{quote} You should really stop focusing so much on the TDI and its magic clock angle. Honestly. Itīs not hard to post a screenshot of some trade where TDI worked in a way it "should". Better try to show how you avoid picking the other 8 out of 10 entries where exactly the same setup would have led to a losing trade instead. I know you going to come up now with all the basic 4x stuff and post 64.. or what ever, talking about first spotting the right "trending" direction, market condition, important S/R zones and so on before the TDI indicator prophecy...
Now what method / system would you recommend Iddd?
------------------
About the rest of the post. Would it not be a case of sour grape's? Can remember how you just not could understood a simple TDI crossover with good angle.

{quote} BP Nothing has changed. Alle of BigE's postes IN THIS THREAD are still valid. The best advice I can give you is to download BigE full.pdf and only study what BigE has posted. Is M15H1 the way how BigE traded TMS? I don't know. All that I did was to remove 5EMA and HA/APB, because I don't need them. I am using: - the indicator from Post#25 - the rules from Post#647 That is it. Took almost four years to learn to trade almost like BigE. I sincerely hope my chart's might be an indication of how he used TMS with TDI. There are still mistakes...

hiya @Tekkies

Thanks!

Q1) Where is the download link of BigE full.pdf ?
Q2) What words abbreviation is ABP in your terms?
Q3) Is entry confirmation is closing actual candle or HA candle in the curve of 5EMA( without touching the curve)?

If I can find the full version of the strategy setup, I'll try to test and find clues about this TMS-5 maze how works in the best way?

Tnx

Have you read the User Guide?
Please do that. (Bottom of web-page)
Why? Sooner or later members will stop responding to your posts because it might appear that you want them to help you al the time, doing nothing yourself. (ea spoonfeeding)
Q1. Download link (Top right paper clip)
Q2. Use the search function with the words ABP. (Top right)
Q3. Ask that question when you have read all of BigE's post.
Why?
Because it is a left over from a previous method.
Q4. full version of the strategy setup
- Have you read post#1?
- How to use the setup? Study BigE's post's
-------
You only have to read the first +- 2500 post's (up to BigE's last post plus 100 extra.) The remaining post's 94 000 are like this one and like yours. The same questions asked and answered many times over.
Sorry make it 64 000 post. 20 000 post's belong to Emmanuel where he tried to mislead members which lead to members ask in 10 000 post for him to explain himself. (like you did)
-------------------
BP
Trading Made Simple has a misleading title. The rules are simple, even I can follow them. What I don't find easy is to understand them rules
The method is going to bite you if you think that every TDI crossover is a profitably crossover. It is not.
You need to study, you need live chart time because TDI repaint some crossover when chart are refreshed / back testing.
Can promise you this: Nothing is simple unless you work to make it easy.

Good morning Tekkies, its 5am here and I am about to go for my early morning run to the beach facing the South Pacific Ocean and enjoy some fresh air.

Your Post 95,596 again. Are you hijacking this thread to promote your method?

Of course, we all can see that TDI Green cross Red works great and we get lucky when the Open price gap down from its last Close price. It is bar(0) and bar(1)
So studying your famous Post 95 596, we all shall start looking for price gaps to trade the TDI cross. DE30 is very good in making price gaps, no wonder you can only trade this instrument. You should trade the stock markets because stock market closes every day and re-open the next morning. Lots of gaps for TDI angles to trade.

Your post on angle used by Raghee Horner really made our day.

Hi BP,

I know you asked Tekkies but I'll try to help you here.

A1) See this Post# 95,413 .. INTRODUCTION TO TRADING MADE SIMPLE

A2) There is no ABP. Must be typo error.
APB= Average Price Bar created by Dean Malone who is also the creator of the original Traders Dynamics Index aka TDI.
This APB is different from the original HeikenAshi HA. When Big E wrote HA candles, he actually uses the APB he subscribed to CompassFX.

A3) There are two different types of Entry - conservative entry and aggressive entry using the 5EMA, Typical Price , Shift+3.

If you are looking for a full version of TMS 5-Method, start with the above links in A1) above.

Big E left behind a 10,000 pieces puzzle for all of us to put together.
Every time I re-read his posts to find answer for members' questions, I discover a new piece of puzzle. This make me happy every day and that's my reward in helping others ... happiness.

