{quote} money management strategy is important much more important than the method using oscillators like the Stoch and TDI. therefore my conclusion after 7 years trading TMS 5-Method is still this below: 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 to Cut-Losses short and How to Let Profits Run. You need to find your WINNING EDGE and the TDI is not in the winning edge equation.
thx for the reminder emm.. i emphasize too much whether stoch 8,3,3 hour hand is at 1 or 2 o'clock.. if if it is at 2 o'clock, then i would hesitate to enter the trade, whereas there are other things that are important to consider too..

hey Tekkies


this post your post#73,461 about the TDI re-painting is wrong (highlighted in red below) and that website is correct. You still need to post a correction and update.


TDI Red Green.mq4 (non repainting)

about the clock angle 12-2 and 4-6 ,

it was Craig Harris who used that on his Stoch(8,3,3)

Big E copied that but he used that 12-2 and 4-6 on the TDI Post#25.

when both the Stoch(8,3,3) and TDI #25 green line which basically is the EMA(2) of the RSI(13) data, show steep angle ... that is usually a very strong momentum seen in the price action for an entry. Most often it is a swing high/swing low with a 'unique' reversal candle type.

someone made a mistake using google search on clock angle... stay tune for more fun.

Why do you disregard BigE's advice in this thread?
Did you read any of posted by BigE where he used the angle of stoch to be at 1 / 2 or 4 / 5 before placing a trade?
If so, please refer to that post in this thread.
Did you even read Post#1? I also use a Stochastics (8,3,3) indicator. It is ONLY used to confirm direction. Nothing else

Go to post#647. Understand the point's BigE mentioned in that post. Add support / resistant to that post.
You will notice that the "hesitation" you have will not be there when it is time to enter a trade.

You have reached your limitation when you only read the OP's 463 posts in this thread.

There is lot more to learn from his 463 posts in this thread which also show 304 charts with lots of details to take note and learn from.

Here is an important post#336
Quoting eelfranz
Those wanting more examples go to Forum: Commercial, then Craig Harris Stochastics Method... then start reading on page 246, post 3676 to the end... you will learn more fast... We switched from there to only discuss this method in the new forum...
In the old thread title Craig Harris Stochastics Method, do not be misled by the thread title. That thread started as GBPUSD M15 but it was changed by FF admin becasue Big E was quoting from Craig Harris Natural Flow Forex seminars and videos. In that old thread he shared several methods - the 21/233 Method and the 5-Method , which was moved to this Trading Systems forum.

Do you really understand Big E posts in the same way he had in his mind?
Stochastics only for direction, cut this bullshit nonsense it is not so simple just for direction. Got to Post#336 and follow the OP in his old thread and learn everything he posted and you will learn why the Stochastic is use for direction.
The 5EMA also use for direction... Post#261. How many indicators do we need for direction?

You quote Post#647 very often but we have not seen you show on charts what is support and resistance on charts. I know you will say go to babypips.com etc. bla bla bla as usual. You are an empty vessel using your usual pretext.

There are another 861 posts in his old thread.

And there is this Post#296 from Nov 2008.

Tekkies

here is one post where Big E mentioned the clock 12-2 using the Stochastics.

He learned it from Craig Harris tutorial videos.

PipTalk, If you watched the video on Oscillators you understand how he uses Stochastics for entries. Imagine the face of a clock on your chart indicator for Stochastics. If you have a line crossing up at a 12-2 PM angle its safe to enter normally. ***But: don't enter too late after it crosses and points up or down. (nothing is 100% all the time in forex). If the line all of a sudden points to the right at the 3 oclock angle, don't enter. Rules the same but opposite for the lines when going down (4-6 PM). Thanks... E

When the Stoch(8,3,3) and the EMA(2) of the RSI(13) data both show the same 12-2 and 4-6 angles , these are usually the best trade setups where the price action shows strong price momentum to jump into the market.

Here are the links to those videos and a pdf.

the swing high / swing low as explained in these videos which were posted in Big E'old thread.

Any MQ4 programer will state that it is correct. The -1 will the reduce limit by one. The i counter will then only operate on all closed bar's. Only when the timeframe start a new bar the i counter will update the red and green lines.

Got nothing to do and read some more post further down the line.

