of trading made Complicated.

it is so normal as people deviate from the original method and make things worse and complicated…

#647
When wanting to enter a TDI trade... take a moment first to observe basic 4x things... like:

How close am I to the previous high or lo

Am I in an uptrend or downtrend.. short & long term...

Am I in or close to a consolidation area

Are the previous candles small...

Look at the candles on the last reversal... big, little, what

I made a summary and trade TMS. I suggest you to read and study BigE’s posts and charts.

trade well

https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...4#post13716404

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 !

Post#6........ We Enter a trade when green crosses red on the TDI at the beginning of that candle.
> Trade entered at close of bar.
Did you entered at the start of that bar > Post#11..... If I see a set up... green just crossing red I'll take the trade,
you would have gotten some profit.

Don't sleep on the job (until you understand yourself, this method)
Post#557..........If I enter a trade let’s say and I'm monitoring the trade and its up 50 pips but suddenly it pulls back 10-15 pips I just exit.

Hi Toomy, thank you so much for your advice, I checked the rule and I see

Am I in an uptrend or downtrend.. short & long term... ---> uptrend in H1

Am I in or close to a consolidation area ---> No

Are the previous candles small... ---> No

Look at the candles on the last reversal... big, little, what ---> Yes ---> So, this is important reason for my false long.

Hi Tekkies, I know I late for that entry at open bar, I only want to discuss if I entry at that open bar, I also have a lose trade clearly. Thank you for all your advice about BigE lesson, they are helpfull for me.

@ThanksDana

There is no 5EMA method. Big E original named it the 5-Method.

Why did he named it 5-Method, you will find out in his old thread.

Big E initially used Dean Malone' Synergy Price Action Channel 5SMMA high-low.
He would sell when the APB/HA candle closed below the 5SMMA-High and
buy when the APB/HA candle close above the 5SMMA-low.
He later removed the 5SMMA high-low channel and took the 5EMA Typical Price, Shift+3 from another system....5x3system

there is no swing low when you made that buy entry

is that a 5EMA Typical Price, Shift+2 on your chart>

No bonus to take that buy trade entry.
