{quote} BTW, your weekly pivot indicator which you use is correct. That Davit Pivot is wrong. Like this EURUSD example below, last week Pivot S38 is this week S61... coincidence {image} Right now looks like EU bounce from S61, LOL.
You my friend just made a glaring admission that you have no understanding of pivots.

They're weekly fib pivots, last week's pivots will be different from current week, and next will be different from this week.

Time for you to google "how are pivots calculated" my friend.

Hi TMS-ers, I am stuck with a little programming issue: Big-E always said that a crossing green-red should be like the arm of a clock pointing between 12 and 2 or between 4 and 6. My question is: How would I measure that angle in a program? Because the angle depends on the horizontal scale, and fixed numbers, like "(green - red) > 5", are not consistent for multiple timeframes. So if anybody has suggestions on how to measure the angle of "green crossing red" I would really like to hear. {image} Cheers...

its just visual, no need to trigonometry calculation angle... tangent,sine,cosine, etc.

look at the real price bar and the HA candle body and wick.

some don't like the HA candle, so they only look at the price bar OHLC.

the price bar will show the momentum, that's the slope of the TDI Green.

the difference will what you use - Close or Typical.

I learn pivots way back in 1980s and it has no changed since.

this is exactly what I have been saying all along.

that Davit Pivots draw this week's pivot into last week's price and also into the previous week' price and all the way as far back as the chart can show, maybe back 10 years history.

I just said your version of drawing the historical pivots is the correct version.

Do you have a reading comprehension problem?

Dude, it's an indicator setting. You can plot current weekly lines across the screen, to the right only, historical, etc. Its all personal preference.

It really doesn't matter as you're working off current week anyways.

Current Week

So obviously you never really took the time to understand Davits thread at all.

But found a lot of time to bash him.

I know there is setting in some of the Pivot indicator posted in FF.

Trust me I know Davit for years going back to 2012 when we were in the LE1 M15 thread.
He was the newbie in that thread in 2012. We have some good exchange back then including in the skype group.

I don't waste time bashing him because there is nothing good that anyone need to bash.
I read his posts but he banned me from posting in his thread. I ask simple honest question that he show his trade entries using a script I shared in his thread.
All I asked was simple, show the trade entries on his chart so members can see exactly where he made his trades and not simply use those MT4 trade levels on M15, M30 chart when price goes back to his trades. This way we all miss seeing those long periods of drawdown when the market went against his trades which happens very often.

I can see what he is trying to do in his current thread. I followed his two other thread since 2012 till now. Three different 'systems' in short 5 years, say a lot about a trader in FF. I read what he writes and I know the mental profile.

Stay tuned ....

I never claim to be professional trader. Just an ordinary person trading with his retirement money.
You supposed something which is again not true.

I am here to show people how hard it is to trade retail forex and make real money. If this to you is 'yammering' so be it. I cam to FF in 2010 to do my sudy on traders with different profiles. Big E was one I initially picked because of his profile being retired and his has a certain temperament. I have a few other members in my study which I will be writing a book. Davit is another one I picked because he started as a newbie in the LEI M15 TMS thread. He obviously has a lot of time reading a lot of different stuff but how he put all those things is quite interesting and I saw a trend developing so I study him for 4 years.

You on the other hand talk a lot about prop trading, how prop traders trade, etc.
We all read online about all kinds of things about prop traders, etc.

Question is, how do you trade? Are you making enough money? How do you trade now until the day you really achieve your aspiration to become a professional trader.

You spend more time defending someone else thread but show very little your own trading.

Trust me, the day you become a professional trader, all these that you read in public forums will be garbage.

{quote} I have BE them, let them run. Wish give me a surprise to get more profit. Thanks, Emma.

when you BE the basket of 2 positions, you will have 1 winner and 1 loser, right?

this is not the best way when you have 2 positions/basket.

remember the average positions per basket is 3.5.
the statistics are here in this thread.

with 2 positions in one basket, you target your Minimum Take Profit. This way you will have 2 winners when the Minimum Take profit get locked in profits form you.

I think you missed the profits for this one.

did you re-open a new basket?

My trading has evolved to more of a swing trade strategy. I followed TMS for sometime but forgo it after understanding Davits thread. It all came together for me after following Trader Dante’s (aka The Wizard https://www.forexfactory.com/the_wizard) swing trade strategy.

And i also am friends with a couple of prop traders who provide valuable insight as well.

I am sure you want to reach your goal to become a professional quicker.
You already wasted some time in FF.
Tom Dante has a reputation build over the years.

Why do you want to spend your time following rookie traders here in FF who only make written claims but no professional levels trading education? Spend your time and learn from professional traders and stop wasting time in FF massaging someone else ego.

{quote} Very good, when you have found your way with somethings and they work for you, you have then developed your own trading system and you will make it your own WINNING SYSTEM that Fits You. Big E did his own and shared it here with us. I did mine using his 5-METHOD as the core trading methodology and build my own system with Money Management strategy and Mental Strategies. These work for me and that is why I share with others here.

{quote} Touche my freind, stop wasting time promoting yourself for others to massage your own fragile ego.

Well, you mistaken that I am promoting myself. I have nothing to sell here. Showing some members my trading account in FX Blue, they know what my winners and losses are. Making money consistently over long periods of time requires a lot of work and also some diversification in investing and trading alike.

I have been here for many years and tried to show people how difficult it is to trade retail forex and make money like what Big E did. Many have doubt that he made money because he did not post any TE or trade statements and yet many believed him.

I am an old fox or some call me an old dog. But this old dog have many old tricks in investment and trading. And you can't teach an old dog new tricks no matter how often people rub my ego.

Hello emmanuel7788, I have some questions about TMS. I hope you can help me.

What's the difference between TDI Real Time and the "original" I have to use both?
Where I can download the template where I can see multiTF
In many old post some people ask if they need to refresh the TDI, what's that means?

I was learning about Forex since april and I learned about techical analysis. A month ago I "discovered" the TDI and I started to read the thread and watching some videos and is really interesting. First, on youtube I saw videos about TDI with Dean Malone (I know are different methods) and then I found this thread.

You still using in the same way the TDI like Eelfranz or do you modify something?


*Sorry for my english*

And thanks!!

This thread has been hijacked. It's useless now.
Hijacked by someone who can't trade and living off by conducting workshops for Van Tharp Institute.

At first I thought he is an old gentleman who spends his retirement life generously sharing his knowledge about forex. However some veteran traders like griffinssoul, realjumper, lastingwell etc saw through his real intentions and identified him as someone with commercial interest.

His duty here is to regularly bumping TMS thread and promoting Van Tharp from time to time. He chose this thread because newbies are attracted to the name Trading Made Simple. Even I was.

He has directly or indirectly attacked every veteran trader here, saying there trading methods don't work.

He is not alone and has a gang of members from his group to support him. He (and his gang) has the most number of additional usernames here in FF, that he uses to thank himself, ask questions from himself, praise himself, etc. You can find many of them in davit's ignore list. What they do is going to davit's thread and piss him off because they know they end up in his ignore list.

He has already proved he cannot trade by blowing a 10K live account.

I wonder why FF admins haven't still marked this guy as a Commercial Member.

I think veteran traders should visit this thread from time to time and warn newbies to beware of this guy.
