{quote} Yes , and I printed off the patterns and have 'em pinned on the wall ,so I can learn to see at a glance as they appear I like to get one on H4 , and then trade for small profits within the pattern 'cos I'm not good enough yet to stay in the trades , maybe some day I will be, I hope . I read about the order flow but must admit I didn't really get it . I will have to look at it again . Do you know of any other site where I could study it.? I did post a couple of charts with gartley patterns , but it upset a few people as its not strictly TMS...
Yeah right we cant post in here some patterns so I do that at Mr.pip thread , I hang these animals too at my wall and actually everywhere but what I consider most are ABCD and order flow, order flow is hard I even still didnt get the hang of it

Example today EJ I was looking for long but order flow proved me wrong, and it sink to the bottom so obviously if you look deeper on h4 I saw why the flow was to down side, its was a typical 61.8 fibs retracemnt on H4

{quote} Nice to hear that, is the webinar available anywhere For Mr.pip here you go http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=402253 he is going to do I think order Flow webinar soon, so you can join too
I don't think the webinar is available now. Compassfx have my email and sent me a link to when it was starting. I don't know if they recorded it. You could email Kim at compassfx and ask if a recording is available. Although compass is US based I do remember that the guy who presented was Scottish and London based and I believe does run a trade room for compassfx devoted to order flows and liquidity level. There was a pitch at the end of the webinar and it was pricey, about $3000 if I recall.

{quote} Hey Kahn, I've had a look at this pair and can see that PA turned back once it had reached its ATR . This indie I've attached shows this up. {file}

Hello itsallover,

Thank you very much. That explains & helps a lot however is there any way I could see up to 5 decimal places? I tried modifying it but it will not let me view the code. I can still see those white lines though so it is not a big issue. Just wondering. Thank you once again.

Scorps, your entry on A/U looks similar to mine. From what I gather (and trying to read your mind) you can trade w/o TDI. Just use pa. Well done ,mate

{quote} Scorps, your entry on A/U looks similar to mine. From what I gather (and trying to read your mind) you can trade w/o TDI. Just use pa. Well done ,mate
This trade was pure naked chart trade with harmonic , if you look up H4 , order flow is upside if we measure the impulse leg on the previous uptrend, since PA failed to break the 61.8 and 78.6 on the fibs levels, I was ready to go long from this level, but waiting to trade that with TDI is good too

Still trying to learn supply demand, support resistance and PA as general, but most likely I trade based on harmonic moves ie ABCD

So in this AUD case am looking for 50 pips tp for a completion on ABCD pattern

The above is the same as your last trade on EA , pure harmonic move where 61.8 - 78.6 fibs hold pa and a projection into the PRZ zone where you took your short, well done on all those nice trades u are taking

I am learning a lot from your chart, on daily basis, pls keep them coming and hang with us in the thread

don't know much about harmonics as I can't think well now (must be an age thing). I actually had drawn a tl on H4 and took the long. As far as I know about fibs. is the 78.6 will be last S/R and if broken, means a reversal .Looking at your chart, the TP could be much higher, at D. Am I right?

Most likely yes, for TP u can go really high, but when a structure is broken to 78.6, we have another minor level at 88.6 so can turn things from there, else order flow is still bearish on AUD/USD and for the completion of the previous impulse leg, the profit taking TP can be awarding, for the time being the order flow is bullish

Never mind , lets get back to basic TMS , thanks again

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. {image}...

These two trades have both hit their TPs of 1R each or 130 pips, which means nothing, or 0.5% gain on my account.

What sort of R returns or % of account returns are others making using TMS?

I also entered AUD/USD long yesterday which is hanging in there.

What sort of rules are you using for TP?
Big E seemed to go by the rule of when the TDI levels/hooks to get out. You appear to be using a more S/R type target setting?
