{quote} How can we filter this sideway part? If we can filter these out, then we will get less loses imo {image}
I'll try to explain my point of view:

  1. Identifying the Dominant Trend: It’s best to look at a higher timeframe (H1/H4 or even D1) to determine the main trend.
  2. Clear Market Structure in Higher TF: For a bullish trend, the structure should show Higher Highs (HH) and Higher Lows (HL); for a bearish trend, it should show Lower Highs (LH) and Lower Lows (LL). If you don’t see a clear market structure, it’s best to ignore that pair.
  3. Using EMA 50-100-200 as Trend Indicators: You can use these EMAs to help identify the market trend. Everything you need to learn is available in this thread: https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...me-sr-analysis
    A quick tip: if the price action (PA) is below the Dragon trend and the EMA 50-100-200 are stacked downward, it signals a bearish trend, and vice versa for a bullish trend.
  4. Trade Only in the Direction of the Dominant Trend.

hey TMS Folks,

this is a proven approach for many years long before the OP started trading retail spot forex as a newbie in 2006.
this same approach he followed when he was trading the US stock market for 10 years with his original 5-Method.
can't ne any simpler than this

 

  1. Identifying the Dominant Trend:
  2. Clear Market Structure in Higher TF:
  3. Using EMA 50-100-200 as Trend Indicators:
  4. Trade Only in the Direction of the Dominant Trend.

{quote} Hey Tony, Have a look at the crossing tracing line I placed in the pic. I meant how can we filter those weak entry out. Obviously, it started to drop down the ema and turn back to sideway.
Hey Bigjjnem,

I am a newbie in this system and I do think filtering bad trade is hard, I think it will be hard if looking at indicators can tell if its an good trade with 3 to 8 candles or just pop an ideal candle then went to sideways. it require PA analysis skill in my opinion, or not it will just be an holy grail. The thing that I just figure out these days is

May I ask about when you get in and put your positions? is it when you see green crosses red and stoch confirms, then if the #1 candle over then you get in directly on #2 candles?

Because in my trying and observation I find out that
the method requires quick entry. That means when green crosses red and the angle looks good PA is good, directly get in, then you could make some money even its only an 3 candles reversal. I used to get in when candle#1 is over and TDI and stoch gives an angle then I entry on candle #2. But it is very hard to earn money because the edge is small. If enter in to an situation like your graph, it is absolutely that it is an bad trade with loosing pips.

There were few confusion I also trying to figure out which get in at candle #1 requires monitoring the trade and I believe thats most of the TMS trader do(I read the post for 50 pages and that's what they are doing.)

I am still trying to getting the idea on Big E that he said entering on candle#1 and look at the angle of 12-2 or 4-6. Because when getting on candle #1 usually the candle is still on progress, how to know if its 12-2 or 4-6? even it is, its temporary angle before the candle close.

Hope there is an professional trader who have tried the system can also answer my concern.

Hope my idea could help you.

About whether the system is profitable,

Even though I am new in forex trading, but i do believe that this system is profitable. I think it needs to be more complete in certain way, that means to get it more details in entry and exit. Using an APB/HA candle isn't that easy to get an profit. Just like what I said, the APB/HA candle were problems. When there is strong momentums and it shows in TDI, its already pass the best entry on candle#2 and it is easy to face severe lost. Therefore I think moving to candle#1 and monitor the trade to see how that work. I will use tradingview to do an quick test on 4hr frame, 1 hr frame and 15Min frame then post the result in here. But rather using big E's idea about exit, I will use an TP to see the correctness of the trade and how it works.

If anyone have any suggestions about the system, feel free to pop up.

That's what I am trying to figure out, which one count? Does the #1candle is the one after the green crosses red count as #1 or the one just changed the color but TDi didn't cross yet?

When you have done what Big E said,

I have no doubt that you will be profitable.

looking at the recent price action,

the setup and entry is earlier candle,

but knowing it is Friday, we would avoid trading the 4Hr
