Hi Tekkies I have marked all the possible trade entries. I will open trade after the candle close. Are all of them ok, If not which one is not ok and why you think it is not ok. {image}
You are paper trading. Trading TDI signals won't make you a FTMO trader.

FTMO Challenge is about live trading in real-time live market conditions.

FTMO' 10% per month(20 trading days cycle) is SMART therefore you need to be a SMART trader. Don't follow the blind. The TDI is not Holy Grail. It was all hyped up at one time and never proven in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and now 2020. Follow someone who has done the SMART way over and over again.

Hi all the good people around FF especially in this thread. I want to update my situation here, As you know I am going to take the prop firm Challenge soon. I have almost developed my trading Strategy, I have to test more and more to improve it. I should say Improve my understanding of the system and different market conditions with the same system. I will not trade a few specific market conditions because my system could not perform well in those market conditions. I have decided to be more focused on the 3-time frame but from time to time I will...

{quote} Tekkies, All this year I don't understand one thing that is TDI angle above/ below 2/4. what is TDI angle. Do you know TDI angle change After a big move. I think so because I don't understand the TDI angle. According to your comment, most of my trades are good, I have done a backtest where I found the win rate is 46%. probably if I understand the angle I could improve winrate.
Good example of someone who is too lazy to read the basics of this strategy. spoon feed doesn't work in the long run.

@hasib

do you know the origin of the 12-2 and 4-6 angle?

who started this 12-2 and 4-6?

If the TDI 12-2 and 4-6 angle is a problem, I have the same solution which Big E has.

Big E you can trade without the TDI

use the common indicator RSI available in your trading platform. Do not add any moving average to the RSI data. Just use the RSI as it is.... RSI(14), RSI(13) RSI(3) its your choice.

That's a Keep It Simple solution.

Before call me lazy ask yourself are you daydreaming, If TDI worked so well people already make EA with this indicator. Here in FF lot of good coders available, they will not test other systems because some people claim TDI has a 75% win rate. Too good to be true.

I believe there are some people trading TDI successfully not because TDI works well because they learn to trade the market. They become the system. In the coding world or logical world, TDI is just an indicator. that has a less than 50% win rate. Yes, sometimes win rate increase when market conditions are good. I see your trading since 2011. are you become rich trading TDI ask your self you will find the answer. There is a lot of new traders they will win with TDI for Few months or at best for few years after that they will lose money.

I want to give you an example there was a period when a certain system with BB performed very well now that the system doesn't work like before.
Is the turtle trading system work like before. Please don't' argue with me. Arguing with me will not make your a profitable trader. you have to be logical and you have to choose good tools over bad tools as a trader. If TDI is working for you use it. I test it I don't feel confident in TDI. I will read more about TDI if I found TDI has Good edge I will use it otherwise I will drop it. Like other indicators, I drop before.

If you all know this already why are you asking what the TDI slope is for or how to use it?

My honest advice to you

Write down on a piece of paper

- what are my preferred trading times?
- what are my goals?
- what is my willing allowed risk?

Based on this information you might want to pick one market then you want to start trading or better said start watching for the times you are free to do so.

Forget about all indicators, methods, systems and what ever else crystal ball you might heard of (clear your mind from it, really CLEAR it)

Set a small minimum target you want to achieve consistently „on average“ per day over the long run.

Maybe something like 1 Pip / day.

Have a simple candle stick chart opened on what ever time frame you prefer to look at / sweets you and add nothing to it.

Now every day you come to your chart you simply trade what you see / interpret by YOUR OWN eyes.

This requires that you develop YOUR SELF a simple entry trigger.

If the trigger appears you enter the trade.

If you make your daily goal you stop looking at a trading chart for this day and come back tomorrow doing the same.

If you don’t make your daily goal and reached your max allowed risk for that day you stop looking at a trading chart for this day and come back tomorrow doing the same.

Now here comes the magic, take note.

You do this for let’s say at least 60 trading days (about 3 months) before doing anything else or even think about doing something else or changing/adding to your „system“.

What you will learn in these 3 months is by far more important than from what you might have wasted your time otherwise with by reading through the endless of trading forums and jumping from system to system.

Big E made money everyday using the Stochastics ... that was Nov 04, 2008. { here }

He hope you will too. It's just part of the puzzle.

TDI alone cannot perform. It requires the Stochastics, HA candles and 5EMA, and price action, and support & resistance, and lots more.

the OP' latest update trading chart template in Post #25

he has total 19 templates which he would consult when he sees TDI cross that doesn't look good.....
he has many trading habits like for example he would check everything when he was not sure of the TDI and wanted only to pick the best setups.
other habit is he would look at PA first then TDI and other habit is he would look at TDI first then PA.. it all depends on the situation he was in.

Brother EM thanks for sharing.
I have good news I have got a 58% win rate in the same semple.
Hope it will continue in other pair and other market conditions. I have to test my current ideas.


I will read mehdi343 work. After eyeballing Mehdis work it seems interesting. After testing my ideas I will work on Mehdi's idea Let's see how it performs.
