Hi,

I have just made my second trade using TMS, is this a valid entry? what do you think?
TDI and price action is too flat. Wait until new year if I was you.

You have a good cross but I think most of us would avoid trading in a flat market as seen on your chart even if this were a normal trading week ie Nov. or the coming Jan. And I would hesitate too because of the stochastic reading. Just my own opinion.

if I were you I would just trade in start of London session and until end of London session. Do not trade on holiday. I will also investigate more once upon a time when I was more junior I couldnt make this system work. Now I am bit more experienced I will investigate this more. Hope it works.

1. Who says you have to trade 1 Standard Lot every trade?

2. Yes, you have to learn....

3. What you have to learn is POSITION SIZING

4. http://www.earnforex.com/position-size-calculator

Great Tool. Thanks for posting. I was getting tired of working it out on my calculator before entering each trade depending on where my stop was to be placed.

Hey king, any details on the trades you've taken?

Various pairs have developed some big candles (mostly shorts) today, both crosses and bounces.
I'm thinking about taking some trades in 2 hours when new D1 candles are formed.

Do you start with an initial stop above the previous candle when short and vice versa when long?

Good candles (100+ pips sized), TDI crosses, no immediate support levels..

Thanks for your helpful posts. Easy to understand and follow.

Somehow, can't locate "Polynomial Regression Channel" in my MT4 Indicators.

Could it be listed under some other name ?

Thanks in advance.
