@Tekkies

I already spent more than 10,000 trading hours and forward testing in live markets with different TDI versions and Fozzy-RSI.

I know on my chart which TDI is painting in realtime and which TDI paints at the Close of the bar, I also know how many bars both TDIs repaints its history.

You can also do the same and place both your TDI version in the same sub-window and compare them in the same chart.

Another way is to do a realtime dump of your data window to a csv files and analyse the TDI data.

Hi Hikaru

Found her at a friends house 2 streets away. She obviously learned and knew that I will be away seeing me load my luggage in my garage in the morning. She usually stay over at the friend's house whenever I can't take her on flights. She is happy there with 2 of her own grown kids. The rest are around the same neighbourhood and she usually visit others and return on her own and follow me on my grocery run.

BTW, you achieved good trading results in May and in a short time trading with MEME.

Now do your weekend homework and prepare for June.

Tekkies trading against the overall trend is fine on M15/H1 in your opinion? See this GU example. Price Action is below the EMA 200, you donīt care about that right? {image} And if you take TDI setups for entries on M15/H1, there are quiet a lot possible entries on a daily base. (mentioned this many times before). How do you manage not overtrading especially if you suffer a losing strike period? You must have some fixed targets at least on a weekly or monthly base? For e.g if 100 Pips profit / Week you stop. If 100 Pips Minus, what then?...

200EMA ... in the other TMS threads - M15 and H1, we use the same 200EMA.

Big E used them too. Post#142
In fact, he had several different templates which he checks EVERYTHING when he had doubts about the TDI. He tried Raghee Horner's 34EMA but he prefer the 50EMA. He also has his 21/233EMAs. Lots of moving averages over the 4 years.

In that thread, Tekkies made her suggestions to the OP rules but she chickened out after 2 months. We can only guess what happened.

Also, she took part in a broker's competition in 2017 flapping her lips representing TMS using Green cross Red. She lasted only 2 rounds of the 10 rounds competition.

Hereīs a quote by the OP from the Craig Harris Thread. {quote} Has this ever been a criteria for trading TMS or is it something which is up to the trader to decide like most of the other rules here?

that is Craig Harris Natural Flow Forex NFF system lots of videos back then in 2008 and 2009.
it is swing high swing low trading on M15.

it worked trading GBPUSD M15 when London session opens and till NY Open. You only trade for 2 to 4 hours before the London / New York session overlap.

what if the Asian channel is vary narrow say less than 0.25ADR pips and you want to trade TMS?
can we trade the breakout?

How many good trades do we need each week with 60:40 win rate and RR1.5?

You need to be very careful with 'fakey' signals one hour before Frankfurt Open and till Tokyo close hour. Craig has his solution when he got caught in 'fakey' trades.

Thanks for the advice. I only have time to trade the EU session, preferable only for a few hours before NY opens for any trades on the M15.

I happened to stumble over this quote by BigE in the Craig Harris thread. (Lots of good read there btw). So i wondered if evaluating the price range for the asian session (my sleeping time) is something BigE did trading the TMS method for M15.

So if there is no pip range movement of 40 Pips for the asian session in conclusion i should skip trading M15 for that market for the day at all.

Basically what i would like to know is a simple trading plan for M15 or even H1 which is tested and proven to work with TDI over the years and still works.

I canīt find any thread here around the TDI covering the real important questions. They all assume somehow to already have a deep understanding about the "basics" and how to make sure i am in the right kind of market condition BEFORE i check anything on the indicator side.

What does it helps if TDI gives me a signal but i am not able to clarify all that stuff?

I do, thats why these are on my charts!

Where they are on your charts? You are not even using HA, 5EMA, TDI, Stoch on your charts you post here...

Why not post 4 weeks of live trades with the #1 best 5 ma tdi.tpl, based on only BigE rules for M15/H1.

If you cannot do that, post 4 weeks of live trades on your customized TMS strategy. Would be fine too.

This would help more instead of single picked winning trade examples.

Otherwise you should not tell me why that sell order wasnīt a good idea.

The GBP/USD trade example posted was to show you how a good looking TDI angle at time of the green/red cross doesnīt say anything about the momentum, neither itīs a 80% win chance for such setup condition to play with your favour.

Now if you want to say stochastic isnīt on my chart, yes it was temp. off. However stochastic confirmed TDI direction in this example.

So what else i did wrong here? Tell me master...

There was no uptrend on GU at time of my sell entry. maybe a few bullish h1 candles that’s all, if you call this an uptrend, well okay...

the trades you post here continually show entries you take against a higher timeframes trend.

You act like here you found any kind of edge with your completely mixed up M15/H1 charts nothing to do with the originals OPs strategy with no little proof of success.

i can also setup some charts and draw in tdi winning trades with photoshop and post them here and claim to be the king of the hill Tekkies...

Emmanuel, thanks for info.

When I get 6 losses I will first find out why it happens.
I will not start trading again until I know the reason. If I find out
that I didn't make any mistake and I did not find something wrong with
the system it's probably something with the market that changed.
My system is a trend trading system and if the direction of the trend suddenly
change I can get losses. Also if I trade multiple pairs at
the same time that contain the same currency I can get more that one loses.
I aslo use risk:reward higher that 1:1 and if my risk per trade is low I will
not lose much money. I'm not sure if I need more plan than this.

you should not have more 3 consecutive losses trading intraday in the same pair .
usually 3 losses in a row same pair same day means stop trading that pair and wait till next day.

Hereīs one example @Tekkies where the TDI green angle on the entry candle (marked by horizontal violet line) was sharp at 5-6 a clock... {image}
GBPUSD M15

London session closing hour is another dangerous time to trade.

And also last Friday was month end, we do not know if there are sellers or buyers at that hour or just traders exiting the market at the moth end.

Anyway, you booked one win which is 2R. So if this trade loss is -1R, you are still up 1R for the day...

Trading GBPUSD M15, I would also use the Stochastics and check its angle as what Big E said in his Post#41 and #42.
https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...28#post3302828
https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...89#post3302889

The clock angle 12-2 and 4-6 are original Craig Harris' NFF system and Big E use the same for the TDI Green price line.

PipTalk, If you watched the video on Oscillators you understand how he uses Stochastics for entries. Imagine the face of a clock on your chart indicator for Stochastics. If you have a line crossing up at a 12-2 PM angle its safe to enter normally. ***But: don't enter too late after it crosses and points up or down. (nothing is 100% all the time in forex). If the line all of a sudden points to the right at the 3 oclock angle, don't enter. Rules the same but opposite for the lines when going down (4-6 PM). Thanks... E

When Craig trades his swings he waits for the first reversal candle to close and then enters on the opening of the second candle. His goal is 20 + pips per Trade. (See the Numbers and Entry videos which shows you what he aims for.) He always trades with a stop loss. His stop loss is at the (top or bottom) of the 1st reversal candle. As he states on one of the videos... if it doesn't go a minimum of 20 pips and reverses on him... he will let the stop loss take him out. At that point if stochastic lines up with the next swing... he doubles his lot size and enters that next swing. He normally makes his loss back plus extra pips. If the second trade loses (which isn't often), he goes back to normal lot size on the next trade. 99.9% of the time he has a winning days with very, very, very few losing days using this method/secret. So his rule: If I lose a swing... I double up on my lot size for the next swing trade. Very Important!

there is special reason why he uses the Tokyo channel above 40pips. That is a market condition to decide to trade or not to trade. A simple filter and clever.
