Trading Made Simple

Quoting gnomefan
Quit forex (again) in 2024. Stumbled across this great and simple method by Big E (sad) and tested out a few trades by following the cross of TDI, got good results. Going to test it further on demo until the end of the month before trying with real money. An example of EJ i entered. Marked by the vertical line, as instructed by our Guru. Kindly let me know if it was a mistake or a correct one that i can repeat for years to come! {image}
IF you follow the OP' 5-Method he mentioned in his post #5 and use TDI as your helping indicator in addition the Stoch(8,3,3), you will find many trade setups according to post #11 , post #261, and post #647, and you get many good trades.
Any indicator would also help you pick the winners, for example the MACD.

{quote} Joined in '09 .... Quit forex (again) in 2024 .... Forever market junkie; don't know at what frequency you have been involved in markets but without any medical diplomas there is only one way. These malady cannot be fixed. Welcome to the club! Just hope it did not burn you to heavy on the way.
I started forex about the same year as you. So, we are veterans to this, but still get our keester kicked by the market.

I agree. I thought i was off of the candles last year, but something brought me to this particular thread. And i now see why, maybe there is light at the end of the tunnel!

Now lets get that wheelbarrow!
I think I got something, for now still play around and shows all pips around open positions actually 140 in 50 min (there is mistake due bitcoin showing 10x more)

Hey there! I love that you still post charts here. Thank you!

I read all of OP's post and training charts religiously. For now, as i am testing this, i am using the TDI cross as well as a bit of PA knowledge sprinkled in. So far, so good! Not looking to add anything to the chart as of yet, as i need to lay the foundation correctly first, but i do appreciate the insight.

Looking forward to your guidance as well on this.
Only thing i see now that i need to look into is the reentry or bounce trade.

The cross is easy to spot during H1 or H4 candle movement within the 10 minutes of each TF.

However, for bounces, i am unsure. Because, TDI may be a cross or just a bounce. What i do now is, after the bounce, i enter on candle 2 just to validate, as candle 1 seems a bit risky as green and red is close and may cross.

What do you think?

You need to learn the 5-Method and what the Price Action bounce is.

Your UJ H4 chart price action show the market is range bound to the downside and this is confirmed by the Stoch(8,3,3).

Check all JPY pairs and look at the composite strength which is more bearish this week.

If you want to buy, wait for the Weekly and Daily both shows bullish price action and you will possibly take profit at 156.00 .
On H4 we must see the swing lows and swing highs with higher highs.

the 5-Method

Quoting eelfranz
Divergence, That was just one of many methods we discussed. Folks were getting confused by mixing up rules from different methods so this thread will only be about the 5 method.
Quoting eelfranz
Unless you mastered this method already... keep the questions or concerns coming. Post your Demo trades too. Continue making Demo trades to build your confidence and study old charts where the TDI gives clean signals... it will pay you in spades... well, pips in our case...

//I trade the US Open first 2-3 hours on the 1 hr charts and then pretty much don't trade again until 10pm my time (2 hours before the London Open) and then it's on the 4 hr charts. I check any trades at 2am my time (Pacific) and then close all 4 hr trades at 6am my time.... and switch to hourly charts again. Some days I don't trade like Sunday or Friday.
Today is Friday , Feb 07

Do you trade today?

I know this basic staff.
I just like the idea of different colours of histogram above and below 0 line. And also idea of a line connecting tops of each histogram bar.
I don't have this kind of Macd indi in my collection.

@Emmanuel7788, thank you so much for keeping the thread alive. You are now the backbone of the community, while Big E remains the heart and soul of everything we do. Thanks to your efforts, Big E's work is not just an opportunity to make money but a chance for everyone to learn and grow with solid, correct knowledge. This has the power to truly change lives.
I think about all the people who can benefit from this: fathers, retirees, or even younger individuals looking to escape the rat race and find financial freedom and stability.
However, I have a fundamental question that, given the sheer volume of information available (almost 150k posts!), can feel overwhelming: how can someone learn the system in a structured and effective way?
For example:

  1. What are the first steps to follow?

    1. Should I start by reading the first X foundational posts?
    2. Then check the updates Y and Z?
    3. Follow up by studying the EAs and all related indicators?

  2. What are the basic rules to keep in mind?

    1. Using TDI, EMA 5, and Stochastic.
    2. The rule of not trading on Mondays and Fridays.

I know all this information is already available in the threads, but the sheer amount of content can be confusing and hard to navigate. A brief summary or a clear learning path would be incredibly helpful for those who want to learn without feeling overwhelmed.
Thank you so much for your patience and dedication. Your work is invaluable to all of us. God bless you!
