DE30 Feb 04 M15 H1 and H4 TDI compare, with H4 candle closed, now you can compare the TDIs of all 3 timeframes, {image} H4 shows a TDI bounce H1 hooked down, M15 hooked up,
DE30 Feb 04 H4 clsoing it less than 4 mins.

the H4 TDI will hook back if this H4 close lower.... price will determine the TDI

De30 Feb 04 new H4 candle period:

with the last H4 closed lower, the TDI responded with hook back.

now we face the Frankfurt Open session in the next one hour, there will be risk.

What is your point Emmanuel?

Correct me if i am wrong. If you compare different time frames the TDI as well as price action will almost never tell you the same story. BigE also said that he doesn´t trade this method on a lower chart than H1 "You will get slaughtered on M1, M5, M15" (I think these were his words).

So fighting about some hypothetical stuff how a trader "could" do that if he wishes to day trade this method is already offtopic. Its not part of the rule, never was.

So whats your problem? Tekkies did not lie, he maybe trades it in a different way than the orginal idea was, but thats all. You do the same, so what?

EUR/GBP H1 TDI - BUY setup (second blue candle).

Now WITHOUT watching at different time frames tell us if you would have entered here by the open of the running H1 candle?

Why are you forcing him to mark entries without looking at the whole picture?

would you ask an artist to paint you an A class portrait whilst obscuring half of your face?

1) I do not trade without a trade plan done for this week.

2) I do not take a trade just by looking at one chart timeframe and without a trade plan for the week and day.

You missed the point because you are not looking at details.

I read every of Tekkies' posts and I see his charts posted. I know he was lying because based on what he wrote and what I see on his charts there are discrepancies.
The problem is not my problem. The problem is when newbies do not have the experience and are not meticulous in their observations, they will never learn how the TDI reacts to the real price. The problem is also the different TDI versions, different coding, different settings and the repainting of history bars.

Why is Tekkies afraid to use that script which I posted. That script read from his MT4 trade summary and will mark on his charts the exact candle date and time where his trade entries were made.

https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...6#post11933516


If Big E got slaughtered trading timeframes below H1 - be that M15, M15 and M30, that is his problem for being too aggressive in his trading the reversal HA candles #1 and #2. He was good at H4 reversal and I can why when I studied the details on his training charts. He knew exactly what type of reversal candles to take and not trade blindly the TDI crosses without picking out the reversal candles.

when I trade intraday, I have my trade plan for the day with me. I look at the Day Open and where the price action with reference to the 10EMA.

trade away from Day Open and away from the 10EMA, simple rule and very visual.

do like Big E did,

When you see a TDI cross that doesn't look good... start checking other timeframes for the trade... look at other templates at different timeframes... do a thorough investigation before entering any trade. If you do this faithfully your win rate will increase dramatically..

Come om Emmanuel find one in the TMS thread. You only use Craig Harris Stochastics Method to support your view point.

Remarkable that Tekkies must prove every chart he post's. Explain in detail why he took that trade, pin point every trade in detail.
When members ask you to do some live manual trading you always have some lame excuses. The same old story since you started to post in this thread

@Tekkies,

you are very confused with that old thread title. Trading Made Simple is the 5-Method and is one of two methods Big E shared in his old thread.

You are not trading TMS 5-Method the way Big E shared. You are here posting charts which do not use the TMS templates with HA candle and 5EMA. You are pushing your own agenda in this thread with your M15 H1 TDI.

in that old thread, Big E started with title "GBPUSD 15 Minute ..."

I'm starting a new thred on Forex Factory. It's under Forums -> Trading Discussion section. The title is: GBP/USD 15 Minute Chart. I didn't know what to name it but there it is...

Hi Everyone, Thank you Red Trader over the years for your help and insights. Needless to say there are a few lively posts on this thred... lol. I've enjoyed every moment.

But when FF Admin changed that title to Craig Harris Stochastics Method for obvious reason at that time.

