Hi all, I wasn't planning to do this until the end of 2025 to show the progress. However, I want to show what my current progress is using this method, in real $ terms. I started working and using this method from late Dec early Jan. Please do not mistake this as a "Showing off" exercise. I am not interested in that. If anything, I want others to try this method as I am sure it will make you profitable. 100% Happy Trading!!! {image} {image} {image} {image}
This was my first post on TMS(r) from 10th Jan.

Hi Roscearm,
Thanks for sharing these results, nice returns.
May I ask if you reviewed the January trading for signs that were negative compared to the positive ones in that month., hopefully there were a few positive ones as well.

I notice that your system may not have been varied during that month which proves that a system may not always be perfect however, your following months were very positive so congrats for not changing the system due to a bad month---(I hope that is correct if not I apologize mate) Only use generallities on the system not specific entries or exits as that is private in my opinion, continued good trading.

I spend my weekends reviewing my past trading activity, also some from FF members, however Gold increased in value approx $200 approx for the similar period suggesting the markets were affected by unusual events, would you like to share any thoughts on that or care to comment, as many good traders accept the good returns but spend many hours evaluating those that were negative.

Thanks for your posts, they are valuable for testing our own ideas, and I wish you much success for the remainder of your trading days ahead, look forward to all comments from others as well.

Kind regards

January was a transition month from what I was following before and moving to TMS slowly.

Hi everyone, new kid on the block here. I have read through 70% of the thread so far and been learning and demo trading since December. I quite like this system thus far but am finding that habits are a hard thing to break.

Have taken these 2 trades today.

Open to any constructive criticism and advice. Really just here to learn as much as I can.

I feel like my timing could have been better, like maybe I jumped in a little to quickly?

Welcome Sam, great having you here.

Before I give you some of my suggestions.

I want you to know that doesnt matter whether you Trade the same System as others here, ultimately every Trader will trade it slightly different.
And this is a GOOD thing. Every Trader needs to take the System and turn it into HIS System.
So dont look too much at what other Traders have to write about Trades and instead keep trading on your Demo to find out yourself what works for YOU the best.

When do Setups work out the most?
When do Setups fail often?
How tight should my Stoploss be?
What Target should I go for? a fixed 1:1 , 1:1,5R? or should it be more dynamic? Candle colour switch? etc.

That are the things that no one can help you with.

Nonetheless.


Suggestions:

1. Focus on Trading the Major Trading Pairs (USD Pairs + maybe EURJPY/GBPJPY)

They are the most "liquid"/Traded Pairs. They move more consistent and usually also have a more narrow Spread.
Many exotic Pairs also have a terrible "Pip Value" meaning even tighter Stops may only be 5-10pips, which will result in big lot usage, which in return means large commissions (if you have to pay those on your broker).

2. Journal your Trades, specially during the beginning you can learn a lot by looking at your past Trades.

3. Start reducing the amount of Pairs you have on your Watchlist once you traded them enough. Eliminate the ones that you dislike one by one, till you got a solid list with Pairs that you enjoy Trading.

4. Just focus on improving and getting consistent.

5. Dont overanalyse every Loss you take. Losses are just part of the Game, sometimes you just gotta take a loss despite a perfect Setup.

6. Dont take Losses or Wins personal. You wont be the new warren buffett, because you won 3 Trades in a row. You arent a complete failure, because you lost 3 Trades in a row. Its a proccess.


Enjoy the Trading Journey. The Money comes on its own, if you focus on executing the Trading Plan perfectly every Day.
Cheers.

@SamIam

As an newbie to trading, higher priority is to finish reading the OP' posts. Read, study, take notes, and learn EVERYTHING he has posted.

Then make your vote ,

@rescuenava

Common mistakes new traders make here.

You did not check your Daily and Weekly.

You already missed the setup candle two bars earlier.

Be disciplined when you trade the 4Hr. Make sure you check your chart for trades once every 4 hours.
If you missed the setup candle, do not chase the following candles especially when the Daily and Weekly are not in favour of your trade plan.

Rule #2
