I decided to try and do as Bizzzle and a few others are and trade the H4 as Big E laid out on page 1.

Week 1, Day 1:

6am:

AU- -14

10am:

EU- +20

UC- +18

Total = +24 pips for the day

Just closed out my AU trade for 10 pips lost. I'm not going to let it hit my 36 SL like it would most likely do if I stayed in. Once again I BUY the High & SELL the Low. -30 pips on the day. What a crap start to the week. I got short AU when the green TDI went below the yellow TDI . Afterwards a member explains to me about the bounce and how they take them once the Red TDI line has crosses above or below the Yellow base line. So basically telling me that my AU was a bad entry lol. I could have got out for 2 pips profit but didn't at that time.

Seems like every other pairs is paying out on trades that aren't TMS A++++ trades. Very frustrating. I'm down about 3k today on BS trades. Now watch AU tank for 100 pips now that I'm out of it. Just like the NU will most likely sky rocket now that It stopped me out. I think I'm going to start my vacation early because I rather blow 3k a day clubbing then losing it trading. Even gambling it away at a casino would be more fun then getting up every 4hr and seeing my account worth less and less everyday.

Being down 30 pips isn't much but still it's just sooo annoying to enter a trade and it instantly starts going against me which is a complete reversal of what it was doing for me my first 3 weeks of trading TMS when I made 1788 pips. The last two weeks I have made less then 200 pips combined. Thats less then I would make trading my own system. I think I need to maybe paper trade until I reverse the negative karma surrounding me right now.

Your AU short was a counter trend trade... you have to be very carefull with those. Try the bounces untill you get your flow ... at least you'll be going with the trend.

Was bit surprised you shorting AU given it was above the PAC on the Daily and the Weekly. Though there was a H1 countertrend short trade on the AU earlier this morning. Did you get in too late for that?

EURNZD 7 Apr TOK_5H breakout trade: A little late entry and missed a few pips. Anyway, it looks good as of now a R:R 1:1 trade. {image}

Hey!

Could you please clarify how you pick your TP points?

Do you pick your TP points on the tok_5 based on the toyko range? So if range is 7 pips, your SL be 7 pips (other side of box) and 7 pips to TP1 and TP2 will then be 14 pips and so on?

Sorry for asking you this so many times, I hesitated to take this trade on Eurusd last night and I saw it worked out.

If you are going to trade the H4 charts and come out if it gets to -10 then once you get a cross on h4 go down to m15 and see how far its gone without a pullback first, if its gone too far since the cross - in this case ~40 pips - wait for a pullback. AU for last 7 days has only had an ATR of around 50 pips, so thats basically all the atr for today taken so. Yes sometimes you will miss a trade, but the ones you take will be much safer, or be prepared to put your stop loss behind the last m15 high and stick to it. This is what I look at as well as the h4 chart, the vertical line is where it actually crossed down nicely.

Exit this trade on AUDUSD because strong pullback. But, I'm still believes it can fall down because of bearish divergence.

Sure...it is better you take some vacation away from trading...that in itself is also a money management skill. You can come back more positioned to trade normally that under pressure. Wish you the best.

{quote} This would be my idea of a bounce trade AS. Also green over red, over yellow (with the yellow pointing up) making it a higher probability trade (hopefully!). Also TDI is moving above the 50 line (pink). {image}

Thanks Hostwey,

So at the beginning of 2nd blue you would have entered? or 3rd to make sure the crossed finished to confirm entry without worrying about it repainting?

Wow I go away from the thread and return to a lot of PM telling me to not pay attentions to some people with big Ego's. Look I said, for one month I will trade the same as page 1 on the 4 hour chart, which I am doing and making great pips! On page one Big E doesn't mention anything about risk or MM... so why should I? Everyone can trade this way and choose there own risk or MM. I am a professional trader and trade for a living and have multiple account, I don't have to prove anything to anyone. I said many times this is a trial to see the outcome,...
