{quote} Hi Emmanuel is it possible to forecast the direction of breakout? Regards Partha Roy
dadadada,

We do not forecast breakouts. We see consolidation as potential for market to breakout of consolidation.

Going down to one timeframe lower will get you into the market before the breakout. Price Action with the use of Support and Resistance plus the use of TMS will get you into breakout trades with high win rates.

Now wee see the H4 BO candle and the historical support and resistance 131.67, we shall see how market will react around this level. The next target is 133.27

Note, the height of the grey box is R on H4. But in H1 the R is very much smaller.


Trade Well.

EJ week 36:

Today, 5 Sep BoJ will be making another major policy statement.
EJ already made a early move together with GJ but UJ remains in its consolidation.
The composite strength of all JPY pairs remain looking to be bullish since this week opening.

My view is EJ will make higher given more time. Several previous highs to overcome on its way up. PA will show the way.
Today will be the day for UJ to be perform.

Good Trading.

AU 4 Sep: NY closed after a quiet session after London closed buying stopped. Now Sydney opens and we see two consecutive D1 bullish candles. H4 closed above 0.9045, and the next historical swing level is 0.9175 ... that is much farther up, hence unlikely Au will make it there. Next reaction levels is BRN 0.9100 and favourite 0.9145 With GDP data release today, it will be another volatile day. Good Trading.

Hi Folks,

This one I got it wrong. AU made it to 0.9715... that 100% of its weekly average range. Time to get out!

{quote} I think you will learn a lot more if you first study the babypips school very thoroughly. You need to learn a lot of the basic stuff first before you can start trading. Really, it takes a lot of time, but this is the best thing you can do. You can ask all the basics here, but that's not the way to learn well. Learn first, practice later, trade last.

What you may need is a daily trading coach.

{quote} Now at LO+2hours we see some reaction at 0.9145 and the TIMING is just right.... coincidence or what? Anyone knows what is this TIMING?
1 of the 10 things, is TIMING:

TIMING means more that just timing your trade entry using lower timeframe for better price entry and smaller initial SL.

TIMING also means that it will prevent you in getting into trades in the wrong direction of the Primary Trend which we all trade.

TIMING is looking at all the various key markets session opening and closing and study the market behaviour. There are times what looks like a TMS sell setup but in fact there are no sellers but only buyers exiting the market or vice versa. This happen often when Tokyo closing hour and also the London closing hour.

So the question is what shall we be doing when we have open trades and we see market approaching closing hour?

TIMING - very important thing
For the third context, can you give me example?

Emmanuel, is there any trick to identify if we have enough buyers or seller to help TMS signal valid and avoid whipsaw? I saw the other day you made some comments on volume study in Sonic R thread. Do you see anything useful in volume study? Thanks.

hi guys, i have actually 2 question to ask.

1) the forcast on the economic calender is actually based on the market sentiments or what ? lets say the forecast , is 0.1 positive how do economic calender determine this value ? does anyone actually uses this numbers for intraday trading ?

2) leverage , isnt it the same as lot sizes. eg i play 1 lot of 100:1 leverage isnt it the same as i play 0.5 lots of 200:1 leverage ?

Back testing

Every night or every other night , I spend them in back testing Price Action and TMS for H1 , now what I do is as follows

1- I open mt4 as usual , go back in time where I left, open time and calendar website for viewing the day of the week back tested

2- Draw support and resistance lines and zones, check for the day back tested ( Trending , Sideway Range ie Channel , or Consolidation ) and make a plan, hit F12 and forward bay by bar

3- If a trade shows up, put entry , stop loss, and target order, forward until TP is hit , exit manually with some TP or a small loss or stop loss is hit

I try to focus on timing while back testing, so what you do when you back test?, what have I miss?

Pls share your thoughts about back testing with TMS

Thanks

University classes started last week and have not been able to do my 20 pip trade scalps in the 15 min chart, since London opens at 12am my time.


On the bright side this has made me go back to the TMS roots and forward test the original TMS by Big E.


Very simple stuff, be aware of market structure. Open trades by London and close by NY.

I created a basic 10k demo account, and 1lot trades.
8 out of 11 Wins -Which has been plenty of signals for 2 weeks.

Even missed a couple of rallies, but it doesn't get any easier than this.
+20% account in 2 weeks

Couple of clicks at night, then wake up and see the money. I can finally understand that statement from Big E.
Will continue to test/trade this account and way of trading till December. Ill share my results of pure TMS in december.

I guess you are right.

Im following Big E instructions,I am not swing trading.

The only times when i would go the full way and even double lots, is the pro trader network entry of divergence.

Thank you Emmanuel,

I will be reading the book you suggest over the weekend. As I'm browsing it now, I liked this paragraph which I thought to post here:

Quote
When traders make money, they feel bright about the future and good
about themselves. When they hit a string of losing days, they become consumed
with the loss. Instead of trading for profits, they trade to not lose money.

Best,

Thanks TheScorpS,

I will convert the Daily Coach PDF and put it on my Kindle for easier reading...My goal is to understand how to overcome inconsistency, but I'm sure there are many other subjects we must be aware of.
