Hey Zoopots,

do I have problems with my eyes? Or what happened to your good summary on USDCHF H4 post 34,727 ?

I tried to reenact this results on my platform and now your evaluation is not there anymore.

{quote} Hey Ballistical, The thing I noticed about Bizzzle is that he enters multiple pairs. This way he 'diversifies' his positions and if one pair goes down and the other goes up he will still be in profit. Last few days he hasn't gained many pips but always came out with a + Try taking trades where the bar closes above the previous day high. Not the previous day high close but the very high point of that bar. Have your signal bar close above that highest point of previous bar. This means lots of momentum in trade and it should work out.

DesiBaba, thanks for the pointer. Diversifying makes a lot of sense. The daily high is not something I'd noted. Big E vaguely mentioned knowledge of PA in his posts but his approach seemed to focus primarily on TDI position/ angle, candle size and S/R levels. Bizzzle, I know you said you were trading as Big E set out on the first page but are these factors you focussed on or was there anything else? Many thanks again for documenting this trial.
Focus on the process and the profits will follow

{quote} Hi TK123, This indicator needs the complete Synergy Pro package (11 indictaors in all) becasue of internal iCustoms call to retrieve data from other indicators. It will not work alone and can cause MT4 "Not Respsonding" error. regards, EMMANUEL
But i am also not using all synergy pro package and it is working fine. TDI i am using is that posted by BIG E , i just added a yellow line in it.
However i am using synergy APB and S/R indicator. If that helps i can share all indicators on my chart with template file.

{quote} Also in this trade very easy decision to make. Solid pin bar, clear level. Lots of room to move. Despite the big round number, I don't think they matter much when momentum is on the side of a trade. Just my opinion
I am too in this trade, already in green.

Here's how I'm going to start trading this going forward. I can only trade from D1 charts because of work commitments. I'll be looking for my Bias from W1 charts. When I get Green<Red<Yellow and market has broken above PAC I'll be looking to go long on D1. When I get Green>Red>Yellow and market has broken below PAC I'll be looking to go short on D1. I think Zoopots has the right approach to avoid getting chopped I'm not going to be around for about two weeks but when I get back I'll put this into practice {image} {image}
Been trading the same way on demo. Without the PAC channel though. Maybe I'll add that. Hope we can do this together. See you at TMS for Day charts!

Looking for a cross of the Green and Red on the higher TF should be enough to start looking for trades on the lower TF.

The charts below are D1 and H4 but I'll mainly be using it on W1 and D1 charts.

Normally the TDI cross is obvious, is the left picture considered as crossed? Note: I need to zoom in to the TDI to be able to see the tiny cross. The picture on the right considered as touching?

Thank you,

If you want precision, then look at the actual values of the TDI PL and TSL shown in the indicator window.

But we do not need to be that precise when we trade PA.

WEEK 3 I have decided not to trade tomorrow because of big impact news!! Results for Trading the 4 hour as seen on page 1 checking my computer three times a day: Mon: +78 pips Tue: +2 Weds: +10 Thurs: +16 Total this week is +106 pips! Week 1 = +155 pips week 2 = +243 pips week 3 = +106 pips Total: +504 pips Big E was right this really is trading made simple!! Rip Big E and thank you for thinking different to everyone else
Mr. Bizzzle, Do you take every TDI cross on H4 or pass on it if D&W trends are different?

Two mini-trades this morning on H1 - at a NFP-waiting market

EURAUD short and EURJPY short on break of TOK_5H channel this early morning => 2x +10 pips

Now on EURJPY there would have been a possibility for long on EURJPY H1, but seeing the news coming soon and a small downtrend of the last hours - I'm not entering that trade.

Took one trade with GU yesterday. Looking at the Daily TF there was a nice cross of the TDI and on the H4 TF there were some strong momentum candles and price was riding on the bottom of the PAC. I watched this trade pretty close because i know there's some red news coming out soon and price started to range some so i decided to exit before the market started getting too crazy (also its friday, and i don't want to keep trades open over the weekend). +18 pips. Hope everyone has a good day!

I don't usually trade the news but I'd had this trade in all morning and thought I would just let it go, already had moved the stop loss to BE +1 so was hoping if it went the other way there wouldn't be too much slippage. I have a 100 pip tp on it but with a 50 pip trailing stop.

yeah tell me about it. Started rising up 18 pips profit then instantly flipped on me and dropped to -27 pips. lol I had very little money on it. News trading is such gambling. It only news to work in my favor when I was already in a proper TMS trade on the pair news comes out on. If I take the trade just because of news though I get crushed.

Moral of the story? News trading is worse than gambling.
