{quote} {quote} I belive what is not very clear, is when NOT to keep opening positions, I've posted a similar question kevin and found other similar questions by other members already posted here too When we use MEME money management just after SETUP candles it's very good, but then we try to "trade the trend till it ends", by keepin opening positions while the trend exists, and then suddently end up with bad positions on the extreme end point of a trend I'm in the same situation more often than I wished and still not sure how to avoid them, hopefully...

everybody wants to trade the trend until the trend ends, why?

It is a simple Fear and Green when traders want to trade at the start of the trend and then they want to stop trading when the trend ends.
They were taught to buy low and sell high. They learn buy the dips and sell the rallies. They learn buy high, buy higher,... and sell low, sell lower, ... and other sorts trading behaviour.

Fear - they fear to miss out if they do not get into the market at the start of the trend.
Greed - they are greedy and want to capture 100% of a trend.

How many of you have taken down notes of all my posts? What are the key points in your notes?

I am sure some of you have missed several key points of ME/ME trading.

I spent almost 2 years to learn and practice ME/ME trading till I understood what it can do for my business.

Think of this ancient wisdom,

“I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.”

I do and understand - I learn by experience
I see and remember - I learn by visual experience
I hear and forget - I hear but a lot goes out of the other ear..

That's my interpretation, feel free to correct.
It's in fear when people show what they truly value.

You can do that. But I prefer following major trend. If the major trend is down then only trade short.
SL/TP around swing high & swing low but you have to watch out PA. I always remind myself that trend can at least last three HA candles if I select a setup correctly.

Dear Traders,

I want to know if I am right. I think TDI signal from 2,7 matches exactly with the colour change of moving averate set to 2 close.

Is it a good substitute for TDI? Just want to know for my personal opinion.

Honestly, I do not trade the TMS system, however, your top down approach, and Money Management strategies are second to none. As any good trader knows, Psychology, Money Management, then Method is the appropriate way to approach trading. You have proven mastery of all three. I would be honored to be in your room.

any trend indicator based on the price bar will always show nice on the charts. if youy can shoft that MA by say, 2 bars, that will look a lot better.

you can also use the MACD and replicate the TDI.

Hi Emmanuel,

Let me try.

On monthly, we have March 2016 candle as WRB. I am not so sure if WRB analysis is used for very high time frame like monthly, but clearly its high and low in confluence with MN swing levels is keeping PA in between 0.71/0.7200 to 0.7700 for almost a year.

On weekly, PA has been trending upwards since first week of 2017 but it now has reached the confluence of resistance, MN WRB high, MN swing level and also BRN 0.7700.

On daily, up trend started when 04 January candle made the breakout of the MC of 23 Dec 16 and also closed across MN swing level of 0.7233.
Had I taken that entry, my results for January would have been different? I dont think so. I could have won few pips on 05 January but tried to short on 06 January when it retraced on lower time frame and lost what I earned on 05 January. My trading basically goes on like this.

Back to the chart now.

Interestingly, there are 4 MN swing levels on my chart and all D1 candles closed across them were big ones. The question is how do we take advantage of it?

For today, PA is within the range of MC of 02 Feb, so no D1 trade until it breaks. To me, not much room for PA to go higher to initiate position trading, so my most likely scenario is wait first for PA to break MC low and also closes across MN level of 0.7514 and go short, which we may have some empty space.

Thank you as always.

Okoso

Hi Okoso,

you are getting very close to know what I know....

Those MN price swing levels are MN Line Chart. this you all must know by now. Just imagine you are trading the MN Line Chart, what do you do see when the price makes opposite move, what happen to the Line Chart (the close price)?
you know where the MN historical price swing levels which are the most recent .
you drop down to the lower timeframe chart, in our case we trade the D1 chart , get into the market before those MN swing levels because the price bar which crosses and closes across those MN swing levels are usually (not 100% of them all) big bars/candles. We use the 5-Method basics to trade and take advantage of the buy and sell using the 5EMA.



see my MN Line Chart below:

You must trade the D1 chart with 'three eyes', your visual two eyes on your D1 chart and your 'third eye' seeing the MN chart in background.
