Years ago a few members in this thread called-out other members who post fake trades using photoshop-edited MT4 charts and created fake trades.

For example, most recently since 2020, @tommydoginti did just the same for years posting fake trades on MT4 charts which he edited using photoshop-editing tool. After he was called-out, he started to spin stories to cover-up his wrong doings and to distract traders here by posting photos of his luxurious lifestyle, travels, etc. to look massage his fragile ego.

ALL these crap fake TMS traders are not helping other learn to trade TMS and develop wining systems using Big E' 5-Method the true and honest way.

Examples of @tommydoginti fake trades he post in this thread.

.what would be the most beneficial to learning this method for higher success... The answer was simple... study old charts for set ups... now strip down everything on that chart at that point... trends, angles, S/R levels, News times, Stoch angle within the 20-80 lines..etc. Burn it into your memory... I spent 2 years doing that.... so what does that mean? It takes me 15 seconds to strip a chart down to nothing including the TDI & Stoch's. Taking clean trades is a breeze for me... why?

I have basically no physical capital of my own to trade im using funded accounts to build up a personal trading account and with the drawdown rule i canot give alot of different portions max 1% per day risk is my ideal goal so 0,5% for 4hr trades and the same for 1hr trades.

Talking about the 1hr the 2 amigos all gave a set up of a buy eu and gu, au looks weak and usdcad for sell however cad is on bank holiday so im skipping them and papper entry for the dos amigos.

I prefer to trade the 4hr charts at night. My broker posts new 4 hr candles at 10pm my time (Pacific), 2am my time and 6am my time. My page when I open up my charts has 8 open charts. I just glance at the TDI for set ups when the new candle opens... If I see a set up... green just crossing red I'll take the trade, turn off the puter and go to bed. Four hours later (1:50am) my alarm goes off for the new candles and I take a peek... if I see a new set up I'll enter and go back to bed with the last alarm at 5:50am my time. I close all trades at that...

Finished the week - with some weekend trading on BTCUSD and ended up with 13% profit - had a loosing day Saturday, but gained it all back Sunday.

What you wanna be looking out for is volume - you want to get into the big moves just as they start to form - but not until you have a very good chance that it will happen.
I take a lot of trades but manage my risk and cut my losses fast. NEVER take a full loss - you can always give your trade another chance when it starts to move and break support/resistance or wicks of previous candles.

In this week i had 15 consecutive losses, and I must admit that was not me playing my A game. I'm still new at trading BTC in the weekend, so had to figure out how it moved and once I got the feel for it, the gains started coming.

What I wanna say is - have patience and wait for moments of volume - where price breaks out of either support/resistance or previous candles in a trend.

Using the original strategy will help you find setups until you learn how to spot them on your own. But don't follow it blindly - read and learn what others have posted here and make your own strategy that works for you. But have patience and WAIT - don't take a trade just because the setup is there - it's normally not the right time to enter. Wait for a retracement and a break - and you will have a much better stoploss to enter from.

Spend a few days watching one pair - see how it moves- Spend time looking for setups on the 4 hour timeframe and see how it performs once a setup has manifested. Watch how the price moves on the lower timeframes in comparison to the higher and learn how to spot the right time for entry when there is the highest chance that your trade will go of in your direction.
If you can master this, you will minimize your risk and drawdown and become profitable - don't just enter blind on a setup and expect it to work - many times it wont.

Stoch and TDI are moving in different directions also the bounce shows more on Emmanuels because it doesn't update until the close of the bar, whereas I think your TDI is refreshing.

{quote} Hi Lynnc, good to see you here in the TMS thread! Emmanuel7788 is a hater and troll here on the forum targeting other TMS traders. I agree with regmatkhan00, he is just a useless piece of shit. There is no point reading or responding trolls and their nonsense, both useless and not affecting your trading at all. Just ignore them {quote} I rather enjoy spending some of my profit trading the TMS method, like traveling and enjoying activities. The badminton men double final just finished, such a great match! Malaysia vs Denmark was more exciting...
Great match for men’s bouldering in Paris just now! Good to see both Adam and Narasaki and others are performing so well!

You will see the TDI values of the current candle changing and may differ from others’ screenshot as the candle is still forming and we are viewing the charts at different time

same that you may see a bearish candle on your chart on H4 while 1 hour later price moves up and becomes a bullish candle.

Once the candles closed and form a new candle, the TDI values of the closed candles will be fixed (as values are calculated based on candle close prices.

Trade well.

WHAT DO YOU GUYS SAY?
Is this a decent setup?

  1. TDI and STOCH down. ✓
  2. Downtrend ✓
  3. The previous leg down was decent. ✓
  4. But the wicks are long on the candles ✗
  5. Resting higher time frame support ✓

@tommydog....

Your are wrong again. Stop posting bullshit and misleading the people here.

Keep It Simple : Just follow the OP' posts and trade the way it has been laid out according to his posts.

The TDI which Big E used is in post #25.
There are five(5) values - three(3) of the values will update on every price tick.
Only two(2) values will not update on every price tick.
The creator of the TDI is Dean Malone and he explained the reasons why he intended it to be the way in the first version of his Synergy trading model when it started in 2005. Big E and I were trading the original Synergy trading model and this is how Trading Made Simple was developed based on that model and using the TDI in post #25.

Even when the candle closed the values will not be fixed. The values can change as much as the last 34 bars/candles which depends on the price volatility.

The SAGA of the TDI continues...

Don't contact Dean Malone about the TDI. The way he uses it for his method is 180 degrees from how we use it... you need to learn how to use it our way... The TDI is the heart of our method. It tells you when to enter and where to exit any trades... so review previous posts and learn it good. HA Candles are important because it makes your trading way less stressful... use them. Stoch's is nothing but confirmation. If Stoch's & the TDI give different signals... lights flash...
