Hi guys, i've read the majority of the thread, and i've seen some backtest screenshots. Can we confirm this is a profitable system overall? Just by trading like this, last swing before session's open {image}
Attached a couple of my markups from this morning. GU ran really nicely but it was a bit early and a big rejection. GJ is currently at breakeven. I'm constantly re-reading the thread thanks to the great pdf zychko made, and fiddling with 4hr support and zones to try find the most accurate areas
you'll get out what you put in.

{quote} Hi EM, May I ask that how do you incorporate this strategy with TMS? If there's no Rob's setup after an hour from open and there's a TMS 1H setup, would you trade TMS setup instead or do you wait for another 30m and still look for Rob's setup?
hi @zkchyo
First, both Rob and I were trading TMS for many years going back to 2015.
TMS for many who have started in 2010 would have learned that it is basically trading the 5-Method which is predominantly Price Action trading and using oscillators to look for trade setups. @eelfranz aka Big E started with using the Stochastics, then he added the Traders Dynamic Index, both are technical studies oscillators and work well in range bound market type conditions. This 'system' worked very well back in 2008 till 2010 when Big E was trading. However, recent years market volatility has changed and we do not get those 200 pips to 300 pips trades anymore.
Big E' TMS 5-Method is based on Price Action - price swings and reversal entries which we can filter using Stoch(8,3,3) and TDI signals.
Rob has gone one step further being more aggressive with his 'rejection' candle at support and resistance.
Big E' TMS 4Hr is less aggressive because setups are based on oscillators signals for confirmation.
For me I look at the 4Hr and Daily Price Action. SnR levels are always there BUT I look at the lower timeframes where the 'rejection' can occur. For example, a Daily 'rejection' will provide the lower timeframe swings for reversals.
For example EURNZD today.
Daily looks like it is trending BUT if we look at the Daily candles, it is in consolidation.
This is when I would use M30 for possible setups to pick a possible breakout.

Yesterday was not the best day BUT closing the trade before the New York session was the right decision.

For example, Gold on 4H. We can see an impulse and pullback on 4H. Then it gives us a hint to go long.
Then, on LTF, we are long only and we could trade from the level if there's a good rejection candle or any continuation setup on 15m/30m/1H?

{quote} Thanks for your reply. You take hints from HTF such as 1D or 4H and take trades on LTF which must align with HTF, right? For example, Gold on 4H. We can see an impulse and pullback on 4H. Then it gives us a hint to go long. {image} Then, on LTF, we are long only and we could trade from the level if there's a good rejection candle or any continuation setup on 15m/30m/1H?
My view now at London 10am.
- this 4Hr trade window London 10am till 2pm we shall see if there is possible buy entry

What do you think about this one?
15m timeframe, we have a potential retest on the gray zone.
UPDATE: There's no rejection on this zone at 15m. I'm watching 30m now. Many rejections from the level but no impulse pullback trade opportunity.

EURNZD Mar 26 London 11am UPDATE:

- now to look for a sell entry maybe worth a try
