{quote} Nice piece of modern art. I bet it is titled 'In Search Of The Holy Grail' I would suggest you post on the thread you found it on for more info. Or download the 2 or 3 indicators you need for the TMS method and start learning from this thread.
Modern Art? You are too diplomatic I guess ...

I would apreciate it if you guys open a thread to discuss the method.


Its a daily open breakourt system( DOTS = DAILY OPEN TRADING SYSTEM ) ,
what is as a additional information nicely .. but in the end it has nothing to do with TMS .

Don t get me wrong . I think its intresting.. but in a seperate thread .

Thx Guido

Hi Emmanuel, As a new trader can you please give me your thoughts using TMS against the trend and divergence, I am a little sketchy on this, it seems Big E was taking some trades against the trend sometimes with possible divergence unless i have that wrong?

CT trades are always dangerous ...
I do trade CT trades, but by reducing both my lot size and target by more than 50% of trend trades ...
Divergences are tricky ... Do bear in mind couple of things about divergences ... A divergence in HTF should be traded ONLY in LTF ... A divergence should be either at OS or OB regions to be qualified as divergence ... A divergence again is a point / parameter ... All divergences do not work out ... We have to have other PA related entry rules to get with divergence ...
My 2 cents ......

Hi,

Check EU ... Had Bullish Divergence on both 4H and 1H ...
Either you could have traded 4H Div on 1H or 1H Div on 15M ...
You cant not trade 4H Div on 4H ...
hope it helps ......

{quote} Well, I am in vacation but my trading goes on running in my VPS. I just need to initiate my first trade, then ME/ME trade manager takes care of the position building and exiting my trades when the market reaches my preset TP levels and will also open a new basket if I preset that. Otherwise, it stops trading. When my TMS Monitor send me email alert of potential trades in H4 and D1, I just login to my VPS wherever I am and can find an internet connection. USDCAD is bullish and I have a few trades running. Just close some ME/ME trades this...
Hi Emmanuel, hope you're enjoying your holiday! I have been eyeballing the different currencies for a setup and I have not seen any good setup last week and this week. Can you share this TMS Monitor? Will definitely help to reduce the strain on my eyes

{quote} Enjoy your time off! I did not realize that you used an EA actually to do this sort of position building. So there is clear rules defined? Or do you take small lots on 15M or 1H when you are actually around to trade? Could you talk a bit about these rules? This is grid like limit buying/selling? with 2 weeks look back S/L? Best,

Hi tibovwh,

Thanks.
I am having very good time living a fulfilled life enjoying two vacations a year. This is what financial freedom is about and which many are envy of.

Back to your question, I posted something before.

Below is another ME/ME basket of trades closed today with +695pips total.

Note that I trade with standard lots and therefore I do not open too many trades in the same candle at too close distance. If I trade micro lots or nano lots, I can simply blast lots of open trades in the same candle and a small distances. This may look great when the closed trades will give thousands of pips with micro/nano lots.
My current trade manager EA had different option sfor opening add-on trades.
One is to use the TDI cross in the lower TF like M15 or H1 to open new trades. This what I mean sell the rally, i.e. when price rally, I look for the TDI to cross from down from above but only after certain pips distance from the last open trade. The reverse logic when buying the dips, add trades after the TDI cross up in lower TF M15/H1. Simple logic which I program into the trade manager EA.
The other option is to use fix pips distance (like a grid) from the last open trade. Using fraction of the ADR(100 days) is easy to program in the EA as option. But doing this may result in too many trades in one candle hence the right position sizing has to be considered.

Both these options requires money management to calculate the trade position size.

Hope this is clear.

That is JUST 1 WAY OF LOOKING ... Going long or short if D is above / below 10 EMA ...
But, what was D candle about? Doji ... Hammer / Inverted hammer / BUOB ... BEOB ... what?
Plz understand all EMA's ... are all JUST meant to decipher and understand those points / values that Price was / is interested in ...
Understand the Price 1st ... 2nd ... 3rd ... and LAST as well ...
Each candle ... on any TF .. has its own merits ...
Observe and respect OHLC ....
If O and C show direction ... L and H shows the momentum / volume / liquidity ....
This understanding of OHLC of each candle ... Of each Swing ... is PA analysis ..............

Any thoughts for a newbie on this set up? My H4 bar ends in about 40 minutes. There must be more to it than just this. Otherwise it would be too simple I guess?
