Trading Made Simple

I was reading through the recent posts and noted some posts by Tekkies that questioned an entry by the ToxicFakeTrader. So, I went back and checked to see what the fuss is about.

post #109821. Clearly, making a SELL in a larger upswing! Classic COUNTER-TREND trade that was executed on the riskiest part of the move! LOL

Even the H4 TDI shows the TDI green angled up from the swing low, and then SLIGHTLY down but essentially flat.

Because direction change comes from below, look at M15 from that swing low. Compare price and TDI.

Obviously, ToxicFakeTrader made yet ANOTHER mistake that pure luck saved him from another failure.

You already mentioned TDI is flat. Any TDI setup between 2/4 becomes automatically a no trade TDI setup. With Stoch also flat it becomes a really serious non tradable TDI setup.
Why bother with the rest? Those Hi-Hi, Hi-Lo stuff is going to confirm what TDI is showing already.

A much better TDI setup for a sell was a couple of bar's/ hours back.
TDI below 4, Stoch confirm direction, just above 50 line, Below resistance level.

So, according to that logic, you pick a timeframe to do your analysis of the TDI, and ONLY that TF and HIGHER have potential trades!

Clearly, if you examine the images in post #109923 with TDI FLAT on a higher TF, there can very well be entries on smaller TFs: In this case, there were buys.

And no, price does NOT necessarily confirm what TDI is showing! Look at the M15 image after the green vertical (H4 swing low). How are the price swing highs looking? Like EQUAL Highs? And what does the TDI green show for the corresponding areas? HIGHER HIGHS! This is not some rare condition, either. Make a point of looking for these divergences on SMALLER TFs than the TF that you plan to make your entries.

there was a major flaw in the original Traders_Dynamic_Index by Dean Malone as some members detected. But I think it was coded the way Dean Malone specified to his coder. Then he released a new version to correct that flaw. After that he released several other newer versions between 2008 and 2011. Big E has all the versions because he was a paid subscriber to CompassFX and Dean Malone, and Craig Harris, and Lance Beggs, and ... and .... and ....

Knowing Big E loved to tweek other systems/methods, I think he would have moved on and he would not have stop at his 5-Method, there would be newer methods...we will never know.

But there is one thing which I learn from Big E and his trading journey is - Simple RULES, and simple rules for entries and exits. It is really not about the TDI.

He does not know money management because he has no real money to invest nor to trade the markets. He thinks he can trade $500 to one million dollars by compounding. No brains but big dream.

---------------------------------------------

Simple:
When the TDI in the timeframe you trade is flat or within that preferred angle 2-4 , you follow the OP post as his advice. You have to take time and be bother when the TDI does not look good the way you want.

"When you see a TDI cross that doesn't look good... start checking other timeframes for the trade... look at other templates at different timeframes... do a thorough investigation before entering any trade. If you do this faithfully your win rate will increase dramatically... If its not quite ready put it on a watch list and go back and check it every 5,15 or 30 minutes..."

For example when I see the EURUSD H4 was in CONSOLIDATION as I posted in Post #109,812, I started stalking it every hour #109,813 and # 109,814 , .... then when I was out running errands I checked my mobile and on H1 was a REVERSAL setup ... Post#109,821. I took the trade on H1.

The pre-trade plan was already done before Sydney open, I know the H-H> H- L and L_H >L-L stuff well before hand. I also know the market type having done my WTDA on the weekend, I also know the next higher timeframes Daily and Weekly, I also know its Friday and on Fridays the OP did not trade his H4. I also knew that the OP did not trade 6 H4 candles during the week- which 6 H4?

I know a many things because I READ & STUDY and learned EVERYTHING from the Big E's posts which covers his trading journey in Forex Factory.

There are some things which I had learned and I simply would not follow ... one is $money to Las Vegas.

Now back to these two charts

so we go back and read & study as our usual reading habit in FF.

Trading the Daily TDI cross to cross may sound like a SIMPLE Rule, but wait a second and read the detail what the OP wrote in his #8703. He did mentioned this :
medium and larger candle sizes....
how do you decide what is medium size candles?
what tool do you use to see the medium size candles?

I knew that post well because I have done my back-testing and forward-testing with real money. I will show you the results later. In case I forgets , please post and remind me to post the live forward testing results.

Only one time frame Dave, M15. Place and trade from that time frame only.

Second timeframe H1 is used as guide / direction finding for the indented direction where price is "thinking of" going.
For a buy enter opposite for sell enter.
- H1<> MN is at level 48 <> 60 with TDI green is going up the odds are that it will go up more.
- M1 <> M30 is at level 36<> 48 with TDI already showing angel going up the odds are it will go up.
You will never get all TDI's to agree on direction, neither will all be between those level's.
- It is all about finding the intended direction of where price will go when M15 TDI cross over on the candle 1.
All I want from each trade entry is that 10 pips.
Am not concern about how many (bar's) / how long (time) / how far (pips) price will move in that direction.

Because when you follow the rules and entry at the beginning of that new candle 1 the odds are stacked in your favour that you will get that 10 pips and fast. Lock in profit that price has given freely and the rest is up to price to give more.
If it goes only as far as BE plus spread > OK try again, one bar and more excellent you have followed your rules and now price is rewarding you.

Tekkies preached too often about Post #647 and now this gibberish post again....

Your safest trades will always be when green crosses red and you enter on candle 1 or 2... odds are in your favor. Why? Because I'm expecting 3-8 candles... which is average...

With bounce trades the odds are lower for your success... but it still works.

When wanting to enter a TDI trade... take a moment first to observe basic 4x things... like:

How close am I to the previous high or lo

Am I in an uptrend or downtrend.. short & long term...

Am I in or close to a consolidation area

Are the previous candles small...

Look at the candles on the last reversal... big, little, what

How does the momentum look right now (12-2, 4-6)

Does Stoch's confirm the TDI signal

Sounds like a lot of stuff but it's basic stuff and only takes a moment to observe it...

Go back and READ and STUDY this Phx62 post #12,507 and his chart I copied here below.

How mnay H1 candles when he made his buy entry? That the 8th candle after the HA colour changed.

Do you see a problem to enter on on the 8th HA candle after the PA above 5EMA?
Can you count the H1 bars/candles within the H4 candle time period when he made his buy entry?

This same simple approach when you want to trade M15 with a view to the H1 and H4 candle periods.

When you have entered where TDI crossed over the first time at the beginning, you can use the that bounce for a second entry.

I don't like to trade the bounce that much.
