What is of importansie.
- How the red / green trend lines look?
- Where red / green intersect? (cross-over)
-----
- Run chart A un-refreshed for a couple of days with post#25 TDI
- Load chart B with post#25 TDI
- Overlay chart A over Chart B
- Mark the different.
----
It is better to do the above for one reason.
- Chart B will be the most accurate chart with all information freshly loaded.
----------------------------
From this one test (24 hours duration) both Chart A / B:
- TDI crossover occurred at the same time with price.

Questions:
- How many times do Post#25 TDI re-paint the cross-over in a day, week, month, year?
- How big is the impact of a re-painted cross-over on the account concerning profit / loss?

Most of all do the trader that use post#25 TDI:
- Trade on historical cross-over's
- Make trade decision based on the current set-up (cross-over) that is about to happen / did happened on the current bar.

This used to be a great thread. While I no longer use the TMS strategy alone, I learned a lot from it and I still use some of the key strategies offered here. I personally spoke with ellfranz before he passed. He was so helpful and passionate about this thread. He would have never put up with all the arguing. Instead, he would have continued to nurture successful traders. Honestly, the thread started by RobinHood is very good - Trading Made Simple(r) – it’s worth some studying. It has helped considerably to increase my win rate. I am going to un-subscribe...
Yes, the thread perversion is REALLY old--recognized from at least March, 2013 post #16,690.
Here is only the very first paragraph.
Why have you chosen derail and destroy the blessed work of BIG E. lf he was to be around, he would have banned you from this thread. You are taking people back to what destroyed other peoples account in the past. Do you see the number of people that are supper rich and successful forex traders using only BIG E`s simple method.

If The Saga of the TDI is a problem, then the OP Big E has the solution for everyone.

Honestly on the 5 method you don't really need any indicators because the simple entry rules are so basic and clear cut. If I were to pick two it would be the tdi & stochs.


Jan 26, 2011
#3103
I almost always have the tdi & stoch on all my charts regardless of the method being used.

However, it's not necessary on the 5 method for me. It gives people more confidence when they have it on their charts it seems.... and it's a good confirmation to the current PA and possible trade.



Feb 12, 2011
#3418
You can trade the 5 method without the TDI if it's a problem...

PA is HA Candles, PA crosses the yellow line and closes... enter on the next candle if it's the same color. When candles flatten out... exit. Stay in the trade as long as it doesn't cross back over the yellow line and close.

The TDI just gives me a lot more information for making my entries & exits decisions.

2scoops asked me a long time ago what would be the most beneficial to learning this method for higher success... The answer was simple... study old charts for set ups... now strip down everything on that chart at that point... trends, angles, S/R levels, News times, Stoch angle within the 20-80 lines..etc. Burn it into your memory... I spent 2 years doing that.... so what does that mean?

It takes me 15 seconds to strip a chart down to nothing including the TDI & Stoch's. Taking clean trades is a breeze for me... why?


But you need to learn price action and be consistently good at Post#647.

Kumo... (671) or just that they are pointed in the right direction... Pointed in the same direction as the TDI... Confirmation... Some people like using an RSI (13) with a 50% line
this is no secret, those who have mastered the method trading in live market conditions knows this.

the Stoch(8,3,3) and TDI#25 must point in the same direction


Some people like using an RSI (13) with a 50% line ... is another way how you can use the RSI(13) instead of the TDI#25 price line green line

but this is for the REVERSAL trade setup and the bounce setup is different.

{quote} No need to joke with us--the entire thread from about 2016 is a joke. But really, everyone has his own criteria for "proof". And I am confident that not a single viewer of this thread has seen proof presented in the thread that the system or any derivative of it has long term profitability. And I do not expect proof will ever be provided.
You may evaluate 'proof' from your personal side and from a 'third-party side'.
If you have more money in your pocket than before, you judge this as proof for sure.
Proof to third party (thread followers) has to be clean and clear with rules, trade management and so on, we all know this.
If a stable strategy with unchanged settings meet a market laughing about stability, there's showing up a problem.
So you should be prepared to adapt your trading to market.
Simple example: SL + TP of 2014-2015 using 5/15 minute TF changed over the years, whatever strategy you're using.
Trustworthy showing 'non-stable' strategies propably is the greatest challenge.
Why? - Because there are so much searchers outside for the stable = easy grabbing money system.

Good luck

Never actually subscribed to it. Did not know the OP, came here long time after he left. Can’t say there was anything much i learned from his charts or posts. There are far to many subjective elements everywhere within it which makes backtesting it impossible and keeps the thread getting bumped all the time. It’s really only good for entertainment now and I can’t even say it ever used to be anything much better? But I feel hard to believe anyone yet ever came out with positive results just by doing what the OP described. It’s no clear rule defined mechanical system neither it’s anywhere near to a well defined strategy.

The TDI on it’s own is a joke and even if you add some more indicators to the game like a stochastic and what ever else it won’t become any better than flipping a coin.

The best thing I learned so far from it is.

Do exactly the opposite of what anyone else is trying to teach here. Buy if YOU think price is going up, sell if you think it’s going down. Do not sit in the front of the screens all day. Only risk a very little to win a little more at best. Repeat that and you will be probably fine without the TDI, fancy dashboard or what ever the heck people trying to sell you as a holy grail here.

How To spot a true Reversal Candle webinar ... click

you must first learn to spot the NFF reversal candles.

here is the pdf checklist.

when market opens, you must be disciplined to spot a reversal bar/candle with Stoch signal, then look at the TDI#25.

use this example below and when the market is open it is easy to spot these trader setup conditions.
