{quote} Kain. How come? Did you enlarge the chart, draw a trend lines, added breakeven + spead or trailer stop to all those enters? You would have found that all of them are winners. May I ask where did you learn about the TDI indicator? {quote} {image}

no need to enlarge that chart.

Just stripped all that but leave the HA candles and the 5EMA Typical price Shift+3.

Must read Post#115 and then apply Post#647.

Then don't judge people on assumption you make. (Ever met the man, been to his place of trading, see him trade.............)
Why is it that every time you post here it is negative Div? Is it because the OP can't kick your butt to the ignore bin?

{quote} tbh, seeing that chart and the HA candles, gave someone an idea in 2017 when we were discussing system development and dropping the TDI. we developed a money management strategy for a new TMS MEME model. we use the HA candle colour change as objects to trigger the expert advisor to initiate the buy and sell phase signals. last year live trading forward test is positive.
I think using the HA colour change on a Daily Candle setup is NOT allowing a MEME system enough room to be able to accumulate pips. You would have to use a very low ADR gap and risk a major account draw down in a big move. Its just too sensitive for me.

You are right about that.

The volatility is an important factor to consider into the trade plan.

If you don't give advice:
- why do you post so many chart's with all those funny remark's.
- why do you post those blue word's every 10 post's.
- why do you bark up my tree every time I post.

in public forums we are free to comment on what other posts. we do so within the code of conduct of FF.

my posts are not trading advice.
I share things like ideas, experience, information, resources, etc.

these blue words are not advice, it is observation and my own experience trading Synergy and TMS for many years. I spent more time on money management, risk management, mental strategies, etc. far less time on indicators.

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.

I find some of your posts and response to posts quite humorous therefore make comments.

I like to provoke people to think rather than spoon feed them. I like people to have an open mind and not just out of the box but on top of the box.
I love to see people using their creativity and to tap their hidden talent.

{quote} That indicator is used for testing only. Instead of subjective interpretation of 12- 2 and 4-6 clock angle, I use the TDI Green value and calculate the angle in degrees. For a good angle, between 60° and 90° for buy PA and between 270° and 300° for sell PA filter. This morning we have aH1 master Candle breakout and the PA filter was 63%. {image} The EP, SL, TP lines are drawn manually using scripts which also calculate the ATR.
Please is it possible to use HA and the TDI indicator on my android phone? If yes pls where can I get it downloaded. Thanks to all for your assistance in helping others. Big E you're appreciated.

{quote} Me, seven years? Started early 2015. Only since last year June / July I started to understand TMS enough to use two chart's M15 / H1. Since then not looked back. Sure I still put dent's in the account, so what. Apparently in this thread it is a crime not to be constant profitable and if you are then you are lying. ---- Are you profitable? Yes. Proof it! OK. That is a fake you are lying. You read those post's.

several not seven.

Am I profitable with tms?

profitability is a strong claim around here so I will just say that if I trade tms a certain way [and wait to see if i get a pullback first which enables a 1:2 rr my equity curve seems to rise. [Although I stopped this conservative trading approach and pushed myself to learn more as i was not getting much trades in per week]

only needed a 40% win rate to stay ahead trading like that.
but i found myself sitting on my hands far too much waiting for the setup and praying for the pullback..

DE30 Jan 25 update_2

Your exit strategy and how you manage your trades will determine your profit and loss.

In this example, if we had move our initial SL to 0.5R, that trade would have been stopped out with 0.5R loss.

But, if we manage our exit SL using R-Multiple move, we would have by now moved our SL to 2R and protected 2R and R:R 1:2.
Or we exited at 3R and a R:R 1:3 trade.

<>only needed a 40% win rate to stay ahead trading<>

which chart timeframe do you trade?

which currency pairs?

are you trading with single entry per trade setup?

do you know what the system Expectancy for a win rate of 40% to make consistent profits to achieve your financial goal?

in case you do not know, the OP of this thread is Big E and he passed away in 2012.

the HeikenAshi candle is not available on mobile platform.

the TDI can be replicated on your mobile using the RSI.

none of which you mentioned. You are being too emotional and sensitive and obviously very hurt.

it all started when you mixed up the words divergence and Divergence mentioned in Big E's posts.

Google search is very dangerous when you do not read in-depth and jump to conclusion too quickly.
