{quote} I followed the TDI buy entry signal it gave to me in this example because the TDI Green Angle was good at the time green/red crossed. Because this is one of the entry rules criteria here. So this is only to contradict some of the poor claims that TDI is King, Angle is important, and all that crap... I know there are much more things to check. Not sure if looking at the overall layout of the TDI/Stoch Histogram is one of the rules, at least did not read about it so far here by any of the BigEs posts. Only to look at Price Action, SR areas,...
If anyone really thought about what a TDI actually is and understood it I sincerely doubt they would use it. It's a couple of MA's with an RSI thrown in for good measure and not much else, big deal. I respect Big E, I was around here for a few years when he was alive and not only was he a lovely human being as he tried to help but as I've found out in my nearly 5 years trading, there are some things that cannot be taught, he could not pass on years and years of experience, it's just not possible, you need to live it.

He would have forgotten things that were important that he took for granted, he wouldn't have even given them the slightest of thought and this is where the variations with TMS begin because those little things were so important, much of what I've read and what he taught was discretionary and you can't teach that, it's gut feel and screen time.

This is just another reason this thread should be shut down, the last thing it should be called is Trading Made Simple, it's now a complete mish mash of ideas, ideologies and ego's, a complete and utter mess and just a vocal platform for a handful of people. Good luck!

By looking at your posted chart Iddd, may I suggest you learn how a good oscillator moves together with PA, it may well transform your trading.

EUR/USD already starting to hook over (not even 10 pips). Now i guess following to BigE´s rules (exit if TDI starting to hook over) we would exit the trade here. A lot of risk compared to little/no return. I could move SL to break even on this one, however i just will leave it by that now and keep you updated once that "King" TDI Angle failed for another time. {image}
lol you dont even know how to use the tdi

its like not knowing how to drive a car and then complaining it won't drive/start

Nowhere in here will you find anyone telling you to take all signals. But a cursory check of the higher timeframes would have told you not to go in, see if you can spot the difference between the one that worked and the one that didn't.

M30 gives a signal, nice angle.

Not even a minute to check the other timeframes before deciding which to take and which to leave alone. I am assuming you can't tell if the timeframe you're on is making higher highs/lower lows etc etc because that would have told you also.

Now you know it is in a range. And when you entered, you were at the midway between previous high and low, thus giving you a 1:1 R:R. For a long, you should have switched the TF and get a better entry with a better R:R. I do not know if the TDI would have given you an entry signal where my arrows are, but that is where the PA signals are, and they are PASR.

Lets see how much King this TDI 12-2 Angle will be... {image}
Dean (836) - 1 hr during the day, 4hr at night,,, I trade both directions, However as an experienced trader I look for the BASIC things you should check... no matter the method and those things have been posted several times here... The TDI may signal a good trade set up but what is PA telling you,etc. That can kill a trade entry too. Post 888... look at the last 2 shorts... they are trash so this new one might be too... I'd pass... When TDI goes flat you exit (889)... (895) stay in the trade if it's still positive making pips but if TDI goes flat, hooks over or check mark reversal... get out.... (901) I prefer trading the London Session but If I see a good trade set upon the 1hr chart during the day I'll trade it... (930) When I talk about candle 1 or two it's the first two reversal candles...

the working version is in this post:

Post#193 for the TMS Monitor tool

the "strong buy" is only a recommendation when the basic conditions are met, i.e. the HA candle closed above or below the 5EMA, and the TDI Green slope threshold default setting.

the recommendations are not trade signals.
you must have done your own analysis and make the decision to take a trade.

TMS Monitor Sep 18 - H4

A few good TDI 'signals' but do you have a trade plan done for this week's H4 swing trading?

AUDUSD nice H4 reversal bar and HA is candle#1. Note the Low High Lower Low ... but the D1 is sideways and its 10EMA below PA.

USDJPY H4 Example of Master Candle CONSOLIDATION and we do not trade when PA is in CONSOLIDATAION (Post#647).

Wait and trade the breakout. When there is PA with price momentum , the TDI will show the momentum.

Ok Dudes & Dudettes....

What's the name of this thread ? Ham & green eggs...ummm... Cat climb a tree... hummm... what, what what.... !

Possibly: Trading Made Simple.... Well we know it's for Traders...
Made Simple... hummm... and it's made simple so most anyone can understand it and it has very simple rules.

I think your biggest problems are understanding BASIC FOREX ISSUES.... like am I in Consolidation, how close is the recent Sup/Res levels, Is PA candles small and undecided which way to go.., was it a strong reversal last time or only 1 or two candles... things like this which has nothing to do with our method. Those things are Basic Things every trader has to learn before trading a new method. So when you failed to make a profit because you don't know those things ahead of time... well, it must be a bad method... Not...

So I want those who consider themselves having more than 1-3 years experience to point out those important Basics using a chart which is marked up and why those things are important to consider before entering a trade. Just discuss a few things per post... that way you have time to think about what you want to discuss and find a chart for examples... Then keep posting other charts...

It will re-inforce it for you and help teach everyone newer on the thread...

You guys/gals are making some great trades with lots of success... and I'm proud of you all...

Thanks.... Big E

GBPJPY H4 Example of divergence, but with overall strong GBP in all its pairs, better to skip this one.

In this example, we see divergence in both the TDI and Stochastics as the PA show higher high tops.

Stimuls,

When I see green cross red it's a set up... but before taking the trade I look at PA, Hi/Lo, Res/Sup, Stoch's, etc, etc BASIC Forex things you need to check on any method or possible entry.. If it all looks good, I jump in... only takes 30 sec. to look at it all when your experienced. It's quick...

At night when I enter a 4hr trade I go to bed and don't monitor the trade until the next 4hr candle appears. If it still looks good I let it continue and go back to sleep. If not I exit the trade and go back to sleep... I close all my trades at 6am... just my style.Then I only look at the 1 hr. chart during the day for set ups and trades... my style... That's what fits me...

Trade it the way you feel safest on Demo. When you find what fits you... stick to it and build confidence... maybe tweeking it here or there to fit your style... make it yours...

It was designed to be simple... Keep it simple and don't complicate it.

Really really sorry but I have to ask this to confirm for good. I woke up this morning (I am in Aus) and jsut had a quick look through my charts to look for setups and pretty much train my brain to get familiar with what it is I am looking for. It is 10am here and the Sydney and Tokyo sessions are open so I know its the wrong time of day. But lets forget that for a minute and pretend it was the London session and time to trade. In this chart I see what looks to me an excellent setup.Tdi has crossed. TDI and stochs at the right angle. last upward...
This looks like trading range price action, and you are late in the bull trend. Two good reasons to think about it before you rush in. No pop in the price.

It is of no use to re-post BigE's post's. Certain member's has claimed the right to disregard BigE post's, trying to change this thread to their way of trading.
Have stopped myself from doing what you did. New and old traders only need BigE full. pdf - study the theory, chart's. Find answers to questions with google search.
Since I chucked out the garbage that this thread has spawned over the years the results is everyday like image below.
The most important factor is the angle of green and to enter at the beginning of the new bar. Those two point's are missing then any trade entered becomes a 10 fold increase risk trade. Member's have to understand all aspects of Post#647, S/R level's included.

The concept that indicator are lagging are made by trader's that need to blame others but themself.
