jcvmw,

Excellent pdf attachment.
This will help many who still have not understood the TDI in greater depth.
Thank you very much.

Hi Emmanuel The market is ranging. Are there any trades you have entered and presently running? If so can you please post them with chart to understand. Thanks. Fx..
Fx-optimus,

It is Friday and I usually do not open new 4H swing trades on Fridays because I do not like to hold trades over the weekend.
Many of you already spotted that market is ranging pretty much sideways for most pairs, that only make sense to go lower timeframe and scalp for few pips.

{quote} Hello, Adam, How do you rate A+ setups, A++ and A+++ setups? Maybe its all on the surface in this thread, but i am curious of your vision. Thx.

SergFX,

There is no A+ or A++ setups. ...

I coined that A+++ trade setup thing. .. to mean PASR and TMS to give higher probability trade setups, and you build your edge trading using proven money management, risk management, position sizing, R-Muitlple trade management, Multiple Entries / Multlple Exits as components of the your own trading system.
The other trading system component is the trader being part of the success equation. The trader' mental fitness is the biggest of all the other components.

Hi, I see a Bearish Outside Bar 'BEOB' on the EU H4. Normaly a sell sign. {image}
On a Friday it is more than likely profit taking before close of market. Watch for Market Open and see where PA heads after the initial gap, or wait until volume picks up at LO.

{quote} Hi FXPP, Your nearly there...but its not daily TDI you should look at for trend bias....PA might be a good idea as TDI is a lagging indicator (price has already given us much of the info before we see a TDI cross...TDI can be there to add confluence to our decisions to enter. What will give you a higher win ratio...well a little hint....develop your system. See my previous post with the Van Tharp pdf. But i presume this isn't what your looking for as an answer to your question so here it goes.... As Emmanuel has so often said in this thread...
Erol,

Thank you for the detailed response. I had read VanTharp's Trade Your way to financial freedom years ago. I think I will re-read it and his other books soon.

Do you have any suggestions for me as to how do I pick up PASR?

Edit: Erol, Nevermind !! I found your 3 pdf's for PASR. Had already downloaded them, but they had slipped my mind . Thank you for your efforts !!

{quote} ... Roll your chart back a little and look at the candles on the last long move up.....try to see any differences in the candles and in the TDI......you will see that very few of the larger candles have wicks at both ends.........
Phx62,

I blv you are referring to the upmove attached in my post. When you say larger candles do you mean just the blue ones or the red ones as well.


If you mean just the blue ones, then where should be a safe entry and exit for a long? Also if there are large red candles without wicks shouldnt that be a deterrent from taking a long position?

I am just trying to see what you saw in that chart. Hope my question is clear enough, if not I will rephrase.

Thanks,

I would like to share some of my recent discoveries on my own psyche, i hope it makes sense.

The past three weeks demo trading tms i discovered that how big my risk is and how much the monetary value of my pips will play on my psychology once i had entered a trade.

So now i think that it will be easier to think of my risk apettite in terms of the cold hard cash instead of percentages.

i opened a $1000 dollar account on oanda-demo just for tms around maybe 2 or 3 or so weeks ago. It is still in profit of around 12% despite my recent losses.

i have recently realized that it would be easier for me to think that i must not lose $20 per trade. That means that i could only afford a 20 pip stop for 0.1 lot, a 40 pip stop on 0.05lots and a 200 pip stop on 0.01 lot. Now it's easier to compute my risks, and stop losses. I could increase it more or less to discover and test in the coming weeks if my psyche is ready to trade on higher values.

I also realize that I must get used to the emotions of wins and losses on a my pip/dollar value. Only then could i learn to trade stress free as big e once called it.

Trading Stress entered when my psychology isn't used yet on the emotions of trading in my recent chosen dollar or monetary value per pip. For example, when i entered 0.3 lots i discovered that i was stressed and monitored the trade per minute it was open. I closed trades fast and didnt allow them to run. When i entered 0.1 lot on a trade, i still monitored them but not closely. So i am thinking that my psyche for now maybe is only ready to trade in 0.1 lots to scalp, 0.05 lots for intraday, or 0.01 lots for position long term trades.

