first trade this week during Tokyo session.

EURUSD Apr 14 M15 trading

Some missed trade setups opportunities during the first 4 hours today.

I only trade AUDUSD, AUDJPY and USDJPY during the Sydney-Tokyo open hours.

Also note that the Trend 2/8 H4 is ranging for many H4 candle periods therefore better to check H4 to see what the price action was like when you want to trade intraday.

AUDUSD Apr 14 M15 trading

AU in consolidation now and potential for a breakout. Be careful when Tokyo traders finishes their sushi hour, then when Frankfurt and London open hours.

Trade M15 setups

Follow TDIC1 = H1

Trend 2/8 is H4

Always check your charts timeframe m15, H1 and H4. But caution that if your switch you trading chart timeframes, the Traders_Dynamic_Index repaints.
Hope you know the smart thing to do and do not disturb trading chart M15 by leaving it un-touch all the time. Just trade what you see.

TDI M15 is not the best but

TDIC1 H1 is good

good point. and you are right to wait and see a M15 move above 1.0950.

strictly speaking looking at M15 bigger picture, there is 1.0950 to overcome and previous price action PPA seen last week.

trading H4 setup, we often face with the retracement in lower timeframe.

if the current H4 does not make higher high and higher low with a higher Close, this trade would be a loser.

{quote} Tekkies I said this before and you con tinue to mislead people reading this thread. That one version of Big E pdf which you keep on repeating is not complete. There are in fact two(2) pdf files. All the discussions and questions that were asked and answered during the OP time are not all in those compiled pdf. Followers of this Trading Made Simple thread will be better off when the read from Post#1 up to Post#12,912. I am afraid there is no short-cut to learn to trade and to trade the Big E TMS 5-Method.
You keep on saying that.
Good, now proof your point: Which post in this thread by BigE is not in that pdf.
Please don't refer reader's to a post like the "upside dog" or "flying motorbike"

Yes BigE did refer to Harris thread and nowhere did he post that you must read / learn / study his trading or do any of the bullshit you post day in / day out.

On the other hand do you understand what this mean:
#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.
If you want to share your other ways or indicators then PM the person that is interested.

Guys.... My point is let’s keep the thread clean... If you see a post for someone looking for something or a different way you trade it... no problem but please PM them alone... thanks...

GBPUSD Apr 14 H1

It is looking good with London Open now

TDIC1 H4 is green... mean green is above red

Trend 2/8 green for the previous 3 days and today so far is green.

Emmanuel, has this problem been sorted? I do check/switch different timeframes, and though it doesn't usually change the crosses, it does affect the angle of said crosses. It's not a nice feeling, whilst finalising trading decisions, to have the goalposts move on you.

The indicator can't be "sorted" because it shows you the angle at the open of the candle. Once you change timeframes and back again, its no longer the open of the candle.

No, the angle of the crosses does not change: The angle is the value returned from a mathematical calculation at the bar close. Perhaps AFTER some tics have passed AND you refresh your chart, the angle changes, because the conditions have changed from the moment that the angle calculation was made, so...

Thanks for the feedback, lisat. I'm still not quite following though. For instance, what's to stop it from reading data from the beginning of the candle (ie the 1st tick)?

I know what you mean, but it's not made that way, so all we can do is work with what we have. The best way is to go by the signal on another chart, and use another chart if you want to compare timeframes.

Thanks for chiming in, DrDave. So does it read from the beginning or close of a candle? lisat seems to suggest the beginning.

Don't know if this explains what I'm experiencing, but I usually have my trading decisions made 5-3 minutes before the close of the current candle. So the switching back and forth would occur before that (and thus before the candle closes).

Since this system relies so much on TDI, is there somewhere I can read up on this? Cheers!

Thanks Emanuell im going through Big Es learning, its a lot of stuff but its worth it. Im trying meanwhile to start with the TMS19 but im facing many issues. First of all when i load it it looks very wird even if its working according to the happy smiley face in the corner. But im having a lot of issues with many indicators and expert advisors lately, they just dont look graphically correct, the texts and tables are mixing together etc, i have no idea what can be wrong but there is definitely something wrong

The close of a bar and the open of the next bar are essentially the same moment in time, so you can use them interchangeably. I did not look at the code, but most likely at the moment a bar closes, the value of the indicator is used along with the value of the indicator at the close of the previous bar to calculate the angle. If you have the calculations update on each new tic and the indicator is also redrawn on each tic, then you will see the indicator angle change if the indicator value changes with the calculation on the new tic.

The close of a bar and the open of the next bar are not strictly based on the clock time, but also require tics to be registered. If a bar opens (there had to be a tic registered for that to happen) but no more tics registered for 2 hours, then for every time period less than H2 has the last closed bar appearing to be very late at closing.

For example, when an M15 bar is forming, trades are being made (tics can be counted). After 15 minutes have passed on the clock, one expects that this M15 bar will close and a new M15 bar will open. However, if the amount of time that has passed is 14 minutes and 59 seconds but no more tics have registered until 15 minutes and 10 seconds, then the M15 bar cannot close at the expected 15 minute clock interval, but only after that next tic is registered, which didn't come until 10 seconds after the expected close. So if you were using a timer, you would see that the bar was late by closing by 10 seconds, and likewise, the next bar was late in opening by 10 seconds.
