GU Jul01 H4 London 10am Pacific 2AM 4Hr

- if you missed the Pacific 10PM entry, you still have this 2AM 4Hr entry

- the question is where to place your initial SL

- do you exit at the next 4Hr 6AM ?

Hi @emmanuel,

I've been testing your trade entries, and I'm impressed! Out of 10 trades, 8-9 are winning entries, which is a fantastic.
However, I'm struggling to maximize profits. My trades often turn small profits or even losses.
This usually happens because I see the TDI forming a hook or similar reversal pattern, which makes me exit the trade.

I'd love to understand your thought process behind managing winning trades. Specifically, could you share some insights on:

  1. Exit Strategy: When you see a winning trade, what criteria do you use to decide when to exit?
  2. News Events: How do you handle news events that cause price spikes? Last Friday's situation is a perfect example. My profits doubled in minutes, then halved again. Unsure of taking profits, I held until the TDI flattened, exiting with only 60% of the potential profit.

Understanding your approach to managing trades would be incredibly valuable.

This is what i am doing

Dean, Your Question: In post 955 you say there is no setup on candle one yet. Is this becasue the green hadnt quite crossed the red on the tdi?? YES and lets say it had crossed...would you enter a trade on that first candle? Yes .....is trade entry ONLY on the opening of a fresh new candle?? ++++ That's where your best momentum is at but you can enter a little late but your odds drop... My chart for some reason is slightly different to yours. My tdi green has not crossed the red but yours has??? anyone know why?? +++ Different Broker...
Hello @TMS members,

I'm encountering an issue. As @eelfranz mentioned, I enter a trade when the
TDI crosses, which I've been doing. However, after 4 hours, I notice that the
candle, which initially appeared to be bouncing, actually
reversed direction (the same candle I entered as it crossed is the one that
reversed after 4 hours).

This can be observed in my XAUUSD entry.

When I noticed gold bouncing, I entered at the fresh candle, but after 4 hours,
the bounce didn't materialize, and the green line is now crossing the red line.

You can see the XAUUSD fresh candle where I entered in my previous post #146,965.

For a better TP, you should use some tool to define the liquidity point where the green line goes flat and the Price goes against you. You can look for the pivot point (Davit pivot), basic PASR from the strats threats which is a timeless lesson for everyone. For some pairs that have Greenline ranging around redline, you can take TP in the higher timeframe where the red line eliminates all the noises or TP when price cross 5MA-3 or EMA again.

A bounce trade I have found is far more effective when used in a trending move after a pullback as a continuation. When you look at H4 it is ranging at the moment, but the D1 TDI is facing upwards and its usually a good idea to check the timeframe higher before pulling the trigger.

bythepound, Post #3790. Did you check the 4 hr. chart before taking the trade on the Daily chart? If you had at 2pm pacific you would have seen your one candle late on the 4 hr. and green & red were flat. I believe if you were monitoring the trade while in progress you would have made a profit... and maybe you did...

@lyncc

you have at this for many years much longer than most members here.

Have you made any money with the TDI?

Look carefully at his charts before and after, there was no Price Action at Support/Resistance and where it shows a PA bounce....there was no price action bounce

Read, study and take notes ....

Learn to read the candles and its PA then what the TDI is telling you.

Hi NolanFelix,

You can wait for the current candle to close and form a TDI signal to entry at open of next candle.

As shown in your 2 charts of different times, the candle was still forming (before it closed at the H4 mark of your broker), candle body also changed color as you can see.

Following BigE’s TMS, the trade setup was a buy with profit in 2 candles later (#11 BigE’s way to trade H4, closing trades after 2 candles=8 hours)

In this way, your alerts should set to “once per bar close” on TradingView.

Good luck. Now back to Hong Kong for a week of rest

Hi Lynnc,

good to see you around in the TMS thread.

BigE mentioned that in TMS method, TDI bounce entries are for strong price movements, re-enter trades after a TDI cross entry setup.
