emmanuel7788 -- This has become your own personal thread. No one else can get a post in (let alone a response) because it gets buried in all your charts. And it's killing the thread. How about being a bit more selective about what you post -- e.g. ...

I've started experimenting using Renko charts with TMS. As with everything in life, there are trade-offs. TMS requires a combination of signal plus trend. Normal charts are good at detecting a signal, but require more detective work to confirm the ...

Yes -- exactly. By condensing the data then OHLC helps us deduce the overall "sentiment" which, in turn, helps us to make decisions about the future. Without OHLC there is no way we could make guesses about the future -- and that is all we are ...

This post is a digression from the main topic of this thread -- but I can't help myself... There is only tick data -- that is, there is no such thing as OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close bars). OHLC is an artificial construct that compresses tick data to ...

I've interacted with people like that -- they speak about financial instruments, assets, investor portfolios, trading solutions, etc. They are professional speakers and operate at a much higher level than MT4 traders. I wonder whether he has ever ...

We are all students here. The OP passed away over 7 years ago. No one here owes you anything. If the TMS system looks interesting then test it and draw your own conclusions. Lazy people expect others to prove things to them, as if my results would ...

Sure -- results are nice. I like seeing and analyzing data more than most. But why is it that some of you fellows who do most of the trash talking feel I'm obliged to prove something to you? Who are you? I don't owe you anything. Let's say you read ...

Learn to read and follow instructions -- actually, if you did, you would be among the very small minority here. BigE's instructions *NEVER* said "simply take trades based upon a TDI cross". Are you serious? Not only is crossing not sufficient, but ...

I'm new to TMS, but have enough real trades under my belt to see the promise here. I'd like to share a few of my observations to date... I'm currently trading the 8 major pairs -- H4 only... Step #1 -- Do we have a signal? a. Green crosses red. b. ...

Also, it looks like your upper chart is using a 5-SMA -- i.e. Simple Moving Average. It should be a 5-EMA -- i.e. Exponential Moving Average. When you change from SMA to EMA you'll notice a significant difference, which may influence how you ...

Take a look at the 5-EMA (the yellow line in the upper chart) -- which suggests the overall trend is still bullish. I'm also new at this game and I'm forcing myself to respect the overall trend. Sometimes you can get away with not respecting it but, ...

Old farts with too much time on their hands. This is their only means of social interaction -- so they don't give a sh-t about anyone else who came here for legitimate reasons. Just goes to show that even crappy social interaction is preferable to ...

According to Mensa's standards, less than 2% of the population can be considered geniuses ( url ). However, reading many of the posts here that percent should be much higher -- at least in the minds of the posters. A wise man once said "you don't ...

In forex (as in real life), it always comes down to trade-offs... Coming from the world of algorithmic trading (i.e. portfolio EAs) I see two options: 1. Lower TF ==> many trades, using small lot sizes 2. Higher TF ==> fewer trades, using larger lot ...
