Disliked{quote} You want to look at it that way YES. ------- Little bit background info. Now what type of trader are you? Short term / Long term / intraday / scapler / swing............ and a few in between. All of them will determine how you see the trend on any chart. The TDI crossover determine when I should trade. Not the long term or short term trend. Yes, I do look at the trend direction on D1 and feel more at easy if the trade is in the same direction. ----- The chart you refer to, what do you see at the time of the crossover? - Both TDI are: M15...Ignored
On M15 most of the times you trade against any bigger trend otherwise you would have a hard time ever finding enough valid setups to cover your losing trades.
If you enter on M15 TDI cross over such trade isn’t planned for hundreds of pips. At least that’s what I do when trying to find a tdi setup for M15, I aim for 20-30 pips, in most cases this is one little swing up or down and a trade time duration of 1-2 hours at maximum before its over.
In my GU example posted the trade should only show to you that I used to had a very nice steep good looking TDI green angle on the M15 chart and it was worth nothing because just a few minutes later it changed direction. And this happens quiet a lot of times, that’s why I said such good tdi green angle gave no little extra edge at all...
