{quote} {image} TDI Red Green vs TDI Vline ... they are different. "If your not happy please contact Dean. Thanks, Big E" https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...02#post3306202
And it does not matter that they are different. Just as the RSI(3) line is different from TDI green (with default settings) which is different from RS(13). But they are all three based on RSI. What matters is if the user knows what to do with the indicator.

It was the OP Big E himself who said you can trade without the TDI. Below are his posts and note the day,month and year of his posts.

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.

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.

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?

1. Anything can happen.
2. You don’t need to know what is going to happen next to make money.
3. There is a random distribution between wins and losses for any given set of
variables that define an edge.
4. An edge is nothing more than an indication of a higher probability of one thing
happening over another.
5. Every moment in the market is unique.

Of course it is. We rarely are interested in a single moment. But Truth 4 is a subtle indication that very SIMILAR things occur. So when we "string together" several unique moments, we can find similar strings of unique moments that lead to an edge.

Amazed at what get's posted. Read this book, read that book. Do this, do that. BigE has posted enough information in this thread to understand how to use and trade with TDI. Everyday the same proceedings: - Follow TDI. - With every crossover: -- Enter when you clearly see green on the side of red at the beginning of that new bar. -- Angle above / below 12 / 2 or 4 / 6. -- Stoch confirm direction. -- Apply post#647 to make sure of the fact's you see. The more you follow the same step's the easier it will become to spot (glance) the right TDI set-up...

Tekkies

I see on your chart the TDI Red Green responds to the price action better than your crap TDI Vline.

Big E used the TDI Red Green version in Post#25. That is the original 2006 version from Dean Malone, CompassFX.

Around Around On The Merry Go Round ... and still the same my conclusion:

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.

And right there, folks, is why the TMS-V19 EA CANNOT help you with your winning edge: The EA uses TDI, and TDI is not in the winning edge equation. Therefore, drop the EA.

Similarly, BigE himself said TDI is at the heart of the system (TMS). Therefore, TMS CANNOT help you with your winning edge. So no point in you continuing in the TMS thread as part of your search for your winning edge.

So you assume I want more examples.

Oh yes, how do you know TDI V-line is crappy or which TDI indicator is used in that post?
Did you use it yourself or was that post meant to start a other popcorn fight.
