{quote}I don't need to re-read something I have already read. You have talked about continuation trades yes indeed you have. Does that mean all future trades shown on here need to be continuation trades? No it doesn't. You told a newish trader of this system that H1 and H4 were not in his favour. Going by all Robin Hood's indicators yes they were in his favour. HMA on both timeframes Up - ALL indicators on both charts above the 50 level - HA and APB candles on both charts Blue.
I know you love to read. But you do not have the correct attitude here.
It would better for you to re-read all over once again. This time, make sure you study what were written in the posts and with charts. Take notes of what were written in the posts and takes notes on the charts. This way you will learn more and burn them into your brain like what @eelfranz had said. Next, start demo trading and until you fully understood and developed the confidence then trade LIVE.
When you have done all these you have a good chance to trade and recover all your losses in the past 5 years.

{quote} Thank you Emmanuel for the feedback, I really appreciate it. Just to clarify on your three points: Too many indicators: The chart is using the exact template and indicators shared by Pewebly, nothing extra has been added. If that template needs to be simplified I am happy to do so, but I wanted to stay as close to what was shared as possible. The lines and teh objects are from the DrawOpen / DrawClosed Trades indicator Entry before the 5-minute candle closed I placed a BUY STOP order, not a market order, so the entry was triggered automatically...
@mazibee

I just realised you went missing after Dec 2017 and after 8 years you are here to re-start trading again.
You have missed a lot the last 8 years.

Asking for a EA as strategy tester is not going to help you catchup with the last 8 years.
Many traders in the TMS thread use Forex Tester 2.0 nd also the MT4 LFH trade simulator since 2012. The Trade Simulator provided free at FXBlue is what I have used for many years. This would serve the purpose for you to back-test your system entries and exits.
Together with few trading buddies we developed each our own tester for money management-based strategy. This is how I tested DE40 1,000 trades with risk:reward based entries and exits. This is not a trading robot EA which you are thinking of with set-files, etc.

Focus on developing your own trading system starting with the first 50 pages in this thread. Use RH' template for the start and you will learn what you had missed the last 8 years. Just focus on how to trade with template#1 , master how that work in realtime live market conditions. This is Simpler when you have mastered the original TMS method by @eelfranz. All the stuff you have below your price chart are tools to help you pick your trades. What you see on the price charts are the same in TMS and TMSr.

Don't make the same mistake many FF members made here. It is a very steep learning curve.
If you spend 5 to 8 hours every day for the next 2 to3 years, you will have the chance to succeed to Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom.

{quote} As per exit rules by Robinhood, your exit is 100% correct. By chance I was at home and watching the screen (which I normally I don't do) so partially closed 25% and moved the SL to breakeven (after 25% close and BE it was a risk free trade , when it approached 6R again after the dip. I closed 50% and after some time I closed the balance.

@mazibee

Look like you divided your initial risk into multiple exits.
You scaled your multiple exits.
You can use the THV CaveManager EA to do this for you.

IF you had used the setup with initial Stop Loss below the previous two candles, post#1,
you would have exited with better R profits.

The only point I was making was that your statement that "you did not have the 4Hr and 1Hr in your favour" doesn't appear to be correct.
You asked me to post the H1 and H4 charts, which I have done. They show the higher timeframe conditions were bullish.
Rather than making assumptions about me personally, I'd prefer to keep the discussion focused on the charts and the original subject.

@lyncc


It's fine with me you do not see what I see.
Until you have re-read, study and taken notes of Trading Made Simple(r) in the first 50 pages, you will never see what I meant in my that post.
The higher timeframes market type conditions were not bullish. You only say this after-the-fact.

{quote} Gold! Pure Gold! Thank you very much, emmanuel7788 for your contribution! This is what makes the difference and I appreciate your support! May I ask you a question - how can I mathematically separate REVERSAL and CONTINUATION trades? What is your model to run this backtest? Regards

@pewbly

I was reading your post #11681 GBPJPY and GER40 M5 trades.


I do take many m5 entries but only when I see Daily and H4 have shown True REVERSAL and CONTINUATION of the swing/trend.

Reference is RH charts in post #1.

After the CROSSOVER, I will plan add-on entries to build multiple positions.


True REVERSAL are when I see the CROSSOVER.

Risk control is key when we want to trade multiple entries after the CROSSOVER and let profits run by add-on entries .

Watch this video and work on your Money Management model.

