Hello gavman: Regarding Cavemanager, I have tried performing what your are attempting to do many times, and in the end, I just couldn't waste anymore time on it and I feared bringing it up here in the TMS forum. I use HF as a broker, and they are a GMT -2 broker in confluence with Big E's candle timing. I've also tried the mptm, with which I had even worse results. I'm guessing it's contingent on the broker you use. I thought I would give you feedback albeit negative, rather than sit and say noting at all. I understand your frustration because if...
Thanks Darranforex - glad to hear I am not the only one struggling with this. Didn't think it would be an issue bringing this up in this forum, because it doesn't take away from the TMS system of trading. In my view how we choose to manage our trades and our money is outside of that. Thanks for sharing your experience - if i do figure it out I will let you know.

I hope someone out there is in the same boat as me with trying to balance trading times and still having a life. I am trying to set up CaveManager to help me to 'set and forget' trades that will run through my night time. I am trading mostly H4 charts and sometimes trade H1 when I have the time. My trade entries are pretty good using almost pure TMS, but my exits suck big time - mostly too early Reading the Cavemanager manual - I saw the description of this setting; Use_Preceding_TP "This option is used together with trailing stops to move Target...
I started today a 2-3% emergency stop loss and ATR trailing stop, I have 3 positions open so we will see how it goes. Apart from the lack of scaling I find built -in trailing-stop quite good

Only that I think that 'buy' area might get taken out (I don't think there is much demand there). Also Carney/BoE stuff tomorrow so will see how GU positions itself prior to that.

Took a short on the AU earlier when the TDI was in the 68 zone on the H1. Took a look at the M15 to confirm and found a nice setup there.
I set Cavemanager to 'Use_Preceding_TP' but it did not seem to work, otherwise I would still be in the trade....

Nice


EURAUD and AUDCHF whipped hard, I totally didn't expect such a turn... "One of those days".

EURAUD double bottom forming around 1.46650, I'll be looking for a bounce to enter later or tomorrow.
AUDCHF hit resistance at 0.83250, looking for TDI to flatten and a bounce.

Sounds good gavman, probably a good idea to fly under the radar and PM me if you figure it out. I would welcome the information. If we resolve the issue, we will post the intel here for all in the TMS tribe to benefit.

EURAUD almost got me slaughter, manually exited with small gain. Negative rates is getting real.

btw which EA are you guys using, I only have one bubble that represents closed position, however most of you guys have 2 bubbles, open and close respectively. I'm using Cave Manager.

Thank you

Hi Emmanuel, normally position taken is at the break out of the Master Candle's wick or its closed?

Hi Pastecopy,

You can take the trade on the break of the first inside bar as long as the TDI PL Green cross above the TSL Red.
or you can wait till there is a strong candle break the high of the Master Candle.

EMMANUEL
