Look at the top image with only the indicator. There are 3 verticals at an indicator crossover to consider.
Furthest on the left: That is a possible buy, but I typically do not take that one because it is a trailblazer, not a continuation entry. If other factors are positive, then I would take the buy, being aware that a retracement is highly likely very, very soon.

The middle one is a definite buy.

The right one is a definite buy.

And after all of the lines exceed about 80, I see that I need to move to another TF

And now the view with the HA price bars included.
So did I need the price bars? No.

In this specific example, do I need the indicator? No, because the HA bars are sufficient. But the indicator gives me information about 3 TFs, whereas the price bars give me information about 1 TF. So in the long run, the more limited information provided by the price bars would result in more low probability entries.

@Tekkies -- I know you can't read source code, which is always your excuse. Software executes a sequence of coded instructions. If the coded instructions do not go back in time to change visual markings then the software does not go back in time to change visual markings. There's no magic. There's no voodoo. The software can only do what the coded instructions tell it to do. And the coded instructions are written in an English-like language called MQL4. If you can read English then you can read source code.

@Tekkies -- you still don't understand how MT4 works and anything / everything you don't understand you attribute to repainting or refreshing. Rather than acknowledge you don't understand something and make an effort to improve, you take the lazy way out and blame the tool. Which is fine -- we all do that at times. But the problem as I see it is you then attempt to hide your incompetence and post comments pretending to be an expert -- and that contributes to the ocean of misinformation that surrounds forex trading. A humble or modest person would quietly go about their business and try to improve themself without plastering misinformation in a trading forum.

Wow, @DrDick -- nice post.

@DrDick -- you are a very strange fellow. No doubt an experienced trader, but that axe you keep grinding and that idiot you keep enabling expose your internal tension and conflicts.

Mostly you are driven by your hatred of @emmanuel7788 -- but then, occasionally, you'll post something of value. That's in contrast to your nurse @Tekkies who only posts pablum and your other nurse, @mosiskv, who is too afraid to post and hides behind a tree "liking" / "disliking" other's postings.

<quote> https://forex-station.com/viewtopic....38#p1295362638
....
One common complaint over the years was that the indicator repainted - which was true and this was a major issue for backtesting as the indicator appeared to be untouchable (like all repainters) but it was hardly an issue if you were taking trades at the "Close" of the candle on higher timeframes such as the 4 Hour, Daily and Weekly charts.
...
Which official TDI indicator works the best?

The original TDI (2005) works the best for higher timeframes (4H, Daily, Weekly & Monthly) wether you use the original or a non-repainting version such as the TDI RT (Real Time).
For intraday trading and smaller timeframes (1 Hour and below) the TDI Pro (2016) version works the best.

@Tekkies

Keep on writing Tekkies, the more you write the more you show reader's how little you know and how stupid you really are.

That website link which you provided clearly provided the correct information and it is fact that the original TDI (2005) is a repainting version, which means it repainted the lines when MT4 is restarted by the trader, charts refreshed by the trader, MT4 to its broker got interrupted same as disconnected and reconnected to its broker server (same as restarting MT4).

The three non-repainting versions are shown in the screenshot in my post above also taken from that same website: https://forex-station.com/viewtopic....38#p1295362638

- the TDI-RT
- the TDI_RT-Synergy_Pro
- the TDI_RT-TDI_Pro

These three TDI versions listed above are different from the OP Big E version in Post#25 in this thread. We shall refer this TDI as TDI#25 to clear when we talk about trading rules and Big E trading style.

You have no clue what you read.

See this Big E post below. Pay attention to details what you see. Not everything are written and explained in words.

@Tekkies -- though this post is a response to yours, it really is intended for other readers and to correct your misinformation regarding TDI and repainting.

According to BigE's methodology we look for green-crossing-red, right? We also look to enter 1 or 2 bars after a crossing, right? If TDI repainted you couldn't do that. If TDI repainted it would be meaningless to look for crossings. If TDI repainted it would be meaningless to talk about entering N bars after a crossing. An indicator that repaints can not be used for signals. The fact that BigE and others have used TDI to look for candidate signals is a very strong indication it doesn't repaint. And to prove it doesn't repaint all you have to do is look at a few lines of source code -- which, of course, you won't do. Or, if you can't read source code, then simply simulate incoming OHLC bars by running it in Strategy Tester. Instead you keep proclaiming that TDI repaints. I'm not sure why -- perhaps as an excuse to hide some of your incompetence.

@Tekkies -- you claim that you use TDI for trading forex. Either you are lying about that or you are lying about TDI repaints. Which one are you lying about?

@Tekkies -- since you and @DrDick are attached at the waist, then I'm sure he cringes everytime you upload a new post because he knows the stupiid shit you post also rubs off on him. So, @Tekkies, please make @DrDick cringe again...

@Tekkies

You made a mistake in your old post #73,461. The TDI #25 is the repainting version. The Op Big E was very clear about this issue and he clearly explained in his posts. You are still confused and refuse to admit you mistake with the real-time versions which updates on every price tick received by the MT4 terminal.

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.


May 16, 2011
#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?

Read above...

I can take you to water but I can't make you drink... follow the simple entry & exit rules. Forget other indicators. I went down those roads so you wouldn't have too...

@Tekkies -- MACD (2,13,7) uses similar algebra as TDI. Are you also going to claim that MACD repaints? MACD is one of the "built-in" indicators that is included with every MT4 installation. Are you claiming that MetaQuotes includes repainting indicators with MT4?

@Tekkies -- I'm sure you believe you know more than MetaQuotes and the thousands of traders that have been using MT4 and MACD over the past 20 years. You don't know how to code, you can't read source code, you don't know how to fully use MT4 and you don't even know how to use Strategy Tester to backtest or check for repainting. Yet you insist you know more. As you are fond of accusing others -- keep "flapping those lips".

@DrDave -- you really set the bar rather low for your groupies. Before releasing them into the wild to post on your behalf why not provide them with some basic training? Are you the one who planted in her head that MACD (and TDI) repaint? Or, maybe, you also don't know what repainting is and whenever your chart does something you don't understand then you, too, automatically call it "repainting"?
