It is really very simple. Yes, we wait for TDI's signal and confirm it looking at stochastic. But what is much more important - BigE recommended to look for the best setups available, and stochastic helps us to find them. For example: if TDI was above 68 and now is going down AND stochastic was above 80 and now is going down - that's an ideal setup. If TDI was below 32 and now is going up AND stochastic was below 20 and now is going up - that's an ideal setup.
It is necessary to wait for the candle closing or no?

eelfranz discused this problem many times,
if you have first signal candle with new colour and piercing TDI and direction confirmed by STOCH, you are taking position on opening of the next (secound) candle, -- it is a basic rule

Short if price can reach down to 2960 and next candle, 150mins left, is red. 2 TP targets marked by horizontal line as in chart. (TP1 is daily support as well as 60EMA. TP2 is daily support.)

Any comment is appreciated and welcome.

Hi ALL,

Just found some free time to read this week's posts.
There are some new traders to TMS and the same a few basic questions asked repeatedly like before.
The commom FAQ is the setup and entry candle.
FAQ1: Do I wait for candle to close?
FAQ2: Can I enter during a candle, for e.g. during candle no.2?

Fact is , trading TMS requires some discretion. The discretion comes from your experience from doing back-testing and from live realtime trading practice. Eric talked about PA and Supp/Res quite often in the past also during the CH 5-Method days. He rarely shows Supp/Res on his training charts.

Here chart below I will use the 4H entry method to explain a few recent setups and how these could have been traded if you were watching your charts every 4-hours.

Remember this: You will only see when you know exactly what you are looking for. Don't even try to think and imagine things which are not there in your charts. Your mind play games with your eyes when you stare too long at your charts.
Take a break, walk away fromyour charts. Know exactly what you are looking for.
Trade what you see and not what you think you see.
It is that easy but yet very hard to do.
Be DISCIPLINE, if not then the market will discipline you.

Week 15 comment:
The market is flooded with liquidity after what the BOJ did last week. THis is good for us trading this week 15. But trade the smart way i.e. the simple way using TMS and learn PA and Supp/Res. Learn and accept the fact that you must cut loss sometime and by all means cut loss willingly and take loses small 10-20pips. And always be prepared and ready to take the turnaround trade.

Trade Well.

Hello Emmanuel; Could you give me your opinion on HA Eur / Usd now end of the first blue candle H4 3rd blue candle daily H1 can be rebound at 50rsi problem is the time I do not take signals just before New york session {image}
http://www.forexfactory.com/attachme...1&d=1364990450

Hi thomi,

very sorry I was not online much these days and missed answering your post.

just to comment: when we trade the 4H period, the PA using APB is very important. whether or not to take a trade close to NY open depends on the volatility of the 4H market periods. If there is consolidation, then I like that. If there is any key data release during the US session, I will stay out until after the data release and the 'dust has settled' and I need to see a clear picture. If there is a breakout potential, I may consider getting in early before the news time and there must be room to protect/BE trade before that time comes.

Trade Well.

Support @ 1.24930?
Day chart suggests a recent break from a downward channel so potentially against the trend.
I thought according to the rules we wait for a colour change and enter on candle 1 or 2.

hey emmanuel, do you draw the support and resistance manually or do you have an indicator for it? if you do please attach it

Hi ryan,

I draw all key historical support and resistance manually using weekly and monthly close price, ..i.e. line chart will show the close prices.
very clearly.

You can read more on how to draw historical support and resistance at babypips.com

yes, Big E H4 rules are very simple and clear.

looking at EURAUD, the higher TFs - D and W are not in favour of sell. But .... let the market show us the way this week.
We must learn to be PATIENT and be DISCIPLINE in this.


Caution with Aussie going forward from this week.
Aussie is will be traded directly with China CNY so we should expect to see more liquidity in buying and selling of AUD.
This can be another opportunity for AUD pairs movements.

Trade Well.
