Erebus,

Long story but my computer went down today & I just got it fixed, yea.

Thank you for the Daily Open Line indicator! I will test it out but so far it looks good.

Thanks,

Hi everyone, I have a question for pac users. Lets say were looking for a short opportunity and all the signals are there (stoch, tdi etc) When we see price close beyond the pac is that our entry? Even if price starts to pull back slightly on the next candle do we trust the signals? Trust the break of the pac? Ive made some good trades and feel quite comfortable analyzing a pairs direction for the longer teem and am fine with picking entry points i think my biggest issue is my own mind. I miss some great opportunities because i see a slight pullback...
Haydo,

In my trading the entry's are good. The pac works good, trust it!
The problem is maximizing the exits, that is where I struggle.
I'm checking out Erebus new Daily Open indicator with levels. I
have high hopes for it...

If price starts to pull back a little, don't panic & use a set & forget
strategy. Set your stop just above/below the pac (give price some
room to breathe). My usual trading style is...set your price target, set
your stop & let price do it's thing. It either hit your price target or it hit's
your stop. You need to let the %'s work out & let your edge play out.

If everything looks good, tdi, levels, trend, higher time frame, momentum, etc.
I'll jump into a trade early...but you must remember that it is higher risk jumping
in early. Practice both ways & get a good feel for the whole process...and see
which way is better for you.

{quote} That's your call. In my newbie opinion, if you want to trade price action better take the pullback opportunities, however beware with big spikes counter pullbacks. Has SJ use to say "that's no man's land". But that's also the essence of price action traders. I guess you must judge well. No hesitations nor itchy fingers. Regards
Horus,

I'm basically a price action trader that really like's the Tms system.
Their are time's (a pin bar for example) that the tdi & pac will be in
the wrong location for a Tms entry. But for a price action entry they are
excellent. But this is more advanced trading...but the entry is their.

Emmanuel, Phx62, Erebus, myself, plus a lot of other traders definately
look at the price action & the shape of the bars (pin bars, inside candles,
mother candles, etc) price action trading is a learned skill... It all
takes time to learn, don't rush the process, take your time & learn it all correctly.

Rupasi,

I think that special character '§' came from your computer' character set.
Normally, if the programmer had used the Wingdings code in mql4, then that should appear using the code 158, see below mql4 code table.

Hi Erebus,

Thanks for the on-chart explanation and the indicator. Good stuff.

I tried to make one of my own, same idea but I was doing it the same way the !SM_ADR Marker.
Going forward, I will use this one you shared here.

Thank you and it is good to see you in this thread.

kind regards,

{quote} Hi Emmanuel I am wandering why would you take this trade. The daily TDI is strong bearish and even the 4hr TDI is going south? I am asking if it's okay to trade counter trend since I have missed so many profitable trades with this system just because I didn't have courage to enter counter trend.

Hi iCarumba,

You should know that I trade different timeframes using TMS. I can have open trades on D1 chart and when I trade H1 Intraday, I can be trading the counter trend setups and against the Daily bias. I have different trading accounts for D1 trades and for H1 trades.
When I take any counter trend trades, I will reduce my risk percent. Normally, I would risk 1% to 2% per trade, in case of counter trend trades, I simply reduce to 1% risk. It is not a big deal to lose some H1 trades, because the overall Win rate and Expectancy is more important.

EURUSD had been trading within a range for the whole month of Feb. It should be interesting next week and the rest of this month Mar to see where it will go to.

Hi Emm this pair scares me at the moment, if it breaks the 1.00 i think it will become very volatile.

And thanks for the feed back on yesterdays trade.

ATR 7 . Read stuff about ADR and 1h so ! thought ATRs inclusion of weekends may give distortion. So I checked for ADR and 1hr TMS trading. Need all the help I can get.
