Eight(8) pairs took me the whole of this week in between my own home chores, running errands, etc.

I use the original Synergy APB in post#25.
The PAC is the simply the 5 period Smoothed Moving Average set to High and Low.

The same plain old synergy trading model, keep it in its original form.

Trade in conservative way, no need to be aggressive in entries. Trade only when we see the trend has been establish and the price move out of the PAC.
Trade only once per day.

The results shows that we do not need high win rate what some traders claim to have 85% win rate. Like I said long time ago, aim for 55% and I will show you how to crank up those pips with ME/ME and Money Management strategy and make cash flow every year. You will have a few losing baskets, few losing weeks, even 3 to 4 losing months but never a losing year in the past 10 years.

NZDCAD and AUDCAD are the two worst pairs to trade on D1 chart. Avoid these pairs.
Also AUDNZD is not good when compared to the 8 pairs which Big E traded.

next week, I will run tests for the EURxxx and GBPxxx crosses.

be patient!

{quote}You can also share with us what you have read so far and your observations of the differences now and the way the OP traded. You are free to quote any posts here and ask questions and I am sure the posters will be happy to reply
G'day

Thanks for the kind welcome, fellow member.

I've seen other threads where the original posters insult and ban the new
members only for asking simple questions.

Sorry for the late reply, I am reading the links you shared with me.


I believe these are the main differences between the OP's trading way
and the current way:


1: Entry

OP: He used to take a setup when the green line crossed the red line and only used 5ema as visual reference with TMS.

Quoting eelfranz
Only red and green lines (double thickness) and remove the others... cut out any possible confusion... make it simple for YOU !
Quoting eelfranz
I don't worry about PA crossing the 5 ema. I totally depend on the TDI for my entry signals...
Now: I've seen some people has added back the yellow and blue lines, besides using 5ema as a filter.

I read some have added back these lines to avoid false setups and surely it's good for this.

But I think the OP wanted us to take off stuff, not adding more back which reduce simplicity.


2: Exit

OP: TDI hooks over or goes flat.

Quoting eelfranz
According to the rules you exit when the TDI GREEN LINE goes flat, check mark reversal or hooks over
Now: APB changes colour.

I think the new rule is better because the OP way missed some pips

But I understand that he traded full lots so he had to get out quick.

3: Candles

OP: He only traded with HA candles.

Quoting eelfranz
We only use Heiken Ashi candles... that's important.
Now: Currently members are using JP candlestick or Bar charts.

I read they use now JP candles because the HA hides the real price.

For me it's better to see the real price but I'm not sure if it's ok to change the OP's rule.

4: Trading Hours

OP: He searched for setups at 10 p.m, after taking a trade he went to sleep wake up at 3am to BE or close his trades then at 6 a.m, he would have closed all his trades no matter what..

Quoting eelfranz
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....
Now: I believe people open and exit trade at any hours.

I think this OP's rule is flexible because he lived in America, others here have a different time zone.


5: Trade Management

OP: One entry One exit with full lots


Now: Multiple entries and exits with mini lots or micro lots I think.

I really don't understand well yet how ME/ME works.

6: Expert Advisors

OP: Didn't use any EA.

Now: Mptm, THVcavemanager, TMS_v19, xTDI,etc.

I think EAs saves us some time so we can do other things.

7: Indicators

OP: Only TDI+APB+STO. No additionsa indis.

Now: (TDI+APB+STO) + ATR+COT+TMS Monitor+EMA 10,50,200 + Guppys, etc.

I think now there are too many indicators.

To conclude I think these additions, you all made have really improved the method but I think at some point of the path, you deviated from the thread purpose: to make trading simple.

For me now, though I don't doubt the new rules are more profitable than the first post ones, I honestly think this is not simple anymore.

I believe you have created a whole new methodology.

So for a new member like me, it's difficult to not get confused with the multiple methods contained in this thread.

I want to trade TMS but ME/ME gets in the way.

I want to trade ME/ME but TMS gets in the way.


Moreover I think all the ones who have changed the rules are indirectly implying that the way the method is described in the first post didn't work for them therefore it's not so successful as the OP claimed it to be.

This is basically what I think they're meaning when the rules are changed.

Well this is only my personal opinion.

I read a new thread will be opened about ME/ME, I'd like to participate there because I think that'll become one of the best on FF.


