{quote} As a newbie myself, I like that the more experienced traders are sharing extended ideas as well as helping guide in the core TMS system. We should all be big and old enough to know that one should master the basics of anything first, then look to improve through further learnings. I see no harm in the discussion of those additional learnings whilst I focus on the basics It seems to me that the experienced traders here are repeatedly telling us newbies to keep it simple, even if they have evolved. If it was the other way round, and the...

I am all for sharing ideas and do so myself. Seriously though the system can be summed up in a few posts. The system as laid out by the author still works and works as outlined does it really need another 3000 plus pages. Those wishing to discuss variants should start a new thread IMHO.

Each page in my view only makes succeeding with THIS system more difficult not less difficult. In my view the thread should have closed when thread originator stopped posting.
We're all just one trade away from humility.

{quote} Hi, Please post your AJ trade chart and members here will help you. No need for additional indicator since we have the Stochastics and TDI. You need to learn price action and how to look for support and resistance. regards,
Thanks so much Emm

You remind me to keep it simple again just like its original inventor Eelfranz. I hope he is still here again to teach us. I am just a complete newbie here.

It's really sad after finding out Dimi.A profile page that he has died a few years ago

{quote} Hello, Pulubi! I am sure you will get there. Just be pacient, and stay on demo as long as it takes. I do not remember exactly when I started learning TMS, but it was approximately about 6 months ago, and just this year I went live, after trying different methods of TMS, different TDIs, different TFs... So it took me half a year to feel confident in the method, that and lots of help from good guys who have always been helpful. Here are my two trades taken at LO: GU, H1, short, 25 pips, because although is very possible that PA makes today...
Hello, Catalin!

Thank you for always sharing your charts here and inputs. That seems to be very easy and simple, you really have developed Big E's eyes.
How do you set your SL, if I may ask? If it's not ok to post it here, I will PM you for that.

Here are my trades for today, I tried the DAILY CHART, but failed because I do not know when to enter and exit. I waited for a good retracement, but got stopped out still. -20pips. I think the stop was too tight for a daily TMS chart.

{quote} Hi, yes, I trade H4 reversals and also breakouts of consolidation for my 4H swing trading. I look at price action reversal setups using price bar patterns at support and resistance. The setups will be confirmed with the TDI cross, bounce, 12-2 and 4-6 clock face angle. When there is price action setups, the APB will support the trade setup. I suggest you stick to the basic 5-Method template and follow the rules using the 5EMA, Typical Price, Shift+3 and not use the 10EMA. regards,

Hello Emm,
Is this correct reversal candle?
Before you jump into the trade, you swirch to M15 or H1 TF

regards, dan

That's exactly what I said before.
We all owe to BIG E. but unfortunately this thread became a discussion thread for those traders that are not real TMS's follower.
This thread must have some rules, the rules are what BIG E said before,nothing else and traders here must obey them.

I think, creating another thread for TMS+ some other indicator and ema's experience would help cleaning up this topic.

There is more than enough quality posts in here if you are able to look through some of the rubbish... I'm pretty sure every thread works like this!

I understand what you are saying however. But imo, everyone has to take the original system and mould it into something that works for him/her.

I would love to see more of your posts in this thread anyway.

Hi everyone, I'm new in this thread. I copied the indicators posted on post #25. The Tdi, synergy, stoch slope, and the templ. All is great I manually back tested it and I have good results. I tried both the tdi cross plus the heiken ashi candle to close below or above the MA to take trades and it works. I also tried using stoch slope to touch lines only(this gave me earlier entries most of the time but no tdi cross or ma cross confirmations) its more risky but u get in earlier. Anyway, since I cant watch the screen all day waiting for tdi cross,...

This could help you for the TDI cross: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...91#post8673591

I place a SL under/above the last swing, but I monitor the trade. Big E said that if the trade moved in his direction, and then retraced 15 pips, he closed the trade with that profit. I try to stay in the trade as long as it moves nicely in my direction. If I see weakness, I exit. Switching to LTF can help you see when the candles are getting weak.

You should leave the D1 for now, and focus on H4 and H1.

I understand. I am trying to lock in 20pip profit and let it run, but I often panic doing the math of adding and subtracting tp and sl. Lol
Where do you usually put your SL on H4 TF? If it's 2 candlesticks back, wouldn't it be too far?

I do it as I do it with H1: last swing, but I monitor the trade. If I am not at PC, then I make sure I have an acceptable R:R. But if I am monitoring it, I can exit at signs of weakness, long before the SL gets hit. The 2 candle look back rule belongs to Big Emm and his ME/ME, and I am still in the process of learning it.

Hi There,

If i am not mistaken, Big E said:

if he enters a trade second candle after previous candles close (same color) and it retraces back 5 or 15 pips, he closes the trade.

Could be wrong...

Entries and exits...
We Enter a trade when green crosses red on the TDI at the beginning of that candle... If it's
candle 3 or more don't enter... find another trade set up. The only exception is if green
bounces off red and continues... it's ok to re-enter on the bounce...

Exit your trade when the green TDI line goes flat, starts to hook over or makes a check mark reversal.

When I see a tweek... I look for:
1. Are the candles getting smaller
2. Are the wicks starting to pull back more
3. Are we getting close to a supp/res level.
4. Is my green TDI line getting close to previous highs or lows on my TDI.
Those kind of things... being observant...
