I would just like to say a huge thank you to all, no matter where you are in the world, who contribute to this TMS thread. Since discovering it in October, I know I have learned far more here than in my previous 7 years of off/on trading. Trading is now enjoyable and far less of a challenge. So again thank you to all and have a happy and peaceful Christmas and New Year, Ray

Hi guys, I ve been following this thread silently for quite some time now. Its really great having such a supportive group here..!I ve been studying most of Big E's posts, Phx62's pdf-s, Lastingwell's posts and many other senior traders here. I adopted Big E's TMS, Phx62's studies and Lastingwell's HTF MTF TDI and her supp/demand indicator for S&R levels into my trading plan. I enter mostly on H1 during the London session. I am having difficulties trying to be profitable with TMS and I sincerely hope my fellow seniors here could share their...
Nice meeting you!
It's really hard for me to see the trend because your picture's are so close
to the market. Overall I think your on the right track. Once were through the
Christmas season we'll help you get dialed in.
Welcome to Tms...

Edit: I've found those trades on my charts. So from my point of view, the first trade not the best angle on the tdi, if you're looking at PA, price made a higher low, then a lower high that to me means its ranging for the moment and taking into account the time of day I wouldn't have taken it.
2nd Trade, I'm not sure where you took it so would need that chart, that can't be a screenshot at the time you took the trade because the candle is blue and h4 tdi is stepping up.
3rd trade is right on top of the support you have on the chart, all you could do then was pray it went through but h4 tdi is not in agreement its stepping up and along with being a 75 pip signal candle, I wouldn't have taken it .

Just a quick summary for the past 4 W (anything before this was embarrassing 
cause i didnt know what i was doing):
W1(24/11) : 4 trades : 130pips
W2(01/12) : 6 trades : 185pips
W3(08/12) : 7 trades : 339pips
W4(15/12) : 11 trades : 370pips (there was the AChf trade that I pushed from W3(triggered) to W4(exit))
This makes 27 trades, 21 wins, 5 BE, 1 lose : 1024pips (465 Heavy / 559 Light)
Gaining confidence slowly... hoping to maintain this W results in the new year... a big thanks to all my fellow traders for the support day-in day-out - a big thanks to all seniors for carrying us noobs through the war-zone

Lastingwell,
I am using a separate broker that uses a web-trader to execute my trades therefore I couldn't display my entries and exits on this MT4. My trades were taken as follow:
1. GBPJPY (17.12 at London Open + 4 hrs),
2. EURJPY (18.12 at LO when PA went below FO's low at 145.788) and
3. GBPNZD at (19.12 at LO + 4 hours).
I think I remember your H4 candle open-s timing is a little different from mine. Attached is my H4 charts (Red Vertical and Horizontal marks entry). At entry, as the H4 candle has not locked yet, H4 TDI green was slightly below red. (Attached is my H4 chart for EURJPY - Trade 2)
I agree with you on your analysis on GBPNZD. I guess at the candle OPEN, the H1 TMS cross angle of Green below red and yellow under 50 was given too much weight for entry.
For GBPJPY (Trade 1), I shall start to look at TDI cross angles + PA HL and LL too. But why wouldn't you consider entering at that time of day? (NYO - 1hr) Is it because the next candle is NYO?
