{quote} obviously he use the TDI setting 13, 0,34,2,0,7 you use the setting 10,5,34,3,1,7 for both settings, the Price Action is the same. pick one one setting and stick to it to be consistent. it is CONSISTENCY that will determine your success and profitability.

You are using micro lots. Scroll right to the bottom of the properties box and set Broker_Allow_Micro_Lots to true.
Never argue with a fool; onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.

{quote} Hi TampaFX! i'm using the old version of tdi posted by BigE, whereas most of the traders on this thread are using the tdi realtime version, it all depends on one's own priority. I feel comfortable with old version. Hope this helps! Regards,

{quote} For H1 intraday trades, I use the average daily range ADR-100 days. For H4 swing trades, it is average weekly range 52-weeks or ATR(52) W1. where to place initial Stop Loss? look at the price action. if you sell, place your initial SL above the most recent swing high of the reversal. if it is a breakout of a consolidation, place your SL above the consolidation area high. the opposite for Buy trades. For TP, use the average trading range to plan TP. use the 4 groups and do not overtrade not matter how many setups you see. Maximum 5 trades...
Hi, I am a new user and firstly I wish to thank you and also the other members to share your strategies giving a great help to the newbies. Really appreciated!!
I am Italian and my English is not so smart, but I hope you can understand my questions/answers
Personally, I read several messages from Eelfranz and I realized he was a special person. I am also very pleased to see that this thread is full of persons that spend their time to help who is not so confident whit the TMS strategy

I think to have understood pretty well the main points of the strategy based on the TDI and stoch and am now trying to improve my entries and exities
I would appreciate a clarification about the ADR
It would be the same thing of the ATR?

From what I read, Eelfranz suggested to exit to the position already when the tdi begins flat. In this way, the lost trades would be small losses
In your post, you suggest to put the initial stop loss above the high of the swing or above the consolidation. I understood what you mean and I also agree with it, but in this way it would be possible that the TDI will begin flat or will cross in the opposite side before to hit the sl. So, I am a bit confused and I don't know if I have to exit if the tdi angle changes or if I have to respect the stop loss fixed at the moment of the entry.
Regarding the extit, you suggest to consider the tp using the ADR. Do you mean that you put the tp far away from the entry for the same pips of the ADR.
For ex. If I enter in EU at 1,08 in a 4h tf and the ADR ( 52 1w ) is 235, the tp would be put at 1.0565? Then, of course I understand that we have to be flexible and if we are closed to a support/restistance or BRN we can adjust the level of the tp
Thank you so much!

WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THIS FORUM.

On this method the TDI is King. All trades are signaled by it as well as exits... does that keep it simple. Only red and green lines (double thickness) and remove the others... cut out any possible confusion... make it simple for YOU !

{quote} ADR It would be the same thing of the ATR?
Eldero.
Those indicators are not part of TMS. If you need S/L here is what you should do:

I know a lot of you are afraid to trade the 4hr charts...why?... cuz someone sold you a bag of crap about your S/L being to far away... 50-80 pips, etc. In your mind your thinking I can't afford that... like chicken little running in circles... get a grip gang. Seriously now... Look back at any 4hr chart where there was a reversal where you would have entered a trade using the 5 method. If you had entered the trade on the 4hr chart... and put your S/L at the last swing hi or low... even 100 pips away... how many times has it come back to hit your S/L in the next couple of candles? I can't find one example of that happening anywhere... not one....
So the larger S/L really means nothing accept if the sun don't rise and the chickens don't lay... it would save your account but I've never seen that happen on a 4hr chart.... probably has once ever 1,000 trades.

Some advice.
Use the paper clip top right of this page. Download BigE compiled pdf's.
Study every singly post of BigE. All you need to trade like BigE is in blue.
You don't need the nonsense that has been posted for the last couple 1000's posts.
Members has gone overboard and raped this beautiful system to piece.
