{quote} I took the GU H4 setup. :-) Price was below TTF and HTF trend lines, bearish TDI cross happened within the range 32 and 68, bearish HA candle, so I entered. I set my TP very conservatively (again) to the last swing low. It is interesting to recognize the the price reached the Fib 127% level of the previous week. take care, thrax {image}
Can you tell me what is the indicator who shows arrows when there is a cross on the TDI please?

This is the TMS-OSC Cross 1.05 indicator. I like it because it draws an arrow when a TDI cross occures and moreover you can set it not to draw an arrow if the cross is below 32 or above 68 avoiding false signals. Hope it helps.

Just starting out here with this system. Love it a lot !!!

I opened 8 trades last night all at 4 hour tf 0.01 lot
aud/usd = 4 long @.9080 80 pip +
eur/aud= 2 short @ 1.4300 130 pip + (closed way too early)


eur/usd= 1 short @ 1.3000 I closed voluntarily about 1 or 2 pip against me...

and the same with these other ones... closed myself
nzd/jpy= 1 short ( 25 pip loss )
nzd/usd= 1 short (here got a 30 pip loss ehh)
aud/nzd= 1 long (13 pip + )
usd/chf = 1 long( tiny profit as well )
gbp/usd= 1 short ( 10 pip +, massive fail!! :O)


I had gbp/usd right until 30 min before the news and wasn't feeling great about, and closed before news... and missed the drop

Closed the eur/usd as well for the same reason....

But kept the eur/aud because aud was doing good every where, and was in profit ..



Fucking news make me nervous, the thing is if am not in some profit before news, i just exit.

The TMS-Oscillator cross as posted does not work - click on it, or drag it on a chart - nothing happens. As if it is dead.

I see you attempt a continuation trade with that breakout H4 candle with a retracement entry on M15. This is what I call a fib38/50 entry and with PA confirmation. But you chose the worst time of the day to trade - right after London close and it is US bank holiday.
The trading hours after London close are usually slow and liquiidty is much lower. Best for lower TF trades like scalping.

You use use PA with 10EMA, but what happen to the APB on your chart?

If this is your actual trading chart, then in my opinion, there are too many things on it and that make trading decision to difficult. Try simply it and less clutter.
When we trade 4H - we need only the 5EMA with TDI and APB on H4. The Stochastic 8,3,3 is optional but it is good for new traders.

But all means use Triple Screen technique which helps new traders to see multiple timeframe Price Action.

Hi blazingheart,

Nice H1 trade .. good profit 78pips.

That double bottom looks like daily and weekly exhaustion for EU having dropped that much this week. Let's keep track of this one today to see how it will drop further to 1.2850. We have now 1.2930above support turned resistance.

Good Trading!

Hi mm2mm,

First WELCOME to TMS!
I love this too like many folks here. So I stick around longer than many others.

Surely you traded too many pairs at same time which can be dangerous but with experience you can handle that sort of market condition when correlated pairs went against one another.
You played it safe and closed some trades before the news which is a good thing. No regrets because that your own rule which you have discipline to follow your own rules.

Please post some charts along so it can help other new traders to learn from your experience.

Good Trading.

EMMANUEL

You are absolutely right about the time Emmanuel.I had that in mind but I wanted to test the system in the worst condition

Actually wasn't bad.

Regarding platform I am working on it but sorry for this busy platform.Will be fixed soon

After yesterday post above, the weaker Euro caused a 310pips drop.
There was a nice 4H entry with IB beakout and PA breaking the current week 27 low and now make a new week low.
Expect some retracement today.

Keep following this to see if this correction of the weekly trend will turn into a bearish reversal in the coming weeks.
W1 IB in view.

Historical Support and Resistance:

Here is an example using EURNZD how I draw support and resistance using Monthly and Weekly Close price swing points.

The idea to use Line chart is taught in babypips.com School of Pipsology .

When trading on the H4 chart TF, I use the Prev Week Fib retracements and also the Week OHLC with the Round Number price levels.

looking for CONFLUENCE of the historical S&R with Prev W Fib, W1 OHLC, RN and look for Price reaction around these S&R region is key to get high probability trade entries.

Trade Well.

Hey emmanuel778! thanks a lot. I will be sticking with this for long time as well .

I did trade too many pairs that's for sure. I don't normally do that but I saw many good signals and was only using micro lot. So I said hey, if I'm losing here I'll just close them early and continue with the ones that I am wining. e.g nzd/jpy & nzd/usd were losing so i just dumped them very early and minimized loses as they started to go north!


I read the the Best of BigE pdf which helped greatly

I put two charts here that I had the most winnings....!
aud/usd
eur/aud

both very strong signals, but exited the e/a too early as I am very cautious with news releases. As long as I got some extra pips on my already winning position I'm good! I don't really know how to trade news anyway, I have been burned few times so I get nervous.

Had shorts on both gbp/usd and eur/usd, but they showed no movement when they should have fallen a bit , so I was a bit worried + major news . I kept these for ~8 hours and no action! so I just closed them. When the news came they both dropped massively, but I don't care too much since I was winning on other pairs.


Right now I'm trying to get used to longer time frames (4 h +)
