I have been following this threadhis becomes disconcerting as the shape is different enough to have altered my trading decisions. Has anyone else experienced this and how did you overcome the problem. Thanks in advance
Hi Splurge.
Intraday TMS is very heavy.. H4 and up works easiest..

And there we are with the "Problem" --Problem?? Problem.. I can t see one!

If you give too much weight on ANY indicator, you do something wrong.

PA is king.
In the beginning of this large thread youŽll find a Checklist by Big E.., Emmanuel reposted 3 hours ago.
The TDI is only one point on the list.
By tghe way -- the picture the TDI shows before and after a new bot isn t that much different.
We look on the TDi at candle open..
ThereŽs a realtime TDI posted in this thread. when you click in the right corner on the paperclip.

Hope that helped.
Guido

I have been following this thread for some time and am now incorporating it into my trading style however I have come across a worrying deviation in the accuracy of the TDI indicator between the data received by my broker (GKFX) and I wonder if this is experienced by others who follow this indicator. Specifically I follow the 1 hour and 4 hour charts all day with 2 computers running the same swaps. The 1st computer runs my original system including the TDI indicator and the 2nd running the TDI setup complete with HA bars. As expected they show identical...
Now you discovered why many people here could not trade like Big E and did not achieve that 70% to 80% win rate he claimed.

His realtime trades are very different from those he posted as training charts.

All because of so many different versions of the TDI indicators coded by different people and posted all over the place.

{quote} Hi, You have been around for long time back. Let me catch up reading your old posts and see what I can do to get you back to speed. Post your charts and ask any questions you have. Stick to H4 and D1, you should do well. I will try find time and reply your in this thread. Trade Well.

Thanks, I look forward to helping and engaging all the great traders in this forum. I want to thank you for all your support for the last 5 years plus. Good luck trading today. I have a great setup on GJ on the daily charts for a long with a pending order. Lots of confluences ( 200 MA, 50% FIB and previous low ). I will take a picture when I get home later and post it.....

One last thing i want to say, " i only trade with overall trend from the weekly and daily, then either trade on the daily if it looks good with some confluences ( like trend lines, support or resistance, 200 ema or fibs ) and mostly the 4hr " good luck

Thanks for the reply Guido.

I use TDI in conjunction with a number of other indicators and it works well however I am not quite sure I follow your comments. I only trade on end of bar information that way I can only check my trades effectively after the event as well. I have attached two screenshots one taken of EURJPY 1HR TDI plus Stoch and AUDJPY 4HR TDI plus Stoch and the other after the reboot of my terminal. You can see quite clearly that both (1HR and 4HR) have marked differences. This is what I dont understand as the Stoch is not changed but the TDI is. I presume this is to do with how TDI calculates itself.

{quote} Do No trade when price is in CONSOLIDATION says Post#647. clearly seen with the Master Candle[3] even before the last H4 candle closed. The TDI Green went out of the VB and re-enters, this often indicates consolidation and the MC[3] is the PA sign. All this happens at the BRN 1.3200, now is he time to be patient and wait for the breakout of the consolidation but it will need some event to move this again. {image}
Rather than ask for all your settings, would you please post this template and indicators?

both your charts (upper and lower ) are correct.
upper charts - seen in realtime, updates only after price bar closed.
lower charts - after charts were refreshed... as i Big E training charts.

it works the way the TDI version was first coded back in 2007. Later versions do not have this 'repainting' issue.

is this 'repainting' issue a problem? NO.

Develop your trading system, write your own rules according to what you see.

If you use PSAR as your leading indicator when you trade, you will solve the problem.

Hello! i was wondering if you do coding. I have a great TDI alert from 5 years ago, but want to tweak it for better results. My first 5 trades all winners, but it can better with a couple of tweaks. Please advise, carlen68. Good Luck Trading.

I don't know and it does not matter to me. I only get to hear from those who were close to him back in 2008 ~ 2010 and knew him well.
All I know abut myself is that after years of trading I could not trade like him because he was an aggressive trader while I am the conservative type of trader.
I use money management strategy as my advantage when I develop my trading system.

Hi, Emmanuel. I feel in the same way about the agressive style trade from Big E. I Think that he got a lot of confidence in TDI indicator and the results are different between the brokers (Higher spreads, etc). But it's innegable he's one of the best contributors here

Hi,

I don't spend time in coding indicators these days. Rather spend my time to help other traders in the trade management issues and coding their order management.
But, I can take a look at your TDI alert and see what can be done with the alert you want.

I use the TMS Monitor ofr the alerts and that work well for my TMS trading.

Trade Well.

Good trades,

USD started to lose its steam mid week last week and the NFP candle last Friday was a first sign. A sideways market type or correction is good before the next move.

Now we watch if the correction would turn out to be the reversal some are waiting for.

GBPUSD heading higher, I have target region 1.3285 and 1.3350 where I would be looking for price action to see if the current "mini-bull run" will end.
Do No predict the market and where price would to go. Simply trade what we see and be to be prepared when we manage trades.
