{quote} and my conclusion after so many years Trading Made Simple is ... Too much time is being spent on TDI and Stochastics, Too little time on Price Action and Support/Resistance. And no time spend on Money Management, Risk Management for entries and exits, When to Cut-Losses short and How to Let Profits Run. You need to find your WINNING EDGE and the TDI is not in the winning edge equation.
Hi Emmanuel
I believe you are a good trader and do believe you make nice gains.For sake of this thread you wrote " TDI is not in the winning edge equation"
But OP did post this. Clearly there is contradiction furthermore if TDI is not a winning edge then why do you post not only TDI but often 2-3 oscillators on your charts.Not here to argue or anything I am just trying to understand.

well Loker, you don't have to agree with me on this.

read and study the OP posts in his old thread and you will learn how he started trading using the Stochastics indicators and then moved on to trade Craig Harris Natural Flow Forex NFF on GBPUSD M15 and then went further to use Dean Malone' Synergy system and blended several things to create different methods/systems. His 5-Method is s blending of NFF and Synergy components and he used the TDI green line which shows price momentum to confirm the Stochastics signals. It was not just the TDI green line cross red line which he looked at. He used the APB/HA candles and his Price Action study / analysis was based on the HA candles and not based on the real price bar/candlestick although he did mention that he look at the Japanese candles at times.

A short history by pioneer member snarlyjack Post#110

Big E claimed in 2008 that he was profitable every day when he was trading with the Stochastics but why then did he went on and added the TDI? You will find the reasons when you pieced together all his post and you will get to know the man. Just remember he check everything when he has doubt about the TDI and he had 19 different chart templates back then.

Regarding Post#3142, you need to read the posts before that post#3142 to follow the topic of the discussions then and the context why he said this:
Always check the #1- Price Action first, then #2- TDI Post#3142

I failed may times in forex trading.

After i figure out the simple way (naked chart) to trade with Gold and GBPUSD, it work fine to me. Just saw the chart and identified the trend, open sell when down trend and open buy when up trend. Simple will do. Seen like it work. But the only challenging for me is greedy.

Hi Davit

what is a WINNING EDGE? I am sure different people have different meaning to this and therefore there will be different opinions which can lead to lots of robust discussions and arguments.

Tekkies claimed that the TDI is his winning edge but he has not been consistent profitable yet he defend his TDI. Does he have a mental strategy when trading with real money? A lot of blah blah blah coming from him who has not yet shown consistency in profitability.

I do believe Big E has his edge when he was trading between 2008 and 2011 using that first version of the TDI developed in 2006. That version is unique and subsequent versions are different. So which TDI version give anyone his winning edge. He has more than just the TDI to give him his edge in trading. Was that his WINNING EDGE is the question.

Why do I have 3 sub-windows with different oscillators?
You know very well what oscillators are good for when trading different market conditions and therefore you dropped the TDI.
I write my comments on that same chart I posted.
1) the Stochastics is the first oscillator which Big E used since 2008.
2) the two different TDI versions for comparison and for members to see the repainting.
3) the TDI can be replicated using any trading platform' RSI data and adding moving averages to the RSI data. Also the RSI(3) is another template used by Big E.
ALL the 3 sub-windows are for study and comparison so that the members can observe, learn and make their own decision what to use. I look at the market type conditions in the price window when I trade and they oscillators just follow what the price does.... lagging is the common term used.

It is very important that TMS traders know the above and when they follow Big E written rules in this thread, they must use the correct version of the TDI i.e. the version posted in Post#25 which is the first original version by Dean Malone, CompassFX. Using different version of the TDI will have different entry and exit rules, one of many reason why people will lose their money relying on an oscillator.

{quote} Which method you use for your daily trading ? Is it the RSI and MA?

trading the Daily is still the same 5-Method as what the OP of this thread had shared.

because I am not scalping the Daily, I am swing trading on the Daily / Weekly therefore I rely more on the platform's RSI rather than any custom indicator like the TDI.

the RSI(13) or the RSI(3) will show the price momentum the same what the TDI#25 green line will show. You can use the RSI provided in your TradingView platform.

some examples of Daily and Weekly trades by the OP:

hey Tekkies

what is that substance you have been abusing the last 4 years that impaired your reading and your brain functions?

of course price move up and move down all the time when the markets are open.

have you read what market analysts and professional traders talked about market volatility during those years 2006 to 2011 when Big E was trading?

what has happened to the market volatility since 2012 till 2019?

if you think you can trade like Big E and make 150 pips a day, you should tell us which of the 8 currency pairs will give us 150 pips a day.

stop dreaming, wake up!

hey Tekkies

you are still confused with the old thread title.

learn the truth, go and read, study and learn what the OP shared in that old thread. The title was GBPUSD M15 but FF Admin changed that after the first 162 posts and he wanted to shut down that thread.
https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...93#post3323593

then he continued and share other methods in that same old thread.

he then moved the 5-Method discussions to this new thread and someone suggested the thread title "Trading Made Simple".
https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...86#post4569586

you even got confused with divergence and Divergence...

OP has passed away few years now. Whatever opinion we have we don't do it on this thread. Dead man can't respond. That's the least we do out of respect for OP. Admin should lock this thread as read only. Since Admin won't take this sensible step then members should self enforce this no posting. Further discussions of TDI can be done on new threads for interested parties imho. RESPECT for deceased OP is most important way beyond trading related matters in this case. Sadly this basic respect is largely ignored. This thread serves as testimony to humanities...

absolutely your are right.

and people should not use this thread for their commercial interest and prey on innocent people to their club subscription and signal service.

But that video and Synergy trading system are irrelevant to this thread because BigE stated early on that he does not use the TDI the way Dean Malone uses it. He took the parts that were useful for HIM and applied them in HIS WAY as the heart of his trading system.

Why go off topic yet again?

Cut the bullshit Emmanuel.
You are posting all those extra indicators to confuse readers.
The reason why this thread is in a samble is because members like you and other's think they know better.
#6 ..................If you add other things it will influence your decisions... usually to your detriment.
#486...............I'm disappointed in a few of you and your actions. This is my thread and my method... traded the way I've laid it out.
I don't want to see any more posts that discuss other indicators... other ways... I'm here to help you to make money at no cost to you and I've invested thousands of hours doing just that.
Just show your support and respect that were discussing the 5 method... making trading simple.
