Some of today' beautiful trades. After some more silent time trend wise, for me, the trends returned in full force today. In order (left to right) (5min timeframe trades): NAS100.cash US500.cash US30.cash GER40.cash I hope you all have a nice day. Kr, Bob {image}
Out of curiosity, what was your exit reasoning on these trades?

Hi TMS(r)'s, I had a question for those that have been using the system for a while;

I'm having some trouble around expectancy, and I'm wondering anyone has been keeping track of their expectancy as a factor of R (R being 1 unit of risk) over time? I see posts here and there around +XXXX amount of pips, but that only gives part of the picture if the stop was large. Read: I think my stops are too large and I'm not able to capture enough of a move it seems like.

I know this strategy/style has gone through many iterations as people have contributed and as RH has worked on it, so I'm curious for the long time users, are your entries purely mechanical? And your exits? What is your expectancy? Are you using the original strategy? And if not, what have you added to flavor it to your taste?

Just so we're on the same page, I think the reason why I can't get this to work well is me, not as a function of the strategy, so this is not a critique. But I do know that it can be difficult to really understand the ability for a system/strategy to make money if it's not calculated around a basis of expectancy, so it may help people who are using the system, or are new, to see what others really are basing their decisions off of, and whether or not that is increasing their ability to generate profits. Shameless plug: I really want to see this for myself. I just hope other people could benefit as well!

Do you trade H1 only?

Which of the following Exit Methods mentioned in Post#1 did you used?

--------------------------

Exit Methods

Just some of the possible ways...

1. Candles change to the opposite color(s)

2. RSI crosses the Purple 50 Line in the opposite direction

3. HMA Line turns the opposite color

4. A candle closes on the opposite side of the Yellow Line

5. One or both Stochastics cross the Purple 50 Line in the opposite direction

6. The HMA Line and the Yellow Line cross to the opposite direction

7. Stop Loss (including a trailing stop) gets hit

8. Profit Target is reached

9. The market stalls, or slows down to a crawl, or gets choppy

10. The trend changes direction

11. Plus many others, such as: Fibonacci spots, support and resistance areas, retracements, time of day, holidays, weekends, etc.

--------------------------

My preferred EXIT Method is to combine both no. 7 and no. 8
its can be 'set-and-forget' for no. 8 without the need to move initial SL for Expectancy below 3.

Anyone knows if the squares colors (the HMA_Trend squares) are repainted in the smTMMS Oscilator?

The Hull MA calculation uses iMAOnArray, which causes historical values to change as the array data updates.

Hello All, Latest test version 0.9. As Emmanuel suggested, we are now moving towards a true dashboard that brings together TMS(r) information. In this version, I'm integrating the calculation of a score to determine a pre-sell/sell recommendation. I'm already seeing a shift: - the weight of the RSO isn't enough. In my opinion, to have a strong recommendation, we should have at least five RSO indicators of the same color combined with x HMA vs. EMA crossovers. - bug if score = 100 (STRONG BUY/SELL vs BUY/SELL). I'm waiting for your feedback on this...
Version 0.9...and 1.0...the dashboard is very useful...thanks for your contribution...due to work I can't always look at the dashboard...I hope you can add an alert...overall green or red...or RSO...number greater than 90 to 100 adjustable size..alert...so we can leave the screen...thanks!

Hello everyone,
I’ve been part of this forum for about 4 years now, but I haven’t yet found consistent success in forex trading. I’ve tried different methods over time, but nothing seemed to work for me.
I came across the TMSr method a few times before but didn’t pay much attention to it. However, over the last few days, I’ve been reading more about it and decided to give it a proper try. I’ve taken a couple of trades based on this approach, and I’ll be sharing my charts here. I’m hoping to get some feedback from those who’ve been successful using this method.
I’m currently using the continuation method with a 1:1 risk-to-reward ratio, and I rely on three indicators for entry:

  1. Price below the EMA
  2. HMA flipping back to the original trend
  3. RSI staying under/over the 50 level throughout the continuation

For exits, I use the Heiken Ashi (HA) candle and HMA flip as my signal. I can’t display both APB and HA candles simultaneously on TradingView, so I’m only using HA candles for now.
Below are the three trades I’m currently in. Any feedback or suggestions are very welcome!

Not sure I understand. It's not reliable?

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback.
It's planned, it's just that the end of the year is very busy, so you will have to wait a little.

H4 typically, I've also been experimenting with much lower TFs (5min) as well. H4 seems like a good balance between screen time, but not being chained to a terminal. There is still enough of a break in between bar closures to be a human. H1 seems like an awkward timeframe.

For exit methods, I'm using a combination, I believe RH mentioned it somewhere in here, sort of like a "if X amount of these X things" happen, I'm out. So it's a either an HMA shift, APB/HA bar color change, Stoch/RSI dropping out of alignment, etc.

I've been thinking about my application of this method, and it might be that I have a slightly misaligned understanding of the entry setup, it was mentioned in here by RH at one point as well, and I even asked him about it, but it was to have stops placed on the entry timeframe, and I believe he said he was using 5 min. So if stops are on the 5m, and targets/exit signals are on the 4 hour, then the expectancy would rise I imagine, since the R:R would grow quite a bit. I think I just wonder if that is how people are using this, as it makes a lot more sense from a R:R perspective.

Something I have experienced, is that enough of the system drops out of alignment to boot me out of a trade, only to continue again as a continuation trade, but now again with a wide stop and the first trade closed at BE or a small loss. Now this second trade needs to travel another R again to be in profit, which isn't always very probable with the wide stops I am needing to use on the 4h chart, and the second entry has now traveled quite a distance from the original entry point to realign the pricing indicators after they drop out of sync.

As I have seen folks using this with success, I'm sure there is either something I am doing wrong, or something I am not understanding about a key component!