Trading tms makes my trading decision easy on the entry. But managing the trades have been hard on my psyche as fear and greed frequently took over. I discovered that most of it was really because of my chosen dollar/pip value.

I thank the seniors of this thread for keeping this valuable thread alive. It has been a fun learning experience learning from you guys the past few weeks.

Enjoy your week end.

Farhad,

There is no reason why you cant just read what big e put and trade as he did, you don't have to apply anything else to make it work.
All the other things of which you speak are also helpful tools in our tool box which if used correctly give us confluence in our trading decisions.
Don't lose heart when I first started emmanuel confused the hell out of me but now I have spent the time to learn, all what he has said makes sense and is invaluable to my trading performance.
This is a simple system just trade it as the big man laid out. When you are ready try learning just one new thing a week so that you don't get over whelmed, and see if it can help you be more successful or even help you keep out of bad trades.

Hi,

I had a GU H4 trade I would like to share.
Reasoning for enter
1. TTF trend bullish
2. HTF trend bullish
3. Bullish TDI cross between 32 and 68
4. Price at previous significant level (green rectangle)
5. Completion af an ABCD pattern.

My first TP was just below the latest high and RN 1.55500, TP2 was set at about the completion of the CD leg and RN 1.56500

Emmanuel mentioned in his reply to my post, that there are 3 types of market: trending and sideways wide ranging and narrow ranging.
My quiestion is, what are the criteria() for deciding what is the current type of the market (some EMA, ADX) I think, the last week's range compared to the 100 and 52 weeks range shows the volatility not the trending.

regards,
thrax

farhad,

I think you are just frustrated. learning is tough. Big E thought it was a simple system, and it is. But you should remember that the thread originator had several years of experience and chart time, I think that just looking at the chart it would have been clear to him why price is acting that way and he would have acted upon it.

it's like this... reading is very easy, isn't it? But do you remember when you were very young you thought reading was a painful task, because you exerted a lot of effort just to read a sentence or two. learning to read charts with price action, support resistance and everything takes time. don't lose hope.

having said that, if you read the posts, the method is still the same. it's just that other traders use other guides like trend lines, pivots, fibs to set profit targets and help in decision making.

again don't lose hope.

{quote} LO refers to the opening of the London session.....LO = London Open..... .
Hi Phx62

Thanks for your reply. Now I am getting clarity on various aspects of TMS. In fact I had all the pairs opened in H4 and placed orders on TDI crosses above 68 or below 32. I got couple of trades hitting my tp at 100 pips. But many trades retraced after having moved to little over 50 pips. From now on I will be focussed. I find that you are using the THV Cave Manager ea to manage your manual orders. I downloaded the pdf file from the only attachment of yours found in this thread. However, the caveManager ea file is not found anywhere in the paperclips. Is that sharable? If so can you please. I am testing TDI in Basket Trading on H1/H4. Finding it very effective. Thanks a lot.

Market Type:
We all know that market is sideways more often than it is trending. There is no way for us to tell when market will start trending or when it will be sideways.
Since we are trtading TMS with the TDI, the TDI is a good indicator to use to help us in our trade planning and trade decisions.
Once you know and understand the TDI characteristics - the three line PL Green, TSL Red line and MBL Yellow line are all moving avergaes of the RSI period (13). The VB Blue Band show your the market price volatility, all in relation to the period 34.

I have posted several times on channeling technique used in 4H swing trading.
Here is one post 19,613where I explain the use of the TDi and how we can draw price channels to trade.

Unfortunately I do not have the time to post trade example using channeling technique again but I will try.

What you all can do is to use the Forum search and type "channeling'" when you are in this thread and all my post with the word "channeling" will show up in a summary. Study those posts.

farhad10,

The crux of this TMs is all in one post #261.

Price Action, Support and Resistance mentioned and are part of this simple trading method.

You can trade every TDI cross in H4 but you need to have the experience and skills to read PA and indentify Support and Resistance on your charts. That takes time to developed.
