{quote} Tekkies That's where you are wrong again!. TMSWatchDog by plamendp has the options to re-paint RefreshLastBar and not to RefreshLastBar.

Tekkies

You were wrong and you just admitted that.

TMSTDI_WatchDog does the job of both the TDI Red Green Post #25 and also the TDI Realtime version.

and even more, it will also show multi-timeframe TDI is another sub-window.

Tekkies

you did not know this.
we did a lot of testing and development of a new version of plamendp' TMSTDI_WatchDog in 2014.

I abandon that development project to focus on other more important things back then.

{quote} We had a lot of discussions on the TMS Watchdog back in 2011 and 2012. In 2014, we made a complete new version but later abandon it completely after one year. Since then we focus our time and energy to learn and read price action and use the simple TDI realtime version to confirm the price action. Its amazing that members are talking about old indicators posted all over the place in forums. Its going round and round for years with little or no progress.

About how Eric traded his TMS 5-Method, he was not a rule-based system trader. He was a rule-based discretionary trader who often did not follow 100% of his own method/system rules. Many people were confused by some of his posts and they have given up.
If Eric was profitable in that short period 2009 to 2011, then he belongs to that rare rule-based discretionary traders group.

{quote} "all these wicks up and down like you identified in hindsight " Do I understand you correctly? - When it is posted, any chart analyzing is done in hindsight. - When you do chart analyzing in front of a monitor on a live current chart it is current uptodate information. Sorry Iddd, to disappoint you, all chart analyzing is done in hindsight for the simply reason: You are looking at where price has been. The only current accurate detail is the open active bar where price is doing the MACARENA. ---- As to Somobeast chart,...
The answer is on the chart you did post with TDI cross overs marked by the yellow vertical lines. You did a good job.

i count at least 20 „signals“ where TDI green/red crossed on that M15 chart for EU where price moved on not even for a 10 pips.

I rather prefer getting only the 3-4 signals on that chart where you would have at least a swing for 2-3 hours moving somewhere even near a decent TP level for compensating all these tons of break even or SL trades before and after.

Now i don’t say it’s a problem of the TDI, it does what it does but like said I don’t get a personal advantage out of it entering and existing 100 times a week to catch that 3 out of 30 signals where price might actually moved in your direction without retracing just a 15 minutes later again.

So that’s what I mean, now imagine even getting called to the screens these many times per week because TDI crossed at you did setup alerts for it. If you manage to get out manually at break even for all these setups, good for you but don’t forget about the commissions you pay to the broker on every of these trades and don’t forget I am not trading on a cent account trying to compound my account for the next 20 years.

So its giving me no advantage here. Not with spending less times on a chart nor with anything else. And if you look at the EU or GU H4 chart for the last month you will notice even here it would have been a pain trading every of these TDI cross overs.

So why waiting for TDI giving me a signal that is for so many times not better than flipping a coin, so I can directly setup a fixed time for a day where I want to be active and just watch a naked price chart and enter 1 time per day at max. At the end of the week I either come out with a profit or a loss but I noticed my own instinct when and where to exit a trade ( even by doing that on a blank mobile phone chart ) is 10 times more predictable than waiting for that cross over signals the TDI is giving.

Trading with TMS_V19 EA semi-auto following TMS rule-based Discretionary trading style

Now that you know the reason why you should run the TMS_V19 as an auto-trading robot, you can make your own discretionary decision how you want to trade GBPUSD today and in the following days.

You see recent swing highs and swing lows region which can be potential support and resistance zones. Between those S&R zones there are also other support&resistance seen in lower time-frames charts.

But when I look at D1 and based my trade Go/No-Go decision, I can trade in the direction of the HA candles Price Action above it 5EMA and have my initial Stop Loss below previous 2 D1 candles Low. This would be the initial risk R in pips and using %risk of the account in $$$dollars, you can do your trade positions size.
One of the trade decision question is do you want to trade when the TDI Volatility Band is narrowing?

For you it is "slaughtering", for me every pip can be profit or loss.
True, about the commission, cent account, there need to be a balance.

Comm-on Iddd, what do you want? Everytime you enter a trade it must run "forever"?
Now concerning getting called to the computer that many times, those trade setups were done on M15
Either you have to accept the fact to be called (alarm) for a possible trade that many times on M15 or you need to change timeframe.
What I do know is that you can not have your bread buttered on both side. (One side will smear butter on your hand.)

Here is H1 for the same period. Does not look good! Blame EURUSD for going into consolidation.
Which timeframe (in this comparison) would have given you more pips? You have to decide what works for you.
