Dislikedhi edlich & co. been reading the thread four times over the last 3 months. it's all i do. i'll start contributing and trading soon but the best advice i can give is to read every single post in this thread more than once.
as you work through the thread you will see and understand the development of the system. it's really not that much about the tdi. the tdi is there to help you read what the candles are writing. you will soon be able to not look at the tdi and read from the candles only if you read this thread thoroughly.
i don't even trade....Ignored
What people are discussing now is, to all extents, a different system. I recall in the early days that LE1 said he would introduce different criteria- we had counter-rend, the bounce, etc. What's being discussed now is different. In some ways, maybe a separate thread may have been pertinent, but I'm enjoying reading new ideas, having observed, on and off, since the beginning.
I'd recommend that, to those who prefer the original criteria, please stick with that, as LE1 did state many times to follow just one system, rather than bounce around. I'll admit to have found recent posts a little baffling, which added a little unnecessary stress, so I've pulled back and focus on the original criteria. Happily so, I might add.
I'd suggest finding what makes you comfortable and sticking with it, and not letting the deviations and complications affect your trading, otherwise you'll lose.
The common strand throughout is to share your good fortune with those less fortunate
