Probably a stupid question regarding the time difference. Just want to make sure I get it right!!

He said " I only trade 1hr charts during the the 1st 3 hours of the USA OPEN and 4hr trades at night. I check for set ups at 10pm Pacific,2am and close all 4 hour trades by 6am Pacific.... "

What time is that say in Amsterdam where I live?

I have a question: do you leave your trades open over weekends or you close them all before Friday session ends?
I asked this because after some old charts analysis, I found that sometime it's to my favor while other times it's not

The fact alone that this thread is over 3700 posts and the fact that there exist simular threads based on TMS can be seen as a confirmation to your question

For me, it was a real turning point using it. However, and this is part of this and any system, success depents on how you can master yourself! Having discipline to follow strictly the rules setup by Eelfranz for example. Being able to let a position run, once you have decided to open one.

If you can do that, then you have found a high probability system over here.

So what you are saying is that you as a chicken learned to fly?

I have realised that you not trade like on first posts anymore You have change the original idea and I assume for get better results cause now looks more advanced Why you stop trading first method (TDI cross)?
I am afraid you may have interpreted this thread a little in the wrong way. Yes, it is true that since 2011 many have contributed and many have adapted the original system to their own methods but the core elements are still there.

In fact, Eelfranz has very often explained again and again to stick to the original rules, not adding additional indicators at all.
I myself am trading this system in it's original form and being succesful with it and above all.... very happy.

So my advice would be: go back to the 'drawing table' in DEMO modus and take this time between Christmas and Newyear to familiarize yourself with the core basics of this system. Try to find out why you failed using this system in the past and change what went wrong. In most cases the reason may be found within ourselves, not the system.

Go back HERE to find the original Indicators.
Go back to the first post to re-read the concept
And find attachted to this post some valuable PDF's containing the most important posts of Eelfranz.

Good day you all I am newbie and been reading this thread for while. I liked this strategy cause its simplicity stated on first post. Unfortunately I tried on demo for 3 months and got poor results But now I have realised that you not trade like on first posts anymore You have change the original idea and I assume for get better results cause now looks more advanced Why you stop trading first method (TDI cross)? is not that really profitable anymore? But anyways I really like to learn bout this new method called MEME I tried to learn MEME but it...
Hi LazyTraderFx,

The core principals of TMS have not changed.

Me/Me (Multiple-entry/Multiple-exits) is not a new system. It is simply a money management (MM) method centered around scaling into a full position using multiple smaller entries, and scaling-out (exiting) of the position to lock in profits. This MM method can be applied to any day, swing, or position trading method, not just TMS. That said, if you are not consistent with TMS using simple money management like Single-Entry/Single-Exit or Single-Entry/Multiple-Exit then ME/ME should not yet be considered.

I recommend you take your time and learn the core principals of TMS. The "tdi cross" you mentioned is simply one factor considered before taking a trade, it was never the entire system. Furthermore, the original TDI may not be the best TDI to use if you plan on backtesting and/or refresh your charts by switching timeframes.

Have a look at the following three posts, they are dense, but contain many of the answers you seek:

Out of curiosity, does anyone here uses RSI in TMS? There's a great indicator from Lawgirl here at FF called "Lawngirl's Trend Display" that show's RSI as arrows.

Thanks, Emmanuel - helpful as always.
I will make sure I go through all links tonight. I read BigE's PDF twice, and I know he doesn't use it. But maybe it could be benefitial.

And, since we are here, may I ask you a question Emmanuel. Are you still using the TMS EA that was created in 2011, I think? The latest version is TMS_V22_MTFH.ex4, if I am not wrong. I am thinking on running some backtests this week, but wondering if you (or anyone here in this thread) is using it?

Thanks!
