He wrote "Do not think you can trade with us without reading the thread and taking notes. READ & STUDY."...
Let me help you with the contradiction bit.
Both Post#3044 and Post#3418 is from the Harris thread. Both mention to remove TDI.
Post 3,044: the tdi & stochs. / Post#3418: without the TDI

Post#160 is from Trading Made Simple Thread
Post 160 "study old charts where the TDI gives clean signals."

How can you study old chart where there is no TDI to give clean signals
Say again Emmanual, Harris and TMS are not the same method.
-----
Pay attention to the high light red words.
Fact is you failed again to answer a direct question.
- BigE never mentioned rsi(3) in anything that he wrote.
- So why do you keep adding material, such as rsi(3), that is not part of the 5 method?
You do know what "wrote" and "such as" mean?

You must get a fourth eye. The three you claim to have aren't working so well.

There is no contradiction. The OP wrote those posts below.

You do not have the 'third eye' .. you admitted this.

There is no fourth eye.. you talk nonsense again and again. RSI(3) is what the OP himself posted in Post#504 chart.

Here are the OP posts which you failed to READ and STUDY.

Which cause all the inconsistency and confusement in his countless posts is that Emmauel is trying very hard to get to TDI crossover to fit what Price Action is doing.

- In this method TDI only indicate a possibility of a trade, Price Action must confirm the trade.

and poor Tekkies still confused with what Trading Made Simple is and where it started.

so here is another repeat post just for Tekkies

I think this would also benefit traders wanting to follow the OP's trading journey here in Forex Factory and learn from what the OP has posted over the years from 2008 till 2011.

You mean after all the 3 years you have been reading my post and you still don't get it why .

Here is repeat repeat post for Tekkies,

Introduction to Trading Made System

To learn what Trading Made Simple is, you have to follow the trading journey of the OP eelfranz aka Big E. He started as a newbie in 2008. Know the history and you will learn a lot from the OP and you can then move on and develop your own trading system following how he did his.

try this,

Here is a quick introduction to this Trading Made Simple thread:
Trading Made Simple for beginners : Post#52,707

A short history by pioneer member snarlyjack Post#110

Our late OP eelfranz aka Big E spent 6,000 hours: Post#6 and he evolved as a trader and went on and developed two trading methods.
5-Method and 21/233 Method Post#3018, Post#4104,

After months of postings and answering many frequently asked questions FAQs,
eelfranz made the jump to this new Trading Made Simple thread on 26 April 2011... Post#4432

In Post#1, he explained how he traded the H4 chart timeframe and he also traded the H1 chart during the NY session. This suited his lifestyle being retired and the time zone he lived. Sadly he passed away in Oct 2012.

Two very important posts: Post#261 and Post#647, give a simple summary of what this 5-Method is and the basic forex stuff we check before we look for the TDI setups to trade.

TMS 5-Method Basic Rules: Post#53,841
Always check the #1- Price Action first, then #2- TDI Post#3142
Big E wanted us to build this TMS thread together... Post#4,432

The original indicators and template Post#25
If you are overwhelmed (information overload) by the number of posts and the loads of information and variations shared by other traders here, the best thing to do is to stop reading and go back to the basics what Big E mentioned in his 463 posts in this thread and 861 posts in the CHS thread. First you learn and master the 5-Method first before you start add your own tweaks and create your own system.

Recommendations:
Read all of Big E posts... 861posts in the Craig Harris Stochastics thread and 463 posts in this TMS thread....and make notes on those training charts he posted. Pay attention whenever he mentioned PA and what you see on his training charts.

Learn the basic stuff about forex trading first. A good place to start is www.babypips.com/school

If you want to trade the way Big E described in Post#1, make sure you use his template , the Synergy APB / HA candles and use that TDI Red Green version. These are in Post#25.

Note that the TDI Red Green version repaints all the bars in history so you cannot use this when you do back-testing by scrolling back your charts. The better way is to run this in live market and trade the TMS setups based on what you see without refreshing your charts. When you want to trade with entries on the APB#1 and APB#2 candles, always wait for the price bar/candle to close and use the TDI to confirm the setup.

Enjoy and Have fun during your learn to trade journey.

Hi Folks

Be warned of such post above which are wrong information what Trading Made Simple 5-Method is.

