Reply to PMs:

Over the weekend some members ask for my view on certain currency pairs, Gold and market Indices.

I don't have the time to reply each and every PM but I will start here with currency pairs.

Week 30, Jul 21

TMS 8 pairs for beginners.

Start by looking at the Weekly charts after New York closed last Friday July 18,

- do you see Trending or Sideways Market Type conditions ?

- adapt your trade plans for different Market Type conditions

- look for trades that have potential to run +9R to + 12R profits,

- for short-term trades like when you are day-trading, aim for +2R and +3R trades,

- remember even when you scalp, you scalp the 4Hr the way the OP has explained in his posts,

- this way, you can scalp in the direction of the 4Hr-Daily-Weekly for maximum profit ... "Let Profits Run".

Chims... I almost always have the tdi & stoch on all my charts regardless of the method being used. However, it's not necessary on the 5 method for me. It gives people more confidence when they have it on their charts it seems.... and it's a good confirmation to the current PA and possible trade.

- do you have enough confidence to trade without the TDI ?

- first you must have done your WTDA and know the Market Type conditions for this week' trading.

- then next is your Daily

Hello everyone, hope you're doing well.

I have been reading the thread from the beginning but also what seems to be its continuation by RobinHood: https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...g-made-simpler

Thousands more pages left to read but still I just wanted to say thank you everyone for what is really a gold mine. If I understood correctly, Big E, the one who started this thread, is no longer with us so may he rest in peace.

I have been serious about FOREX trading (or "serious"; if I really stick with this long term this phase of mine may yet look quite amateurish as plenty of things do in hindsight) for about 4 months but I've been in trading, both spot and leverage, for the last 3.5 years though in crypto so I'm at least familiar with some concepts. Made some money here and there, lost some. All in all around break even.

Since I'm not too fond of MT platform, I have done my best to recreate the indicators used here on TradingView and even though I've only used the system for two days, the results so far are better than everything I've fielded before it.

Needless to say, TMS is one side of the coin; I've made improvements in risk management, MTF analysis, my own psychology etc. Overall I feel like this is something I could definitely work with.

Nothing else to say, thanks again and best regards

[quote=eelfranz;4569656]I prefer to trade the 4hr charts at night. My broker posts new 4 hr candles at 10pm my time (Pacific), 2am my time and 6am my time. My page when I open up my charts has 8 open charts. I just glance at the TDI for set ups when the new candle opens... If I see a set up... green just crossing red I'll take the trade, turn off the puter and go to bed. Four hours later (1:50am) my alarm goes off for the new candles and I take a peek... if I see a new set up I'll enter and go back to bed with the last alarm at 5:50am my time. I close all trades at that time and go back to sleep... There are enough set ups in a normal week to make 200-500 pips... Stress is zero... If I do any day trading I'll use 1hr charts at news time. Any method and any timeframes are difficult and fast on the 5-15 min charts. That's where most traders get taken to the slaughter and the dealers know it which puts the odds in their favor... I hate to monitor charts anyway. Even if I scalp the market I use 4hr charts with success.... 4hr charts have less noise, less head fakes, less influence by any news. Just has a lot of benefits... The key to building confidence is to study old charts... look at the TDI moves and how it looks on PA so every time you see that same set up you will know your odds for success are high.[quote]

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 ...

How do you control risk?
If I have a long position and a target on hourly timeframe, I'll use lower timeframes signals to add positions and move SL forward to manage risk. If my original risk is $100, then I'll manage my risk to $100 max.
