{quote} It's nothing special, just trading a horizontal line at a specific time of the day and repeating a procedure by following a plan. For my taste it's easier than trying to follow some indicator that all it does it, well what does it actually? Some lines are crossing, you enter? Wait no! First you need to add a few tons of more subjective criteria/rules to it and make sure to have read all the 32928392 posts of the OP in blue Comic Sans and have trained your eyes for a 10.000 hours. You then even have to add more subjective stuff you first...

Nice. Do you mind if i get a little bit more insight about it?

I've found out that the more trading styles i learn, the better i get. Yours is very different from the rest. It's like Magic 100 (that failed me tho but its a good strategy)

Are you sure ? It sounded perhaps like he was implying, in his own way(im new on this thread), that trading the tdi profitably was unlikely.

{quote} @foxali300 1) you want to trade WTI then go to this forum: https://www.energyexch.com/thread/29...ading?page=445 2) you want to learn trading then better you use a computer with a bigger screen and not learn using handheld mobile. 3) you can use mobile to place orders but not when you are learning to trade. 4) the TDI you have on your mobile screen is not the TDI version used by the OP of this thread. if you use your mobile to place orders you can use the MACD with Price Action setup for trade entries and exits....

lddd :

Do that, show me your success with it.

- trade one forex pair
- use bigEs simple entry/exit
- do one trade per day
- Post that chart every day after the trade
- do that for 20 trading days
- share investors password for the brokers account so we know you didn‘t had 100 trades lost for that 1 cherry picked winning chart posted.

If you manage to do this for 100 trading days instead of 20 and still be better than 60% making that one trade per day entry/exit based on the TDI I am personally going to donate 1 BTC to that person.

{quote} @foxali300 You have RSI(13),MA(2),MA(7) ... this is Fozzy-RSI and still not the same as the TDI Post#25 used by the OP. Trading rules using Fozzy-RSI are not the same as the OP rules in this thread. Reason why many people lose money. You can use your mobile to place orders but not suitable for learning to trade and to do top down analysis. Place a MACD(2,13,7) on that chart and compare with Fozzy-RSI + Stoch(8,3,3). There are many members I know who are using this template with mobile trading.
Yes was I put rsi(14) but someone told my chance it!!

Like this MACD

@foxali300

your chart do not have the APB/HeikenAshi candles!

but that's OK. I can use your chart but please make a small change to the sub-windows.

sub-window1
- Stoch (8,3,3) with levels 80,50,20

sub-window2
- TDI using RSI (13) data with levels 70,50,30.


I look at trading top-down the same way when Big E started in Forex Factory in 2008.

1) Price Action , Support/Resistance

2) Stoch

3) TDI i.e. the RSI price line.

Simple 1, 2 and 3 steps.

Now, you go and

That TDI setting is wrong, it must be 13,0,34,2,0,7,0.

Can you download MT4 from your broker and download the indicators and template from post#25?
You can not do that Foxali it is of no use to even try learning how to use TDI BigE's way.

Introduction to Trading Made System

To learn what Trading Made Simple is, you have to follow the trading journey of the OP eelfranz aka Big E. He started as a newbie in 2008. Know the history and you will learn a lot from the OP and when you have mastered the 5-Method, you can then move on and develop your own trading system following how he did his. Many traders have moved on to trade their own systems.

Trading Made Simple for beginners : Post#52,707

A short history by pioneer member snarlyjack Post#110

Our late OP eelfranz aka Big E spent 6,000 hours: Post#6 and he evolved as a trader and went on and developed two trading methods.
5-Method and 21/233 Method Post#3018, Post#4104,

After months of postings and answering many frequently asked questions FAQs,
eelfranz made the jump to this new Trading Made Simple thread on 26 April 2011... Post#4432

In Post#1, he explained how he traded the H4 chart timeframe and he also traded the H1 chart during the NY session. This suited his lifestyle being retired and the time zone he lived. Sadly he passed away in Oct 2012.

Two very important posts: Post#261 and Post#647, give a simple summary of what this 5-Method is and the basic forex stuff we check before we look for the TDI setups to trade.

TMS 5-Method Basic Rules: Post#53,841
Always check the #1- Price Action first, then #2- TDI Post#3142
Big E wanted us to build this TMS thread together... Post#4,432

The original indicators and template Post#25
When you are overwhelmed (information overload) by the number of posts and the loads of information and variations shared by other traders here, the best thing to do is to stop reading and go back to the basics what Big E mentioned in his 463 posts in this thread and 861 posts in the CHS thread. First you learn and master the 5-Method first before you start add your own tweaks and make a new system.

Recommendations:
Read all of Big E posts... 861posts in the Craig Harris Stochastics thread and 463 posts in this TMS thread....and make notes on those training charts he posted. Pay attention whenever he mentioned PA and what you see on his training charts.

Learn the basic stuff about forex trading first. A good place to start is www.babypips.com/school

If you want to trade the way Big E described in Post#1, make sure you use his template , the Synergy APB / HA candles and use that TDI Red Green version. These are in Post#25.

Important to Note that the TDI Red Green version repaints all the bars in history so you cannot use this when you do back-testing by scrolling back your charts. The better way is to run this in live market and trade the TMS setups based on what you see without refreshing your charts. When you want to trade with entries on the APB#1 and APB#2 candles, always wait for the price bar/candle to close and use the TDI to confirm the setup.

Big E was a rule-based discretionary trader. According to studies by Dr Van K Tharp this rule-based discretionary are the best traders,

Enjoy and Have fun during your learning journey..

People come here blindly, not checking the conditions (reading the first few posts of the thread and then jumping ahead and reading posts from the last month or so) and how they compare today to the original content. An then SURPRISE!--discover that it is the ToxicDumpThread. If they are lucky, they get only minimal contamination and move on to a thread where the focus is actually on trading.

But they at least can see that they can don a HazMat suit and make a visit from time to time to have some good laughs.

GBPUSD Sep 16 M15 London Open

- was busy but I came back in time to watch the Frankfurt Open hour and spotted this nice M15 Price Action which was a pull back to the BRN 1.2900 and bounce off
- the Stoch cross signal was good
- also reminded me of Phx62 PCRF candle pattern
- entry was when LO first M15 candle
- quick TP1 +5pips, and TP2 +10 pips
- got stopped out by the price pull-back Capital Protection feature using THV Cavemanager +2pips
- nett winner for first trade today.
- this was a risky trade as the H4 HA PA is above its 5EMA and the D1 is small range to the upside which my preference is to look for buy... later!

Hi ShanA

You are welcome. As the OP passed away in 2012, there are still some members who are willing to jump in to help out the new comers.

I forgotten another great trader member RobinHood who started his TradingMadeSimple(r) thread.... link here:
https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...g-made-simpler

Also if you like to read more about Big E's posts, here are two pdfs compiled by other members.

Best of Big E pdfs ...click to download:

Best of Big E - Part 1

Best of Big E - Part 2

No to worry about the negativity you read posted by some members. Its not unusual in public forums to have such kind of people with different views and opinions. What is most important is to look at members and their trading.

Take Care and Trade Well.
