Hey folks in Asia Pacific...Moin Moin Looks like some of my Aussie friends are up early today. Is it day-off or holiday long weekend? Wait till when I get home and we shall be in the same time zone.
Good morning emmanuel,

It's a lovely day in Oz and sun is shining so brightly.... I check the charts after NY close to see what has happend over the night. Sometimes I trade early NY session then close the trade or put it on trailing stop to close itself.

It's another working day here and it's pitty we couldnt have friday off .....

I enjoy your inputs on TMS trades.

Before I hit the roads after after this pit stop, I want to post the GEM of Week 17. GBPUSD - channel breakout: See chart for details. Question: (refer to the chart below), That candle#8 is the strong breakout candle when the UK GDP data release earlier. Only those who traded the 4H early would have stayed in the trade and rode the breakout. Candle#8 broke out of the H4 channel, what else did than candle#8 do? You answer is important for next week trading. The chart below has a few good lessons for PA trading with TMS 4H. Hope you will pick up some...
Candle 8 close was above the strong resistance line. Bull definately were in charge here.

Hi mate,

If I drop a message in a bottle today in the North Pacific Ocean off the US westcoast, and I address to Maroubra Bay beach, how long will that take to reach? That may work in 2 weeks? ...hmmmmm

Cheers!

Emmanuel, you got a PM

you sent me PM? which one? I prefer a lot more John Howard if I had another choice again. But Julia Gillard is doing what she can. All I want is Aussie interest rate back to 4.5%....and Yen remains at 0%

will reply you later.

Hi Nellycopter, Sorry it is not much related with the thread but it is my way of using tma, maybe it could be help of newbies. I made those arrows and lines for you to see better, not an indi.18 shows the trend direction and you look for trades in that direction.If 18 is showing south you only look for shorts , if it is showing north you only look for longs, if it is flat you pass. When using emas 3 and 18 , it will be easer to follow the continuations and reversals and you will confirm your tdi cross with a 3 & 18 cross.Sometimes crosses make you...

Okan,

Thanks for sharing this. You got me thinking this whole week the 3/18EMA thingy.
Just realised what Daryll Guppy' book on using GMMA. That works too.

Now, I see 18EMA actually is a sort of view of the next higher TF trend. ...the Primary Trend.
3EMA is the current trend on 4H ... the Internediate Trend.

What we all want is to trade that Trend of that Moment when in 4H, and when we are in the direction of the Primary Trend, we msut take advantage and ride that Primary Trend ... 'Let Proft Run"

The challenge for new 4H traders is to determine the Primary Trend and the Intermediate Trend.

Short term day traders can trade H1 the Short Term trend in both ways. That requries special skills.

Thanks Okan,

Regards,

Yes sir, you are right, gmma also works.Knowing the primary trend is also very important.1h traders could use 12 & 72 emas and they will see it works perfect too.
The important thing is the direction of 18, 3 & 18 cross and 1 candle momentum bar rejections from 18 and continuations with 3 .
Thank you for the vouch Sir , it is an honour.

Regards,

Okan

okanemici, at times TMS already crossed few bars before 3 crosses 18 back, are you suggesting to wait for 3 crossing 18 and only then enter?

then we may have late entries on 3rd or 4th candle.....please explain...

Hi driven,

I use ATR(7) for my T/P levels because it gives me a consistent number to set them based on previous price action movement.
I had about 14 trades total last week + this week and all of them hit T/P 1.
About 70-80% hit T/P 2 and the rest went back to BE.
(I move them to BE after T/P 1 is hit)
For S/L preferably I'd put it at the previous swing high/low, or ATR(7)x2, whichever is nearer to my entry.
Like dcgnic said in his posts it is a very low maintenance money management system.
But that's just my style...
Do read dcgnic posts for more insights into this MM strategy.

Hope that helps!

I think with the help of BOJ, it will meet 150.22. As seen on your chart, it's bouncing off strong resistance. TDI cross down.

See my post yesterday when I short at 153.20 or so.

sell limit hit. SL 154.10 TP 151.09 let fall GJ, my original target was 148 but the GBP news just changed my plan...
back... and more dangerous.
