Triple Screen Trading System by Dr Alexander Elder Post#23,973, Post#55200, Post#62,175
Triple Screen trading systems : Post#55,203

Checking three different timeframes charts is a way how we reconcile the TIMING of our trade entry on the lower timeframe where we make our market entry.
We look at the price action and the TDI condition of all three timeframes to confirm the setup is high probability in the direction of the Primary (Dominant) Trend.

{quote} Beautifully written and simplistic first step, does not get any more simple. Thank you! I must admit, I'm going through a bit of "information overloading", and unable to start my trading. As someone that's very new, I spend most of my time taking notes each day when I'm free, instead of concentrating on what has been said many times, (especially by Mr. Emmanuel) "start with TMS 5-Method Basics", practice, post charts, practice, and learn and develop! I'm going to take a little break from the thread/forum, organize my notes, study TMS basics,...

Take you time. If you can afford, 3 to 5 hours every day for the next 2 to 3 years will be good.

I shall keep all the spotlights on here on for all those who want to learn to trade and perform well in their trading.

First start by reading all of eelfranz posts and study his training charts. It won't take more than 100 hours of your time. You will get to know this great person whom we all call Big E even when we did not trade with him during those years when he was here in FF. His spirit lives on this this thread.

Here is how you can get stated by following these links in this Trading Made Simple thread:

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

Pete,
The indicator you are looking for is called pipware multi-charts. In Post 68,689 Emmanuel provides the links to the relevant posts where you can download and learn how to setup properly.

Today RBNZ kept its rate 2.25% unchanged. But why did the market react in such manner knowing that it wont change its rate again within 12 months period and when the 1st quarter corporate results did not show any major slowdown? Wait and see what happen when th 3rd quarter corporate results show slowdown and export suffers.
We poor retail traders have no chance in this spot forex market especially when we want to trade the low timeframe H1, M30, M15, M5, etc....

There are price gaps all the time during the day on normal trading days. Look at the 1 minute price charts and you will see the gaps. Some gaps have more significance over other gaps. If only we know how to tell the difference which gap matter and the ones which do not matter. Gaps do get filled. Question is which are the gaps which get filled and why.

Hallo EllisEdi,

How do you put the HA candle on the separate window? May you please teach me how to do that (step by step)?

Thanks,



Quoting EllisEdi
For those of you who do not like custom indicators or using "ex4" files ... big e no custom.tpl is a template for the method with the HA candles in the main window. big e no custum swha.tpl is a template that puts the HA candles in a separate window so you can see the price action candles. They both do not use any indicators that do not come with the base install of MetaTrader 4. -- Mark p.s. You might want to change the Stocastics to the 8,3,3 settings. the ones in the template run a 5,3,3 setting (for lower timeframes) {file} {file}

Hi Everyone,
This chart is the story of my trading for the last 3 months. I am posting this chart and future trades in the hope that someone can steer me in the right direction. I am down 15% in 3 months and have decided to trade with #0.01 instead of full lots until figure this out. I have traded 4hr charts and 1hr charts with the same thing happening over and over again. I seem to sell low and buy high which I believe I am getting suckered in to momentum bars before a reversal. I have read TMS and will read it again over the next few months just in case I have missed something.
Be blunt, be honest, anything you have to offer I will take onboard.

Questions:
Does Support & Resistance work?
Are Pivots worth using?
Can you make steady gains just trading 4hr charts?
Are BRN's good for targets and areas to trade away from?
What is the best TF to trade?
Do I need more than 1 system to trade?


Regards Rob
