TDI is useless?
Why is that?
No Iddd, it is the other way around.
- The trader is useless and the indicator gets the blame.
- The trader is useless and the method gets the blame.
Good example was the Turtle Traders.
Why did some of them made millions and some lost millions. They all followed the same rules / method.

"Post a chart showing all TDI M15 signals for a month'
Here are one.
Blue = Win
Yellow= Lose.

Best part Iddd, is that any person can verify / proof / disproof....... TDI by:
- Download Post#25 TDI.
- Load it on a chart.
- Every time TDI crossover plot a vline and trendline in real time.
- After every new crossover save a template.
- Try not to re-fresh chart for as long as possiblr
(TDI may repaint the crossover, those vline's and trendlines don't repaint on refresh)

But hey it is so easy to flap lips and post in Bold "HINDSIGHT TRADING"
When you want to win at this game, you better walk that extra mile.

Don‘t really understand the way you plotted those lines. I did a couple of back tests for EUR/USD over all M15 signals for a couple of times on the past and never got even close to a 50% success rate and also losers has been more than not far bigger than winners. More like a 30-40% at best i got here trading every TDI signal.

Thats why I said TDI on its own is useless as you won’t end up positive of taking every signal. Nothing more I am saying here.

So if you post a few winning trade examples where TDI crossed over and gave you a win, that doesn’t really teach anything about how to avoid bad entries.

Now you might going to say, that’s where the few extra rules coming in (can’t remember post number, 647 or so). But the problem here is that it’s pure subjective criteria and doesn’t follow any rules which can be repeated.

Try trading every of the TDI M15 cross overs no matter what market hours and condition, no matter what the higher time frame is printing and so on and tell me how you will come out positive after it.

My point is if you guys cannot provide a strict rule followed plan covering the complete picture that will produce positive results for every one the same as he would follow such rules how can you call something a strategy or even trading system?

Again that’s why I said the TDI on its own is useless, otherwise why no EA for M15 that would give out positive results? How is that not possible if you say the TDI is that much a main actor like every post from you sounds like?

Come on. What did you learn out of those two images.
Would say nothing.
Did you notice's between the two chart's:
- length and placement of wicks
- where TDI crossed over (level)
- length of bar
- support / resistance
- angle of green (already mentioned)
You did not even asked where is Stoch.

Nope. Because you did not explain what the alert is. We can GUESS that it is TDI green cross red. But maybe you have some other criteria that acts as a filter, so the alert is not EVERY TDI green x red.

I think that you are referring only to GBPUSD M15 timeframe, even though your statement implies to stop looking at GBPUSD altogether and go to another instrument.

Also, note how the TDI green is cycling up-and-down the 50 line in similar fashion to the price vs. the bid line.

Precisely the problem with so many different TDIs .... I counted 5 versions by Dean Malone CompassFX the creator between 2005 and 2010 and many more version by other members in the MT4 community.

you need to ask: which version is the Holy Grail?

and this newbie Tekkies who started trading in Mar 2016 proclaimed in Sep 2016... same year,

Because you don't have anything to dept with? The entry/exit criteria for these trades cannot be embedded in a repeated routine that every trader could execute the same way on any given day. Nearly all of the rules you mention here "length of bar" "S/R" are already subjective by nature.

S/R can be drawn in differently from trader A to trader B. Length of a bar, what is small what is big? S/R can be drawn in different ways by each new trader.

So where is the point. I could come up with a perfect trade example meeting all rules and indicators setting that got lost and you would say "Hey didn't you notice the S/R level... didn't you notice the bad "market condition" " hey didn't you notice the corona virus is out there.."

Where is the point? If you have no strategy or system that is backed up by even a track record?

No wonder why this is the heaven for trolls and bullshitters here. Actually same with 99% of all other topics on that forum. Sadly...

Folks,

You don't need these drawing of lines on your charts, it just clutter and block your view of the price and price action. Just another example of rubbish nonsense by Tekkies who derailed this thread for his own agenda.

This is not Trading Made Simple by the OP aka Big E.
First and foremost, the OP Big E never once proclaimed that the TDI is Holy Grail but Tekkies did.

Seriously?? The wannabe trader speaks his typical nonsense, again. No one needs to ask anything. All they need to do is PICK ONE and try it for themselves, following the information that BigE provided YEARS AGO. Develop your list of trade entry rules and follow them real time for a few weeks and then assess the results.

Yet another attempt by Tekkies to distract you from trading TMS the way the OP did.

Tekkies still believes the TDI is his Holy Grail. Do not fall for that nonsense. Even the creator of the TDI Dean Malone himself told his subscribers that there is no holy grail in trading.

To learn Trading Made Simple 5-Method, better to start with using the OP's template like the one I have below. I did this for more than 7 years and I have mastered the 5-Method by following every of the OP's post in Forex Factory and learned EVERYTHING he shared. When the OP said you can trade his 5-Method without the TDI, he was honest and he was correct to say that you can trade hi 5-Method without the TDI. It is quite simple but you need to put in lots of hours doing the hardwork to achieve that. There is no short cut.

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?
