Here is a good cross, however this candle was 1hr and 19 minutes late. I like to take them within 30 minutes of bar start when possible.

Thanks for the heads up on this trade. What indicators are you using on your main window to get the vertical colors? Would I need that for the TDI trading?

NO.

The other stuff is all S/R stuff. If you want the template google nanningbob 10.7. It is a S/R template designed specifically for use with other systems.

I always enter a trade with a pending order to try and avoid the market reversing on me.

{quote} Hi Janfx, As I mentioned earlier, look at D1 chart to see if TDS > 68 or Stoc>80, if there is a short signal on H1 chart, I would not get in yet as price might go higher and my short could be stopped out before it came down toward my profit target, and would not go long yet if either TDS<32 or stoc<20 on D1. Many of us would want to get in at top/bottom but we don't know if we are really at top/bottom until price makes new high/low.
Would you share an example please, these informatin are veryy important, ven just picking any random chart to show how you interput the D candle with TDI OB and OS to search for trade on H1 or H4

Mble can show market sentiment too, in case of Gold short and looking at the weakness on seller on H1 and up rising MBL, that shows that the uptrend is still intact , Emmanuel used to say never short on Uprising MBL

Good Luck , and hope you manage well and many green pips to you

I've only got the Price Action Channel (PAC) which is part of the Synergy Pro APB indicator.

Yes, I know what they are. This is not an original concept. I was wondering why they are there. Do you use Synergy Pro as part of your trading strategy? If so, why?

You might find it easy by looking at my GU d1 & h1 where pink vertical lines marked on both D1 & H1 chart. Some of us here were/are new to TMS and only focused on green crosses red (I did) and entered from H1 and got stopped out a few times and got mad at the market and the method ( I did ). Of course now I know that candle size is important too as it tells us if buyers or sellers are strong at the time. Well, that's my observation, others have different view to share like I learnt from Lastingwell's charts about leaving enough room to move between green red to MBL (yellow) where Big E did not have yellow line on his chart.

I've entered USD/JPY and EUR/JPY D1 short trades.

I only trade with 0.25% risk because at times I can be in up to four trades at a time.

By doing this I feel more comfortable how many of us are ready to accept a losing streak of 20 trades in a row at 1% risk thats 20% draw down at 0.25% it's 5% draw down it's far better to grow an account slowly than run the risk of a margin call.

This is only my opinion, what I'm comfortable with, it's taken a while, for me, to realise that growing my account slowly will keep me trading for the long run.

From my D1 view:
- EG still at o/s (D1 stoc is around 20 level , if u had tight SL, u would be stopped out as price came back before it heads up toward your PT.
- GCHF at o/b so too expensive to buy, but if your Pt is small it might deliver pips. I would wait for a buy signal appear after retrace/correction.

Thats good money management steve.

I missed your answer about my query as to the PAC on your chart. Do you take parts of the Synergy strategy to trade with? I am curious as to why you have adopted that position?
