Just to get an idea, how many pairs does everyone here monitor? I have all 28 major pairs and crosses up on my screen and it doesn't take too long to go through them quickly to see if the TDI has crossed/bounced at candle open but I am looking to cut down on the ones I monitor. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Sorry! Wasn't meant to be a negative post or to provoke.

You are correct, Babypips is great to give yourself a foundation to build your knowledge off! It won't make you a successful trader though. You will need to dig a bit deeper.

TMS is a great basic system to start with and potentially build something big from!

Cheers

Hi Kanderpro,
I have studied his posts...he just seemed like an honest guy trying to give interested people a deeper understanding of what FX trading is all about using TMS as the backbone. I am really not sure what he gained from it.
I had a look over his charts and he is using the basic TMS chart... every time! More so than some of the other PRO's here!
Yes he mentioned the EA lately which is very interesting but as I don't use EAs it doesn't affect me.

Anyway, I guess we all see and read what we want.

Cheers

Another week, another dollar ----- no daily trade for me today.

As expected a slow day and in any event it is always a little tricky to open a daily trade on Monday

Back for 6am London 4h trading

this week im going to switch to a broker that has a new candle 8am uk time, and 12pm, and be flat at the 4pm uk candle

i think that by the time london gets going you can see momentum in the pairs that will be making moves. closing at 4pm is fine for me as its at the end of the NY/LON overlap and moves still tend to have steam during 12-4pm


please keep us posted with your Big E / Bizzle style trades

Hi, new here (from RJ's thread, going to study another system while honing my Genesis skills). At 1 hour prior to LO, was there an entry for long with GJ? I thought the angle was good (TDI between 1-3 o'clock). Any reason why it wasn't good? I also entered the EA daily, this one was questionable.

Thanx ahead of time.

I personally won't be trading 4H London strategy today due to bank holidays. I think the market is likely to be quiet this week. Time for some backtesting

Best of luck
Focus on the process and the profits will follow

Entry at the red line. 1PM my time or 6AM London at 172.36 GJ. Correct entry or no? It is above the 68 TDI line, not sure if this is a good trade per TMS system.

Hunter,

According to TMS system, entry should be on candle 1 or 2 following a colour change. Since HA candles average a run of 3-8 candles, entering on candle 1 or 2 stacks the odds in your favour. The red line on your chart is on the third blue candle so this would be an invalid entry according to the TMS rules. Clearly the trade looks like its working out in your favour in this case but just something to bear in mind

Best of luck

Are you trading a real account?

Because with the attitude "I'm here so I've got to trade something" it isn't going to last long!

Good luck with the trading

{quote} Steve it is time to keep attitude to yourself. We are all about fed up with provocation. Now if you have something constructive to say about the trade you have the floor.
Hi GilR, with all due respect looking from the outside i think Steve as well as everybody else wants to see your trade go positive for you but i can see that he was just trying to help you with patience, being a quiet day due to holidays he strikes me as being somebody that waits for A+ set ups, nothing wrong with that.
