One Telegram group ongoing discussion and member asked if we can use Buy stop orders like in other thread.

I don't use Stop order. I only use Market order and Limit orders.

But if you want to use Stop order, then do it on M5 example below.
Just watch the swing highs and swing lows.

Hey Emmanuel

I’ve seen that you’re still trading with the system. Does it still work that well?
I got the right indicators from page 2893, “the Synergy Package.”
I’m wondering because you also comment regularly in the Trading Made Simple(r) thread.
What would you recommend as a master?

@Dr-evil

Your first post in Forex Factory and in this Trading Made Simple thread.

Important that you read all the OP @eelfranz posts and learn his 5-Method and then master trading his 5-Method.

I trade the same 5-Method and use different indicators to pick my trades.

==============================================================

Introduction to Trading Made Simple

To learn what Trading Made Simple is, you have to follow the trading journey of the OP eelfranz aka Big E. He started as a newbie in 2008. Know the history and you will learn a lot from the OP and when you have mastered the 5-Method, you can then move on and develop your own trading system following how he did his. Many traders have moved on to trade their own systems.

Trading Made Simple for beginners : click <download>

A short history by pioneer member snarlyjack Post#110

Our late OP eelfranz aka Big E spent 6,000 hours: Post#6 and he evolved as a trader and went on and developed two trading methods.
5-Method and 21/233 Method Post#3018, Post#4104,

After months of postings and answering many frequently asked questions FAQs,
eelfranz made the jump to this new Trading Made Simple thread on 26 April 2011... Post#4432

In Post#1, he explained how he traded the H4 chart timeframe and he also traded the H1 chart during the NY session. This suited his lifestyle being retired and the time zone he lived. Sadly he passed away in Oct 2012.

Two very important posts: Post#261 and Post#647, give a simple summary of what this 5-Method is and the basic forex stuff we check before we look for the TDI setups to trade.

TMS 5-Method Basic Rules: Post#53,841
Always check the #1- Price Action first, then #2- TDI Post#3142
Big E wanted us to build this TMS thread together... Post#4,432

The original indicators and template Post#25
When you are overwhelmed (information overload) by the number of posts and the loads of information and variations shared by other traders here, the best thing to do is to stop reading and go back to the basics what Big E mentioned in his 463 posts in this thread and 861 posts in the CHS thread. First you learn and master the 5-Method first before you start add your own tweaks and make a new system.

Recommendations:
Read all of Big E posts... 861posts in the Craig Harris Stochastics thread and 463 posts in this TMS thread....and make notes on those training charts he posted. Pay attention whenever he mentioned PA and what you see on his training charts.

Post #647 Learn the basic stuff about forex trading first. A good place to start is www.babypips.com/school

If you want to trade the way Big E described in Post#1, make sure you use his template , the Synergy APB / HA candles and use that TDI Red Green version. These are in Post#25.

Important to Note that the TDI Red Green version repaints all the bars in history so you cannot use this when you do back-testing by scrolling back your charts. The better way is to run this in live market and trade the TMS setups based on what you see without refreshing your charts. When you want to trade with entries on the APB#1 and APB#2 candles, always wait for the price bar/candle to close and use the TDI to confirm the setup.

Big E was a rules-based discretionary trader. According to studies by Dr Van K Tharp this rule-based discretionary are the best traders,

Enjoy and Have fun during your learning journey...

Reply to PM.

Most PMs in recent months I received is on when to Exit trades.

In this post #2617 below , the OP has his own different ways to exit his 4Hr trades .

Quoting eelfranz
WHEN TO EXIT ----------------- OK there appears to be some confusion here... According to the rules you exit when the TDI GREEN LINE goes flat, check mark reversal or hooks over.... this is for the conserative trader and works great. However.... note the blue box on the TDI below. See how the green line archs like a worm crawling up the red line without crossing red. You could have stayed in the whole trade without exiting until green crossed red finally. {image}
However more experienced trades will learn different exit strategies and which best suit their trading styles.

very good trades.

there is Price Action and TDI confirms.

your trades reminds me of post #8906.

once you have mastered the 5-Method and know these Price Action setup conditions you will find many good trades every week.
