Why would you buy in the first place when EURUSD and euro in general is losing ground all all over the place? Rates will be cut, this is currently being priced in. Buying eurusd is suicide at the moment...

I did not know that. But I based that trade purely on H4 chart technicals I saw at that moment.
Therefore I always have a Plan A and a Plan B.
In some instances, I do have a Plan C to execute.

Check out the forex factory main page, they have a good section with economic news. Where did Big E talk about recovery trades in TMS? I'd like to learn how he handled that.

thanks for the FF news.

I do recovery trade following the same TMS 5-Method trade setup rules for entry and exit.
I did not learn recovery trade from eelfranz but from another experienced trader in old CHS thread.
That works for me after some time of practice.

What is a Jumping Stop Loss - never seen this term before? Also are you using CaveManager for the trailing stop?

The difference is with a jumping stop of for instance 30 pips, when the trade goes 30 pips in your favour it will move to BE and then doesn't move for another 30 pips, so when it is 60 pips in profit the stop loss will jump to +30 pips.

Good luck to those who really keep it simple.
TSM is the main thing I looked at in my example. The other indicators I use for reinforcement of my confidence in the signal.
As is pointed out, this can be ambiguous and it does obfuscate the original tsm plan. My apologies. I did not wish to hijack or obfuscate the thread.

Hello TMS folks,

Glad to catch up with member snarlyjack. He is one of the pioneer members who is very close to eelfranz in the early years when he started to share the 5-Method and CHS thread.

here is where snarlyjack is today:
http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...22#post7498422

He shared some very interesting findings in that thread.

Hi gavman,

There are different forex exit strategies. Just google "forex exit strategies" and you will find plenty of online resources.
Jumping Stop Loss is a term used in SteveHopwood' Multi Purpose Trade Manager MPTM found in the Commercial Content forum in FF.
I do not use THV CaveManager so I do not know how that EA was programmed and with what exit strategy.
Jumping Stop discussion can be found in other forums and I followed the discussions in the babypips fourm many years ago.

There is a different between Breakeven Stop and Jumping Stop.

Breakeven Stop is the number of pips the market move then we move our initial Stop Loss to breakeven level which is usually Entry Price + few pips to cover spread and our screen time.

Jumping Stop can be smaller than the Breakeven Stop.

In all my trades, I use position sizing, so my initial stop loss is my risk 'R' of my trade. With that R (in pips) , I calculate my trade position size.

I will move my trade(s) to BE when the market move +1R.

Only after my trade(s) are at BE level, then only I will activate my Jumping Stop Loss JSL.

Some traders activate their JSL immediately after opening a new position.
See chart example below using yeterday's GBPJPY trade as example.

GBPAUD +19, AUDUSD +10.
Entered after massive H4 engulfing bar and set automatic 10 pips trailing stoploss. Probably too tight. Still happy to make some pips.

EURAUD hit TP +50 pips.
Had more luck with this one. Same engulfing bar entry except I entered on a H1 chart. Also 10 pips trailing stoploss.

USDJPY hit TP 20 pips. Simple TDI turning down, with the short term trend.
Average daily range is only 47 pips, so, I thought 20 was a reasonable target.

Only GBPCHF trade remains, currently at +6 pips.

edit - GBPCHF closed at BE +2 pips.

{quote} Well in my case I spent 9 months away from this thread studying price action. So sometimes I can't help but notice them I guess, it's become second nature When I discovered this thread I was so new. I was so excited reading Phx62's trades and really, really wanted to be as good as him. But the amount of analysis he did really overwhelmed me... he considered so many things that I was totally lost and blown away. I tried to trade like Phx62, which I failed miserably. The word price action was mentioned many times in his pdf and that's...
Hi Direwolf,
Thanks so much for showing commitment to self improvement brings rewards and results... trading isnt easy.

{quote} Hi tryding90, Yes, that is a valid D chart TMS 5-Method setup. There is also a major support. Zoom out of your chart and you will see a support which was tested before that D Pin Bar occur. See my post above to explain the D chart setup and entry technique. regards, EMMANUEL Eidt: BTW, I replied your PM. Also I did a demo trade using your post but have not have time to post on Friday. Will do so later. It sunday morning and I am off to shoot some waves.

Even so, based on technicals, EURUSD was making lower highs/lower lows. Good thing you had a plan B, I guess.

This pair made a very strong down move.
So we form a D bias with that D candle, but look to the left where support and resistance is.
When Tokyo open today, do you want to by buyer or seller when trading intraday no matter what TMS setup condition shows.

Here is an example EURNZD how it traded today on H1 intraday.
