{quote}{quote} Thanks , I wondered if it was to do with the upside down V , I've noticed before they often work out well and the beat the TDI cross 'to the punch '
Hi Robuk, you're absolutely right and well spotted. Here's a great tip an 85 year old profesional trader I know gave me. Put a 3 ema on your chart, if you're on a black background colour it white or hot pink or something that will stand out, if grey background make it black, and make it double width. This makes the V very visable a bit like a spearhead shape. This guy trades these all the time, trend or counter trend and makes tons of pips daily. He trades 5min charts as that was how he was trained, but works on any timeframe. I started using it a while ago going in on the second colour change (reversal) candle. I usually trade 15min charts. Pretty much a tdi trade but oftentimes gets you in early.

H1 shows a possible short entry (soon) H4 candle is red but H4 TDI pointing up ...

Iīm really a newbie in the TMS system , but one thing every newbie should know :
if you donīt have a " clean and clear" valid entry , do not trade .
Higher timeframes have more power than the lower ones.
Next thing itīs not a TMS template ( may be Iīm wrong ? ) no heiken Ashi iin it , whatīs one of the most important things in this thread.
If you have another "system " follow their rules.. but mixing is only cool in cocktail bars.
Sry for that harsh sounding words.

Can you explain more what you mean with V-formation? Double top or what?

There is not a lot can be explained except it looks like a V shape, if you do as tanglewood suggested and put the 3ma onto your chart you will see it.

as far as I know the heiken Ashi is more important for the exit handling ... or am I wrong about?
sometimes I had problems w/ HA entrys because it masked the candles too much (price action and candle direction for entrys)

HA or synergy bars are used for entry also, because according to TMS we go in on the 1st or 2nd candle of the same colour. It is true that they mask the japanese candle but thats the whole point of them. They are far better though for newer traders, they don't need to know if the previous bar was a bearish engulfing or a hangman and what it means etc etc, they just watch for a change of colour, because when that candle pattern is confirmed the candle will change colour. I havent yet seen a confirmed candle pattern that the HA/Synergy bar hasn't shown up.

I also am not really comfortable with heiken ashi -- but itīs part of the strategy and
as long as Iīm not a "developer " , as long I stick to the systems parts .
Itīs simple and I keep it simple.
More information than needed always confuses the trader IMO.( for me it does )
Hereīs a template , I found it anywhere on the first 100-200 pages on this thread, it has both parts.
heiken ashi + normal bars

I wonder if there is any hope for me !! 3 short trades taken on GA today ( which went down 130 pips today )
and I managed :- a loss of 25, a BE , ( which at one point was over 30 pips in profit ), and another loss of 30 .. Total minus 55
Ahem...... rather less than magnificent so , any struggling traders , don't give up , you are not alone
Edit . I did manage +7 pips from EA which went down over 100

Dont worry robuk, I have been doing exactly this, actually not so far ago, and still might be a long way before I completely get rid of such trading decisions, so definitely count me in

Thanks for your kind words of support , but you are being far too modest , I think from what you have posted before that we probably started around the same time , and you are many miles ahead of me . Now that fact doesn't bother me , I am delighted you are doing so well , and that you are also helping everyone along the way .
I just feel so stoopid , but hey not giving up , someday soon maybe I get my 'AHA ' moment .
EDIT. your chart and advices had not opened when I replied , so thanks again , I will study what you are trying to teach me and try to apply it .
I wish you Good Trades for next week.

Some months ago, or a year ago, Phx62 posted a Gold hourly chart trading TMS, do any traders have this chart, I am looking for it, I am not sure if its in the books, I dont see them there, so if anyone has that can you post it?

Thanks and would like to study that chart over the weekend
