Hi Phx62

I remember the 23:00 EJ candle from Friday - it reached R1 which was my trade target. I think you may have included the wrong screenshot for this morning's trade as tenmilewalk noticed.

He didn't include the wrong screenshot, I took the same trade....practically the same as I am with IBFX and it opens an hour later, still managed to get 35 pips though so I know his is right. mine was taken just after the IBFX opened at 22:00 gmt look at the time on the horizontal line in his screenshot he is gmt +3 his trade was taken 20 minutes earlier than mine.

{quote} tscheulaling, I am not sure of your problem with the backtesting. The tester template you need to create using TMS template and saved that with 'tester' that will be seen in your mt folder as 'tester.tpl' The EA back tester will automatically use the template 'tester' when it starts. But if you cannot dwownload and copy the EA to your mt4 expert folder, then it may be a different problem. Let me know if this is the case. I like your devotion of 5 to 6 hours per days. That is really necessary when you want to learn to trade. There are many...
thanks emmanuel,

i have solved the EA backtester problem. i had a wrong tdi name (without underscores between the words). i will learn and work through different TMS information sources the coming weeks. when i have done this i will make a trade plan en foreward test manually. like you said, it has to work for me. in the meantime i will do some realtime trading on a demo platform to get a feel. of the things i am learning.
maybe later i can give a more substantive contribution to this thread. lets hope so because then i am doing well. LOL

Finally seeing lots of pips following Big E's original system... It's on demo, but still, is the first time I've ever seen positive pips like this on my own account.
Thank you, TMS.
Thank you, Big E.
And thank you phx62, I've learned so much from your posts from the pdf.

12 hr chart. Entered all trades today, some on this bar, some on previous bar, all based on TDI cross.
UJ +48 pips
GJ +41 pips
AU +43 pips
EJ +47 pips

1 hr chart XAU USD. (Is it ok to talk about this pair in this thread?)
Now +68 pips
I backtested entering purly on TDI cross and got 8 wins, 3 small loses, 3 BE.
The gold's graph turned out to be very easy to trade, at least in the past 2 weeks.
Very nice wave with clear TDI crosses. Missed the big move this morning, TDI already crossed up since Saturday.
If I had had entered long on that cross, man, can only imagined the pips I'd made

I see the problem. My chart has one extra candle on Friday evening compared to Phx62's

Thanks for clearing that up lastingwell.

evilmechy,

I had to cut loss too with this H1 setup.

you are correct that this H1 setup is countertrend so there is risk. The H1 setup was good with PA and TDi cross.


the trade setup was very quickly invalidated at the second candle after Tokyo close. the risk was also the Prevd D Fib 50% and Weekly Pivot 0.9192 CONFLUENCE ...which held on pretty well as support for H4 trading.

as I had mentioned, the 2 hours where the Tokyo session and London session overlaps is tricky and after Tokyo close, the London session will dictate the day' move.

the other point i often make is to have a Plan A and a Plan B. This is important especially when we take countrend setups. when the counter trend trade hit tp or get stopped out or when there is trade invaildation, we activate Plan B.

Now we see the Weekly Pivot play in 4H swing trading.

Good Trading.

regards,
EMMANUEL

folks,

that tab "Code Base" will send you deep into cyber world of mql4 ...

there is no need to go that far, everything which is required to trade TMS is in this thread.

of course unless you have time like I do to explore mql4 cyber world, by all means go there.... ither's lots of fun there for mql4 programmers.

hi tscheu,

you are most welcome.

realtime demo forward testing is an effective way to learn and practice.
do as many demo trades as possible , you will learn and experience how the market works.
you will learn from every trade - win or loss.
after 100 trades, we can evaluate your results and make fine tuning where necessary.

- you will see how many trades run in your favour and how you manage your exits, moving SL, etc. This are outright winners, where your SL was never tthreaten.

- you will also see how many trades were outright losers, this means market turn against you inmmediately after your entry and you had no chance even to move your SL. This are the type of losers which you must learn more from.

- you will also see how many trades were profitable with partial exits (scale out) then market retrurn and stopped you out at breakeven BE...partial winners

the percentages of outright winners, partial winners and outright are important to know before you decide and start to trade live with real money.

Good Trading going forward.

regards,
EMMANUEL

mmhasan,

to learn TMS, you must read all the 463 posts made by the thread starter and owner, eelfranz aka Big E.

the TDI indicator is in the attachment in this thread. Just use the default setting.

as you read the rest of this thread, you will come across attachments. The attachments are useful additional information to know.

you will also need to have good basic forex trading knowledge, babypips School of Pipsology is a good place to study and graduate.

Good journey.
