{quote} Thank you very much Emmanuel
The MTF 10 ema indicator can help you with this.

Search for TMS 10ema dashboard indicator.

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?

which currency pair(s) and which TF do you want to trade with these parameters?

{quote} The MTF 10 ema indicator can help you with this. Search for TMS 10ema dashboard indicator.

The 10EMA dashboard gives an overview of the price close above or below the 10EMA of that TF.
It does not show the distance of the price close from the 10EMA.

In some situations, the W1 candle can close very far from the 10EMA and there are opportunities for counter trend trades when there is corrections during the week.
Therefor, beside using the 10EMA dashboard, it is important we look at the price charts either Bar Chart or Japanese Candlesticks chart and look at the market condition.
Always zoom out on your charts to see the bigger picture of the market especially when you are looking at lower TF charts like H1 and H4.

{quote} ...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?
This is what I do:
Just one chart for each currency pair. Do my Big Picture Plan and save that as its own template with symbol name and week no. When I have all 15 pairs BPP done, I save them to one Profile with current week number.

You can set in your MT4 chart visualization, what you want to see when you switch chartf TF.

For example, I don't look at the TDI in MN and W1. I simple un-check the boxes.
You can do the same for any objects you draw on your Big Picture.

Always create and save a basic template for TMS chart - just the 5EMA, Synergy HA and one TDI. You can load the template any time you want to see the TMS basic chart without all the other stuff you done for trade planning.

Make full use of the MT4 templates and profiles. You can save and copy them to other PC or another MT4 folder.

Those example parameters are for Eur/Usd. I plan to optimise each pair based on ADR(10) but would welcome any thoughts

Thanks and Thanks for the other two replies - you truly are a giving Gent!

Ah yes, of course!