In that old thread, Big E posted:

His 5-Method which is what we are discussing in this thread.

this thread will only be about the 5 method.

Quoting eelfranz
Divergence, That was just one of many methods we discussed. Folks were getting confused by mixing up rules from different methods so this thread will only be about the 5 method.
Quoting eelfranz
As Promised: Note the 5 method Template is posted just above (Post # 4285). You may want some or all of these indicators. The Synergy APB is for the HA Candles. Bring up any chart... add what you want on it... Then save it into your Templates file... {file} {file} {file} {file} {file} {file}

For those who are new: I went to www.compassfx.com and downloaded their free TDI Indicator and put it into my indicator file. On the Chart: I copied the Synergy Template at www.compassfx.com I then removed everything off the TDI but the green and red... and saved it. The Synergy Template gives you the HA Candles on it. I then removed the two yellow lines above and below PA. I then added my own moving average set to: 5, ema, shift 3, exponential, typical price... and saved...

Introduction to Trading Made System


To learn what Trading Made Simple is, you have to follow the trading journey of the OP eelfranz aka Big E. He started as a newbie in 2008. Know the history and you will learn a lot from the OP and you can then move on and develop your own trading system following how he did his.

try this,

Here is a quick introduction to this Trading Made Simple thread:
Trading Made Simple for beginners : Post#52,707

A short history by pioneer member snarlyjack Post#110

Our late OP eelfranz aka Big E spent 6,000 hours: Post#6 and he evolved as a trader and went on and developed two trading methods.
5-Method and 21/233 Method Post#3018, Post#4104,

After months of postings and answering many frequently asked questions FAQs,
eelfranz made the jump to this new Trading Made Simple thread on 26 April 2011... Post#4432

In Post#1, he explained how he traded the H4 chart timeframe and he also traded the H1 chart during the NY session. This suited his lifestyle being retired and the time zone he lived. Sadly he passed away in Oct 2012.

Two very important posts: Post#261 and Post#647, give a simple summary of what this 5-Method is and the basic forex stuff we check before we look for the TDI setups to trade.

TMS 5-Method Basic Rules: Post#53,841
Always check the #1- Price Action first, then #2- TDI Post#3142
Big E wanted us to build this TMS thread together... Post#4,432

The original indicators and template Post#25
If you are overwhelmed (information overload) by the number of posts and the loads of information and variations shared by other traders here, the best thing to do is to stop reading and go back to the basics what Big E mentioned in his 463 posts in this thread and 861 posts in the CHS thread. First you learn and master the 5-Method first before you start add your own tweaks and make a new system.

Recommendations:
Read all of Big E posts... 861posts in the Craig Harris Stochastics thread and 463 posts in this TMS thread....and make notes on those training charts he posted. Pay attention whenever he mentioned PA and what you see on his training charts.

Learn the basic stuff about forex trading first. A good place to start is www.babypips.com/school

If you want to trade the way Big E described in Post#1, make sure you use his template , the Synergy APB / HA candles and use that TDI Red Green version. These are in Post#25.

Note that the TDI Red Green version repaints all the bars in history so you cannot use this when you do back-testing by scrolling back your charts. The better way is to run this in live market and trade the TMS setups based on what you see without refreshing your charts. When you want to trade with entries on the APB#1 and APB#2 candles, always wait for the price bar/candle to close and use the TDI to confirm the setup.

Enjoy and Have fun during your learn to trade journey.

Just yesterday, he got 'blasted' by Davit...

Quoting Davit
Hi Guys I read all the battles here about TDI and all the drama.As you guys know I dropped it from my charts already and was not interested on it much since 2yrs. I kept it on the chart in 2018 because I thought it might help less experienced traders but now took it out. I think Emmanuel has a point there comes a point in ones trading that you just need to get rid of crunches and walk and run without them.I firmly believe if Big E was still alive and trading he would of done the same. In short reading candles ,patterns,pivots,news events (awareness)...
