AUDUSD is narrow range sideways but to the upside... this market type is not good for TMS trading.

{quote} Emmanuel, Just to make sure I understand how you use the MC, do you agree that, on Dec 30 of your graph I believe, the price was above the MC and therefore it was an acceptable buy signal at some point in the day? Thanks D

Hi,

That chart is D1 and as a general rule, we do not take a trade when the market is in consolidation. That MC[3] is market consolidation range and that Dec30 candle did not close above the MC[3] High.

What can TMS traders do when the D1 is in consolidation?

Why not look at lower timeframe as trade using that D1 MC[3] High-Low as support and resistance.
using price action the same way you use it in D1 trading, you can possibly have taken a trade in H1 (narrow range MC[3]) or even H4 if the MC[3] high -low is wide range.

Not forgetting that day (Dec 30) was year end holiday season and market liquidity is usually lower that week.

"Brutal" could lead to the wrong interpretation, you are right. Narrow range with whipsaws

{quote} Hi Emmanuel, Is it a good idea for newbie exit base on APB & PAC as stated in EASY Method without looking at SNR ??



First, there is no EASY Method.

What I am doing here the last few months is that newbies go back and trade like Big E when he was a newbie trader back in 2008. He traded the first Synergy trading model released in 2006/2007. From then on, Big E gained more market trading experience and he stripped away things he did not want and that evolved into what he call his 5-Method. That took him 2 years or 6,000 hours trading experience to develop his 5-Method.
The point I make here is that newbies should start like the same way he did in 2008 and gain more trading experience. Once you master trading with the APB/Ha candles with the PAC, then you can consider to be aggressive trader like Big E, remove the "yellow brick road" aka PAC and use the 5EMA,(Typical price, Shift+3).

Using the HA candles and the PAC is a proven technical trading methodology over many years. You can be 100% mechanical in entry and exit rules and over a longer term it is profitable trading D1. But do not expect 80% win rate. To make money, a win rate of 50% is good enough. Your Money management Strategy is important. It is how you make your hard earned money work harder for you. It is also important that you do not let your trading capital be locked in long periods of floating drawdown and hoping that the market will turn around in your favour and that you can report hundreds and thousands of pips wins.
To put it simply, trade the trend of the moment. If you pick tops and bottoms, you risk being locked in the trend when the reversal or correction has not happened.

there is no MC but there is a D1 IB and there is breakout of the Mother Bar of the IB. A bullish engulfing bar BUEB setup.

two possible initial Stop Loss:
- below the low of the BUEB
- below the low of the Mother Bar

use %risk and Position Sizing

I look at the price bar for the Price Action. It is the same as candlesticks.

my HA candles are in the background for its purpose.

NZDUSD Week 20 May 18: A Golden Cross of the TDI. {image} every trade setup has its risks, our job as traders is to mitigate those risks.
Hi emmanuel
May I ask why this is a golden cross but not the previous downward cross?
Seem the overall trade is going down, why to enter a long trade?

{quote} Hi Emm, Could you expand on this part for me please? Thanks in advance

Trading with small lot sizes is only for fun.
just use my usual %risk I would be trading with 2 standards lots. But if I divided that into 10 smaller lost of 0.2 lot each, I can report 10 times more pips but it can happen in both direction. It can be 1000 pips loss or 1000 pips profit. Just a game to look impressive with hundreds or thousand of pips win.

Lets look at EURGBP for example, LTF traders sold EG in the lower timeframe when the price action was near the BRN 0.8500 and 0.8520.

But TMS traders look at D1 chart and the use of the PAC. The price action was above the rising PAC at 0.8520 around May 12 and 15. There was no selling and also the Weekly was in very narrow range and did not indicate any bearishness in the market. There was no Lower high, Lower lows, ... basic PA stuff.

Just imagine if I sold around 0.8510 with 10 positions of 0.02 lots, my DD would be 10 x times 1600 pips yesterday.
Even if I had used say 2% of my trading capital, and trading small lots, it still mean my trading capital is locked in DD.
I can use that money and trade other pairs.

If anyone wants to trade with smaller lots, I have a MM solution for you trading with TMS.

{quote} Both AUDUSD and NZDUSD are in the same currency pair group and I am not supposed to trade both pairs at the same time. But today I broke my own rule and took the AU trade when market open today. The exception is I have my NU trades protected with some profits and I now target last month's high RN 0.7050 for my final exit. May not get there today but must watch what happens later when London session closing. {image}

NZDUSD Week 21 update3 May 24:

yesterday was a pullback of about 37pips from its high.
Today, I moved my TP higher (between the last spike and BRN .7100) and with more profit protected, today to see if that spike high can be tested or else, I close the trades when the HA candle closes with colour change.
Better listen to London session and what happens in the commodity markets.

Hi Emmanuel,

Thanks for the info.

Since APB/PAC trade in D1, do we exit before big news like NFP or FOMC meeting or central bank interest rate announcement ??

Lets do it in live trading.

Show me a chart of any pair on the day before NFP and FOMC, and I will explain what I usually do in managing trades.

Hi Emm,

I am a newbie here are to Forex. As you have instructed I was reading all the previous posts and I have to admit I have not finished them all and might have skipped a few. But to start with I would like to get my chart right. I have downloaded as instructed from post #25 and added to Metatrader 4, but my chart doesn't looks the same as yours. So could you please help me identify what I am missing and help me to fix it?

Hello Emmanuel,

I have setup the TMS system on metatrader 4 and can report back my first trade profit of £82.78 (demo).

I am unsure of the 5 EMA settings/values and was hoping you can relay to me.

I was also hoping for an overall sanity check of my setup to ensure it is correct going forward.

Thanks
