Hello Folks, Just back after the Christmas weekend holidays and recovery from the eating, drinking and merry making. We are in the last 4 trading days of this year. Don't expect much liquidity in the markets as the big boys are still on holidays. Also don;'t expect any big moves unless China does something this week before the New Year. If you must trade and practice trading the 5-Method, then trade the lower timeframes M15/M5 with small target profit expectation. I wont be trading until the markets return to normal in week 03 i.e. from 18 Jan onwards....
Hey Manny,that was a awesome year for me,But I have to thank you and manny others, for the help you given to us ,After three years in learning,debating ,loosing money,I can now stand up ans said,Thank's to MTS,Also to you and so manny others with their feed back,helping me get into the right track.

without any futher ,thank you all.

{quote} I don't mean to pry, and am far from a Master trader, but your SL and profit in pips (and %) suggest that your Risk:Reward is quite "racy".. You are also not letting many of your trades run the distance. I would caution to do LOTS (i.e. years) of back testing plus plenty forward testing (as you are doing now) before going live with such a risky R:R. There might be good reasons for these things but I thought I'd offer some observations before you go live
Thanks mate , I also know it very well that's why I shared my link. I am still trying to develop my SL Strategy.

{quote} Hi, With most banks closed for holidays I do not expect much movement today when London open. Looking at NZDUSD with my usual top down approach. I am bullish bias but beware of stop orders below since we saw last week was bullish and also last Thursday was bullish. But counter trend trades in lower timeframe M15 and M5 are both possible but the number of pips is not attracive for pips hunters. Look at MN chart using Line Chart and identify where the historical price swing levels were and look at current market. Also take a moment, switch...

NZDUSD Update 29 Dec:

Looks good and it can push higher to 0.6870 and 06895. These are historical price swing levels which can act as resistance to any upside move. Liquidity remains low and do not expect a lot of pips for this pair. We have China PMI data this week, anything can happen.

For those trading with 10EMA, 50EMA and 200EMA, you shoul;d see confluence of these EMAs with the historical swing levels and also the Round Numbers RNs.

Trade Well and Trade Safe.

Hi,

Happy to hear you made good this year.
Fully agree with you and in 2016, we must continue to keep our trading simple and follow the basics of TMS 5-Method as our core trading method.
We all must work more on Price Action trading and Money Management strategy to make this our winning system in 2016 to help us achieve our financial goals.

Best wishes for the new trading year.

{quote} Thank you Emmanue for your responsel I'm sorry it might be stupid question. The reason behind not to ''add-n too many trades in the same day". We might miss good opportunity to add position in 15mins or 1hr chart when market is at high speed. And another question ''set SMART targets - 40% , 60% and 100% of the average weekly range (52-weeks) for your 4H swing trades.'' How to get average weekly range (52-weeks). Is there any 52 average weekly range mt4 indicator? Best regards,
here is an old post which explains how I use 1% risk and break that into 5 trades maximum.

When you want to have more winners than losers, it would be better if the Price Action is above the 10EMA on D1, H4 and H1 for BUY and the opposite for SELL.

Someone PM and asked how I got those levels 0.6872 and 0.6895,

Next year it will become clearer if Kiwi will push higher. It can reach 0.7000. Just keep close watch on market sentiments to see if USD weakens or strengthens after Jan NFP and 4Q.GDP data.

Thanks again for this repost Pips92, and also to the contributors whose thoughts you have compiled.

I am working my way through each link and every one has extensive insight, detailed supporting PDF and very interesting posts around the topic of the original (linked) post; it's like a rabbit hole of knowledge!

A question for those that are following the Big Picture Plan every week. I assume you have to strip down your chart, go through the six steps, and then rebuild your TMS trading chart every time. I say this because I see no way of go through the plan on a plain chart (no indis) and then transpose the created/amended lines to your TMS chart.. This is a pain - especially when trading 8+ pairs.. Has anyone found a better way?

Another request for guidance..
I am planning and testing based on:
Size Position = 1% of balance based on SL
SL = 5 pips past recent swing
1TP = 50% of position close at 50 pips (currently testing Eur/Usd) or 50% of ADR if SL isn't giving me a 1:1 R:R @ 50 pips
SL changed to BE after TP1 is achieved
2TP = the cross of (5ema shift 2)

Are there any threads that you guys generally point people to for these components?