There 5EMA is not a leftover from a system that BigE was testing.
TMS is a simple trading method based on price action seen using the APB/HA candles and a 5EMA Typical Price,Shift+3. The Stochastics (8,3,3) is fom earlier trading system the OP learn from a FF thread and from CraigHarris' Natural Flow of the Market seminar and the Traders Dynamic Index indicator is from the Synergy system by Dean Malone, CompassFX back in 2006/2007.

The TDI green and red lines do not need to point in the same direction in a price reversal.

Use the TDI Price Line green line and look to trade setups. There are two type of setups - price swings reversals and continuation in a swing. A reversal trade setup entry is when the APB/HA candle changed colour. The 5EMA is also seen as the direction. Entry is best when APB/HA candle count is #1 and #2 candle in the reversal.
The TDI green line must support the price momentum. The red line is not so important when you take a reversal trade, the red line does not need to be pointing in the same direction of the green.

The 5EMA and Stochastics were not removed.
These were used for different purposes as the OP progressed in his trading wit more experience. For example, he would look at the price action with reference to its 5EMA. The Stochastics is to support the direction of the reversal and price momentum following the reversal.

A good reference summary guide is in Post#261 below.

There 5EMA is not a leftover from a system that BigE was testing.
Fact:
Post 718: At one time I used the 5ema in a different way. Back then if a candle closed across the 5ema it
was the set up candle. I would enter the trade at the beginning of the next candle if it was the
same color.... and that still works... this is more conservative...
I am more aggressive now and noticed I was giving up some pips doing it that way so I changed to
using the TDI candle #1 or 2 for entries.
I left it on my chart because I like to see how PA interacts with the 5ema line during the trade.
Gives me a better feel for what's going on... that's mainly the reason...
------
The TDI green and red lines do not need to point in the same direction in a price reversal.
Fact:
Post 647 say it all. When TDI green angle line ia not confirmed by reversal you are not following the rules.
Post 1,718 I don't care what the red TDI line is doing.
(Not TMS: Rather place a trade when both lines are moving in the same direction.)

The 5EMA and Stochastics were not removed.
Fact:
Post 71,397: (please correct me if I am wrong)
Back then, no one corrected me. I did removed 5EMA biased on how I understand Post 718:
Also that statement by Emmanuel will only show readers contradiction posted.
In Post 99,541 with Post#3044 and Post#3418 Emmauel try to convince you that TDI and Stoch can be removed.
Same was also implicated in many posts where the content of Post 2,617 was distorted to suit his narrative.
Now suddenly nothing is removed.
Take note: No mentioned is made about TDI.

here is the OP' Post#718 in full.

learn to differentiate the details in that post. The 5EMA still works ... the OP got more aggressive using the reversal APB/HA candles #1 and #2. Note that the 5EMA still works when there is a set-up candle also using the APB/HA candle.

You need to learn both conservative and aggressive entries.

Read the thread from Post#1 up to Post#12,912.

Post#1718 is just 1718 of 12,912.

Below is Post#1718 in full.

Notes:

1) the Stoch confirms the TDI signal between 20-80 lines, in order for the Stoch to show between 20-80 its %K must cross %D and also when the Stoch %K crossed it %D, there is the REVERSAL candle setup. Study all charts in live market and you will learn faster.

2) the first two candles mentioned by Big E is always the APB/HA candles.... NOT the Japanese candlesticks.
You can learn how to read the price action with the BAR CHART in Foreground and the APB/HA candle will remain on your charts.

Example below EURUSD D1 Dec 16.

it is your poor reading skills.

the TDI can be the heart of the method. the TDI can be king. Nobody can deny the OP these which what he once believed.

Now practice you reading skills first and then like the OP said: "READ and STUDY old charts".

You will learn what it means by "Stochastics confirm" and "TDI confirm", you will see both on live market charts. I will be posting lots of chart to show these to help you learn and understand how to read and study at the same time ... LIVE!.

Be very very very patient. I have become like Big E, I have the patience of "Job and Moses".

Now look at your chart AUDCAD H1 post earlier. What happened after several hours passed.

The TDI is useless to trade when the market is in consolidation... let the TDI be king... a useless king when we are trading live and the price gap.

You can stop lying and misleading people here. You are ignorant how MT4 charts can show as either Foreground or Background.

Zoom in that chart and you will see the real price bar Open and Close also its High and Low.
