TMS works well when the market type is trending and sideways wide range.
TMS does not work when the market type is sideways narrow ranged.
But how do we determine the market type?

I dont believe in statistics but according to the forex cheat sheet, most trends occur on wednesdays and thursdays. based on your own experience do you support that statement?

I was hoping since majority of Eur pairs gave signal EU would be the safest choice. Better luck next time.

Hi AS, glad to see you! I took 3 trades today following your example and they all are in profit. Thank you

Just exit 2 trades, EURAUD and AUDCHF when they pull back a lot. Could have taken 50-60 pips but I'm happy nonetheless.

I'm posting entry & exit charts

EURAUD +20 pips

quite true when I trade the 4H swing during the week, between Tuesday to Thursday are usually the bigger movements.

{quote} Thank you for correction, Bizzle! I think you're right. I think I have to go back to Babypips for more study....
Correction: Regarding the flag and peanuts, as a rule the slope of these patterns is opposite to the direction of the trend, but this is not absolutely necessary. If the slope coincides with trend direction then it tells us that the current trend is even stronger. Also these patterns could be horizontal instead of sloped:

Another one I'm in is EURJPY pin/pull back bar rejecting my lower channel, I marked it with a white box. Entered when price broke the high. It then stayed in the negative for a while day before finally moving up. For this one I'll let it run until it hit my center channel line (dotted purple line).

I have made a decision for a month to trade this system as set out by the thread owner in honour of him on the 4 hour!! 4hr trades at night. I check for set ups at 10pm Pacific,2am and close all 4 hour trades by 6am Pacific.... You ever woke in the morning popping on your puter and find you made 150 pips while you slept... guaranteed to put a smile on your face and a skip in your step. Entries and exits... We Enter a trade when green crosses red on the TDI at the beginning of that candle... If it's candle 3 or more don't enter... find another trade...
TMS trades from page one...

I opened three trades this morning at 6am GMT, I am only checking the 6am and 10am candles for entry and closing all of them at 2pm GMT, trades follow:

AJ - +51 pips

AU- +28 pips

EA- Breakeven

As you can see as http://assets.forexfactory.net/nfs/c...tar69907_2.gif eelfranz said its stress free... I check my computer 3 times and made 79 pips

KEEP IT SIMPLE!!!!

{quote} sometimes i see that there is a crossover and the price immediately turns the other direction after the open of another 4 hour candle. can you advice on how to saveguards overselves with that?
Thats just means crap happens. We try to be 100% but we can't be. Emmanuel posted a link to a Video a few post back that I think will serve you very well to look at.

{quote} Thanks for the reply. If you get time, please post the HL, HH ........... trade with setups. I will keep my patience and wait for this setup and take the trade. let see how many trade I will make in a week.
If we have candles on the 4 hour taking out the high of the previous candle we know its making HL and HH without even looking at a LTF because the high of the previous candle was taken out, here is an example:

Thanks for the info L0pg!


How many alarms does it allow you to have programmed? I only need a vibrate for 11:45pm & 3:45pm. All the other times I can continue to use my cell phone. I also read that they just did a recall because some people were having an allergic reaction. I think because Im not going to use it whole working out that I shouldn't have an issue with this. I will purchase one when they are made available for sell again.

Thanks Bizzzle. On my chart I think those would be 4am and 6am candles (I'm in UK using IG, but been comparing with FXDD charts which GMT +3).

Does make a subtle difference to the charts but I suspect no practical difference.
