{quote} I have to make a correction to my earlier post - and my apologies for the misleading statement. BigE had NEVER dropped the Stochastic, but occasionally he would move it to the lower indicator window and minimize it - I missed that, so a genuine Oooops on my part.
Hey David

about Big E, he did use different templates ... he checks everything and different timeframes too.

some times one method give an early signal while other times the other method give an early signal

there were times both methods give the same signal.

{quote} Looking back now it would have been a solid YES. It ties in with Post#12:1 ............ the trade close to the TDI 32 line which is about the bottom ............ trades taken short on the 32 line go 100 pips profit ........... Just be aware how close you are to the 68 & 32 line and pay close attention. The TDI and Stochs are giving opposite signals... Also pay attention to the left on the TDI for tops and bottoms... there pretty accurate for reversals... --------- At that time: - All four indicators confirmed each other. - The space between...
Tekkies,
You can most certainly over analyze entries, but if PA is strong plus strong Stoch and TDI angles and you are not running into any Support or Resistance.....

Emmanuel,

There was a time that he was adopting a trading approach that had crossing MAs, one of which was the 5MA with a shift of 1, so he certainly experimented to find the chart style and indicators he liked. We've all been there

evidently he tried many things during the period from 2008 till 2011...

this one below, about setup candle and perfect entry candle with the TDI 50-level ... this is one of TMS(r) setup conditions.

and when both the Stochastics and TDI shows same signal.. what is the signal?

APB/HA candles reversal Price Action with Stochastics (8,3,3) cross and TDI MA(2) of RSI(13) cross its MA(7) are both seen as signals.

Really? Over analyze? I was thinking I am not careful enough. Might miss a clue and go for a bad trade. That is how I apply Post#647, took a very long time for that happen.

Emmanuel should post a reference to one of BigE's posts in this thread where BigE clearly state he use different time frames and templates.

Did what you observed Brit. It feels extremely uncomfortable. When with the following mindset:
M15
- Green angle already below 5 and looks like it is going to cross over.
- Against Resistance as seen on both charts.
- Stoch confirm direction.
- Making a double top on both chart's.

This time it did work. Next time, who knows.
Conclusion: Stick to what you have developed. I need the crossover confirmed on M15.
Bagging those few extra pips is not worth the tension of will it work this time.

Getting ALL the pips is such a silly goal of so many people. I am happy to reach my goal of 10 pips per day. I don't need to try to find the start and end points of a run and collect ALL the pips! So what if a big pile is left on the table? I got what I wanted.

Tekkies - the "not over analyzing" comment applies to all of us when running multi time frame analysis. The key is to be comfortable with your trading plan / timeframe and when your signals line up, make your entries and exits accordingly

For me, signal = a strong TDI cross with a strong Stoch cross supported by good sized candles in the Price Action. If you have a ranging market and small candles, then I'll not take the signal.

I'll post my charts and set ups when I am trading again

Dear Tekkies, I am new to this "TMS" method. and I have carefully studied the instructions on the posts "97,098 - 97,088 - 95,596" and many other posts by you and other contributors in this thread.
It is Friday, August 16th and it is "1:45 pm in London" and "8:45 am in New York", so it's a great time for trading. I am trying to take a short trades on "CAD/CHF" pair, based on a "H1 TDI bearish cross". The problem is that I have a contrarian bullish TDI cross on H4 as I show in the pictures. Now, I am confused whether to take this short trade based on H1 TDI bearish cross or should I look for a bullish cross on M15 or H1 based on the bullish cross on H4?
please notice the pictures.
Thank you very much.

Here we go - getting back into it with this trade and back in with the day charts. Entered on the new day candle at 5:20 pm PDT - candle starts at 5pm.
Left overnight with an initial SL of 220 back to last Low Fractsa Low. ATR7 was at 164 pips, so SL @ 1.5xATR7 would have been around 250 pips. Now running with a trailing stop of 100pips - so 30 pips profit locked in. I will get Cave Manager running again so that I can set up for phased exits.
3rd window has the Bill Williams Awesome Oscillator with the 8,3,3 Stochastic overlay.

Your H4 chart is showing that you are heading into a resistance zone, which is being confirmed by your lower time frames, so this pair may be taking a rest before confirming if the resistance will hold.

Thank you for answering my question,
Are you suggesting that I have to wait for a reaction to this resistance level first (breaking up or moving down from it), and then consider a cross on the TDI?
Thanks.

Closed for 100pips seeing as it was folding back on the H1 chart. No further entries for this week. Will watch for a re-entry next week

Hello friends. I have read so many posts in this forum over the past few weeks. And the Tekkies posts are especially careful, since I am comfortable trading on the M15-H1 TF. Of course, there are still a lot of questions that I will understand. But I do not understand why there is a war between the Tekkies and emmanuel7788. Who is still right? I see that different participants support one or the other.

If you will allow me, I would like to recommend you stop these verbal battles because it only distracts.

I would also like to say thanks to the Tekkies. I even managed to make several profitable trades.

Confirm what Brit has posted - All three charts are against Resistance.

Did you really "carefully studied" the instructions?
Did you read Post#1 or BigE full.pdf.
> Where is stoch 8.3.3?

Don't know how long you have been trading, a old wise trader I can understand no Stoch otherwise you are playing a fool's game and you will lose the depots in your trading account.
I will not be any part of that.
Please follow what has been posted by BigE or find something els to do.

Has anyone here tried any of the Hector DeVille trading systems, ie: London Open Breakout, Market Flow Intraday, Part Time, or 3SMA?

I managed to find them for free. They're pretty old now (first came out 2010 or thereabouts), don't think he's even promoting them now, hence I was able to get them for free. I'll include a link to get them free if anyone's interested.
There's a lot of content, a lot of info for beginners, etc. Anyway, most of the systems sound pretty common sense and sound, has anyone is is anyone actually using any of these, and if so, are you making a profit. I'm starting out with a USD $5 account, investing 3% of the account funds per trade until I get the hang of actually setting up and executing trades. If it actually shows a positive +-, i'll definitely up the ante.
