How about not jamming up this thread with crap about the skype room. One person work it out and post instructions once so others can join. Its hard enough for all of us especially the new people trying to keep up with this thread without posts asking for skype addresses and other rubbish.
This thread is about trading....stick to it please.

Excuse my ignorance, I am new to this after all, but haven't you gone in a bit late with that short?

This, just add the room mod yourself instead of begging for an invite....

Plus there already was a skype room (with big E in it)

Milton, I'm long on the 4 hour EURUSD chart since previous bar. I considered the 1.4160 area as a pretty strong supportarea, and was looking for long trades here. However, I'm taking some heat in this trade. My stop is based on the LL of the 3 last bars including the triggerbar. Looking for a potential target at 1.4350 area.

Yes. The open of the entry candle is 1.4174, my entry was at 1.4169 (-3 pips spread = 1.4166). These 5 pips difference were due to the quick moving of the price at the moment of my entry. Until my broker had filled the order, 5 pips were away. Each time you enter while price is moving, FXSolutions takes enormously time to fill.

Yes, finnbjurvoll. Perhaps you are right. I didn't look at the bigger picture like you. I thought, that this last swing (red arrow) was a retrace from a previous resistance zone (white arrow to the left). And I thought, that there is enough room to run to the previous swing low (blue arrow).

I mean't in general. Shouldn't you have entered on the first candle instead of second/third when green first dipped below red on TDI?

Not trying to criticize you, but I figure it's best to ask questions to understand this better.

Yes, looks like the supportarea will break now. I guess the 1 hour pattern can also be a kind of Head & Shoulder pattern combined with a TDI cross. Your trade is doing much better than mine at the moment. Good luck

Ok firstly you shouldnt be advising Milton on his trade becasue if you have actually gone long on the EU your trade has absolutely zero connection with this method.
Milton...I dont wish to advise but the signal for this was short.....you are correct and I would feel much safer going short...in fact I am short the AU and already up 58 pips from the 1 hour chart...I entered last candle (not current one).
If anyone here is entering trades because they see support or any other entry signal they perceive as a good trade BUT has nothing to do with this system...DONT POST it..and DONT advise others who are using and trying to learn this method.
Milton ...you are correct in your trade summation...but only you can pull the trigger...its your call.

No. Big E's rule is, when green crosses red, wait until the candle closes and enter at the open of the next (if 1st or 2d candle).

Ah, cheers mate. I really need to get through the rest of this thread. I've probably missed some bits.

Ok, sorry. It was not ment as advice, I just posted my trade and my observations. I thought the thread was about learning a method. What do you mean when you say that it has no connection whith this method? Is it because I use a different platform and feed that may give me different signals then MT4 setup? Or is it because I use regular candles instead of HA bars? About S/R levels, eelfranz pointed this aout in several post, the importance of looking to the left to find important sr levels.

I have been looking at the 4h chart, why you have been long and effectively, there was no signal to go long, like dean said in his post to you. I also trade another method in addition to Trading Made Simple (where I entered short today on eurgbp, actually +40 pips), but I would never mix the 2 method. Trading Made Simple is proven successful, so it is better to not add or change anything. Good luck for you.

I am just waiting to see what the current candle in 1H GBPUSD does. Looks like it's going to bounce off red TDI.

I didnt get any confirmation to buy either, TDI didnt make a break to the upside..... I think thats what dean is saying
