Hey Tekkies

You do not have any profitable PAST PERFORMANCE that indicates that your can trade consistently nor to show that your M15H1 Vlines crosses can be profitable. You already admitted that you have not been profitable and neither consistent

So you can continue to be the TDI Guru Queen in this thread and continue teaching people to read the OP posts and to use Google search to find answers to their questions.

Have your forgotten what your search came up with when you Google "clock" and "simple'?

{quote} Don't be laze Emmanuel. Do a manuel back-test.

Why bother to do manual back-test all over again. I have done manual back-testing many years ago when Big E was still posting and have been forward testing in live market conditions. I know those TDI version posted in this thread will not work according to the written rules by the OP.

Read this pdf [click to download].

I do not doubt that Big E was profitable in that short period he traded.
But you are not Big E,
You do not have that 10 years trading experience which he had trading the stock markets.
You do not have that 6,000 hours which he had learning and trading retail spot forex.
You did not spend 2 years to develop TMS 5-Method.

You can continue to be the TDI Guru Queen and teach people here by regurgitating with cut-and-paste the OP posts and talk big pretending to be profitable. You are just an empty vessel that makes the most noise posting lots of garbage every week.

Can we have more of you Google search? Make us laugh more in this COMEDY THREAD.

Have a good weekend Tekkies.

Its not about what a trader did in the past, i reffered to how the TDI indicator performed in the past. If success here only depends on a traders individual interpretation, then stop making claims about a good working indicator (no matter what its showing like a good steep looking clock angle) which is no help at all trading a live market as everything you looked at on historical price action in relevance to the indicator won´t help much if it´s no better guarantee than 50/50 that the next signal you want to enter the market it will act the same way it did in the past.

So this would mean everything depends on the trader´s action. So even if i would understand what you do on M15/H1 with help of the TDI doesn´t mean a lot as long as it can´t be repeated in a rule based way. Even if it´s not possible to repeat in a mechanically way (robot) at least a rule based trading plan should provide such "edge", where you can easily apply such strategy for every new day resulting in positive results after X years.

Now that you can´t provide such plan here, nor you can back your claims of the TDI is a better win rate than 50/50 even with any rule based filters applied like your TDI green angle / higher time frames what should posting your charts here help anyone to become a better trader?

If you only post them to push your own ego i would at least understand why you do so, but everything else doesn´t make a lot of sense to me.

There is absolutely no structure behind it. Nothing which could be repeated. So in the end, this will be useless to everyone looking here, can you understand this?

Looks like the xxxCAD pairs are falling... sell USDCAD, EURCAD, GBPCAD, AUDCAD and NZDCAD. {image}

This week was a very good week selling the xxxCAD pairs - USDCAD, GBPCAD,AUDCAD and NZDCAD.
I did not pick EURCAD becasue of the MN and W1.

3 pairs ran well except NZDCAD.

If you look at the various timeframes charts below, you will notice the price behaviour which these pairs have in common. Each pair has its shortern support below but NFP manage to move them lower except NZDCAD got stopped in it track.

Does not make sence Iddd
You can't ignore what a trader did in the past and only refer to how the TDI indicator performed in the past. The two go hand in hand.
It is of no use TDI indicate a trade:
- trader did not trade that signal
- indicate a sell trade and trader place a buy trade
- trader place a trade xxx minutes after a given signal (after "that" nice long candle)
- add some more yourself

Good day to all, basically I have done the same work of Tekkies, looking with the vertical lines of the TDI crosses, I have found 19 crosses with bearish tendency, 16 bullish and 2 that I could not determine, for a total of 37. It is probable that there are some small differences in the lines drawn (please excuse me, but I had problem when I put its from one monitor to another).

At the top of the graphic I wrote the estimate in pips between each crossing: for this exercise gives a total of positive Pips of approximately 433 and negative of 39. There were also 23 crosses in the price direction and 8 against.

The vertical red lines indicate crosses downward, the blue upwards, and the turquoise undefined, the yellows trendlines lost at the crossroads, and the blue gains.
For this particular exercise there was a very good harvest of pips
Happy weekends ....

Visual back-testing tools were available years ago during the OP time to help traders. One of nice tool is to count the pips from entry to exit based on their trading rules for entry and exit.

If you had follow the OP posts from his beginning in Forex factory you would have the opportunity to learn from his trading journey, learn from those seminars and workshop he attended between 2006 and 2010. He was a subscriber to many trading systems, websites, forums, etc. He and used lots of the tools which were available back then.

