Some people keep bugging with the same question over and over again:

Why do I emaphize that we do multiple timeframe analysis when Big E did not once mention this term MTF in all his post.

perhaps they did not read all his posts and taken own notesd and written their own trading manual. They may have only look for words using FF forum search.

FAQ: Did Big E check other timeframes?

Yes, read Post#2,846

I think the exception is when it cross down but it is against a support line, e.g., prior high(s).

Imho, I think you got lucky this time..The trend was clearly down and your first entry was more of an impulse entry as I believe you entered when price moved above the 10 ema and price closed as a doji below the 10 ema soon after. The next candle was a hammer and you took your second entry on the next candle as soon as price went above the 10 ema and it would be very near the time candle opened..In both cases I noticed the green tdi had not crossed the red and you were maybe 10 pips or so from being stopped out. I do know we need a bit of luck from time to time when trading but just as a matter of interest would you have shown the trade had you been stopped out...just thinking

If DAily is going up then 4hr will cross down as retracement the best trades I recommend is following the daily trend sure u will get some pips from a retracements but the gains are massive when following the trend

Hi pips29,

in my view, the better setup candle appeared much later. But that will depends on which version of the TDI the traders are using.
With the TDI Red Green non-realtime (re-painting) version, there will be a TDI bounce.
However, the TDI realtime version has shown a TDI Green witn good angle ahead of the setup candle.

Since you said there is no limit to the attempts, I'll give it another try, using the GU chart on D1 from this week.

On W1 chart, last week closed above the IB pattern of previous weeks. So that tells me I wanna be a bull. On D1 chart, although the candle closed under the 5ema and with a cross, it is still above the 50 level and the MBL, and we are expecting MBL to provide support and reject the green line, following the W1 analysis. I do not use the MBL in my trading, but I had to plot it to see if the prize lies hidden in there.

Another example, using one of this week's charts, GA, H4 (I got 168 pips on this baby)
After BPP, I knew I wanted to be a bear, so I sold the pair this week. After the cross to the upside, the MBL provided resistance, the MBL was under the 50 level, and the green was pushed down, being unable to break the resistance provided by the 50 level and the MBL. Once again, I did not use the MBL or 50 level in my trading, but what does a man not do for a prize of 1000 monthly pips?

{quote} I believe only exception to those rules are the Bounce entries. Examples this week: GBPPY H4. Please ignore the current SL, TP there on the chart. As for explaning the exception, i can try. If green touches red but doesn't cross + the candle doesn't close on the other side of 5EMA shift +3 and higher time frame trend agrees with you.... then that is a good Bounce trade. So best example is the second bounce from GBPPY GBPJPY H4 {image} In the words of Big E : {image}

Hi,

not correct.
if the Entry was based on setup candle close above the 5EMA and with TDI cross up asconfirmation,
then the Exit would have been the candle close below the 5EMA and with TDI cross down.
the question was if the candle close below the 5EMA and TDI cross down, and we do not exit , what is the exception that we do not exit.

your TDI bounce is good example where we can trade the continuation of the established uptrend. These are usually safe trades in an established trend.

hi,

could anyone whom is experienced with TMS know how i can avoid the trade pictured below.

i determined the WRB on H4, switched to H1, price bounced off the H of the WRB and there was a TDI cross, so i get in, but later price pumped up to my SL and above.

i know no system is the holy grail, but whas this trade avoidable?

thanks!

And I also noticed something else on my GA chart, after plotting the 10 ema: using the previous example, I can add that the marked candle went above the 10ema, but it was unable to close above it, so it closed under, while having the bullish cross in place. So the 10 ema acted as resistance, despite the bullish cross. Plus all the other things I have already aded in the previous post, MBL under the 50 level and above green cross. The 10 is the red line.

{quote} Let me try. When setup happened in the range of MBR or MC candle, the setup is invalid and that is the exception. isn`t it? here is the chart of USDCAD this week. sorry for unclear picture, i cut it from my VPS. {image}

yes, one of the trading rule which Big E mention in post#647 is about trading when the PA is in consolidation.

I use the Master Candle MC as one simple way to determine what market consolidation is instead of saying big candle or small candle.
MC are detected using an indicator with alerts and this eliminate the guessing game which may traders often ask, is this a MC or not?

My rule is not to trade any setup candles when they are within the high-low of the MC. This mean if the entry setup is in the MC, we do not trade that setup but we can either wait patiently for the breakout or look for trade setup one timeframe below... but always in the direction of the higher timeframe.

{quote} I provide 2 answers to try my luck AUDJPY Daily Trader who use 5EMA Typical shift+3, TDI cross down but price not close below 5ema. So still not yet trade invalidation for long trade. {image} Trader who use 5ema typical shift+2, price close below 5ema and TDI cross down. It is a signal of trade invalidation for long trade. But the price still close within WRB. So better wait to breakout WRB then decide. {image} I think others already posted the similiar answers as me

For consistent result, we must stick to one template.
when we use the 5EMA Typical Price, Shift+3 we stick to this and do not compare with another setting.
the same also for the TDI version we use. Simply use one version and developed your trading rules based on that same version.

remember one template, one Big Picture Plan and you can trade all timeframes with just one same Big Picture Plan.

{quote} I thought you said that invalidation is on the close of PA under/above the 5, nothing about the TDI was stated in that post. So to be clear, you see invalidation as both PA and TDI, or only TDI, or only PA? Which one of the three? It's small details like these that can make a huge difference.
There are difference Exit Strategies.
When our trade setup entry is based on setup candle to close above the 5EMA and TDI cross up, then a trade invalidation should be the opposite technical condition i,e the exit candle mus be one which close across below the EMA and the TDI cross down in the opposite direction of the entry.

When Big E exit his trade using TDI going flat, hook backwards, etc.. this is not trade setup invalidation. His TDI exit is to protect his money. You will find may of TDI exit will eventually run in the direction of the 'trend' after the reversal.

For more on Exit Strategy:

{quote} maybe when you use ME/ME, you use the ADR to add positions, and using the 2 day High/Low as SL point, and trail this SL when a day candle close. so a TDI cross against your position can happen, but you close it when it hits your 2 day SL.

the question has nothing to do with money management strategy like ME/ME.

it is about trade entry and exit on H4.

{quote} My Guess!! Taking AJ as an example, (attached chart) based on our BPP, daily trend will be bullish until it reaches 200EMA & around BRN 87.000, so we set our TP at around that level. However, it retraced for 2 days indicating bearish TDI cross. But instead of exiting, we added new open positions to lower our average entry price. This I think is the exception. Again, we need to follow the direction of the main trend and using ME/ME is an exception to the rule. Hope my guess is right.. {image}

very good attempt using my AJ trade, but does not answer that question .
