EU technicals had momentum building several positive divergences over the past month on a day chart and since April on week chart. I could not figure out why except for short term pop up from oversold. for my TA, divergence usually has 3 lows or highs instead of the usual 2. This one was easy to see but not to trade unless you entered on and were watching for draghi to say something and he did.

my opinion is that the bigger and longer term picture was strengthened by draghi's comments, for the fed reserve to raise rate on fed funds. That means that USD gets to be the medium term winner while EUR gets its 15 minutes of fame. the big loser in this international central bank charade is the equity markets.

the next long term 'big short' may have had its seed planted today for stock markets. SP1450 and below 14,000 for the Dow are beckoning.

to invalidate this picture, new highs on s&p and dow have to come very soon.

Be aware that there might be some profit taking on some pairs that had big moves yesterday. Trade sensibly and don't get caught out.
Never argue with a fool; onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.

When you want to take a TDI trade, remember this:

#1 in importance is PA

#2 is the TDI for confirmation…

Post#3142

Looking at GU now, I would use ME/ME with reduced risk. Never know if it would reverse to the bullish side, but with ME/ME, you will have a better chance to breakeven when market goes sideways.

Trading the Day chart I prefer to trade when both the TDI Green above Red both are above its 20-days average, the I put in my usual full risk.

{quote} Hello, Fbps! I just landed on FF, so sorry for the delay! The link contains useful info from Dimi.A, a very successful TMS trader, and he posted the clock image there. You can either take it from there, or you can take it from my post, if you right click on the clock and choose "save as". It will work that way, so let me know how it works out.
Noted Catalin, thanks. Staying away after last night's Euro unexpected move. Literally eaten up alive

{quote} Assuming it's not near to the support & resistance, and if candle A is above 5 ema or above PAC, do you still wait for the 4 hour candle to close first before entry even though the TDI crossed?
That depends on the actual price action seen with both the real price bars and the APBs. We must never make rules without a clear view using charts.

In TMS 5-Method, the setup candle is one which closes across the 5EMA and with TDI as confirmation.

If we use the Synergy_Pro PAC, then the setup candle is the candle which closed above or below the PAC.

Both cases, we must not see any support or resistance to the left of the trading chart timeframe, i.e we must trade into empty space with no recent swing high or swing low seen to the left of our trading chart.

Thanks Emmanuel. One more clarification, if I trade on a H4 timeframe and there is no S/R nearby but it is a Dynamic S/R on the H1 timeframe, do I then exit from the H4 trade and re-enter after the price bars have broken through the S/R on H1?

Hi,

I don't use the Synergy DSR when trading with TMS 5-Method and I don't recommend using that on 4H swing trading. When I trade 4H swing trading, I look at the Average Weekly Traded range and target 60% of the average weekly range and also the Historical swing levels.

When you trade H4, manage your trades and exit strategy on H4. Do not manage your H4 trades on lower timeframes like H1, its all market noise on H1, M30, M15, M5, etc.

Hi friends,
Any opinion?

AU 10ema crossed 50ema(trend changing) daily & prices are above PAC then we should go long but with 5 green bars so wait for pull back(1H or 4H) to enter. But with resistance about 60pips away at 0.73822 so????
EU interesting - Ranging in weekly & WRB in daily & prices are above PAC so wait for confirmation. I went long & got 60pips few days ago- I'm still learning

Cheers,

..

quite a few Big Round Number BRN play seen on Day chart.

That Day WRB can be early warning of sideways market until there is breakout.

The safe way to trade sideways market type is to use reduced risk and trade with Multiple Entries / Multiple Exits. ME/ME.

Noted Emmanuel. My charts are quite cluttered after I had installed Synergy Pro. The Synergy DSR help me to determine the S/R easily at one glance. Perhaps one too many.
