Trading Made Simple

{quote} Finding trades with TMS might take you time, lots of time, but at the end you will get a lot of trades and most of them will be successful trades, at one stage I was in ur position with time it become easier {quote} I had short bias on EA and since news was due, it was only finding a plan, based on structure I added my pending order way above than potentially price could reach without a news spike, so I was waiting an outside bar to get me in...... Very nice TSS, clever entry

Hi Next,

You can use CM to set different exits at defined number of pips after you placed one single entry order. CM will only move the SL for the remaining open order but not individually for the different batch exits.
Two important things to know:
1) when we run CM in our trading PC, we must make sure the PC is running when we have open trades manage by CM.
2) we must not change the chart timeframe when we have open trades manage by CM.

Hi HSN,

just follow my last 3 weeks post on GBPUSD, the current pull back from the Monthly highs seen on D1 chart but no sellers.
Wait till the UK elections is over to see what the market confidence would be like in the newly elected party or coalition parties to form the Government.
Meantime trade H1.

Good afternoon EMMANUEL,

I am using DOTs (V3) which was shared by you once. I have gone thorough the menuals too. At the end, i have set up my chart. Would u be kind enough to check whether I have set up the indicator correctly or not.

Thnks in advance.

Hi,

That DOTs trading was posted by other members not me. DOTs is a commercial product of CompassFx and has nothing to do with TMS 5-Method.

When you set up that indicator, you need to align the broker server time and the London open hour according to what your chart shows.
On your Market watch window you will see your broker server time. You align that with what the GMT time is.
London is now GMT+1 with DayLightSavings DST. So you need to align that time on your chart setting too.
All time references are made to the actual GMT clock time.

You might want to consider not making that indicator public.
Judging from the name DOTS_Method_v3-02(edu).ex4, it has been "educated", call home removed sort of speaking

Hi Emmanuel 7788 about this " You can consider your exit percentage of the trades. TP1 to exit 50% at +25pips that will give you 1R (2 x 0.5R) TP2 to exit 25% at +50pips that will give your 1R. TP3 to exit 25% at +100pips that will give you 2R. The win rate for TP1 is very high above 85% and this is very important to use multi-lot entry. Exit management: - you can consider reducing risk for TP2 by moving its SL to -25pips(0.5R) after TP1 exit. - also TP3 can be reduce the same way or you move only when market move 50pips (1R). You can use this same...
Hi Pinux,

Manage-Losses by batch.
This is to reduce your open position by taking small losses when your trade is caught in a retracement immediately after your entry. This happens often and you did not have any chance to take partial profits by scaling-out.
below is an example showing how your overall risk can be reduced by taking out some portions of your open position with small losses instead of one huge total loss of -50pips.

First thanks for your help and answer
now i have understood the "loss batch" :-)

My idea was a "stop loss" jump from the initial value (ex 50pips.) -> when the price go the first take profit, ( +25 pips) , the stop loss decrease to -25 pip below entry for have the tradde more "space for not was hit" ,and the trade is free from loss , if i set "trailing stop 20" the stop loss go directly from -50 to entry price ora above not?

But my bad english is a wall for speak me clearly i think
thanks far all and good trade

Experts,

Please help guide me. I'm constantly running into trade situations like the one highlight in below. TDI angle looks good, bar is big enough and stochs are confirming. How to avoid such entries or at least how to handle such trades once i'm in?

GA Entry on a classic Triple Top and PCRF formation on LO. Entry aggressive on third setup candle.

Trade lasted 38 minutes, TP hit 7 minutes before red news on GBP. Was gonna close it anyway if TP wouldn't have been hit.
Order on a break of APRIL LOW (1.9)

Emmanuel & others, I received your e-mail...I'm doing good! (Thank you) My ex-wife died & my son moved in with me so my situation has changed. Here is what I'm doing. I use the Synergy Pro system (in the paperclip). I'm using 2 different set-ups. (1) In the Asia session on the last 4 hour candle before the L/O I'm placing trades on the 4 hour & daily chart. I let these trades run while I'm sleeping through the London session, I liquidate out in my morning N/Y session. Just like Eelfranz taught us. (2) Then I start trading the N/Y session on the...

Hi emmanuel
Nice trade but isn't it risky to sell nearby structure? were there other factors you considered that will help break the support (ie News, Fast price movement?)
