First trade of the year and hope it's a successful one. Taken on the 4 hour as previous candle closed bullish above the TL. The green tdi is showing a bounce off the mbl,red line and above 50..let's see. I believe some brokers are not open yet

You are right. It seems my broker (FXCM) is still closed allthough I see movements in price on the charts.

Probably because of the Bank Holidays the spreads are huge Don't burn your fingers on it.
Keep it simple without too many crappy indicators!

Hi, Quick question I hope but have set up my Demo mt4 and loaded most indicators templates and it looks good. But a few indicators are posted here as ex4 and I cant get them to load. I can get the mq4 files to load and save into the metaeditor and then they refresh in the mt4 platform I'm using so can then use/add them to charts. My question is how do I get the ex4 files to load?

Hey Emerald2112,

On your MT4 Menu, Go to File, then choose Data Folder, find your Folder of just the .ex4 file of files, select all button, copy, follow back arrow to your MT4 Indicator and paste. Then close and reload your MT4. Pesto !

Happy New Years All !

Yes, fxcm opens at 12 midnight here in the UK if I am not mistaken.I think most of the brokers open at that time too. Some are already open like the one I have on the MT4 platform. Here is how the chart looks like on the live acc. presently on fxcm....those using fxcm should know I was just having some fun

Happy new year!
My first trade of the year.

My target was 40 pips, but at some point the TDIAngleator indicator showed white (Flat) arrows for M5,M15,M30 and green for H1, so I decided to take the profit and close the trade.
Indeed the TDI did not go flat or hooked, so I probably should've stayed in this trade for longer.
My biggest issue right now is when to get out. Getting in is quite easy with TMS .

Cheers to everyone.

Made my first trade though its on the 30mins chart so should maybe be in that thread but its working out at about 13 pips. My target was about 25pips but closed it as just on demo and to see if the entry worked. I think this is called scalping and maybe not for me longterm. Any thoughts from expereienced TMS practitioners welcome... For one i entered at the start of the second candle but have read thats risky?

{quote} Hi Zack, D1 chart trading is Position Trading and trades can last for several weeks unlike 4H Swing Trading which can last 2 to 4 days and we closed in the same trading week. When to close Position trades? usually when there is trade invalidation to the original setup. Read this Post#73,480. In the case of your trade, you can already see by the next 2 candles closed that there is no bearish reversal nor bearish move. This is when you should close your trade. The...

remember this post and the EJ BPP... 124.82 still the target

and with yesterday's Day Inside Bar, we have opportunities to jump into this.

EURUSD H1 Jan 3:

There is no 100% that every trade setup will end in profit. But I see a nice price action on D1 chart and now H1 shows an opportunity.
Note that due to the holidays, the market had been sideways with lots of gaps due to the shorter trading hours and days.
Therefore we can rely more on the price action on the D1 chart and trade the lower timeframes.

{quote} tbh I don't know the winning % but when I enter a trade I try to put the odds in my favour....here's the trade with more details...and I know it's easy and cheap to talk with hindsight but that's what I saw when I said "g/u is being pushed up"..You must also look at a time frame higher just to add more reasons why you took that trade and the 4 hour confirmed these..btw the 2nd target was hit to almost the pip {image}
Thank you for these king explanations !
I am sorry to have another question : what are the 2 upper purple lines (drawn at 1.2355/1.2381) ? former resistances ? drawn by hand or indicator ?
Thank you in advance for your future answer.
