Did you guys see the RN as a natural S&R?

I'm having a lot of trouble these last days with placing orders... It seems that all I see are contradictory signals everywhere ;P When PA looks interesting, TDI tells me the opposite... when TDI looks good, PA or trend lines "ruin" the setup... Not to say the contradictory trends in different TFs...

Which signal should I trust more? Or really wait for most of them to 'line up' in the same direction?
I know PA is king, but I'm still not sure if I should trade breakouts of WRB or get in during retracements... or both?

But I think I see a pattern now; some /USD pairs seem to be in a high supply/resistence zone (A/U, G/U, E/U and NZD/U, look at the D1 and W charts).

I'm monitoring those pairs closely, maybe good selling opportunities will come by with good, clear entry signals and SL zones.
Do you guys agree? Disagree? I'd love to hear your opinions!

AUDJPY trade today:

MBL line was under 32 level ( extreme oversold) and has started to turn its direction to north.
TDI rebounce.
Broke the PAC. ( 5 ema if I added)
I wanted to take profit from correction and succeed.

Cross on TDI, but the rejection candle tells me not to enter.

I was viewing, though I was not logged in.

However I need to familiarize myself with this system before start asking dumb questions.

You are doing a great job helping other traders here. Keep up the good work, Big Em.

Everything is set on the 1HR TF to go long.

The TDI is a very good indicator, but it is only reacting to price and so I can guarantee that you made some good observations.

Something you said is gold...... something to put the probabilities in your favor.... you either trade the breakout of the day or sessions, and or trade the extremes (retracement). how do you know the extremes, by paying attention to the ADR. One other thing, put up a 1H chart (any TF will do-but H1 will give you round # on time) and look at the times that price breaks out and retraces, look at many days and there just may be something good happing there, and repeats every day
(Well-most days) plus or minus a hour or so. This alone can make you profitable. Timing- very important. Hope this helps.

Someone does not speak the language, for someone it is difficult and it is not clear, some hesitate to be stupid ...

For example, my very-very-very bad trade (GBPUSD, H4): I saw a great pin bar and impulsively opened for sale transaction. I got a stop-loss.
It was only after the stop-loss I saw WRB, I realized that the pin-bar was caused by the closure of the daily positions, I realized that it was necessary to open a purchase ... Why do I just have not seen this before ???

Incidentally, an interesting situation now on GBPUSD, H4 - new WRB (WRB-2 on chart) and two false breakout of its levels...

I dream of a school TMS. Maybe about TMS textbook...
It would be nice if there was a group in Skype for live TMS signals or lessons (Skype has an audible and visual signal of the message. It is more convenient than the monitor FF). Not a voice, only chat. I do not I do not understand the spoken language, but read the text and translate ...
For example, Emm writes - "Note on the EUR H4 good setup." After that, "students" begin to seek out it on the chart)... Just an idea ...

I entered long on GBPUSD 1HR. Those pin bars on either sides of 4HR tell me some kind of hesitation. Looks more clear on 1HR. Let's see what the market says.

This thing is going flat. I don't like it. Even on shorter TF, there is barely any move. I am thinking of closing that trade even with a small loss, but I will wait for a more obvious sign of price.

Good morning Folks,
we have less than one hour till Tokyo open, so I have time for some chatter.
yesterday I go the most PMs in one day and I dont have to time to reply them all yet. In fact I still have some PMs from last Friday which I have read. I dont have time to reply all but I will try my best find some time and reply them later part of this week.

Just reading through the posts you made after I went offline last night, I must say that eelfranz aka Big E would be very happy seeing that you all are focus in trading, sharing, discussions and helping one another here. No gossips, no arguments, no quarrels, etc. Keep the spirit of his thread positive and spread the positive energy everyday. Thank you to everyone.

Here is a quick review lesson for those trading the lower TFs.
Also I want to make my position very clear about trading the lower TFs.
I trade the M15 and H1 for many years with LE1 and X-Man. I know how difficult it is and especially for Newbies with less than 3 years trading experience.
What is important is that your learn Price Action trading and use the TDI as supporting indicator for you trade setup and entry decision. The APB is great for knowing when the potential phase change can happen but always with the TDI to support that phase change.
When you trade lower TF like M15, you get in and out of the market in a few hours. You do not hold your trades for more than a day unless you are following the Day direction or trend.

below training chart example using AUDUSD:

Hi Emm,

I can certainly understand why you would expect a retracement after the big move down last week. Very bearish bar in my eyes. The retracement inside that WRB was good for some aggressive pips. But it's not entirely clear to me why you would remain long on this pair now, when we are near the high of this WRB on the D1?

Best,
