Hi guys - my 1st post this thread. Have reached page 80 so huge way still to go. Without the benefit of knowing what the rest of the thread includes, is the original setup still being followed. I can see many positives with it but it would be a pity and a huge waste of my time continuing with the reading if the system has been altered etc. Any comments ??

I can't think of a single system on FF that does not get altered as the thread continues. A system as simple as this one could not possibly have such a huge thread without going through significant alteration. Most of the time, though, the alterations do not bring significant improvements to the trading results, and such is the case here. So the bottom line is that, yes, the original plan still works.

Furthermore, the alterations that do work normally spin off into separate spreads. Thus, if you are interested in variations that do work, simply put "Trading Made Simple" in the search engine on this site, and go to the first page of the different threads that come up. Doing this will basically allow you to see and test profitable variations of the TMS system without reading through the entire original thread.

Entries and exits...

We Enter a trade when green crosses red on the TDI at the beginning of that candle... If it's candle 3 or more don't enter... find another trade set up. The only exception is if green bounces off red and continues... it's ok to re-enter on the bounce...

Hi!
I'm a bit confused.
What do you mean by the 3rd candle? 3rd from when it changes color?

Hi!

When the TDI cross occurs, that is candle # 1

The expectations for APB is that you will get between 3 to 8 candles of the new colour, so by the time you hit the 3rd candle after the tdi cross, you may have missed the move.

My preference is to wait for the colour change to confirm the move, but that depends on your trading style.

Hi Binnie,

Such a simple system will always be valid. You need to be disciplined to trade a simple system like this one.
Learning to trade requires lots hardwork and sacrifice to achieve the success we all want. It will not be a waste of time, and in fact I took time and go through this thread and learned a lot from it. I also learned that I neeed to unlearn a lot of other stuff from previous years of trading.
A few very committed members have contributed here and these contributions are very valuable.

hi all!

This indicator is so awesome. I've just started demo trading on it and at first, I was losing money because I wasn't setting stop losses and was interfering too much so what I did was to open a position and minimize the trading platform.
Now, I'm doing much better. Making 4 successive trades so far.

Btw, take a look at the chart. Would you have closed the position?

Hi Buddy,

On the 5 min TF, you will be getting too much noise and fake outs. Best to stick to the 1TF and above for better result.

Hi,
Just to share this USDCHF trade today.
Was watching this since last week, and waited for a good high probability setup. Thought this maybe it. So let market decide.

Feel free to comment and discuss.
Thank you.

Thanks Emm (if you don't object to short version of your name -lol).Your response to my query is appreciated. I have spent many enjoyable hours reading this thread & am up to P210. I will continue to the end. I am using Ninja Trader as well as MT4 with this system and must admit it is exciting to be part of this Simple System kindly started by E. This daily chart of yours looks good to me - I see you do not have the Stoch shown but you are using the Midline on the TDI. I will drag up my charts to see if I can confirm what yours look like - bearing in mind I am in NZ with different providers. I do have a couple of questions if you wouldn't mind - can I send you an email perhaps? Cheers.

Thanks Emm, Nothing brewing on my 4hrly yet but these 3 are looking promising. Do you stay away from those where stochs & TDI are in overbought / sold areas. Are any of these likely in your opinion.
Personally I thought the AU was promising for next bar open.

The trades were good In my opinion and the Euro especially was a good result. Generally , the Pound & Euro can run together but perhaps that was an exception today because of a long weekend In both UK and US.
Not 100% sure but could be good reason why Pound was sideways.
Good result all the same

My apologies - I meant to say Europe and NOT UK.

Hi FxLapozi,

notice this is your first post.

.tpl are chart templates and these go to folder
Crogram FilesInterbank FX Trader 4templates

there are tutorials on MT4 at one of their website:
http://www.ibfx.com.au/Platform/Forex-Trading-Platform

also when you launch MT4, there is a UserGuide under Help menu.
look under the content " working with charts" > templates and profiles.
