The thing is, the general rules are pretty simple, however for a total beginner not knowing anything about PA and SR (the basics) it can be pretty frustrating. But even for total beginners it gets much easier after backtesting, demo trading, reading ...

Ah! That makes a lot of sense, I'll keep that in mind next time something similar happens. Thanks mate

Ok, I see. I just found it a bit strange to see "every" pair including CHF, AUD, NZD jumping against the JPY. I thought that, for example, big US news would impact only USD and CAD pairs, the other currencies much less or not at all, but now that ...

Some fundamentals questions. Bullish news for USD and CAD. Price spiked accordingly. But can someone explain to me why also every major European and downunder currency had bullish surge in price in against JPY? Actually all NA/European pairs made ...

It's December, holidays soon, some on vacation already. I'm guessing that's the reason

I shorted yesterday, mainly looking on the daily. Missed my TP by little. Currently retracing a bit, but I'll stay in. S/L is reasonably wide but if it gets hit it won't be a big loss.

Some trades I took today: E/U buy +25 pips U/C sell +40 pips News candles entries on both, entered on break of previous H/L, took out my TP on U/C, manual exit on E/U since the price was stalling, watchful for continuation tomorrow G/J +100 pips ...

Thanks mate - and yeah your advice makes sense, 20 pips of room is too tight for H4. These days I saw some moves go -30 and then into +50 or so

Trading Made Simple

Hello folks, entered some H4 trades last night after TO, and this morning. I am aware these are many trades, and that it's pretty dumb to risk so much, but since I'm just demo testing a new H4 plan I find it easier to learn and let it sink in if I ...

Nah I'm not offended, I just assumed he was answering to our recent topic, and I thought he had misunderstood us. When I was trading H1, I used to check the charts from Frankfurt open till early afternoon, maybe set stop orders for the Tokyo session ...

I'm glad that you reach your daily profits, but from a strictly pip-perspective - a 10-20 pip trade based on combined H4 and H1 TDI signal, I would hardly call that a success. No offense. Even with the "most core" TMS entry/exit rules and without ...

Patience? Who said anything about patience? With all due respect mate, some of us have a lot more going on in our lives than studies. Like financing them, paying the rent and helping out our family members at the same time, who either work for small ...

Hey guys, a few H4 trades today. I'm posting only 3, because these are the only ones I executed on MT4. With the other broker I can't copy the charts like this. Around 5 different pairs for circa +20/30 pips each and one around +50. I wanted to ...

Actually sometimes when I backtest I do check if there were any news! But ok, I get the picture

Trading Made Simple

Thank you for the sensible tips. Tell me, how much do the news affect your decisions - asuming we're talking strictly about TMS H4 trades, so no quick H1/M15/M5 scalps? I know that for some pairs the news start a move that often continues ...

Trading Made Simple

Hey guys, I have a question - how many H4 traders are there among us? I've been working on my H1 trading plan for the last couple of weeks, pretty successful so far, but still I feel like I'm more of a "H4 man", I feel a lot more calm, steady, and ...

Yes, with the double bands.

I've been reading through some posts a few pages back that express scepticism about TMS... I must say, I really understand the viewpoint, because I used to think similarly when I was STARTING using this strategy. The core TMS rules were "too simple" ...

Trading Made Simple

Yeah. Specifically the Synergy rule "when PL above 50, buy; when below, sell". It sure helps to know the why, but in TMS we just use it as a trend indicator as a hint for an entry, not as an entry rule itself. Note - I've never used Synergy, I just ...

Trading Made Simple

That is more important for the Synergy system, from which TMS derives, not for the TMS itself. The core TMS relies principally on the cross. I for example find the MBL indispensable to my trading, because in addition to it's main purpose (show the ...