Good luck with your trades for next week 15.

I understand your passion to defend the original idea but please tell me:

Have you been profitable for at least 6 months trading exactly the way it's laid out in the first post no matter if on a demo?

Besides let's assume you succeed at banning the member emmanuel7788 from here or he opens a new thread, then:

How will you avoid new members to try to change the rules again since there's no admin in this thread?

I don't mean to offend anybody but I believe eventually a new person will come here and try to change the
rules not because they have a bad intention but because I think this method traded exactly as the first post is
not as successful as the OP claimed it to be.

I think 2 * ATR100. And the stop will not be hit often, because the exit is, when the color of the HA candle changes.

ReverseFlash, you have already conclude that the OP's rules / method is not successful so why would I even bother to convince you other wise.

Just to humour you.

Good day fellow member.

I think you misunderstood my FF join date with my trading experience.

I started reading about FX since one year ago so I'm not completely a newbie.

I knew about the synergy method but I hadn't found this thread yet.

1 Entry:

#647 those are FX basic things, any trader must check even if he doesn't use this method.

2 Exit:

It's obvious if you get out as soon as an indicator crosses opposite, you'll let some pips on the table if it turns back into your favour.

3 Candles:

When he wrote HA candles, he refered to the sinergy APB, this is how I've understood it from the beginning.

I think you don't really understand his posts.

5 Expert Advisors:

Any strategy based on an indicator cross can be semi-automatized, saving the trader some time, this is very obvious too.

7: Indicators


Mentioned in 3. + HA are the APB from the synergy method.

-----------------------------------------

I was looking for an EA and saw an emmanuel788'post about the xTDI then I found this thread:

https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...55#post9702755

I've been reading this thread since then.

I have plenty of time and reading comprehension, I finished the TMS Big E. pdf and I got a grasp of the way eelfranz traded then jumped to the last pages and saw members shared their charts with a lot of ema's and other indis the OP didn't use so it was easy to understand they were trading different than him.

(All this before emmanuel7788 shared those links to me.)

Then I saw member tekkies'posts all around complaining about the new rules so I realized he had a passion to trade exactly as the OP but it's a fact he hasn't shown a single sign that is doing well trading that way.

I found eelfranz said he had over a 75% winning rate, but I think the average winning rate for this method is much lower.

I assume this, because people are always trying to change the rules from the first post (at least this is what I've seen in the last pages), if it would really be so simple and profitable, they wouldn't need to change anything, I think.

I didn't exactly said this method was not succesful.

To claim this, first I'd need to forward-test this method for at least 6 months, have you?

What I wrote was: this method is not so successful as the OP claimed it to be (>75%)

I think you must read my post again, almost all what I quote is on the first page.

Besides as traders we must know the week number to keep a journal and know its market condition.


P.S: For you to be happy I must confess, I'm emmanuel7788 with another username, but strangely he doesn't even know I'm him lol

Tekkies: The little I know about TMS I get full of it wrong lol


Good luck with your trades for week 15.

hello ReverseFlash...

I believe that Tekkies and others are simply trying to make a point that this was a thread by Big E's and must be respected with OP rules... regardless if OPs method is highly profitable or not. However, as I have said before ... you said as well, no more Op admin to control this thread.

I am also not successful with TMS-5 method alone... thus I tried to add up/remove some things with it. Thus, it won't be simple anymore, though on my part, still simple because I've coined it to suit me ; )-

At the moment, this thread is like a royal rumble sort of things ; )- ...who dominates at the end? For now, there's only one that continues to dominate this thread... and continues to receive castigation from time-to-time... it will never end...

Others, were able to create a new thread, in which I believe is a better way for some who were not successful with TMS-5 alone... and if only wanted to share their own method outside of this thread.

Since the likes of Tekkies and others ---occasionally ; )- that are passionate to defend this thread with Op rules, that sometimes, it looks some kind of a fanatic or legend like following to defend this thread. It is hard to defend this thread if you are not an Admin.

By the way, I'm also accused of being Emmanuel too, that is why I call some of them a Fanatic not passionate defender of this thread. But I understand them because... it is totally hard... You keep on quoting the Ops and pointing links to certain pages where the Op said this and that.... sometimes, they have their own interpretation.
