Hi, I am new to the TDI method...I was trying to see how to apply the method in the attached scenario. I have missed the trade - first or second candle after green cross to red. (Black line). Price tested the resistance and moved down - (3rd line). There is a tweak in the TDI. Is this a good place to enter the trade?

Thanks to Big E and all the contributors for such a wonderfull method.

Hi TMS Folks, I just got home after my holidays travelling and will try catch up reading your posts and PMs in the coming days. It is the holiday season and market liquidity will be low as. Moreover, today is Friday and Tokyo bank holidays therefore the Asian session tends to be quiet. Best not to trade the 4H Swing and also no Position Trading on D1 charts. Can still trade H1 and M15 with smaller trade expectations, close trades before the market session changeover and definitely before this long weekend. Trade Well and Trade Safe.

Hey Emmanuel,

Welcome back from your well deserved holidays. Looking forward to your posts and insights.

Happy Holidays to you and to all!

Match your trade with Big E's post Post 647 . If the trade meets the condition then it is good.

Me too want to give it a new try to the original concept of BigE with contributions from Jan Ceulemans. Let's agree all that we stick with the original concept. So only the 4H trades and during the first 3 hours of the Markets in US and/or Europe, possibly trading on 1H timeframe. Please, no more "new" indicators which detracts from the original concept. Keep it simple Do we have a deal?
Keep it simple without too many crappy indicators!

Do we have a deal?
Any time.

Have been fighting, complaining since for ever to do only what is in BigE full.pdf. BigE has posted enough info that any newbie can start using TMS profitable. Been typed how many times that he has put in 6 000 hours. How much are you as an trader new or old hand prepared to put in. The tendencies of most new comers to the TMS is they want to be spoon fed, told what to use, how to use, when to use, where to use. New members read about the wheelbarrow, eye glaze over, jump on any cross and get stomped out.

Keep it simple

TMS is not simple.
That is for sure.
Ever watched a sportsman do his stuff on track, golf course, swimming pool or any event and you think by yourself "How does he do it". You only see the results of many hours of sweat, tears, despair, injure, muscle cramps, alone practising, practising over and over.

BigE made it look simple becuase he did the time already. He gave you his knowledge, you must learn to apply it correctly. Only then you will become a trader in own right.

It takes a lot of study time and old chart analyzing to make it simple. You have to spend time with the master (BigE) in front of the computer. You have to sacrifice your sleep, familie, party time, me time, spare time. Nothing in life is for free. You want something, then you have to work for it.

Advice for newbies
For those newbies go to www.babypips.com and learn about basic forex principals.. I did years ago. It's worth the time.
If you need a refresher about basic forex principals go to www.babypips.com , then come back.

What to study
I post a lot of training charts to drive it into your brains what to look for and how easy it can be...
Important to study TDI entries on old charts, any time frame... Give yourself a chance and trade it like it's laid out...
The key to building confidence is to study old charts... look at the TDI moves and how it looks on PA so every time you see that same set up you will know your odds for success are high

Are you willing to put the alone time in to learn this system?

GBP/USD, Bounce Trade from TDI 4-5 clock entry, confirmation from stochastics.
Looks like not a very solid trade as TDI approached 32, so a reversal is likely. S/l above previous two candle's high. Not sure if the 65 pips stop loss is a good idea or not. Will close as soon as there is a TDI hooks, flats or checks.

Well, since it is the last trading afternoon/day I am not sure it was a good idea to enter a trade anyway. However, if this is a demo account then, for learning purposes it's ok

Now, I know that the original stochastics were removed at some point from the template. Originaly it was there and Big E used it to confirm the current move.
In this case, the use of the Stochs would have shown what you already think: it is not a high probability trade. anyway, I would suggest, if you go into any profit, does not matter, even for some cents then take it and close the position maybe I did the same with EURUSD this morning in London session for a whooping 0.06 profit
Now enjoying studying the old BIG E charts to familiarize myself more with this system.

Thanks Jan. Closed it for -10 pips or so. Was up +30 pips during the trade on 22nd. So that makes up for the loss. Good learning experience.

You have decided on your trading hours, this is good and very important in this trading business.
Next big thing is to work on rules to ensure that we have the DISCIPLINE in running and managing this business.
