Took a EU 4H trade. Will only scalp this trade by taking a TMS TDI hook up exit: {image}

instead of the #6 TDI hook up exit ... , you can consider #557 exit

or consider TMS-II exits with 0.5ATR, 1.0ATR, 2.0ATR and with CP Exit after 0.5ATR.

my UJ Aug22 TMS-II example:

Your safest trades will always be when green crosses red and you enter on candle 1 or 2... odds are in your favor. Why? Because I'm expecting 3-8 candles... which is average... .......

UJ Aug 23 H4 Tokyo 8am

- in the narrow range-bound trending Market Type I,

- it will not run 3 to 8 candles

- how do you determine the Market Type I and if it is narrow range-bound?

Big E called that a "tweek", this is what he called a hook, cause it looks like a hook.

Check out this 1 hour chart. Look at the TDI: The hook on the green is telling you to get out.. confirmed by the trade reaching the 32 line. 90% to exit trade and 10% chance it could be a bounce continuation... But as you look to the left bottom of the TDI you'll notice you have all ready reached the other lows too... click to enlarge... up to twice... {image}

The problem with that is you're making predictions.
You know it's a range bound market after it's stayed in a range.
You don't know when the ranging will stop and the market trends.
Sure you can use probabilities and statistics to try and gain an edge, but you still have to follow the market out of the range instead of leading to put the odds in your favour.

And stats speaking the vast majority of big runs originate when TDI is between 40 and 60.
As do most of the crosses btw.

The truth is no one can predict the markets.

We do not know when the market conditions will change until the week closes. This is simple enough.

I follow simple rules when I study old charts and learn what the OP had said many times .... study old charts.

The range bound market can be seen easily on the Weekly chart and its volatility. This what I think the OP sees with his use of Stochastics in one of his 19 templates.

It is also not 100% that " vast majority of big runs originate when TDI is between 40 and 60."
That can happen in some cases when both the price volatility and its momentum are happening at the same instances.

I took a bounce trade on the AU. Candle has 20mins to go, chances are it won't change colour. Daily has also turned blue.
It has been in a range for a while, who knows where it goes. gotta take the shot and see.

And yeah...took the UJ short. Most big runs come from the mid range of the TDI, as do most of the whipsaws.
The ranging also means that there's hope (or probabilites) the whipsaw losses aint too big. And the plunge.
But it is also for my own training to see how TDI moves with the market.

I've gone back about 12 mths with the main pairs looking at big runs of 10+ candles with no color change and no TDI hooks on 4H charts.
Trading from the extremes seems to give a much higher win ratio though.

Can't say that's extensive research, but I still I should take that into accunt with my trading decisions.

For those lurking, give this a try may work out for you. Post some charts and trades.
Also great to integrate with other systems for confirmation though this TMS/TDI system may get you in and out before most others.

You are doing good Shaggalo.
Try to catch the TDI crossover setup at the beginning of the new candle.
As to the exist rules Post#6 > Go down 1, 2 frames. Check TDI on that timeframe, it might already show you that the trend is going in the right direction.

Cheers, getting there...
Yep, lately I've been entering a little before the candle the clock ends when it seems obvious it won't change colour.

One of the issues is using HA.
I need to get used to looking at them as it just seems that what I'm looking at can be so far away from actual price at times.
And when a new candle paints I was like WTF?...oh yeah HA.
Started using them a few weeks ago as they seem to smoothen out the trends. Which is what started me reading the forums.

I also got suckered by the forming hook on GJ and the non formed EJ hook , I could've just closed half or 70% of the trade and let the rest run till colour change or next cross.
hooksuckered, suckerhooked, hookwinked...maybe there's a name for it lol.
Market are a bit more jittery than when this thread was started.

Remove HA from chart. Nowhere did BigE clearly stated why HA must be used, except to maintain your composure.
Post#49.......It's more calming to trade HA candles.
Post#261...... HA Candles are important because it makes your trading way less stressful... use them.

@Shaggalo

The APB/HA candles is important to pick the best A+++ Price Action setups with the 5EMA, Typical Price , Shift+2.

It is the price OHLC and the HA candle body which you should pay more attention to.
It is the price OHLC that will show the MOMENTUM and that's what both the Stoch and RSi/TDI are checking.
The HA body size matters.

Today' EurGbp post-PMI data release 4hr setup,
>>> the HA candle is considered in this setup ...
