{quote} Hello Emmanuel, Please extend an invitation to your Telegram group if possible. I have been following Big E TMS and your posts for the last 6 months. cheers
hi @puckettech

There are several Telegram groups based in different locations and time zones. These groups have their own Admin member as their 'lead' trader.

You are based in Vietnam and there is no active Telegram group yet. I see a few FF members in this thread but they are not active traders. Without member being active here I have no idea their knowledge and experience levels and this will be difficult to invite them.

At the moment I do not have spare time resources to start a Vietnam TMS Telegram group. I spend most time with my personal FFAI group.
You can form a new TMS group on Telegram and see how many active traders would be interested.

I made a post years ago about starting small trading groups and the requirements. Let me look for this.

Hi Emmanuel,

Yes, it's true I'm based in Vietnam but operate accounts in both Asia and the US. I currently have four accounts: two in the USA (one demo, one live) and two in Vietnam (one demo, one live). I've been demo trading for the past six months and am now trading on both live and demo accounts.

While I don't feel ready to lead at this stage, it's definitely something I aspire to in the future. I'm currently traveling and will be in the US for the next month. I'd be interested in either the US or London timezone sessions. Although I tend to trade setups whenever I see them, regardless of the active session, I do follow the OP and your advice about keeping those trades on the lower timeframes.
Thanks for the response.

-Cheers

Apr 30 Last trading day of the month and it is mid-week, and the Weekly candle will only close on Friday New York 5pm,

but the Monthly candle will close today at New York 5pm, ... then I need to update my Big Picture mid-week.

I hate this Wednesday Month-End closing.

But today is another typical day when things happen every hour of the day.... and we have another 1361 days of you know what.

TMS Daily charts do not look good.
Swing Highs and Swing Lows, but no continuation after the swings ...
I go back to post #11 and refresh what I had learned from the Big E.
I would avoid the low timeframes M5, M15, M30, etc.
Trade and scalp the 4Hr, but how do scalp the 4Hr?

This week's trade planning start at this post #149,813

https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...1#post15229361

then follow each of my post from that post onwards ask question related to each of my post and learn fast.

>>> Learn how to scalp the 4Hr.

You can scalp the 4Hr any day of the week not necessary only at month-end. Just follow Price Action and Support/Resistance. Look as swing highs and swing lows, follow FF news calendar and ALWAYS be very careful when trading into the US Futures market hours.

Important you know the Weekly and Daily charts. Mitigate those risks you see on Weekly and Daily especially when you are scalping against the Daily and Weekly.

Because I did not have the Daily and Weekly in my favour, I reduce my trade risk amount and trade smaller Position Size. All I want is to hit a +2R to +3R trade profit and can still maintain my Positive Expectancy.

{quote} there was a swing high price action that lead to that trade.

that's one important price action you see on the 1Hr.

also note the TIMING of that 1Hr is also the close of the last 4Hr candle ,

and the PPA Previous Price Action,.. swing highs and swing lows, previous support and resistance, resistance broken become support etc.,...

the setup was a swing high + True REVERSAL ... this is classic TMS 5-Method 5-bars/candles setup

and there was no 'show-stopper support' in the previous days.

Hi Emmanuel,

Thank you for the detailed explanation. I need to study more...

One question. Why didn't you enter on the previous candle? The setup candle was the one right after the swing high, right? It had also closed below the 5 EMA. Did you want more confirmation? Okay, 2 questions. lol

Oh, I think you answered this. You waited for the close of the 4HR, right?

Reply to PMs:

I have a few requests from members who want to trade the Daily chart timeframe because of their day jobs and cannot access during the local hours between London 8am and 6pm.

I am sure you all have read the OP post #4752, post #302, post #8703 .
Big E' aggressive trading style is not suited for Daily charts if you have fully understood all his posts and you will know some reasons why. You need to address how you would deal with what the mentioned in post #302.

You need to have a different mindset when you want to trade the Daily.

The chart template remains the same.
We will start with Big Picture Planning BPP and Weekly Top Down Analysis WTDA
More focus and attention will be on Price Action and Support/Resistance. Post #2617

With volatile market conditions in the next 1360 days, we should be able to gain a lot of trading experience and make some money.

Please stay tuned for my posts which will focus on swing trading the Daily charts.

I'm going to do a test on the Daily charts. When green crosses red I'll stay in until green crosses red again. I'll report the results in a week or so... I'll only enter if the candles are medium length or larger... wish me luck ...
For those wanting to trade the Daily charts, spend your time over the weekend and test the Daily according to the OP post #4702 July 2011 above.

Share your back-test results here for discussion.

If you want to use an Expert Advisor for back-testing, there is one in this thread developed by @SteveHopwood.
