{quote} You want to look at it that way YES. ------- Little bit background info. Now what type of trader are you? Short term / Long term / intraday / scapler / swing............ and a few in between.

So why do you tell me MY trade was against the trend?

On M15 most of the times you trade against any bigger trend otherwise you would have a hard time ever finding enough valid setups to cover your losing trades.

If you enter on M15 TDI cross over such trade isn’t planned for hundreds of pips. At least that’s what I do when trying to find a tdi setup for M15, I aim for 20-30 pips, in most cases this is one little swing up or down and a trade time duration of 1-2 hours at maximum before its over.

In my GU example posted the trade should only show to you that I used to had a very nice steep good looking TDI green angle on the M15 chart and it was worth nothing because just a few minutes later it changed direction. And this happens quiet a lot of times, that’s why I said such good tdi green angle gave no little extra edge at all...

From what I've seen with my own progress, Big E really only traded at certain TF's and really only used 1H + from what I see and traded a certain way during the UK and NY. If anyone is having issues, I highy recommend reading this PDF he left behind again and again and again until it starts working. It's over 100 pages, all great info so read it all from start to finish. From my own progress, I find the 4H + way more reliable. Patience is key.

Best regards.

Tekkies, i have nothing against the TDI, it’s an indicator like many other trying to forecast things based on historical price calculations.

Nothing more nothing less.

I just wanted to point out that I can’t find any statistical advantage a 12-2 or 4-6 clock steep angle cross over will provide compared to a more flatten angle.

I am fully aware of the other „facts“ why my GU trade was a bad idea to go short at this where i noticed the tdi crossed on M15 at exactly such steep angle 4-6 angle (it was almost 6 a clock by the way).

So the question to me stays, how do you want to filter out so many TDI cross over signals you get where under live conditions even with the perfect angle it won’t provide you with even a 1% better chance of success as 50/50 ?

Now let’s assume my goals are to cherry pick and patiently wait for only the best setups here any M15 chart will give to me.

You need any kind of statistical advantage to survive in the long run like 51% such trades will work and 50% will not so you can at least make your percentage win after thousands of trades over years and years...

How do you want to guarantee that with manually cherry picking even if you only take such „best“ setups the TDI?

So all your results will be basically depend on luck. Some traders may call this experience but in the end if you cannot systematically proof a tradings strategy performance over the long run either based on a reliable backtest or forward trading for at least a few years in every kind of market condition how can you say then it’s working like somebody else said that it does?

Not quite yet for London Session open, but the last M15 candle at 10EMA looks good with bullish momentum.

I know of two names - NeoRio and piptalk in his old thread whom he trusted enough that he ....

there were two skype groups rooms back then in 2010/2011.

I know a few of those skype room members and after Big E passed away, I chatted with some of them but in the last 2 years it has gone very quiet obvious reasons is they are not making money... that wheel barrow was a joke.

here is an old post by snarlyjack with the SynergyPro zip file.

{quote} Filter the current TDI crossover against a higher time frame.
And what should the higher timeframe, so H1 TDI look like at time of an strong M15 cross over?

I don’t understand what you mean here. There are also no rules by the OP saying to look at the next higher time frame after TDI gave a signal for the timeframe I plan my trade (entry and exit).

If he traded like that where is this written and explained?

So I guess these are your rules Tekkies, not the OPs, correct?

Can you provide some statistics about the performance of such signals at exactly that condition you are hunting for day by day?

Like,

- How many trades over 12 month.
- How many trades on average per day.
- Overall percentage win/loss
- Average loss/win in pips over all such trades.

Ok i probably know what’s coming now again, such information is private and won’t help me to become a better trader.

So at least tell me how I am able to make my own backtest for such perfect signals where like you say. M15 and H1 and every other entry rule is at the right condition.

Come on Iddd.
You refer to them as "cherry pick" chart's. Have posted enough of them.
------
As to the rest of your post. Why bother with statisties?
Nice try Iddd
First learn to trade, then you can have all the stat's in the world to look at: Your own.

Easy to work all those question.
- 12 month: Count all crossover for that time frame in one year.
- per day: Count all crossover for that time frame in one day.
- win/loss: Count all crossover that ended in a win or loss
- Since you going to count all crossover's use MT4 crosshair, write down the pips value.
-----
Have done all of that already Iddd. Some of the chart's posted have blue(win) / yellow (loss) trend lines. That is how I did it, easy to export to Excel.
Short and sweet: Do your own homework.

Your charts posted here leave out most parts of the full chart picture... You always cut them out.

So there is nothing to learn from these instead of Tekkies did post another winning trade instead of showing all trades including losers by the end of a week or even a month.


This could be done in a matter of 5 minutes even with automated recorded live entries costing you nothing than a mouse click.

But instead you have enough time for long replies and fighting everyone saying something negative about the TDI like you already do for years with Emmanuel? Really? What is wrong with you guys I ask my self...

Like said manny times if you really want to help people here this would help much more instead of showing only hand picked winning trades where even most important facts are not even visible on such picture.

I think these are only excuses because you don’t have any long term success with what ever you believe to do with the TDI, but however.

So please answer my question. What exactly a M15/H1 entry signal has to look like so it can be spotted and repeated day in day out.

Could you post that once again please or refer to any pre existing post from you giving all rules pointed one by one in easy words and post your working trading hours too and market this works on. So I can then create my own picture you suggested.
