Entries and exits...

We Enter a trade when green crosses red on the TDI at the beginning [the Open] of that [next] candle... If it's candle 3 or more don't enter... find another trade set up....
Quote
The only exception is if green bounces off red and continues... it's ok to re-enter on the bounce...

Exit your trade when the green TDI line goes flat, starts to hook over or makes a check mark reversal.

If you add other things it will influence your decisions... usually to your detrament. Don't try to complicate it thinking it can't be this easy.
Quote
Important to study TDI entries on old charts, any time frame... Give yourself a chance and trade it like it's layed out.

#6 is just one piece of the puzzle.

and there is Post#7612

WHEN TO EXIT -----------------

OK there appears to be some confusion here...

According to the rules you exit when the TDI GREEN LINE goes flat, check mark reversal or hooks over.... this is for the conserative trader and works great.

However.... note the blue box on the TDI below. See how the green line archs like a worm crawling up the red line without crossing red. You could have stayed in the whole trade without exiting until green crossed red finally.

Ain't it the same TDI cross and stochs direction he talking about. #3 candle means he missed the crossed. He said we should enter on candle 1 or 2, if its 3 candle we should look for another. But momentum seems to be so strong that it would keep going in that direction. Thats why he took the trade anyways

I have learned from all his 1485 posts and his 304 charts that he has many discretionary type of rules which are from his years of experience trading other systems and also using price action using the HA candles. There are many 'missing' pieces of his big puzzle and we are arguing in this thread day-in day-out.

Big E is a rule-based discretionary type of trader.

Study that chart in Post#351, you can do the exercise and list any five things you observed that support a trade entry decision using candle#3.

If you look closer you will see a bigger reason why a price action trader wouldn't take that trade.

Price failed to make a LOWER HIGH. Thats enough proof to a PA trader to pass on a trade cos price might want to switch from an downtrend to an uptrend or transition to a range. If he was actually using PA swing high 12345 method. He wouldn't have taken this trade.

Considering the fact that its 3 candle after TDI cross. The angle of the cross (momentum) made him believe price will break the previous swing low.

If he used PA he would wait for the swing low and resistance to be broken before he entered.

But NO he trusted TDI and Stochs direction which is what he shared and taught to everyone suscribed to TMS

Price Action is important too but Big E trusted the TDI more than he trusted price action. This entry is big proof

This is also coming from me a Price Action trader so I have good idea of what I'm talking about

(Very conveniently forgetting all other posts that say otherwise > #307 #665 (are some of them.))

My understanding of #2617 in short is how BigE study the chart (Price Action) that caused TDI to crossover.
1 TDI cross over. (I mark the bar with X (stop sign)).
2 Remove all indicators.
3 Study the chart pattern by using BigE's advice > post#261, #276, #309, #647 (some of them.)
4- Put back all indicators.
5 Move on to next TDI cross over.
- Repeat 1 <> 5.

- Plot an X on the chart on any date.
- Say "This bar TDI green cross red".
- Put TDI on
- Check if X mark the crossover.

@Tekkies

There is no twist how I read Big E post. What he wrote and what in on his training charts are all here for the members to read and study on their own and to learn and to develop their own trading system that fit them. You are pushing your own personal agenda here to promote your TDI Vline M15/H1 method which has no proven live trade profitable 12 months results.

You are the one who twisted this thread to be TDI green cross red trading which it is not the case. You claim to be trading green cross red and making 85% to 90% win rate which is a lie. You are making false claim about win rate 85% to 90% in Oct 2016 which is better than the OP' 85%. Clearly you are still lying after you lost in the XM competition in 2017. You also lost money in 2018, 2019 and also this year 2020.

This thread is not about trading the TDI green cross red. Any experienced trader following this thread know this very well.

You continue to mislead members here with that thread title Harris thread. That OP old thread is not Harris thread which is what you read in the BigE full pdf. That old thread as several systems/method and the 5-Method started in that old thread and that is where the OP added the TDI to his Stochastics trading. The TDI then was his 'helping indicator' which provided him a lot more information than what he already had on his charts then.

It has taken you 4 years that you finally start to mention the word MOMENTUM with TDI green line. You are the laggard here.

It is Big E own words when he posted that he can trade without the TDI.

Read them yourself and stop making excuses these posts are in the old thread. These posts are fact provided by the OP himself.

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.

#2617
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?

very good when you have your own clear written trading rules which are clear and simple, follow simple and clear rules will make taking trades a breeze.... that's the why!

I take many trades even when the HA candle count is 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 candles either above or below its 5EMA. The 5EMA is direction of the PA and the swing.

Example of Big E training chart.

How did I twist what I learn from his posts and training charts.

I see Emmanuel's point. But for people who don't know much about PA. They need the TDI. PA crossing the shifted 5ema reflects as green crossing red on the TDI. So trading with the 5 method is the same as trading with TDI just that one relies on TDI. The other relies on Price Action and bias trading.

You also need TDI for re entry trades through the bounce
Also TDI shows you momentum through the angle. Stochs shows you direction,reversal and can be used to filter out range or unpredictable PA when it stays with the OS and OB region or when it shows no definite direction.

Trading without TDI is good as long as you have the shifted EMA. But the Stochs and TDI give you a lot more information about the market. Thats why Big E always had them on his chart

Always trade with a Bias too. It helps

You are exactly right.

Initially, he said only enter on bar 1 or 2 because bar 3 is too far into the trend that goes 3-8 bars, typically. But LATER, he added the example where SOMETIMES he will enter on bar 3 if there are special conditions.

Most new traders would probably have better results by to sticking with bar 1 or 2.

Even if BigE did not use your PA logic and used what he has posted, which included looking at the highs and lows of TDI, then price making lower lows is not mirrored in the TDI lows (it made higher low) and before the last TDI high, it had made 4 highs that are nearly equal, with the last 2 even going higher. So those are indications against continued down action.

Therefore, if he followed his own rules and considered more than just the green momentum even though it was very strong), he would have decided that this is not one of the great setups, so would have passed.

How DARE you proclaim that TDI is more important than price action when the ToxicFakeTrader has declared again and again that PA is KING, and TDI is worthless!

look at the TDI moves and how it looks on PA so every time you see that same set up [of the HA bars] you will know your odds for success are high.

This is why BigE said he can trade without TDI: Because he studied and knew the correlation between the HA bar patterns and TDI green movement. For most people, it is simpler to look at the TDI than to look at the HA bars for the analysis.

But also note that he said that the TDI gives him a lot MORE information when it is displayed!

Post 2,617
study old charts for set ups...
What will be that set up? = post#6 "trade set up" = TDI green cross red
now strip down everything on that chart at that point...
Why strip the chart at that point? = To have a clean chart with no indicator's on them
Burn it into your memory
What must you burn to memory? = The candle formation, price action (whatever it may be called) how the chart look at that point.
- Based on how BigE looked at a chart: post#647 and similar post's
why? Read above..
Am sure reader know what are the "simple entry & exit rules".
- Are the "simple entry & exit rules" based on Price Action or TDI entry / exit (post#6).

Taking the above into consideration reader's will come to the understand why he could post in #11:
I just glance at the TDI for set ups when the new candle opens...
If I see a set up... green just crossing red I'll take the trade, turn off the pc and go to bed.
------------
If I see a set up... green just crossing red I'll take the trade
Reader's / new and old trades read that, eye's glaze over and they see $$$$. Start using TDI blindly and suffer margin call.
Who get's the blame? TDI.
Forgetting that it took BigE two year's (plus other previous years) to achieve that level of trading.
