{quote} Hi Erebus, great to hear from you. I believe it was Friday night LO trade (AEST) and not Monday. Kindest regards
Take no notice of that Monday name, it's my pet name for my new method

The chart was to point out the greater trend that is happening

Cheers, great trading by the way!

It takes a lot for me to IGNORE you, but you can try.

p.s. actually i'm having a sell position since last Thursday, and I don't want it to go bullish...

Hi,
I am not an expert, learning as you do but I think momentum is bearish and is going in direction of monthly support. Having say that with TMS I tend to have more simple approach and feel rather than go with analysis paralysis scenario

{quote} Mr. AussieFX. Thanks for all your work here. I am grateful for all your contributions. Do you think the attached chart may have helped and prevent you from entering long on the EA trade? Anytime there is a bollinger squeeze, more often than not there is a fake initial direction. notice that the red dots remained until price action clearly went down and green dots appeared. Per the 30 min chart, there was also strong resistance where you were buying into. {image} {image}
bollinger , keltnerchannel , and any strange indi has nothing to do with tms.

Please stick to this threads rules and donīt mix it with other strategies when you post .
Iīm sure I can find thousands of examples why a chart went up or down in other threads .
Please be so kind and keep it clean .

To anyone lurking the thread (like I used to) I would advise you to try this way of trading if you are still failing.

I am generlly a 50% win rate type of trader with a about 1:1.5 RR. Nothing special. But the fact was I always had too many things in my way when making a trading decision. I would have good months then a string of bad months. The past 2 months I just havint been on my game and I decided to relook at how I was trading. I retook interest in this thread and decided to demo TMS just to see what it would do. Well so far I like the results even though the the sample size is small I am over 80%.

Because there is one thing I have added that helps me make a decision, I wont post any charts in order to respect the purity of the thread. I will say that I can see very soon just using TMS as is will definately be a possibility. Its so simple sometimes that your mind wants you to complicate it when it doesnt need to be.

Myfxbook results just using TMS https://www.myfxbook.com/portfolio/s...demand/1040779


As for me, I will keep track of my progess over the next few months to see what it brings overall.

I am a lurker, been quite busy for a while and now have some time to put to forex and Trading Made Simple. Why i lurk is because the shortened words / nmemonics did not give me to confidence to participate here without " sounding" knowledgeable and successful unless the jargon and nmemonics were used and referenced. Its a big learning curve the whole forex industry. I have tried hundreds of indicators, and have now just come back to the Traders Dynamic Index indicator and a few moving averages and got back into the saddle to trade again. A few losses, a few silly trades, but that is ok because the small lots used are worth the education long term with success and importantly the emotion and mindset change to be consistent, it is working

You do really good if you demo a system for a while before you go live with it.

I trade 2 totally different systems in one account live , one of them is TMS and I like it much -.
I never mix the systems and I never do one pair with a different system for the same time.
I added the TMS after 3 months or so in demoing and I can say it works nicely .
The best " confirmation " is always a forwardtesting for a time .
I really apreciate your kind how to trade successful

The negative divergence - entered into a deal, even before crossing the TDI.
In the second case - Pending Order. The third wave.
Everything went as I was expecting

I might be off topic here but I wonder if someone can tell me where I can download indie which will show me total P/L in pips earned in given day. I have closed few trades and I got profit showed in currency but there is no way to convert that back to pips. Anyone? Please?

{quote} Any hint which the other system is? Thanks and Liebe Gruesse

To be honest , I dont care which it is ,
I only care about the TMS in this thread .

Successful trading means systematic cutting your piece of the cake out of the market.
And mixing systems can only be successful , if you create/ develop a new system with the given tools ( stable working systems or indicators )
and stick to the " new systems" rules and don t mix them .

Stable systematic trading = stable systematic results .
Jumping around is what the marketmakers like, it pays their bills.

I decided quickly when I started trading currencies ,
I don t want to be the stupid idiot who pays the bills for other traders
which stick to their rules .

TMS is one of the most simple systems I have ever seen , and it makes green pips.
No reason to jump around

Guys,

I've just signed up to this forum as I've been reading through this thread with great enthusiasm.
I've just started trading myself after several weeks of testing different strategies on demoes etc. and I've come across this system a few days ago.
As I'm sure you can imagine, it's not easy to read through 2750 pages
A few questions I've got and I apologise if they've already been asked, and answered elsewhere, I've not managed to stumble across the answers.

1) the EMA/SMA line everyone has on their charts, can you confirm the settings for this and which it is? I've seen people say they're using EMA and others using SMA?
2) when told to enter on the 1st or 2nd candle, is that at the opening of the candle or at the closing? I'm very cautious about entering at the opening/midway through a candle as there is always the potential for it to reverse and go against you (especially on a higher timeframe).

Again, I do apologise if I've asked questions that have already been answered.

Everything that has been posted thus far has been fantastic and I commend you all!

MaxFxBrandy,

It will take a lot of time to read 2750pages and 54k of posts. To start with, do it the simple way.
As a beginner, you can read post#52,707 and the pdf attached.

1) the 5-Method uses a 5-period Exponential MA, shifted +3 , set to Typical Price. Read Post#996

2) You should not enter any trade on APB candle#1 and candle#2 until you have mastered how to trade the 5-Method with Price Action at Support and Resistance.

Take your time to read, learn and practise. You will learn quicker when you have your TMS chart setup and follow the market in realtime observing the price movements and see how the TDI and the APB/HA reacts to every price bar.

A very slow GJ trade today with no news to move the market. I set a 40 pip SL below the low of the Frankfurt candle, which is a very small SL for this pair but I did not want to risk any more pips. Fortunately, it did not get hit. Entered one candle late per TMS rules but shortly after LO following a break above the Frankfurt candle and my Asian channel. This was a risky trade because I did not follow all my rules. I won't enter again like that and I knew better when I did it. This time it worked out but the percentages of it working again are not good. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. Back to DISCIPLINE, DISCIPLINE, DISCIPLINE!!!
