{quote} I missed the one on EN, but it looks beautiful. My 6am: - EURCAD long bounce trade. A small fall during the news, but my 2% stop loss held and everything went ok. Closed with 40+ pips Stoch and TDI reaching overbought, may still continue, but I really liked the relaxed approach of "you have to get what the market gives you"{image} I didn't take any GBP pairs due to heavy news today and with CAD, NZD and USD news in the afternoon I think I'm done for today.

I took the exact same one. Also took a short on G/J. Worked out beautifully.

{quote}Whichever timeframe I'm working on I always take my lead from the timeframe above it, so if on daily I look at the W1 chart and let that be my guide, take a look at the daily with the w1 mtf tdi on there and take a look and see if they still look like good trades.
Thank you for helping me with that

10 am trade GU short
Called it a night after going +35 p to close out at +18 pips.

Still a good positive day even with the D trade setbacks

Long GBPUSD, aggressive trade as front ran the TDI a bit as I was confident a new demand zone was developing. Already in profit.

Update, managed to mess up my trailing stop and got stopped out on 15 point SL!!

Morning Everyone, thank you all or all the lovely PM and messages... I have had a long weekend to think and reflect and have decided I will continue here to help honour Big E thread and help all of us to gain more confidence in this amazing and simple system
Glad you're back

Welcome surprise coming back from dinner to get EN +46, EG+26 and I closed NU for +3 as it was going nowhere. Lost 85 pips on day trade, but in reality only 43 as I trade half my H4 position So a little in front, looking for another trade setup
Nice! TMS confidence + 1

{quote} Your TDI looks different? TDI & Stochastic are together. Can you share your indicator?
It's "TDI Red Green.mq4" with changed colours and "Stochastic Slope.ex4". I just wanted to save some space on the chart so I put them in one window. I didn't like how TDI and Stochs then float around all the time, I wanted a point of reference for both so I set them to a fixed range - TDI with 25-75 and Stochastic Slope with 0-100

Nice results again today GilR,

Do you consider news events at all with your trades?
Focus on the process and the profits will follow

After missing this nice EURAUD rally in the asian session I expected a consolidation and so concentrated on EURJPY instead.

EURJPY H1 trades this European morning

Only small but possitive results - signals didn't really pay out on this lousy market (or perhaps lousy trader!?)
1st after FO: +15 pips
2nd 1 hour after LO: +4 pips

maybe it's God gift to you that you weren't there for the EURAUD , as it looks like the price had exploded out of nowhere in one minute while the setup looks like selling was the sentiment before the news.
I try to find PRCF and take small trades specially in this lousy market .... , two trades from yesterday 16 Pips each and closed before this morning news ....
Green pips to you

I haven't posted to the TMS thread for several years now, but I think that it's time to do so. I have no wish to disturb your thread any more than is necessary, so I will make this *one* post, and take my leave again. Before I begin, for those who don't know me, let me just say that up until quite recently I was part of a team that developed the Genesis Matrix Trading System and ran it's thread here at FF. I closed that thread for reasons that I will touch on shortly, but now I rarely participate at FF. This is one time when something needs to be...

IMHO Genesis Matrix Trading thread was closed because this system doesn't work anymore
maybe due to structural changes of forex market?
i don't know

Exaclty correct jimi...you don't know, and you never did.
That's why you can't trade...by the way, where's your TE gone, hotshot?

Nothing is ever easy, Genesis works if one follows the rules WITH knowledge of forex education (mastering babypips). Regardless this isnt the thread for it.

My trades per TMS:

GU: +14 (Seemed good signal at 10AM)
EG: +26 (TDI, Candle and blasted through MA5, 6AM trade)
GJ: +66 (This one was iffy prior to Euro Open, barely passed the MA5 when i placed the trade, saw it bounce up for -25 but kept it open, 6AM trade)

Monitored these trades and saw it go 80+ for GJ, but wanted to follow the rules of BigE (though he said after 15pip drawback, he would close it). Regardless it's a good results on 2nd day. Hope to get something similar like this for future.

Only 1 trade on NzdUsd at 9am, placed a larger than normal lot size due to ADR of the pair.

Didn't do anything for a long time, but managed to close with +14 pips.

My first trade this week. Slow week.

Welcome back Bizzzle! Glad to hear that you will be contributing to the thread.

Took two trades at 10pm Pacific Time:

EURCHF short for -10 pips
EURNZD long for 43 pips

I set a small SL on the EURCHF trade so it was hit pretty quickly before the price dropped.

Wasn't able to get up at 2am t check for other set ups.

hi pips29, may I know the name of the indicator that displays the direction of W1, D1, H4, H1 on your chart, please? I'll download them from the paperclip. The arrow shown is based on previous candle or current candle direction? Based on candlestick or HA?

Thank you,

3 trades just on EN over the last couple of days. +65, +24 both exited manually at the same time. London closed and it started moving back up without hitting the TP so I took them out. Today's trade, +95, set TP at the 4hr trendline.
