IMO: big candles, TDI crosses / bounces, no support/resistance.
Status of the trades I entered yesterday

  1. Four of eight positive
  2. One trade broke even (EURHKD)
  3. Three of eight are negative

I believe after trading on the shorter term I am ready to step up with the BIG BOYs and trade the DAILY. My computer skills are lacking in as much as there is no way for me to post a chart. I just do not know how & at my age if it is too difficult I may not want too anyway. BUT I will share my points of entry, exit, SL, TP etc. Just wanted you to know I am in on the DAily thing. Lets all work together as much as possible & get them PIPS. By the way I am from USA, east coast, North Carolina which I believe is about GMT-6hrs - London opens for...
You are GMT -5 right now. Who's your broker?
If you want to pick up a lot of pips..... Hedge my trades!

Why is a seperate thread needed for daily trades? The strategy is exactly the same whether it's hourly or a weekly time frame. I think it will just confuse newcomers that daily is somehow different when it's not.

Just my 2 cents

I think having a daily thread is a good idea.That way the people that do can have a place where thats all we talk about.We can post charts and compare notes and discuss trades we took and didnt take amongst each other.Kinda like a team thing.Me personally i am committed to only daily charts so im not really interested in hearing about other time frames.No offense or anything.

Closed EURSGD (-50), EURUSD (-25) and USDCHF (-30).
TDI's went flat on those trades (see screenshots).

EURSGD: Incorrect trade in the first place. TDI bounced up instead of crossdown.
EURUSD: Just the time of year I guess.. No volume.
USDCHF: Weak entry candle in retrospect.

Left four trades open (GBPNZD-short, GBPUSD-short, GBPJPY-short and EURJPY-short). In their current state, they compensate the three losers.

Not partying yet; just timid; waiting for the charts to look more "normal".

OK - against my better judgement I have started the thread following the numerous requests from the day chart die-hards.

I will update post #1 periodically as relevant info becomes available as well as any chart set ups that are valid.

Anyone not using TDI as an indicator will probably get blocked as will anyone currently on my ignore list. Looking forward to seeing where this one goes.

Please keep the newbie questions to other threads or at leat use the search function or maybe even Google it - I have little tolerance for folks that refuse to do the ground work - as you will have seen from my previous TMS posts!

hi all,

great to see sharing around. I believe every1 knows the TMS method. Thus, shall not elaborate more on it. Thanks to elfranz and others who refined the method along the way.

The more ppl using TMS method, the more probablility of hits 1 will get when we trade TMS method.

Most of my bigger losses are because i didnt stick to the rules and try to time the market and thought it will go my way.

Rmb to stick to rules and use stop loss along the way if not monitoring tight, the big pips will roll in eventually and cover up the losses.

Example:
5 small losses
1 big win cover the losses and bring in minor profits.

Cheers and stick to the rules.

Recent trade taken from TDI cross on EURUSD 1H.

Market was slow, but I had other "indications" that the EURO was heading south.

Also, recent fundamentals of EURO has been negative.
