Hey Fame of Me, I noticed you're looking at the 15M time frame- is there a reason for that? I must admit the choppy markets over the past few days have made me ponder this too...
Marty - I guess this is really no longer the thread for this, but, to answer your question (in fear of getting suspended) I myself, due to daily time constraints, look at a variation of TMS on 15 min time frames (with some success). There is a very well respected trader that uses the system on 1hrs with quite outstanding results and shares them (or has) on this thread..

I am still a quiet lover of the TMS. I am not a fan of complicate peoples and of complicate trading ways. This is why I loved this thread sooo much, but yeah, after a while, people start to complicate things, if the owner not around anymore. However, it would be nice to see again more TMS charts, the way how BIG E loved. A signal which I took this morning, for me ever its important, to see a clear cross of the TDI at the signal candle. {image}
Nice trade btw

Thanks for your replies guys. To be honest, I prefer the control and immediacy of 15 or maybe 30 mins. 4H is doubtless less stressful for most, but I think I'd find it difficult to place a trade and walk away. Maybe I'm a control freak There used to be another hybrid of this system called Another Simple System which used TDI and HA on the 15M, with the 10EMA. It was cool before it also went all weird on that thread.

What i dont get is that Big E traded this method with new candle opening at 10pm Pacific / 6am london time.

how many of you have a new candle starting at this time?

also, he was making trades at 6am or 10am london time (10pm 2am PT) and closeing all before 2pm london(6am PT)

meant to also say, its nuts how someone comes to a thread like this obviously looking for help, yet they post a chart looking for confirmation with indicators that Big E never mentioned and even warned against tinkering around with it.

Hi Guys and how nice it is to see people that have been here before many moons ago returning ...
just confirms what i have been saying about traders who where here before this thread caught the plague are just waiting on the side lines to come back in and help us newbies out.... getting back to the original way - or somewhere close to it anyways...
thanks guys - hopefully now many more will come out and post ??????

looking at the thread you mention Themartycat which you say was also good in the past - i clicked the paperclip and discovered why it too caught the plague...
and good people left for pastures greener......

great now we are getting on with it so time to shut up and learn - which i will ... which will please many of you

but someone had to say what i have said !!! FINAL ... promise !!

Yeah, everything seemed to become really complicated here. It feels like a new beginning.

Regarding the candle times, I admit that it confused me. 6AM UK time is 2 hours before London opens, and there's little happening at that time.

Time for all of us to pull together and make pips galore as the great Big E intended.

was the H4 chart swings bigger back when this thread started making that time frame more lucrative ?
there are still people trading the H4 but the pip value doesn't seem to be filling the wheel barrow as much -
Bizzle has gone back to the original and although is still showing positive pips at the end of the week, doesn't seem to be as much as Big e was bagging,
could it be the time the candle is posted now days,
there is the saying the market can only go up down or sideways - how come most trades taken now do all three of these things soon as you enter ???

i seem to be having more TMS luck - as thats what it is - on the daily time frame - same rules apart from daily chart,
infact i opened myself a US account so i could get the daily candle at 9pm london so i didn't have to wait up until midnight,
so having a separate account i placed a trade and bloody forgot i had placed it for a week -
presto - luck again - nothing else - it was 390 pips up....
suppose it could have been 100 down and taken my SL out ... luck again.....

indeed, but
1, its the rules
2, ull find things move around a bit before mkts open.

i actually logged in here and took a look ever 200/300 pages. and the user names just go missing. . . and its so obvious why. if u look at a chart from the first few pages, i cant make any chart out after page 200, . .

why oh why, when people come on here to give there system, or there holy grail why people take it, and without trying it for 2/3 months start adding indicators. . have they not learnt .. .

i wish they could just sit back and think. . . ..

some people arent cut out for trading.

Bizzzle seems to be the only one posting here and sticking to the rules like glue

Works OK if you are with FXDD who are GMT +3 (not that I am trying to promote them but they are the broker Big E used to use). Or a broker GMT +2 like Alpari. Or trade 1 hour candles which will be the similar regardless of the time frame. Depends of the currencies being traded too.

My live account 4hr candles start at 7am and then 11am GMT - one hour later than Big E traded. However I also found a broker with their 4hr candles starting at 6am and 10am GMT - I have a demo account with them which I can keep side by side with my live account to compare feeds and signals.

Hope this helps.

i know ders no need to say this, but just in case

you dont have to use that broker, just download the package that gives u the times u need.

basically, if Big E used FXDD, then so should people following. or a package that gives new candle at 06 10 14 18 22 02 london time

Hi Nelly,

I have noticed over the last year especially the ADR on majors has dropped from what it used to be to a lot less (especially on EU), however other pairs are achieving really good ADR's and trending nice.

Examples are EURAUD, GBPAUD and GOLD especially. These 3 alone have beastly ranges and when they move they move big time. I believe that Big E chose his original pairs because at that time they were volatile and gave good ranges, but I also believe that if a pairs volatility lowered then he would have adapted and chosen other pairs with greater volatility and range.

Exactly the same system - just different pairs. Professional traders I speak to love the EA and GA at the moment because of the way they are moving (GJ is good as well), and if you look at Phx's charts he has moved from EU to EJ and now he is trading EA.

Midnight trades on D charts. EU short @1.3817 +11 Pips for now. And GU short @1.6724 +30 Pips on BE. Nothing but TMS rules applied. {image} {image}
Hi, hugecat! How are your trades? Where did you exit? Did the same enter on EUR/USD, but today's news cut my profit. Closed with only +6 pips. Also my USD/CAD (monday open) was closed today by trailing stop with +5 pips only. Didn't enter GBP/USD, because it was 3d APB candle, but it could bring some nice profit today, if close it right time.

Its nice the thread has got back to some sort of sanity without anyone being overbearing on others, its nice to view the posts

That said, I don't think we should be so strict as to not allow other timeframes as long as the system traded is basic tms. phx62 trades tms on the h1, others may use m15, some may use h4 or daily, it really shouldn't matter along as its the basic tms system thats used. Bizzle has tried as an experiment the exact way Eelfranz traded at the beginning of the thread, but he hasn't said everyone should trade exactly the same way, because its a personal choice to try it out. The fact is, not everyone can trade at those times, and it shouldn't matter I think as long as people post the basic tms on whatever timeframe, without additional indicators and without forcing their will on others it will be a very good thread to read and learn from.
