{quote} How much weight/emphasis do you give the 2/8 trend? I find that it often filters out some good trades, as the entry candle is sitting on one of the MA's or sitting slightly in between the two causing it to be identified as range. So I stopped including it.

Trend 2/8 is from another system which was introduced by some members in 2010.

You can compare that with the 5EMA and also the Synergy' 5SSMA high low.

I would give them all equal weight when I look for CONTINUATION trades after the True REVERSAL.
I always have the 5LWMA,Close,0 with 5EMA,Typical Price,Shift+2 on all timeframes. IF there is price consolidation, then be patient and wait for the break above the white/yellow MAs, chart 1 below.

Avoid taking trades when the Price Action remains 'trap' within the high-low of any two moving average, unless you see a possible strong reversal.

Side-by-side comparison

1) 5LWMA and 5EMA
2) 5SSMA high-low Synergy
3) 2SSMS/8SSMA Trend 2/8

Quoting eelfranz
When you see a TDI cross that doesn't look good... start checking other timeframes for the trade... look at other templates at different timeframes... do a thorough investigation before entering any trade. If you do this faithfully your win rate will increase dramatically... If its not quite ready put it on a watch list and go back and check it every 5,15 or 30 minutes...

@wngur1214

Thank you for posting your EJ 4Hr sell trade.

This will serve as lessons for traders here and what they need to learn and master to become better traders here.

There are many lessons from this trade you took.

You are not the only one here in the last 12+ years I see everyday taking TDI cross trades without mastering the 5-Method. The primary reason is not solving the Big E' puzzle which he mentioned early in his post in Forex Factory.

In this thread, the OP has 463 posts and these are like his 463 pieces of the big puzzle. Every piece of this 463 posts has answers why that trade could have been taken and with small winner or why it ended up a loser.

The core of Trading Made Simple is the 5-Method which is Price Action and Support/Resistance trading. The very basics which the OP summarize in his post #647. Trading the 5-Method requires skills in reading the candlesticks/bar charts.

To become a successful trader, you first need to have written your own Blueprint For Trading Success document. In your Blueprint , you must written your set of procedures in which you will follow as the trader. In every procedure you must have written all the instructions on what you need to do every month, every week, every day, etc. and down to instructions on looking for trades, takin trade entries, managing trade exit strategy, etc. ...

Now, you review your own trade chart which I zoom-in below:
- did you follow post #1
- did you follow post#11
- did you follow post #647 fully 100%?
- did you follow post #261 fully 100%?
- did you follow post #557
- did you follow post#7555

Easy to say why in hindsight trading.
Possible reasons:
> You placed an order going against prevailing uptrend.
> Why no stoploss or take-profit?
> Why trade when there is red news coming up?
> Did you check every 4 hours how your trade is doing?

hey TMS Folks,

here is a very good example why this member @Tekkies who have posting in this thread has not been profitable the last 10 years here.

He must be blind even with hindsight and got all things wrong in his post above.

First the calendar he copied is wrong.

He did not see the stop loss and take profit on the chart posted by member @wngur1214.

There wan no red news was not on FF Calendar which include EUR and JPY. But there was local events in Tokyo which were not reported in FF Calendar.

@Tekkies was also not paying attention to the date and time of that EJ sell trade.

For all of you who are still struggling to trade TMS 5-Method you need to follow the OP' posts from post #1 up to his last post #12,912 in this thread. If you do as the OP said in his last post #12,912, then you will find all the answers to his 5-Method and also answers to the member' @wngur124 EJ 4H sell trade and the reason why that trade ended a loser. In fact, that sell could have be profitable with a few pips.

You will also find some hints for this trade in these pdfs.

Pay attention to details when you want to learn to trade and to trade Trading Made Simple 5-Method here in this thread.

Start with first reading all the OP' posts in Forex Factory and get to know the member @eelfranz.

Your are blind.

Pay attention to details on his chart.

Learn to read the candles and the Price Action.

His trade entry was very late on the 4Hr.
