{quote} Hi antonym, Yes S/R can seem confusing at first. I mainly trade H1 so here is how I mark up my setup chart at the beginning of a week. Mark last months high/low and last weeks high/low. I have an indicator that shows yesterday's high/low, big round numbers and daily open (H4 traders might want to add weekly open). These are what I refer to as static S/R and are areas of interest. If price has recently stopped and not on one of the static areas a quick check until you get experience is to draw a line at that point and look back. If price...

Hello lookleft,

I took a trade today based on your teaching of the s/r on the EA. Glad it makes to the profit target. It's still just a demo trade but it gives me some confidence. Thanks for your invaluable teaching!

Hello Emmanuel,

I just want to aks if you can look over my Big picture plans for USD/Cad and Aud/Usd for this week.

AUD/USD

We are in a weekly uptrend but we hit the weekly resistance+the BRN 0.7600. I will wait for it to break those lines and the continue buying.
On h4 we see a Wide range bar, so we can switch to h1 and trade long as it got rejected by the low of the WrB.

USD/CAD
We have a downtrend and I want to sell if i see a good daily setup according to tdi and heiken ashi. On h4 we see another Wrb so again we can trade inside the ranges on h1 and then continue selling if it breaks the low.

I hope you have the time to correct my analysis. I would very appreciate that.

Thanks.

I hear you, and I'm guilty of it as well.
I've been away from TMS for well over a year. Left because I became a overwhelmed due to not being focused, and not allowing time to learn and digest the "basics" of this wonderful system.
I think most of us seek that "quick" shortcut, wanting instant success, then end up burnouts, or worst. Just as in life, we must first learn to crawl, before being able to walk!
We are indeed very lucky to have such a deep pool of knowledge available to us here; unselfish individuals that have so unselfishly shared so much throughout the years, till today. Keep in mind, what they know didn't come overnight, but took hard work and time to master and perfect.
I hope to start all over again in the very near future, but now with a different mindset.

Hi,

these 2 pairs were Big E' favourite pairs.

the direction of these two pairs is clear and should be 'easy' to trade...

so taking trade in lower TF like H4 would work out with a view of the previous week OHLC. some traders may trade the H1 but in the same direction with a view to convert their trades to H4 then to D1 ..by scaling in more trades .("let profits run").

H1 traders must always trade away from the day Open, away from the 50EMA and away from the 200EMA.

Details in my BPP below:

from my SWOT analysis, that level 1.2550 is an opportunity not a threat.

I have no fear when I trade. I look after the downside of my trades, and let the market decide on the upside...

Hello thank you for your fast response.

Is there an alternative to the ema 200 because unfortunately the mobile app that I use for trading can only show Ema up to 75.
Can I trade only with Ema 50?

TSS,

very nice clean trade executed.

are you saying that you use the Mar10 Day High-Low as the impulse wave and took that trade using retracement of 61.8% as your support?

regards,

​Hi Emm, when you say "H1 traders must always trade away from the day Open, away from the 50EMA and away from the 200EMA" do you mean Asian daily open or your preferred session open?

To all new traders and newbies to this TMS thread. I recommend that you visit this new thread started by MrAussieFX link here:

http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...67#post8813367

I have known MrAussieFX here in FF for some years now and he is one of the few good man and is also honest in what he does and share here in FF.

This TMS thread has been kept going by different members after our OP eelfranz aka Big E passed away in 2012.

It is difficult and take a lot of time for anyone coming to this thread for the first time to read all the posts and catch up. But when you do really want to learn to trade with TMS which is the 5-method, you must first read all the post by Big E.

You need to get to know Big E and his way of life hence his trading style.

These links below should help you to get started:
Trading made Simple for beginners : Post#52,707
A short history by pioneer member snarlyjack Post#110
Our late OP eelfranz aka Big E spent 6,000 hours: Post#6 and he evolved as a trader and went on and developed two trading methods.
5-Method and 21/233 Method Post#3018, Post#4104,
After months of postings and answering many frequently asked questions FAQs,
eelfranz made the jump to this new Trading Made Simple thread on 26 April 2011... Post#4432
In Post#1, he explained how he traded the H4 chart timeframe and he also trade the H1 chart during the NY session. This suited his lifestyle being retired and the time zone he lived. Sadly he passed away in Oct 2012.
Two very important posts: Post#261 and Post#647, give a simple summary of what this 5-Method is and the basic forex stuff we check before we look for the TDI setups to trade.
TMS 5-Method Basic Rules: Post#53,841
Always check the #1- Price Action first, then #2- TDI Post#3142
Big E wanted us to build this TMS thread together... Post#4,432

The original indicators and template … Post#25

Recommendations:
Read all of Big E’ posts... 861posts in the Craig Harris Stochastics thread and 463 posts in this TMS thread....and make notes on those training charts he posted. Pay attention whenever he mentioned PA and what you see on his training charts.



Have fun and make money.
