No pity asked for - just hoping to learn from my mistake and maybe help someone along the way. I decided to pass on the AUD/USD - candle too small - maybe that means you should go for it - lol

No I took the same one (but I got stung for more pips). I guess PA was a little choppy and the setup candle could have been a little stronger. Resistence was about 40-50 pips away so all in it looked an OK (ish) setup. Maybe as BigE says pass on ...

I passed because of the resistence too, i've learnt my lesson on trading on or near resistence.

I can just imagine BigE's first post back, its not going to be pretty, just use my ?!@$$ template! Keep it simple, follow the rules I gave you. On a serious note I think TDI's that have extra features like Plamens but that closely match the speed ...

I can only trade the 4HR and the daily at the moment. The 1HR TF is impossible to trade for me while I'm at work and I don't trade at all after the London close (following BigE's advice). I check the 6AM GMT 4HR candle before leaving for work, and ...

quick reminder from BigE (this was from a PM he sent me after I'd had a bad trade): One of the important things you learned today is passing on iffy trade set ups... look for those 5 o'clock, 1 o'clock trade set ups, trade set ups coming off the ...

Yep I agree with that it doesn't necessarly mean -15 pips it could also a 15 pip drawback in profit. I was just pointing out that this is only when he's monitoring the trades, he trades at night so usually its unmonitored apart from at the beginning ...

What I gathered from BigE is that he doesn't use a trailing stop. He monitors the trades early on and if they pull back 12-15 pips in this period he exits. Or if the trade has moved up his way (say 35 pips) he sets his SL at BE + spread and lets the ...

Plamen has very kindly updated his TDI indicator to have an option to turn off the refresh - he explains it better than I can on post #3749 Thanks again Plamen

I'm with BigE here - refreshing is definately not part of the TMS method. I've reverted back to the old version of Plamens TDI that doesn't refresh. Just open your charts - judge everything on this "snapshot" of the TDI and make your trade. The TDI ...

You got it - start of candle 2 if your happy with the angle of the TDI and the strength of the setup candle and all the forex basics are all ok. This whole method is aggressive, its about getting in as soon as possible on the momentum as soon as we ...