Reading this post, I can understand why Emmanuel is posting what he is posting. Take note of the highlights
Post 13,479
I saw this somewhere,so just thought it is relevant here too.
Here goes:

I have noticed over the years as one who trades for a living that when someone like Eelfranz comes up with a working system it often gets tainted. The primary reason for this is newbies who don't understand that no system is profitable 100% of the time and when they lose on a trade they immediately think that it is the system's fault and that it needs to be tweaked a bit because in a particular set of circumstances it did not work. Of course since no system is 100% these "improvements" need to be improved upon and the stupidity perpetuates itself to where the original system that worked 80% of the time has been updated to an unrecognizable thing that doesn't work at all. All indicators are lagging and the addition of more accomplishes nothing except to reinforce your preconceived notions of where the market should be heading. Currency trading, especially in these crazy times does not rely on history but the followers of this thread would do well to check out history and return to the original system Eric established and accept the losses that come with any system, study money management, and quit trying to reinvent the wheel. End of sermon.

Post#12,912 highlight below.
"So many new traders... Do not think you can trade with us without reading the thread and taking notes. READ & STUDY."

Read and study is what I am doing in this thread since March 2011 ....

I keep repeating telling people to read the OP posts in Forex Factory and to follow his trading journey from the time he started a newbie trader in 2008. You need to learn EVERYTHING the OP learned in his 6,000 hours learning to trade retail spot forex. There is no short-cut to the 6,000 hours of hardwork and sacrifices.

I do not force anyone to follow my trading style or my way. Nobody will ever be able to trade like me because
1) no two traders are the same
2) traders they do not know my mental strategy how I trade the markets.

which TDI is the holy grail?
there are so many versions posted all over the place.

Like these two versions shown below, which one will be the winning edge?

TDI Red Green (Realtime) version updates on every price tick so you see the lines moves up and down every price tick.

TDI Red Green (Post#25) this is original 2006 version from Dean Malone CompasssFX . This version updates only when the price bar closed. THis version re-paints it history bars when chart get refreshed.

TDI alone will not give anyone his/her WINNING EDGE in trading this retail spot forex market.
You need more than technical indicators to win in this brutal markets.
I will not mislead people with such 'keep it simple' belief that the TDI is winning edge. It is a blantant lie.

Hi Folks

I get a few PMs from members and when they read my post on DE30 they tell me they also want to trade this.

Please do not think it is so easy to trade any markets. It took me many years ... 30 years of learning and trying all sorts of trading systems and styles. First 10 years was paying the market tuition money to learn the hard way like all people wanting to make money trading the markets. I have not seen anyone made it to become consistent profitable in less 3 years and nor even less than 5 years. I would be lying if I tell you so. Anyone who make such claims in this thread is lying.

Can not be true. It is either a lie or you don't understand the meaning of words and sentence like:
#1 The key to this method is the Traders Dynamic Index indicator for entries and exits. I also use a Stochastics (8,3,3) indicator. It is ONLY used to confirm direction. Nothing else.
#6
Entries and exits...
We Enter a trade when green crosses red on the TDI at the beginning of that candle...
If it's candle 3 or more don't enter... find another trade set up. The only exception is if green bounces off red and continues... it's ok to re-enter on the bounce...
Exit your trade when the green TDI line goes flat, starts to hook over or makes a check mark reversal.

Have underline two sentence.
What you post about stoch is not the same as what BigE posted. Mortal (Post 99,242) problem is directly attributed to what you post about stoch.

After 9 years you still have not gasp the meaning of:
- TDI at the beginning of that candle...
- A Normal entry is when green crosses red on the TDI (and you can actually see the green on the other side).
-If everything else looks strong, I don't wait for the candle to close... I enter ASAP.
That is why you repeatedly post this:

Blaiser that is wrong.
I can and have been wrong about what BigE really meant to say in some of his posts.
For example: How did BigE counted the bar's?
For me the active open bar is bar null.
Was the active bar for BigE also null or one?
If BigE used Null to start to count the bars then any trader will not be successful with this method. (All entry's will be a bar late.)
If BigE used One to start to count bars then any trader can become successful with this method.

HA candles average a 3-8 candle run in most cases when it reverses...
That's why I want to enter on candle 1 or 2 if I see a set up.
A single candle on the 4hr nets you 30-60 pips or more generally.
If it goes 3-4 candles you've already made 80-150 pips.
#54
A set up is NOT GREEN TOUCHING RED. Why? Many times green bounces back and the original direction continues.
That's a bounce trade.
Wait for green to CROSS RED and open your trade at the beginning of the new candle... usually candle 1 or 2.
Catch the moment

Did he really meant to say "moment" or a typo for "momentum"
There is a fast difference between the two words.
#647.....How does the momentum look right now (12-2, 4-6)
