Closed the CADJPY 4hr for a loss as it was going against me. GBPUSD I closed half and moved stops.

{quote} Good one as well, EA was ready too at around LO, see Ballisticall following that pair, the last 3 days LO just sold off that pair, with that knowledge alone you can have an edge the last 3 days on this pair
Thank you Scorps for your ongoing charts and kind words,

I decided to follow Phx62's advice and learn the "breathing patterns" of a single currency pair. I've been trading EA H1 exclusively now for 6 weeks with mixed results at first, but more success recently. I really feel like I'm getting to learn how and when this pair moves.

I have found that many times when price is under the 200MA, (as it has been in a down-trend recently) turning points often jump out. I pointed some of these out in Post 43,080. (1st attached image below)

When blue candles appear with long wicks under the 200MA, the retracement leg is exhausting and its time to jump back in on the continuation. The best time to trade these is London Open. (See 2nd attached image showing PA for this week)

I still struggle with trading LO when the trend direction is less obvious, but I'm working on this

Good morning everyone,

I have a couple of tips for you...

The cleaner & simpler your chart the better. If you look at my charts they are
pretty simple & clean. The less stuff on your charts the better.

Trading comes down to "self discipline.

Their are some hard & fast rules to trading & discipline.
1). Don't risk to much money on any trade.
2). Don't over trade.
3). Anyways demo trade first (for a long time) before you go live.
4). Don't over complicate your system.
5). You have to have discipline & emotional control of yourself.

I would suggest that you "google" self-discipline and really study the subject!

To me self discipline is the key to trading. What we do is very disciplined and very accurate.
We are not winging anything, it is a very calculated method of trading & you have to
stay in control of your emotions.

Hi snarlyjack, many thanks for the guiding suggestions! Could you please let us know what you have on your chart [looking @ post 43741] and (if possible) why? Thanks!

Quoting TheScorpS
Today trades, EJ and EA trades, EJ opened following my setup which was ready before LO, EA followed it at LO EA +50 and EJ +55 I was in a GJ trade as well, but that went with lots of chopines and drawdown, closed at BE , later on the market went deeper down, but was not at PC to manage the trade and might get some of that as well All trades following TMS and cross of TDI at the open of the trades {image} {image}
Hi TheScorpS,

Why do you short EurJpy? Do you short before the FO candle closed? The candle before you short seemed like a pullback candle..

Regards,

{quote}The Au trade was against the D1 tdi which although some people don't like to look at the higher timeframe, you will find a lot of false signals are eliminated that way. With regard to the candle count, yes you are correct, eelfranz always said that a move will be an average of 3-8 candles of the same colour so to keep the odds in your favour it is better to get in earlier than later. As far as support/resistance go if on h4 I don't look at daily s/r I look at weekly and monthly.
Dear Lastingwell,
I took this EURCAD for+30pips on average but have 2 questions for you:
1- Was it a perfect setup?
2- I entered when I saw a good TDI cross in a good context, however the H1 candle was in its first quarter at the entry moment. Was it too risky & I should've stayed for it to be closed? If so, I would miss the main movement!!!

There was a tms watchdog signal of a cross on my chart at the beginning of the candle you entered on, thats where I would have entered not wait for it to be closed.

very nice trade !!

I took a GJ D1 demotrade and I was 50 pip sin profit .. ,
now itīs only about BE, but I ll let it run until D1 tdi shows me an exit .

I like the idea much to transfer H4 trades to daily trades much , like Snarlyjack recomments .
But wasnīt on my screen for 2 days, so I missed the entry by H4 .

Great trade lorbax! Are you finding the D TF better than 1,4H in terms of win% ?

Griffinssoul,

Nice meeting you.

My post # 43741, what my chart looks like.

Basic TMS set-up with level's (s/r) & long term guppys.

The market is either trending or ranging in it's movements. 30% of the time
it is trending. The long term guppy is excellent in trending markets and will
show you the way. 70% of the time the market is ranging and will bounce from
level to level. You need s/r levels to guide your trades.

So the levels & guppy show you the playing field. The Tdi will gage, overbought/oversold
conditions and market sentiment and the price action channel (pac) will give you
entry's, exits & market chop.

Used together as 1, they work to tell you where the market is and where it is likely
to go.

My favorite saying is: Bulls make money, bears make money, pigs get slaughtered.
Bulls & bears know exactly what they are doing...

Anyone using the TMS expert advisor(aka TMS Monitor)?

If so have you got any tips on when to take the trade?

What time of day works best? Do you wait for candle to close? Do you wait for confirmation on multiple time frames? what time frames work best?etc

Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks
