{quote} yes, the evening star is a bottom reversal pattern and will normally work out in a downtrend. I had traded both the morning star/evening star patterns with a lot of success but I pay attention to where they are formed. I am glad you know 3 or even 4 bars candle formation but I would like to know how you would trade when you get a hammer when price is moving up
I took my first chart on MT and looked at the D1 for an example. I found it immediately. The candle marked by the arrow should have provided us with a sell, according to rules. But look what happened. I would have traded it as I said: lower timeframe, and if the TMS gave me a buy opportunity, I would not have hesitated to take it. The pair went up for 250 pips. I do not want to argue with you, you are great at trading, but I know I observed some pretty cool things myself since I began trading.

No hard feelings, I hope.

I wish you a great week of trading, and keep up the good work!

Hi AD, glad u are there in TMS trying your best to make it as simple as it seems, today at LO I took EJ long, was only this trade that I took, FO H1 candle closed above EMA 200 on H1, only small pips but not to give back those pips is a strategy on its own too, as to why I took the trade based on TDI too it was a bounce trade green over red on H1

Small pips overall just over 20 pips but doing that with positive expectancy is all what matters at the end

Would like to welcome back Snarlyjack to the thread again , I know u have traded along side wiht Big E ,,, good luck to all

{quote} why are you offended when I mention 3 or 4 bar formation pattern..emmanuel has reminded us so many times a H4 candle consist of 4 H1 candles and that if you just look at H1 candle without looking at what it forms on H4 we will get ourself in trouble...I was just referring to what you said about it forming a hammer with a 3 bar formation and you get offended...I was not even offended when you told me I got mixed up with the evening star..
Sorry, man, I thought you meant I only know 3 or 4 patterns. I now understand you meant patterns of 3 or 4 bars. My intention was not to offend anyone in any way. I was only trying to say that it may go up, even if we are not at a S level. I am sorry for the misunderstanding!

Thank you ScorpS,

My ex-wife died (she has diabetes) & our son
ended up moving in with me, he was 20 years old.
My ex-wife ended up having a unexpected heart attack.
We had to arrange for the funeral, settle the estate, work
with attorneys, move my son in & kinda get back into sync.
Not to mention the emotional distress of the whole thing.

But were all moving on...& doing pretty good! I just had to
take a break in posting during the whole process & focus on
other more important things. Things are getting back to normal

Thank you for your comments!!!

OK guys ....
FIRST THINGS FIRST .. I DO NOT CLAIM TO BE THE BEST TRADER TO HAVE BREATHED ...
But I'm a successful Trader (in my own right) as my balance sheet at the end of each month reads POSITIVE ...
I win more than I DO LOOSE ... I LIVE ONLY OFF FX TRADING ... MY BREAD ... BUTTER AND BACARDI COMES OUT OFF FX TRADING ...
Second thing ... More important thing at that ... I use VERY FEW INDICATORS ...
My charts have APB candles, Basic TDI, Adaptive 89 EMA (short term trend) and 200 EMA (long term trend) ... NOTHING MORE ...
Naked / Nude things / charts (girls included) ... Convey .. express and shout more than .. when they are covered ...
I define my trades as either Trend oriented or Counter Trend ...
How do I define a Trend? It is very personal and Individualistic ...
As far as I'm concerned ... As I predominantly trade 1H ... If my Adaptive 89 ema is Green on D and 4H ... I'm on uptrend .... If my Adaptive 89 ema is red on D and 4H ... I'm in down trend ...
As soon as I wake up (1 hour into Tokyo) ... I look at all the pairs (13 of them) in my portfolio and qualify them with regards to ADR, their relation to my Adaptive 89 ema, 200 ema and DECIDE IF I'M A BUYER / SELLER for any pair for that particular day ...
Once I decide my bias (buyer / seller), I IGNORE ALL OPPOSITE SIGNALS ... Less confusions / ambiguity that way ...
I do look at previous day Open and Close for my bias ...
My money management / Risk Appetite depends on if I'M A TREND TRADER OR A COUNTER TREND TRADER ...
All my trend trades are standard lots and Counter trend trades are less than 50% of a standard lot ...
More along with my live trades as and when I trade ... But MOST IMPORTANT RULE is ...
"EITHER I TRADE WITH MY PLAN OR I DO NOT TRADE AT ALL"
"I TRADE BECAUSE I SEE A QUALIFIED SET UP WHICH HAS MORE CHANCES OF WINNING THAN LOSING, NOT BECAUSE I HAVE A LIVE ACCOUNT"
Wishing you all GREEN PIPS and GREENER PASTURES

Here you go ...
Adaptive ema is ... when an ema changes its color according to pre defined value ...
You can change it to your own convenience ...
89 suits me ....
Trading is more about individual trader ... please keep this in mind ...
