The TDI RED GREEN carries a common MT4 coding issue which is frequently discussed and resolved in the MQL5 forum.

BigE’s way of trading is an operational solution to the issue. This issue becomes obvious when not trading BigE’s way or by correcting the codes.

well, good luck guys.

Hello,

I am looking for an oscillator for tma-cg-mtf bands (or TMA+CG mladen NRP bands) that works like the oscillator Bollinger %b for Bollinger Bands (see https://www.mql5.com/en/market/produ...04%3abollinger).
Can anyone help me to find such oscillator for tma-cg-mtf bands, please?
Thank you.

Hey Folks

There is no flaw in the TDI. See this thread: https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...-simple-system

Trade what you see on your charts exactly the way the OP did when he was trading with his TDI.

Read, study his posts and take notes and you will learn the way he traded with his TDI version.

it is daily chart Us30. when market is not trending Lower your expectations take quick profit before winning become loser. 1 to 1 or little more if possible.
If lose few trade. control your self, control your ego.
wait for Better conditions.
when better conditions is come you will get more than 1 to 2 RR.
RR is important but, we have to learn to dance with the market.

More than 2 losing trade are here even if you identify the the slow market conditions and avoided trading that area. Some people thing volume or volatility indicators could help us avoiding that slow market conditions. In my experience I have never found any good volume or volatility indicators can do it accurately I have tried many. I found some volume or volatility indicators can identify some of the conditions but that indicator create more problem than help. when you lose few trades one after another don't try to cover the lose with big lot size because, chances are there that market conditions is not good now. stop trading come next day for better market conditions.

when your loss recovery is not done with in the day or with in the week you will feel stress but your have to act logically and systematically it is Holi grail of manual trading.

Nice so the issue is already resolved. Now study and follow #540. If readers would like to follow the GENIUS thinking the TDI in #25 is flawless, but don’t want to follow #540, then use the other versions of TDI is recommended

good luck guys if you want to follow the GENIUS

Hey @tommydogie

Your post confirms once again you young, naive and ignorant. Did you pay attention to the date of that thread and the contents?
this thread: https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...-simple-system

Did you read this thread's Post#1 and the update by the OP Big E here?
Did you read the Op Big E other posts in Forex Factory about the versions of the TDI he had being a subscriber to CompassFX and Dean Malone? He had the latests most up-to-date versions but yet in Trading Made Simple, he updated with link to Post#25 which is the original version he got back in 2006. Why?

You are still ignorant of the fact that the OP knew very well the TDI version which he had from CompassFX in 2006 and he developed his 5-Method and Trading Made Simple with that original version from Dean Malone' Synergy system.
You have have no idea how to trade with the original TDI indicator by Dean Malone was and what his intentions were when the indicator was created. It has been working exactly how he planned it and he explained in his trading room sessions and also in his tutorial videos back then.

Now you resort to name calling after you have been proven to be wrong about many things in this thread.
Your dad retired at age 60 , right? That was in 2019, right? In your eyes, your dad a GENIUS trading HSI for his retirement expenses?

How old were you in 2006?
Today you have less than 10 months experience trading forex. You started in Jun 2020 and still have long way to go unlike your dad.

Now, go home, talk to your dad . Learn from him , stop being arrogant puppy and learn to be humble.

#540 is a way to bypass the infamous OnStart() tick-by-tick update of array values in MQL4, since MQL4 does not have built-in mechanism to differentiate OHLC of the candles. Coders have to manually input [n] for n candle back.

How did BigE check charts before and after entering a trade? Knowing the routine will understand why BigE didn’t complain.

meanwhil, GU sell.

hey @tommydogie

You have questions ...

How did BigE check charts before and after entering a trade? Knowing the routine will understand why BigE didn’t complain.

1. Read Post#495
I choose my trades carefully making sure they meet the entry rules spot on... and pass on the iffy ones and go hunt other charts.

2. Read Post#1740
If you don't find a solid entry on candles 1 or 2... look for another set up.

Look... sometimes you come in and turn the computer on and notice a trade set up on the second candle... if all else looks good enter the trade. My main point is if you can catch it at the beginning of the candle then you have more momentum...


and...

{quote} Ofcourse TDI repaints, almost all indis repaint according to PA. When PA moves thats when the indis will show. So thats why made PA king. If we follow PA then we will know more or less know how TDI will look. so during the candle formation TDI will repaint but you have to analyze the charts and figure out where PA will move before it moves. This is where the basics come in play : 1. divergances 2. S&R areas 3. Fibb levels 4. wave analysis (higher lows and lower highs) 5.V.V..V If you analyzed the charts correctly you will see that PA moves...

some days like today the SHI channel works like a charm

GU Apr27 SHI channel

- the M15 swing low setup plus inside bar was good but you must learn to wait for the channel alert

- PA hit the top upper channel ... take profit!

{quote} I just use the platform' provided RSI(14) with a optional MA added to RSI data and use its 50-level. No need Overbought / Oversold levels. No need the old TDI stuff anymore. Simply look at the Price and Price Action, + with HA candles with 5EMA, Typical Price. Use dynamic support and resistance 10EMA,50EMA and 200EMA, + PPA previous price action swing highs / swing lows, + price Big Round Numbers and Round Number. Use Money Management strategies for different Market Type conditions. Taking clean trades would be a breeze.
Thanks Emmanuel ,
