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. {image}
Are those bollinger bands on your chart?

{quote} 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...
What I understand from the chart is that u can look for PA and TDI on higher time frame to be in the OB or OS zones ie 68 and 32 and then look on lower time frame to go in the opposite direction ie

On the GU chart, TDI and PA was in the OB zone 68 then a trade can be taken based on TDI cross on PA to go short on lower time frame ie H1

Is that when you meant?

The red line is too flat for my liking. I would not have taken this trade too. I rather be late taking this when the red line is sloping in the direction of the green. Just my 2cents

This template that I use is an s/r template only. Signals come from the TDI with confirmation from the stochs. You have to study pips. Most of you do not have an efficient way to monitor s/r. This is what big e calls the basics. The template that I use makes the basics idiot proof. Use the signals, and watch s/r.

No, each TDS chart is different. Study the crosses. But, to ally your fears as to my analysis, here is my blotter.

One more thing, for your continued education on how to trade TMS, a few words from Big E.

Dyekid217... Good analysis buddy...

I get a little frustrated when people keep adding stuff and then posting it on the forum. I repeatedly ask others to PM others on the thread with the new ideas and not posting them. At least PM me with their ideas...

The main entry rule is: green crossing red on the TDI within the first 2 candles for an entry...



I don't care what the red TDI line is doing.

Belief is irrelevant. Proof is all that matters. Trade the method strictly and you will make money. I will say again, the template that I use is for s/r only. Signals are taken at proper TDI crosses alone. These signals are taken every four hours only, based on if I am awake and near my PC.

Trade this right and you will make money. I posted signals and blotters two weeks ago, and I am doing on request again for one week.

{quote} 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?

Hi jmn,

My aim is to trade pure PA, with minimal indicators, looking to trade with the prevailing trend after pull backs to support/resistance levels.

In theory this is easy but putting it into practice on a live chart is not so easy.

I'm using TMS as a means of executing trades whilst still looking to be trading with the trend after pull backs to support/resistance levels.

Out of curiosity, what made you enter this on the third candle? Wouldn't this be a no go according to TMS?

Hi flinx,

My charts include a Sunday candle.

The setup candle was on Friday 4th July the entry was yesterday 7th July.

I'm not always waiting for the green to cross red as long as the angle of the green line is 4 to 6 for going short or 12 to 2 for going long and PA looks good then I will set a pending order.
