This weeks EA H1 trades (some of the first ones were posted earlier this week). All trades taken according to my trading plan with the H4 channel pointing out TP points. Overall a good week.{image}

AUDUSD trade closed. This was an intraday trade taken in H1 timeframe using the TOK_5H high-low EMMANUEL
Ooh TOK_5H sounds clever. What is it by the way? Did Google it, but that took me to one of your PDF's

I'll guess that TO = Tokyo Open?

Hi hostway,

Just mark the high and low of the first 5 hours of the Tokyo session, if that high-low range is below 40pips, usually smaller raneg will work our better, we trade the breakout of either the high or the low for that day.

Another way is to trade using the Tokyo channel explained in the 5-Method (Craig Harris Stochastic Method) thread.

Just another way to look for intraday trades in H1 and M15. Use the PAC, its is a great price channel to use.

Hello and good morning from Spain. I´m a newbie in the forex world and trying to learn while I´m doing some practises with demo accounts and a real micro one.
Wanna ask, before starting to read the full thread, it is yet valid or rules have changed from when it was started?
Hope my question make sense cause my english isn´t very good.
Thanks in advance,

Here is a TOK_5H breakout trade example using EJ

Same way how we use the TDI, APB and the PAC. And a few basic trading rules you have to think of and follow.
look at the chart below.

Excellent trades again phx, one question from 26th March trade, I always look to see where your tp and sl lines are for inspiration on my own trades but on that day, the tp line is above the stop loss, just wondering what happened there on that day.

What we can learn from Phx62 trades for the last week TMS

First thank you sir for providing as always your trades of the week

What inspires me most is the power of waiting LO to set the high or low and then trade the 6 to 8 candles in row

Even when the market pushed almost 40 pips in 1 candle on EJ at the opening of London on Friday 28-3-2014, set the low and then trend in the other direction for 8 straight hours

And on EJ there was some divergence too. How come I'm noticing all this after the event? I think trading is like driving a car. At first when learning to drive you have to think about everything. When to put foot on the clutch, engage gear, turn the wheel, operate the indicators. After trading a lot it should become automatic.

This is not possible which mean the TP marker must have been move!

{quote} Hello mate! Congrats on being a father I will answer your questions in the number sequence of your post. 1. Most suitable currency pairs are A/j, A/u, E/a, E/j, E/c, E/n, E/u, G/a, G/j. G/u plus crude oil if you are interested in trading CFDs. 2. If you enter a trade and after 4 hours new candles closed against your trade then first thing you should look for is what happened wrong, Like: a. Any S/R level pushed it back on you b. Any fundamental news c. Opening or closing of any market session Most of the time with my trades this...

{quote} Well said Manoj! Psychology wise, I think the only way to improve is to do live trade. That's what happened to me, very positive result on demo for 6 months, but on my first month of live trading I started doing things I shouldn't: chasing trades, guessing the market, enter random trades, the list goes on and on. It's unbelievable how much having real money on the line can affect how you behave.

There is no way anyone can know for certain it a TDI signal is going to be a fakeout or go for a long distance. On the March 24th trade, I entered and was able to monitor it, not knowing if it would reach the TP. I was prepared to exit on a consolidation. I was not at the computer at the second setup you mentioned.

I have no idea why there is a TP line above the SL line unless it has something to do with the CaveManager EA that I use when I open trades. I will be checking with my broker. I checked my account and that trade paid the 126 pips. On that trade, I removed the TP because I was expecting price to continue down to the H4 channel line that I have been using for TP and that line is variable depending on how many candles it takes to reach the line (since the channel is on a +/- 45 degree angle), so there should have been no blue TP line. When price consolidated and pulled back, I exited the trade manually.

MrAussieFX,

That is a great source of video tutorials where I spend a lot of time learning all about the TDI, the APB, the PAC and lots of the experience put there by a few great traders. I learn the Synergy trading model which in my opinion is where the 5-Method evolved from.
This will help many more people who wants to learn to trade and to trade with TMS.

I am a momentum breakout trader and using the TOK_5H High-Low is just like many other High-Low breakout methods.


Thank you.

Enjoy the weekend.
