{quote} Please brother what is the setting on the 8,3,3 stoch number, i wanted to know if it simply or exponential or linear
In this thread BigE did not say which one.
Stoch is only use to confirm direction.

{quote} Your have already answered your own question with positive results. - My strategy is waiting for the h4 to cross or come as close as possible and taking a cross on the h1 in the same direction if tdi prompts it. - waiting for the H4 to cross or in the last final hour minutes to see if across has occured on the h1 ----------- - But last few trades I have gotten greedy and lost mostly all the pips I have made what part did you not understood from Post...

I guess I have but i just wanted to be clear on what you meant by getting into the trade in the last few minutes of the closing bar which corresponds the cross on the H4? Because normally when you wait until the last few minutes of a H4 bar to close the H1 has already crossed? Simlar thing happens on the H1/M15 timeframe also. I have found entering on a cross in the LAST hour of the h4 as long as H1 agrees and has a cross is more profitable but I would like to understand the way you trade and your system.

Any clarification would be helpful!

Thanks Tekkies

Just finished reading the past 3 weeks posts and it didn't take me many minutes...
Obviously you have not been reading Big E's posts and have not paid attention to details of his posts and training charts and taken notes on your own.
Still struggling to find that TDI version which will work. Its mentioned in Post#1 if you want to trade TMS 5-Method and following the rules of Big E.
Keep It Simple, use the TDI Red Green version in Post#25.

{quote} {quote} {quote} hi, Emmanuel, in the posts above (#78247, #86357, #90676), how do you get the macd (2,13,7) to show the green line? When I tried to replicate tdi using macd, it only showed the green histogram, but no green line. Can you elaborate? Thx for your time! Shuo

Please wait till January 2019 and I will show you how to trade following Post#647 CONSISTENTLY without the TDI. You will not need the MACD(2,13,7)

Keep It Simple: Trade with simple Price Action, following the price swings and use the HA candles in background (shadow).

... The answer was simple... study old charts for set ups... now strip down everything on that chart at that point... trends, angles, S/R levels, News times, Stoch angle within the 20-80 lines..etc. Burn it into your memory... I spent 2 years doing that.... so what does that mean? It takes me 15 seconds to strip a chart down to nothing including the TDI & Stoch's. Taking clean trades is a breeze for me... why? ..

How many charts much be posted to show how and when I enter a trade?
- Some trades are entered 15 min after H1 has begun others have been entered after H1 has crossed over.
- Have posted that when you understand how to use TDI with post#647 you can trade with M15 alone and try to take the trade from M15 up to D1.
- It all depends on the angle (cherry pick).

You already understand how to use H1/H4, now keep on doing what is working for you.

more than 7 years since the OP passed away and people here are still spending too much time looking for the right TDI version that can make them money.

Too much time is being spent on TDI and Stochastics,
Too little time on Price Action and Support/Resistance.
And no time spend on Money Management, Risk Management for entries and exits, When and How to Let Profits Run.
You need to find your WINNING EDGE and the TDI is not in the winning edge equation.

Was wondering when you are going to post again?
Right from the start go you are AGAIN trying to convince member's that TDI is no good.

Will the above be in a new trend Emmanuel since what you purpose has nothing in common with BigE's post One
---
What happened emmanuel? How many times have you posted that indicators are lagging. Now you want to use MACD.
---
Sorry, my mistake only TDI is a lagging indicator. (other indicators are right on time, every time)

Anyway I don't have to hope to make money BigE's TMS is working just fine with TDI and Stoch. Come to think of it why do you need MACD?

WellI think I'll try trading the way you do now and go over to the H1/M15 instead of H1/H4.

You have said on previous posts how you wait a few minutes before a cross on the H1 is made before entering on m15 and sometimes you say that you enter on m15 after cross has occurred on H1 and is in the last few minutes of closing. Im just not sure I get how you enter a trade on the open of a H1 candle and catch that move straight away on the M15.

Look past the attempt at a popcorn fight with emmanuel
-----
Roni the above image show where a trade could have been placed with M15 TDI crossover. Look at the angel of all four indicator's (green) - below 5.
Do you see now how that "that move straight away on the M15." happened,

Will post it again:
The first rule is always to look at the angle of TDI green.
- Any angle between 2 / 4 don't even try to find reason to place a trade - Walk away
- Between 1 - 2 or 4 - 5 Take your time and find reason not to place a trade. Use post#647 and how you understand the market
- Between 12 - 1 or 5 - 6. Place trade very fast and move SL to BE when possible. That said: Does not mean to be reckless you still have to use post#647

Again:
- Cherry pick the crossover.
- Don't trade every crossover that M15 / H1 show.
- Confirm every crossover with Post#647
- Before anything els look at the angle of TDI green on both chart's
- Does both Stoch from both time frames confirm the direction of the intend trade.

Some people just don't understand how easy this system is, and yes, you have to know basic price action and levels to trade it properly. Just think of the support and resistance levels as magnets. Price is always hitting and shooting away from these levels. Taking trades at these levels is one of my favorite things to do. If there is a tdi cross and it is showing a nice big heiken candle at support/resistance. It it most likely a good trade. Also don't forget the trend-line trades. The only time I usually have a bad loss is when I enter the tdi cross and you get a big spike in the other direction. Other than that most of the time it's profitable trades or breakevens. I am right anywhere from 60 to 75 percent of the time.

  • Dec 15, 2018 5:35pm Dec 15, 2018 5:35pm
And I must say, I believe this system is profitable because it keeps emotions out of it more than just using price action and price action only. Heiken candles are a lot easier on the eyes and believe it or not, psychology is part of trading. Don't trade with emotions. Don't let losses bother you. Don't give up. Also another reason I love this system is because it allows for big pip gains. Big E was right about looking at the chart and when you feel the amazement of seeing a 50 to 100 pip gain in a matter of hours or a day. It's a great feeling.

  • #92,594
  • Dec 15, 2018 7:24pm Dec 15, 2018 7:24pm
Also another tip. If you are new at trading this system and not familiar with recognizing correct tdi crosses, try only trading the larger heiken ashi candle crosses at first. Go back and look at the tdi crosses and look at the sizes of the candles. Usually the larger candles are better entries. Caution: Extremely large candles can be costly though. Sometimes it may just be a spike. Just go back in the charts and look at candle sizes and the crosses with them.

Got flamed by a member when I posted that I have a dream to achieve the same results as what BigE has posted. The member posted a "floating man" also mentioning it is impossible to achieve what BigE posted.

Thank you Philstodd, for confirming BigE's post.

First time post on this Forum. I came across this thread about week ago. Since then been reading through. You may lough but I will probably go through ALL of it :-) So far I red 1000 posts only 91599 to go :-)

I was wondering did anything change over this 7 years. Is this method still valid ?

I have noticed main thread contributors [apart the thread creator Big E who Passed away (RIP)] left this forum and changed the status to "no trading"

I tried to read it from the end as well and noticed few others trying to help here and there.

I backtested the system manually myself on 8 pairs over the period of November 2018 on both H1 and H4 charts, but with Brexit and China "talks" I had mixed results.

I started testing it on demo account from today. I just wonder is there anyone out there who still follow the original rules and it is working for him/her ??

If you could share your experience it would be great :-)

Thanks
