ok, we have Big Picture planning done for EU.

you can now continue and practice the steps 1 to 5.

After this, you should work out your TMS 4H Trade Plan for EU next.

Talk later when NY open in about 8 hours...

Do you know how to post a chart and let us here have a look to see if you have the TMS chart setup correctly.
Thank you.

Here is my first attempt at doing the Big Picture eurjpy {image} {image} {image}

Hi redfan

Thank you for sharing your EJ Big Picture.

I had several posts made on EJ and market type last week.

The current wave is a little too steep for a rising channel for market to continue without a correction. But we just wait and see how each day will play out.

I see EJ breaking out ot the Contracting Triangle market type and will likely continue in a wider range consolidation like an Expanding Triangle wave pattern...until the next trend move.


Trade Well.

emmanuel, any indicator used to show S&R and PSAR ? if so can you upload it por favor !

rxJano,

For historical S&R on MN and W1 I do those manually as described above posts on Big Picture.

For D and W . I use the Fib tool and draw the previous D and W fibo levels.

PASR is an acronym for Price Action at Support and Resistance. PA is a very wide topic.
For me, PA I use Candlestick pattern to look for potential trade setups and in combination with TMS 4H setups.
I use only a few CS patterns - IB, DIB, Pop Gun, DBLHC, DBHLC, BUOB, BEOB. From my experience trading TMS, these are sufficient to get into the market on breakouts and continuation of a trending move.

To learn CS patterns, go to this website:
http://thepatternsite.com/CandleEntry.html

You can also search for Steve Nison materials.

Doing my usual post mortem of previous week charts, here is this example of why we must look for only A+++ trades setups.

This CHFJPY looks like a good 4H TMS setup with TDI cross, APB changed colour candle #1 and #2, Stoch confirms, ...
but PA and historical S&R, and the use higher TF BIAS with Previous Price Action (PPA) and TDI/Price Divergence will clearly show you why this is a high risk trade.

Do your own back-testing and studies and make out all the high probability setups and use them for future trading.

{quote} Emmanuel, This is the first time I've come across someone who trades similarly to a system I have developed. I hope you manage to finalise your TP and SL because I'm yet to find anything more reliable and simple to implement. NineKaye

Hi NineKaye,

Well, its good know that we trade in similar way.
I am sure you agree with me that to make money from the market, we must be in the market.
Trading is after all about Entry and Exits.

As Dr Van Tharp puts it: <quote>

“There are many different classifications of exits other than your initial stop loss. These include exits that produce a loss but reduce your initial risk, exits that maximize profits, and exits that keep you from giving back too much money, and psychological exits.”

"If you want to maximise profits, you must be prepared to give up 50% of what the market gave you"

- quotes by Dr Van Tharp author of books:

Super Trader,

Trade Your Way to FinancialFreedom

Trading Beyond the Matrix


But there are different methods in the managing trade exits. I prefer to let the market decide on the final TP which often is above +5R when market starts trending.
The downside protection is something which we can consider what would work best for us individually.
I have the R-multiple trade management and also the percentage protection methods.
I have used both methods to manage my swing trades quite effectively. The good things about both these methods can work together and one can switch from one to the other depending on the prevailing market conditions.

Below is an example of a GJ trade done last week and left open over the weekend.

"If you want to maximise profits, you must be prepared to give up 50% of what the market gave you"

I believe take profits will be the hardest hurdle for any new traders finally coming into profitability.

I am one for an R-Multiple exit strategy because its easy to understand. I tried and failed when it came to trailing stops or even taking partial profits.


Looking at your GBPJPY trade I would have been out a 2R Max most likely 1R like yourself.

Being conservative does hold higher probability for hitting your target. This is a probabilities game after all.

I like your work!

emmanuel7788 i have a question.. why use a 5ma on a 4h TF ? is this a scalping system ?
can just remove 5EMA as it's from BigE's old system, it's a stronger signal if the close of the candle is below 5EMA anyway.

if want to see H4 trend, I'd suggest 89EMA or 60EMA instead.
back... and more dangerous.