Below is an example EURUSD H1 with single entry single exit SE/SE entry and exit rule using the Price Action Channel and TDI.

why spend precious time counting and adding pips on your chart. better spend time to read, learn, study, ... and develop your own system that fits you, and practice, practice,practice, ....

Be warned when you do visual back-testing of systems using lagging and re-painting indicators. The true results trading in live market conditions are very different.

hey Tekkies

people do not judge you here. you feel this way because you do not accept other's opinion and you judge others and their intentions.

what you are doing and trying to do here developing a expert advisor robot using M15H1 TDI cross vlines is nothing new. Others have tried that same technical approach many years before you started trading. It is a going tp be a very long journey for you in this and you will eventually learn many things along the way which may help your shape your thinking and the way you will trade in the future. Remember, there is no holy grail in trading.

as the Op Big E said this post 296 below:
<>
There are always going to be people who slam using Stochastics or any other indicator. Like you said... you have to learn how to use it like you have to learn how your favorite pair responds in the market place.

I have been burned once in a while however, most of the time it was my fault for reading the market incorrectly.

Just because you can bring an indicator up on your chart doesn't mean you know how to use it correctly.

Learning to trade is a lifetime process. Develop a trading system that fits you and practice, practice, practice. When your confident... go live.

Learn to tweek your strategy to stay up with changing market conditions. If your mentally burned out, take a week off.

Take your time to learn how to trade. Newbies want to trade live right off the bat... and I thank you for all those pips you paid for... that I get to keep. Take the time to enjoy the learning experience. There is no hurry... only in your mind.

I profit every day by using Stochastics. I hope you will too. It's just part of the puzzle.

=== Take note how the expert place a trade at the beginning of the bar that has the cross-over. Something you that fail to understand and Post 95,596 is all about.
-------------------
For member's / reader's alike
-Why this expert can not be used on a live account is that it lack human expertise.
- Post#647 can be code with difficulty, 5EMA, Stoch added which will only place more restriction on the expert that it won't be able to trade.
- Consolidation or whip-saw is a account killer.
- Where a human trade can look at the chart, apply Post#647, check higher time frames or what he prefer to use and then only place a trade.
Currently the expert is only looking at the TDI cross-over on H1.
(The mq4 code to use Post#95596 is rather complicated)
-----
One a trade is placed by all means use an expert adviser to manage those trades.
- Place a trade when TDI indicate a trade Post 95,596
(Prefer to use Break-even + pips, baby sit the trade until BE and walk away)
- Use a TDI indicator that will signal with a alarm when M15/30 H1/4, D1, W1, MN has cross-over.

hey Tekkies

that type expert advisors have been around years before you started trading TMS. there are many versions including commercial EAs sold online.

all of the EAs lost money during the years from 2010 to this year running in live markets.

I already posted many of the back-test results years ago.

your video only look good only when running in your MT4 strategy tester and it shows only the logic of the mql4 coding for entry and exit based on the technical indicator conditions.

the entries look good using history price data but in live market conditions the trade execution will face many problems which you do not know how to handle.

have fun enjoying your mql4 coding and good luck in your pursuit of the TMS TDI Green cross Red Holy Grail.

let us know when you make your first million pips.

Your post 95,596 is nothing new. Several members have tried that for years long before you started to trade forex and posting in this thread.

Those in the TMS 15 thread have tried that M15 and H1 MTF TDI approach and did not have any profitable results.

Many in this thread also tried H1 and H4 MTF TDI, taking H1 TDI trades when the H4 MTF TDI shows stepping up or down. They all failed and no longer post in this thread. Soem moved on to other TDI system thread and they have all gone silent.

Based on all these failed past performance of traders trying this same approach, I say you Post 95,596 is just another waste of time for people trying to learn the way the OP Big Ee traded TMS 5-Method.

I have nothing against the TDI. In fact I use the RSI for more than 20 years and still trade using the Fozzy-RSI. The TDI is just a fancy name given for marketing purposes. and it is in fact the Fozzy-RSI with different RSI period data and different moving average applied to the RSI data.
The main problem with the TDI is there are too many versions posted by different members at different times. The only version that work for the OP Big E and according to his rules Post#261 is the version in Post#25.

here are previous post links to the Fozzy-RSI.

So what do you suggest as a reliable way to trade the lower time frames (under H4) between London open and the first hours of the NY session?

I tried many strategies and different approaches now with mixed results trading manually.

Is it really that hard to find a clear defined trading strategy which works on M15/H1 doesn’t lead into over trading giving tons of signals, doesn’t lead into a lot of contradiction, doesn’t have to deal with multi time frame analyses paralyses (or at least describe that in an easy to follow and clear way what to do here before taking any entry setup).