Thanks Emmanuel, your last post actually answers what I have been asking for several exchanges i.e you and trading buddies built your own custom MM teste, that you have used to test for the 1,000 trade DE40 test, not a standard EA with set files. Had that been said from the start, I would have understood immediately and moved on.

What I originally asked for was simple, a PDF or HTML export from the Strategy Tester, literally a few clicks. Instead of a straightforward "it wasn't done in the Strategy Tester" or "I'd prefer not to share it", the conversation went into when I joined, when I disappeared in December 2017, and what I missed in 8 years, unfortunately none of which was relevant to the question.

I also want to respectfully point out that the backtest results you shared, while impressive, are incomplete information. They show that a backtest was conducted, but without knowing the exact conditions, the tool used, the entry logic, the parameters and it creates more confusion than clarity for those of us trying to learn from it. A result without context is difficult to learn from or replicate.

I understand it is a private custom tool, you do not want to share here in this forum and I will not ask again.

I genuinely do not want to start any ongoing conflict with someone as knowledgeable and generous as yourself, Emmanuel.

I am here purely to learn, and I do not want to waste any more time on this. I appreciate everything Robinhood, other senior memebrs and you contribte to this thread and I am moving on.

Thanks again for your time.

I placed a Buy Stop order and took partial profits, with the first partial close at 3R.

Looking back, if I had simply let the trade run, it could have delivered a much larger reward. But what's done is done. I know I need to develop more patience and improve my trade management. If any of the senior members have suggestions for a good trade management approach, I would really appreciate your advice.

I also have a few questions for Robinhood, if you don't mind answering.

Regarding the chart I've posted, do I need to keep these indicators attached to the chart?

If it's better to leave them on, how should I use them together with RSOR Sniper? Or do they simply provide duplicate information, making it better to remove them and keep the chart clean by focusing only on RSOR Sniper?

Robinhood, I would greatly appreciate your thoughts on this. Sorry for taking up your time, and I hope you don't mind me asking.


Thanks once again.

Hi Mazibee, congrats on the trade!


While we're waiting for @RobinHood to reply, I just wanted to share my chart.

The setup on the chart you posted is absolutely a valid way to trade this system, and it works.

I personally trade it a bit differently, so I didn't take this trade because I was still waiting for my RSOR confirmation. Here's how I look at it.
I only enter when all four conditions line up. That means I get fewer setups, but based on my manual backtesting, this approach gives me a higher win rate and better risk-to-reward. That's also why I keep an extra chart window open with two Stochastics and one RSI.
This is just the way I trade it for now.
I'm also curious to hear what RH would say.

my humble advice. you NEED!!!! to start mastering the RSOR (the original RSO (8-3-3 and 34-10-3 stochs) and the new RSI introduced in post #11434). You will only need that, you can forget about the TMMS one or the original oscilators from post #1. this thread has evolved a lot and i'd say RH's decades of experience are "comprised" in that RSOR indicator.

if you master RSOR, your entry would be on red circle (which was your second entry - Great!) and your exit was on the yellow circle. i'd say a 3R trade is fantastic, you don't need more, but this indicator will help you let your winners run and make more money. You will see it won't just help you to find entries and exits, you can also build a trade management system 100% based on RSOR, because it will cut your losers soon, and make magic with your winners.

Thanks Pewbley for your reply
I am thinking the RSOR Sniper already have these
Stochatics Settings
8,3,3 Exponential
34, 10,3 Exponential
RSI of EMARSI(4) applied to EMA(14) values — smoother RSI

In addition we have added ( that seems a duplication to me)
Stochastics: 14,3,3 MA Method 2 (SMMA), Price 0 (Close)
Stochastics: 8,3,3 MA Method 2 (SMMA), Price 0 (Close)
RSI:14

Thanks for your valuable suggetsions , I will try to trade based on RSOR,

I have never coded before but with these modern AI tools like Claude etc which are getting better and better every day, I will try to give few prompts to see what happens.
Pewebley, vave you tried to make a dashboard scanner? I was reading old posts and found that senior member and professional coder SwingMan has made and shared few dashboards in this thread but I think with the passage of time they have not been updated as the code was not shared.

Thanks StonebankS1,

I have just replied back to pewebly in the above psost and was of the view that RSOR is giving enough information mastering RSOR and understanding that alone will be more beneficial and the chart will be less cluttered too.

Thanks for the wonderful suggestion.

Such an amazing thread, full of wonderful and experienced traders.
