{quote} Big E never taught people to sell when the price action is clearly making higher highs higher lows.

Sorry emmanuel, but I would have to strongly disagree with you here

check post #115 one of Big E's "Training Charts"

https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...65#post4572665


Price is trending up and He is marking entries literally every time the TDI crosses [regardless of direction]. Big E never even traded on ANY of those TDI crosses he marked. He just marked them up in hindsight after noting that the winners over that time period outweighed the losers. But most traders who have been around a while [or tried to trade like Big E did here] will know all too well that you just end up getting absolutely slaughtered trading like that. These entries also have no regard for the time of day either and if markets are opened [I think Erebus pointed that out once]

This is not a "Training Chart", this is a How to get margin called quickly chart.

This is a how to trade like Iddd Training chart [perhaps this is where he gets it from]

Big E even says in that post " If you decide to trade this Simple Method I recommend you go to your local hardware store and buy a wheelbarrow to carry your pips to the bank."

What a f**king joke?
If You trade like the training chart tells you the only thing that wheelbarrow will be collecting is cobwebs!

Perhaps Big E was a profitable trader [couldn't tell you tbh]
But he certainly isn't a great teacher.

When I came here fresh from babypips I learned absolutely nothing from Big E. Improvements in trading came from others traders posts.

another lesson from that chart is very simple:

sell when HA candle closed red exit sell when HA candle closed green.

buy when HA candle close green exit buy when HA candle close red.

I actually made an expert advisor to do just that.

you don't need the TDI for that, right?

you catch the BIG ONE!

There are zero trading lessons to be learned from that chart. It is a cherry picked chart marked up in hindsight without any regard at all for the time of day.

I'm going to do a test on the Daily charts. When green crosses red I'll stay in until green crosses red again. I'll report the results in a week or so... I'll only enter if the candles are medium length or larger... wish me luck ..

tbh, seeing that chart and the HA candles, gave someone an idea in 2017 when we were discussing system development and dropping the TDI.

we developed a money management strategy for a new TMS MEME model.

we use the HA candle colour change as objects to trigger the expert advisor to initiate the buy and sell phase signals.

last year live trading forward test is positive.

Kain.
How come?
Did you enlarge the chart, draw a trend lines, added breakeven + spead or trailer stop to all those enters? You would have found that all of them are winners.
May I ask where did you learn about the TDI indicator?

Emmanuel said that Big E taught us never to buy in an uptrend, I pointed out out that this is simply not true by referencing one of Big E's training charts.

Yeah, there are more winners than losers on that particular cherry picked chart, but if someone trades like this without the benefit of hindsight he's going to end up strongly in the negative! have you met Iddd?

There's even a trade in there where BigE has marked a TDI cross [short] above the 68.

I learned about TDI from this thread, dean malone's video's, likica's thread, lastingwells thread, mr aussie's thread....

now take that same chart from Big E post#115,

and read then do this,
Post#2617
2scoops asked me a long time ago what would be the most beneficial to learning this method for higher success... The answer was simple... study old charts for set ups... now strip down everything on that chart at that point... trends, angles, S/R levels, News times, Stoch angle within the 20-80 lines..etc. Burn it into your memory... I spent 2 years doing that.... so what does that mean?

It takes me 15 seconds to strip a chart down to nothing including the TDI & Stoch's. Taking clean trades is a breeze for me... why?

@Kain775,

I seen only very few trades taken. Can count them... less than 10.

we all know there was never any evidence of his live trades.

all his charts are very educational about his trading journey from newbie 2008 to ...2011.

back then, people simply loved his enthusiasm.

Well then you did learn something from BigE > TDI?

The TDI crossover above 68? Yep it is there. The angle of that crossover is below 5. The two entry's that follow is also a bit to close to 68 to feel at easy about entering a trade. TDI cross.pdf mention don't trade that close to 68 / 38. There is a thread in FF where the OP only placed sell above 68 and buy below 38. Read the first few post's and walked away. Now sometimes I do place trades in above / below those level's. The green bounce red that followed after my sell order was one of those buy enters "to close" to 68. Look where price went with that bounce.
So when do you trade those level's? If you don't you lose, if you do you also lose.

I'll give this to Big E, his charts and commentary lived upto the thread title [simple]

If that trading chart is so useful why did it take you several years to become profitable using the TDI?

If Big E did know how to trade then he simplified things in this topic in order to appeal to the masses. But he dumbed things down so much that what he was saying actually wasn't useful, but instead arguably deceptive

Before he started with Forex he was trading stock.
Div, when did you started to trade? Are there FF members that follow you? The date you joined FF is two years after BigE. So that will also make you a newbie TRADER.

Thought as much, as I can't remember coming across any in this topic...

There's a mountain of faith in this guys trading abilities, but when you really look at what he gave us in this topic ....it was introducing forexfactory to the TDI and not much else.

most of his posts and charts made me think (Deep Practice) and that's where I learned a lot from and on my own.

its was his journey based on his belief in 'keep it simple' which has its limitations.

his journey ended when he died.

but we are alive today and we can make it on our own and work on our own trading systems.

we all have our own experience trading with different TDI versions and my conclusion is,

Too much time is being spent on TDI and Stochastics,
Too little time on Price Action and Support/Resistance.
And no time spend on Money Management, Risk Management for entries and exits, When and How to Let Profits Run.
You need to find your WINNING EDGE and the TDI is not in the winning edge equation.

Me, seven years? Started early 2015. Only since last year June / July I started to understand TMS enough to use two chart's M15 / H1. Since then not looked back. Sure I still put dent's in the account, so what. Apparently in this thread it is a crime not to be constant profitable and if you are then you are lying.

Are you profitable? Yes. Proof it! OK. That is a fake you are lying. You read those post's.
