Im just used to working with MAs, and other indicators, and price action, and money management, altogether. But for certain strategies, Ma crosses arent often relevant in the end. Number of cdls above or below a certain MA along with other indicators reactions to price often end up having much more importance in the end. I am slowly figuring out if it is the case here. But right now I'm focusing on the tdi indicator's cross in relation to the price action (in its whole). Especially when it is making nice higher highs and higher lows after every...
You have discovered an important relationship. Now also compare the TDI higher highs (lower lows) with the price highs (lows).

{quote} "So why don't we just use which ever works for us?" That is the problem Nat. I use TDI, you use 5EMA, our indicator junkie use what he use. One member does not think like that > Either you agree to Price Action trading or suffer repercussion.
But if EVERYONE would stick with what BigE said near the beginning of the thread and treat TDI as the HEART of the system in THIS thread, using the green cross red simply as a SIGNAL to evaluate the entry criteria and then make a decision, there would be no discussion of using some other indicators as anything mre that part of the entry criteria to be evaluated.

Also, if EVERYONE would stop ADDING indicators and criteria from other systems and threads as BigE said, there would be far less resulting Toxic Dumping here.

Im using ONLY TDI indicator cross. So you dont need to worry about me dumping all kinds of unrelated stuff here, except of course 99% of my posts which are 101% unrelated to trading, but that I got from you all who were here before me. What is the name of this virus ?

Nope! I sell only the real deal with certified quality. If it is leaking, then someone has either accidentally damaged it, or someone intentionally sabotaged it!

{quote} Sorry, let me rephrase False signals meaning signals leading to loss.
But you cannot know that the TDI signal will lead to gain or loss at the time the signal fires. It is NOT the SIGNAL that determines the ACTION that you take: YOU make a DECISION based on your entry criteria.

For EVERY TDI crossing your entry criteria might result in making an entry. Similarly, your entry criteria could be such that you NEVER make an entry.

If you are diligently watching for TDI signals, then the only correlation is between the signal and you taking some action. (Your action could be to ignore the signal, so "no action" is also an action.)

{quote} @Tekkies -- for the record... There is a difference between repainting and recalulating. Recalculating occurs at Bar[0]. Bar[0] is the current bar. A bar is represented by 4 values -- OHLC. Open / High / Low / Close. An Open price is carved in stone -- it never changes, even for Bar[0]. Bar[0]'s Close price changes with each tick. Bar[0]'s High and Low may or may not change with an incoming tick. So, during Bar[0]'s lifetime the HLC are subject to change -- and this is all fine. This occurs with *EVERY* indicator. When the current time frame...
Keep it short and sweet.
Recalculating occurs at Bar[0].
Repainting occurs after Bar[0] has become Bar[1] or Bar[xxxx].
> ZigZag indie is a good example ...........
----------------
"With regards to EAs and backtesting -- you absolutely can use TDI. To minimize the phenomenon of recalculation that occurs at Bar[0], most EAs rely on Bar[1] for their signal -- and this holds for TDI, as well."

Don't think so Robots4me.

Check post#25 TDI IndicatorCounted()
limit = Bars-countedbars-1;
for(i=limit; i>=0; i--) (for RSI)
for(i=limit-1;i>=0;i--) (for red and green)

That - 1 and counting from history start till the current moment shift Bar[1] back to Bar[0]
That will mess with any EA's brain.
(I stand to be corrected.)

{quote} @Nat.Fx -- dude, no it doesn't. You continue to make claims about repainting, yet you really don't know what it is nor could you explain it. @Nat.Fx -- prove me wrong. Please explain to us what it means when an indicator repaints. Algorithmically, I mean. An indicator is a simple algebraic formula. Please explain to us all what it means when an indicator repaints. Furthermore, you have the source code for TDI, so it is simple enough to check -- or, if you don't understand source code, then ask someone who does.
Actually, ALGORITHMICALLY, some indicators DO repaint! That is, after bars have already CLOSED, an indicator changes value for some of the closed bars. For example, TMA.

We dont know each other and this is not a serious thread, so its completely useless and baseless...
This is the ToxicDumpThread, and has been for quite a while, where people come for a daily laugh, not serious trading discussions.

Also you guys shouldn't pressure or attack anyone for slightly editing Big E's system. Phil edited the strategy slightly to suit him. If i or anyone else do the same, it doesn't make me or them disobedient or non-chalant. Big E and I are two different people with possible different trading persona and preference. You don't expect me to just use the strategy directly, word for word, I'll have to tweak it to suit me better. With my experience, The best and consistent trading results comes when you trade with a strategy you are comfortable with
Are you serious?
Try that philosophy with Emmanuel.

Love this thread, Love the peeps I met here. Just to make peace with everyone here and also Big E's ghost (yes Mtako, you made me feel insensitive to Big E for not entering on TDI cross+stochs for confirmation).

I am gonna enter on TDI cross this week and if it works out well. I'll keep using it. If it doesn't, I am very sorry to Big E as for everyone else here. ********** yall .Ill be off to 5 EMA entry.



Goodnight Y'all. Have a good Saturday and Sunday. See yall tomorrow or Monday

Is it really worth while to respond to Post 108,752? Don't think so. ---- This is what BigE has posted concerning 5EMA. #718 At one time I used the 5ema in a different way. Back then if a candle closed across the 5ema it was the set up candle. I would enter the trade at the beginning of the next candle if it was the same color.... and that still works... this is more conservative... I am more aggressive now and noticed I was giving up some pips doing it that way so I changed...

I think it is worth while to respond to Tekkies' post #108,755 and expose him again how he hijacked the OP' post #356 post and chart to mislead people to his "professional" hindsight trading the green crossed red in price history chart.

That post #356 was posted on Apr 28, 2011 and is a Daily chart ... its was a real-time live chart and the candle still active. It was a day after a major economic event and New York closed at 5PM EST.

A pic is worth a thousand words:

Lies, lies and more lies > hindsight trading green cross red.

If you are looking for a version to work the same as the original Traders_Dynamic_Version (the same TDI Big E used Post#25), then only the Dean Malone' programmer has that one for MT5.

There are already 3 versions posted in this thread which are not the same as TDI#25.

However, you trade higher timaframes, so you can trade without the TDI. Use RSI(nn)/MA(nn) which works in realtime mode.

Friends, you must know. Over the years of using this system, slightly edited I have officially made over 1 million dollars in profit this past week. I'd rather not bring money into the topic, but I can honestly say it is too exciting for me. Starting out as a garbageman, then leaving it behind. Took a chance and it worked out. You will never get a mentorship from me except tips. You will not know my thinking. You will never truly know Big E's thinking. I thank God for big E to point me in the right direction and use the system to my advantage. Everyones...
one millions dollars in the past week ...

then anyone wanting to make one million dollars must start as garbageman (Tekkies' logic thinking)

another will say "to make one million start with two" and how true is this?
