{quote} But wouldn't supply and demand areas have to be fresh (not previously touched), in order to be considered valid?
No! The opposite.

We do not have the proof of such an area until it has shown a reaction there.

For me, the fresher it is, the more accurate it is, although it works on basically all time scales.

If you think about it, it is common sense. Order gets placed, price reacts but full order was not filled. That same buyer/seller, than manipulates the price back to limit where another chunk, or the rest of the order gets filled.

Often, what goes up fast, also comes back down fast and vica versa, that is the manipulation. A buyer needs to get people selling and the big boys can control this easily;

The whole argument about PA vs indicators... well, i don't think there even is one.

I don't know anyone who makes money using indicators. In fact everyone that i know who are successful traders use S/D. Imo, it is the ONLY way to make money.

Let's face it, you have to align yourself to what the market is telling you. You can only do that in real time, taking trades at the prior reversal points. Indicators lag these points and will just cost you money over and over again.

If you feel you must use indicators, then they should be a confirmation of your entry based on PA, but never be the reason for entry.

I kind of think that you're missing the point somewhat.

There are incredibly fine lines as to the difference between making money and losing money when trading.

My entries usually go straight into profit. By the time that you have your crossover or whatever indicator to give you an entry, i'm already in profit with my stoploss at BE.

Your risk therefore even with stops at initial place (below last LH/HL) will be multiples of mine.

That then means that if we both stayed in a trade until the same point of exit, i can be 5 or 6 times my initial risk to your double. That means i can take far bigger positions for the same risk in monetary terms.

Now add in your losers and you will see why one system works and one won't...

Handy are you starting to understand Trading Made Simple.
TDI cross over only show you there exist a possible setup of an entry. You as the trade must use post#647 to determine the valediction of the entry.
post#647 is price action (in simple word's)
- Check Support / Resistance level
How many trader's use S/R to open / close trade's, place stop loss and take profit
- Check Long Term Trend
- Check Short Term Trend
How many use "trade in the direction of the trend"
- Check 5EMA
Here you can use 10, 34, 50, 100, 200 MA - your choice
- Check Bar
- Check Wick
Mix them and you get HH HL LH LL, candle pattern's, 123 method, inside bar, outside bar, pin bar
- Check Angle
- Check TDI level
- Check Stoch
This belong to TMS

You don't know how to use post#647 TDI crossover will take you to margin call very fast. Sure you will be lucky (say 52%) of the time. It is that 48% that will kill the account fast.

TDI is a lagging indicator. Always one bar behind price. Green goes flat, hook over, check mark is most of the time to early. You have to understand post#647. You don't, you are going to get burned real fast.

Would love to call you out, like those old western gunslinger. Pistol TDI-647 against Pistol 123-method. Normally the man that could draw the fastest and shoot accurate walked away alive.

Unfortunately you don't post a chart that BigE or I use. To test what you say I need a chart (forex) with where you have placed's trade's in the past.
Better a chart where an order has been placed where the direction of the trend is unkown.

{quote} Is Catalin not a female name?
Nope, it isn't. and I know the pronunciation in English might seem like a girly name. But do not worry, you are not the first one to do that mistake, and probably not the last, either. Guido was the first, he helped me with TMS and also tried hitting on me, thinking I was a girl. Funny moments, and we have been friends ever since.

{quote} Usernames intrigue me as I believe they tell of a person's personality and character so, after some research, I find that "Catalin" is the name for males in Romania ( I discounted the Basque name for "Catherine") and Eros is the God of Love so, putting these together I can only assume you are The Playboy of Romania!

Well that is why I post Trading Made Simple. Not to convince members that this method is wrong and the real profit's are with methode XYZ.
Why are you posting in TMS. To study / learn from BigE's post or to change post#1?

Find BlackStone Futures in Trade Explorers Broker and I will put one up. At the same time you also put a Trade Explorer up with the method you use.

I don't go to other thread's and tell member's in that tread that the method in use is wrong. The OP will kick my butt.

Would Cable allow me to post TMS chart's and tell every member that TMS is the only way to go in his Plan the Trade thread or any OP for that matter.
