London is starting an hour earlier since April I guess, so be-careful if you are using London and New York boxes to adjust the settings behind those boxes

Just started to read this thread from the beginning again, what a breath of fresh air eelfranz was.

When I first joined FF Craig Harris Stochastic Method was the first thread I read.

I wish I had stuck with eelfranz and continued to trade using his methods but at the time I was looking for a faster pace of trading, on the 5m and 15m charts, and so moved to other trading methods.

I guess we have to learn through experience what suits us best.

I've been looking for a simple method I can use on the D1 TF and can see that trading this as per eelfranz rules that he set out from page one and not getting hung up over R:R and just take what the market is willing to give this can be a very profitable method.

The hardest part for me is going to be the discipline to take what the market is offering and if necessary take a small loss. If I can over come this hurdle my trading will, I hope, move to the next level of competence.

I've been following this thread for a few weeks now and hoping it stays in the traditional TMS style that's trending at the minute, it's great!
Just thought I would add my two cent from what I've found helpful over the last few weeks,

If any beginners are unfamiliar with support/resistance and PA check out this video series posted on this thread a while back:
Inserted Video



He trades a version of TMS so it's a nice way to learn for those who prefer to see a video apposed to read!

Looking forward to learning more next week!
Could anyone post training charts? That would be helpful.

Hi mkfx, i don't think it can be done easily, (please anyone, correct me if i'm wrong), unless the app supports custom indicators i would think it won't work. I use TeamViewer to remote connect to my computer at home, so i have full access of my computer from my android phone. That way my trading occurs on my computer at home no matter what. It works well for me. I have a computer at work too so i can use that computer to remote into my computer at home to trade. That way i don't have to worry about multiple copies of MT4 running and copying all the indicators and settings over to each computer. Hope this helps!

Hi
Open an new RSI window period 13, make the line colour same as your background so you don't see it .
set the line levels of the RSI 69,50,32
then add a simple moving average 2 colour green - and apply to previous indicator data in the settings.
next add another simple moving average 7 colour red and apply to first indicators data (i think .. if this doesn't look right apply to previous like the 2...)
the add one more simple moving average 34 colour yellow !!!

that is as good as it gets when you cannot add indicators to apps on android and Ipad...
check it against you pc chart but I'm sure i have the settings as they should be there for you .. as i use my iPad quite a lot when away from the pc, but do find it a lot easier to team viewer to you actual pc and see the real Mt4.

Evening All, Can anyone tell me why some of the posts have been removed from this tread?? Whilst on that note, who is taking the posts off this tread? Cheers Mark up
As I have understood some posts are removed by ff moderators because of an alleged verbal exchange between some members. Because of that and this outcome unfortunately some people feel annoyed and think about not to come into this thread any more, what I can understand.

Leonora,
At first glance it looks like a PCRF but if you look at the pdf posted earlier, one of the requirements is that "The wick of a pullback candle must be at least 1/2 of the total size of that candle......" Based on that, this formation would not qualify as a PCRF. And you are right....price was in consolidation so even if it was a PCRF, price probably would have not gone far. All the formations, indicators, trends and S/R levels mean nothing if there is no volatility in the market. Good luck to you......

{quote} No cave manager don't support time based exit. You can use MPTM EA for time based edits.
Hi TP123 or anyone else proficient in MPTM EA,

I remember you helped me with inputting EA settings before, so I am hoping you can help again. I have attached the SET file that I currently use, and am hoping to adjust it to these settings below:

30 pip JSL
Close 30% of position at 30 pip
On next jump at 60 pip close 40% position
Leave remaining 30% of position to continue running on the 30 pip JSL until either - I manually exit or the SL is hit.

I can't get my settings to work when I input them!

{quote} Thanks for taking the trouble. I Tried this morning but all the times seems to have gone a bit wonky with London now starting at 9pm in the evening on my GMT = 0 MT4 install. I'll take a another look at it, when the markets re-open as it was working fine yesterday.
Thanks, I noticed it when I was backtesting, my London session is 1 hour off, too. I have a new formula to calculate hours and I have to clear up the code, it looks horrible. I'll start a new thread and put all the information there when I'm done so it's not all in this thread

Hello All, Can someone please direct me to a previous post with the information I ask for, or just tell me............ How, when I'm creating a post, can I quote more than one previous post? Thanks, Kan
I open each quote in a new tab (middle mouse button default), then just copy and paste quotes from different tabs to one reply and post that main one, close the rest. Rough, but works. Maybe there's a more neat solution

I'm rather disappointed this thread has escalated into an elementary school yard brawl. I enjoy reading people's success and analysis but to revert back to egotistic behavior is just plain sad. This thread is TMS, plain and simple. If you want to trade a modified version of it start another thread! Bam, problem solved.

Anyways, after countless searching for an APB indicator to work on the fxcm platform I managed to find this.... Knowledge should be free and freely shared.
Enjoy!

I like that --- judge and then throw in your 2 cents worth. and personal attack. POINTLESS

We do not need to link anymore indicators, templates etc. Every one Big E used is in the thread. Every other one takes away from Eric's gift to us and dishonours his work!

I think we are starting to understand that off topic posts are now being removed

In honour of the eeffranz it is time that any post must be on topic. Any chart his template.

IT IS NOT OUR SYSTEM. If we modify the system that modification cannot be posted here.

Any talk of anything else including channels, robots, breakout boxes, other indicator etc can only be discussed by PM or another relevant thread.

I personally will apply clean up to anything else.

Any template other than Big E's again --- clean up applied. If you trade diffrent or a modified version of TMS , then you should not post and introduce here! Go start a modified TMS thread.

We should only post his charts and from that explain why we took a trade etc on any time frame.

If we do not settle on this we will all get frustrated, posts extracted and new comers no idea of what the original TMS is.

I would like to ask someone who has all Big E posts to post then in one post and before helping anybody with question the prerequisite would be to read and study Big E first

To enter on a trade..i use TDI cross....Or bounce

Before enter...Big E ( eelfranz ) says to look to the left for S/R area.. So i use some indicator like...daily fibo..weekly fibo...channel....to determine S/R area..

Big E ( eelfranz ) also said to write down the time when the pair has the most movement....so i use some indicator...like..session indicator..breakout box..to watch the price movement...

I exit...when TDI goes flat or hook

am i modifying?

Here are the compilations I prepared back in 2012 for those who feel like learning during the Easter holidays.
Anyway, I fully agree with you GilR, I've been following this thread from the beginning but I've got completely lost in the last year or so. One can hardly see what is TMS about.

I think when we add those or any other indicator we are going against YMS unless Eric gave it the tick of approval. For support/restistance, trend etc he wanted us to zoom the chart out and look to the left and read the chart without anything but our eyes. He wanted TMS.

I think when we add Fibs etc we take away the ease he intended, especially for new folk.

What we have on our trading charts on our computers we please ourselves, but post Eric's layout and explain our trades based on that here on FF.

That is what I think is the best way forward and will avoid the ruckess of the last few weeks. We cannot continue fighting, name calling, etc. We must remember that behind each screen name is real person who may not be as tough as you think.

I believe going and putting some tough rules in concerning posting some of the old hands may return.

Anybody have a better idea?
