{quote} Doesn't matter, I'm strictly a mini lot person.
Most people on FF are full of something, but some are far more subtle. The point is, as as33156 has posted most of his trades BEFORE he has taken them, he hasn't asked everyone to believe something in hindsight, so does it really matter what else he comes out with?

{quote}so does it really matter what else he comes out with?
Not really, and I like his posts, and I only commented as I recall a trade where he was in for $30 a pip! Concentrates the mind!

As you say he has posted his trades beforehand, and also he has posted about his less successful trades. As you say, everything else is an irrelevance.

AUDUSD Daily/4hrly
Inverse H&S pattern on the daily, possible long entries on the break. 4Hrly seems to be winding up (symetrical triangle). Look for a break either way.

[quote=emmanuel7788;7342190]Folks, I just caught up with reading this week's post and reading quite a fair bit of talk about different broker server time and different H4 candles, etc..... We have been though these in the past. I know this thread is getting too big for some to read all the posts. But let me say this: It does not matter if you use the same charts with the same broker server time as eelfranz' . He used FXDD which is now GMT+3 sever time. You can follow exactly his trading hours checking his charts at every 4 hours his local time. The end results will be you achieve the same trading results as he did in the way he traded. You need to know the type of trader he was and why he traded in the way he did. It is not about TMS signals because we are not trading signals on our charts. Many still don't get this or it is just the word 'trade signals' that bugs me. There is a wide range knowledge you need have to become a successful trader. That took eelfranze more than 2 years to develop this TMS method. He studied other systems and methods, and he traded for many years before he developed TMS. He developed TMS which gave him 70% to 80% win rate. Trading Made Simple is a technical method and not a system. It evolved from another method. That is why it is aptly named is trading made simple because it is relatively simple compared to the other methods. You need to ask yourself what are you missing. Why are you not getting positive trading results. How far are you in achieving and maintaining a win rate of 70%. If you have not and is not maintaining this high win rate after 100, 200 and 300 trades, please forget about those 'wheel barrow' talks. Trading to achieve financial freedom is a long term business. I have seen many people come here and post some very proftable trades for a few months and then they dissappeared. Some went on to other FF threads and start all over trying all other kind of stuff. I get many PMs people sharing with me their situations, experience, problems, etc. and I see in general all the same reasons why people don't succeed in trading. Investment and trading textbooks, will tell you all the same reasons why people fail and trading coaches, gurus, market experts, will tell you the same reasons why 95% ( or is it 93%) of traders will lose money. There is a lot of work you need to do before you want to start trading with your hard-earned money thinking that you can make money to supplement your fulltime job income. It will take time, 3 years and maybe even more. That depends on how much time you have to spend each day and what you spend those time on. Does 10,000 hours scare you? Of course that number of hours will scare anyone who does not know what he/she need to do in those 10,000 hours. You need to have a structured content to follow to learn and develop yourself to become a successful trader. Spend time and think this over.[/q

Thank's Emmanuel,I like the idea of 10k hours work in front of cpu,but ,somewere in the future,I will be ok,thank's again for the encouragement to all us traders
happy trading...

EUR/AUD trades this week. The first 3 trade entries and targets were based on TMS and the first channel. The last 5 trade entries and targets were based on TMS and the newer channel. Since price broke out of the latest channel, there could be a new channel forming for next week. Have a good weekend.{image}

Hi AS,

I do not know about others but I want you to posts your chart here in TMS as Gilr said you trading way is same as of Big E so many people here might have following you although some people may silently, you are new to TMS but still you have managed to collect many pips with this method its really great, I believe you will change your decision to stay sideline.

Please do not leave us! I almost lost all hope of being consistent in trading, but you changed everything!
In 2010 I had some health problems and was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. This taught me that in life you have only two options: to fight or surrender. When you quit already started to die.
I liked what he said Stephen Hawking, who suffers from a more serious illness, when doctors told him that he has only three years to live (he was about 20 then) : I can not die because I have so many things to do! Not resigned but struggled and now has over 60 years!
Eminescu, a Romanian poet, wrote a poem very beautiful and profound: Evening Star (Lucifer).
The last verse of it:
"You live in your sphere's narrowness
And luck rules over you -
But in my steady world I feel
Eternal, cold and true!" http://www.fa-kuan.muc.de/LUCEAFA.HTML
Please continue to fight, do not leave us!

Good post and clean charts. I LIKE.

GU - W1 bearish bias, H4 IB breakout potential, sell the rally. Weekly range 235pips.
AU - W1 is wide ranging but to the upside. 6 Mar D1 pin bar, may attract sellers. Choppy week ahead. Intraday range 70pips.
EJ - W1 IB so I see a breakout potential. Weekly range 310pips. H1 TDI cross up.
GJ - W1 and D1 both bearish bias. And a H4 IB breakout potential. Weekly rnage 340pips. H4 TDI cross up.

Have a Goof Trading week ahead.

Wheelbarrow joke:

There was a man who had worked at a factory for twenty years. Every night when he left the plant, he would push a wheelbarrow full of straw to the guard at the gate.

The guard would look through the straw, and find nothing and pass the man through.

On the day of his retirement the man came to the guard as usual but without the wheelbarrow.

Having become friends over the years, the guard asked him, "Charlie, I've seen you walk out of here every night for twenty years. I know you've been stealing something. Now that you're retired, tell me what it is. It's driving me crazy."

Charlie simply smiled and replied, "Okay, wheelbarrows!"