Hi BP

I love your enthusiasm in wanting to learn to trade and to trade TMS. I do not know you and your trading experience. Perhaps, if you can tell me something about yourself -
- how many years you have been trading the markets
- which markets you have been trading
- your financial goals for trading retail spot forex
- what is your trading capital allocated to trade retail spot forex

I will answer your question later when I get back home after my morning run.

Hey Tekkies

Thanks for laughs yesterday with this clock angle post. You really did make our day.

Raghee Horner did not use any version of the TDI. She trade her 34EMA Wave system. She uses the clock face 12 o'clock 3 o'clock and 6 o'clock on her price chart to see the price action, trend and her 34EMA Wave.

Hey BlondePea..

Now answer to your Q1.

Q1) But once you mentioned something about TDI. Once you mentioned:
'according to our Keep It Simple guru of TDI Green cross Red, you must look at Green cross Red angle 12-2 and 4-6. Guru believes 1 is better than 2, and 5 is better than 4. Between 2 and 4, no trade. Guru forgot that the OP once said 5:45 is very good.'
Then again you mentioned:
'NO. When the creator of the TDI released his latest version Pro TDI, all that clock 12-2 and 4-6 became nonsense for TMS traders. '
May I ask if you want to advise, why not mentioning the TDI-pro existence and whether it's used in this strategy and what rules will apply to that in the first stage? I really expect to give a final answer from a person like you. If you want us to know how much it was hard for BigE or you to bring strategy up to this stage, I'm trading FX and I know the pain and headaches that FX causes. I just want the final version of strategy with all modifications and version improvements that happened?

A1) Many of the TMS traders from 2010 subscribed to CompassFX learning that Big E was a subscriber then. As subscribers, we all have the latest version of the TDI whenever Dean Malone updated one. There are lots of videos on the TDI provided by Big E and with the newer version of the TDI, those clock angle nenevr mentioned in any of those tutorial videos.
Then came what became the latest and last version of the TDI - name Synergy Pro TDI. This Pro-TDI version is a subscription based paid version with lots of newer features and with its newer enhanced features it makes the 12-2 and 4-6 clock angle nonsense. Trading by following a mechanical system like the Pro-TDI became a lot simpler and easier. But there is no guaranteed results. It is hardwork on the part of the traders.
With newer TDI versions came along other systems like DOTS. This got people in to trouble posting about DOTS.

We must not post and discuss commercial systems in this thread. If you want to discuss commercial systems, you can start a new thread in the Commercial Content forum.

EURGBP Week 21 may 20 *** LIVE trading *** This is TMS MEME EvolutionIX. Here is my basket with first open position and two pending stop and limit orders. Note: I have my Stop Loss 3.0 ADR which is between the previous two weeks lows. I will trail this using the average entry price of the open basket of trades. The ADR-100 days is about between 58 and 65 pips depends on your broker, I use 0.25ADR for the distance between every order. (Trade Order Distance) The historical win rate is between 60 and 65%, average 63% for past 36 months. Will update...

End of LIVE Trading EURGBP Week 21 to 22.

I will close this latest basket and take small losses and keep the big profit for this month and close the trading month MAY.

Reason: Look at the small D1 APB/HA candles and how close the PA is getting close to its 5EMA..... PA is flat, that is what Big E used to say.

Can't you two start your own topic and make each other's life miserable in that specific topic? When does this stop? I cannot understand that two adult men continue to make life miserable for each other for years now. Something is really wrong with you. This topic would become a lot more interesting without the eternal struggle between the two of you. If only one of you starts not responding immediately to something the other has written ...... That would make a lot of difference!

I don't think they feel miserable, actually my impression is that they likes these discussions because both of them starts it. Maybe because trading can be boring especially when the market is slow. It's easy to avoid: If Tekkies posts starts with emmanuel and emmanuel posts starts with Tekkies you just skip those posts (the TDI discussion started to get boring for many thousand messages ago )

How many times must a method be explained? Would say post#1 and about +- 200 posts more by the OP, clarify some minor detail.
After that it becomes repetitive.

Shit, that means I must stop posting M15H1.
I think my time is up here anyway. Got what I wanted and the credit goes all to BigE and his simple way of explaining how to use TDI with his posting.

Took four years and many self doubting that TMS is not what the title say it is. Simply yes, any trader can place a trade on a crossover. Not many understand the underlying reason why that crossover happened.

Until you don't know the reason for that crossover you are going to suffer a lot of pain.
It is for sure not easy.
