I see.
- When you plot buy and sell vertical lines on history charts after the TDI has been repainted it is hindsight trading.
- When you markup historical charts it is current and relevant.

do you still believe the TDI is your Holy Grail after 4 years?

your post#102,709 is hindsight trading.
it does not matter how you do your "rewiring" and or how much "rewiring" in your brain, you will lose the shirt on your back.
Trading from TDI cross to TDI cross is what your brokers love to see traders trade. You are promoting the modus operandi of brokers to make money for themselves.

Tekkies

my question was and your reply post just confirmed that.

do you still believe the TDI is your Holy Grail after 4 years?

and you detracted to your "(Hint: break-even and stop-loss)"

break-even and stop-loss cannot be holy grail because Each Entry must have Two Exits. You should know by now why Two Exits.
The initial stop-loss is what your trade risk "R" is and that is what you should use to calculate your trade Position Size.
Capital Protection is an example of Risk Management and that is when you move one of the Exit to Breakeven.
You will have many straight losses because many trades will not move in your favour and allow you to move your initial Stop Loss.

your chart shows you do not follow TDI for exit and also did not use Capital Protection as Risk Management. There is no consistency in your Buy and Sell marked on your chart below.

the TDI has been a part of my trading journey following the OP' posts in Forex Factory. That is not a Holy Grail indicator. No technical studies oscillators based system are holy grail systems. Any one making such claims are liars.

I switched back to the Fozzy-RSI which I have using for very long time since I started with the RSI.
Fozzy-RSI do not have the re-painting issue which is inherent in Dean Malone TDI released in 2005.

The TMS_V19 EA is used to provide the trade setup signals according to the OP' trading style and has worked for years. Other added-on features by other members may not work that well, some do work differently and may be better for more conservative traders.

My conclusion having followed SteveHopwood' thread is the TMS_V19 should not be used as a trading robot running 24x7.
Use that EA as a live market tutor when traders are new to TMS 5-Method and learn online in live market conditions.
Use that EA only for alert signals for the technical conditions you want to look for to trade and you make the decision to pull the trigger.
Trading TMS 5-Method on higher timeframes - H4 and D1 is better than on H1 and M15.
The choice of the Traders_Dynamic_Index version also will produce different results.

I still have lots of PMs last few days and I will reply them with live market chart examples this week. There is no generic set files for the EA because there are too many variables and different market type conditions which the traders must decide themselves.

USDJPY Apr 20 M15 Tokyo session

TMS_V19 EA shows the various technical conditions but it does not say anything about previous price action and support & resistance.

The traders must decide using their own discretionary rules from their own knowledge and experience just like the OP of this thread.

TMS_V19 Q&As

you do not need to have any of the TMS indicators on your trading chart when you run TMS_V19 EA...
but you need them in the correct folders in your MT4 platform.
TMS_V19 has also other features and capabilities for example - how to trade with the TDI other lines, like its yellow line and the 50-level.

see recent posts link below:

A price action trade example when TMS_V19 did not give any trade setup conditions signal alert

- 5-bars swing low when FO H1 candle closes
- setup is the REVERSAL candle with Stoch cross signal
- TDI confirms with the setup and HA PA croos above its 5EMA

buy entry when the LO candle opens M15.

Bro Emm,
What TDI and Stoch settings corresponds to 12-2 Clockwise and 4-6 Clockwise, according to the OP?
