- waited for the price to fall back to 33840 and a m2m3m15 setup today

- need lots of patience when trading US market indices, trade when the price is right!

TDI is the heart of the 5-method. When you use it correctly, as BigE taught, and rely on TDI green cross red as a signal to examine entrance criteria, such as the green line slope, bar sizes, support/resistance, etc., you will profit long term as he did.
Although BigE said that TDI is at the heart of the system, he also stated the HE can trade the system without it.

However, it's [tdi & stoch ] 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.

But remember, he had many years trading stocks and other instruments before he started with Forex. He also spent 2 years to develop his 5-method. Therefore, it is clear that he has a vast amount of experience that produces intuitive recognition of setups for entries with high probability of a successful outcome. But few readers have this background and experience, hence, are not at the point in their trading journey to be able to successfully execute the 5-method without indicators.

In fact, BigE said that even though he can trade without it, he PREFERS to have the TDI displayed on his charts, even when he trades methods other than the 5-method.

I almost always have the tdi & stoch on all my charts regardless of the method being used.

If I were to pick two [indicators to display on my charts] it would be the tdi & stochs.

So, do not be fooled by people that tell you that YOU can trade the 5-method without the TDI, because it is highly unlikely that you possess the knowledge and experience that BigE had.

And remeber, even BigE PREFERRED to have the TDI and stochastics displayed on his charts!!

Excel is the go-to "programming" application in businesses worldwide because it is much less intimidating than learning a formal, general purpose programming language. The majority of business users use rather simple calculations. Some more advanced users upgrade their skills to pivot tables, various lookup functions, etc. And for some even more advanced needs, they learn some VBA.

For any kind of serious automated calculations in trading, if you intend to interface with Excel, then it would be a far better use of your time to learn Python to perform your calculations and then send the results back to your MT application. MetaQuotes Language leaves a lot to be desired anyway. We got stuck with it simply because MetaTrader was the first charting application that was free for the retail trader, and it got adopted by many brokers.

Unless you have some compelling reason to use MetaTrader and you intend to learn to do some scripting, then you would be better off to migrate to another application that has a far better language.

My advice is not to pay for Excel at all. Use a good and free alternative as Google Sheets (I use it myself). It's easy to script and if you want you can use
Python as programming language (Google Sheets also support other programming languages). Here is a list of alternatives to Excel :

hi Sagor482

I know that you do not 'hope and pray' because you follow Big E 4H trading.

"I hate trading 5min-15min-30min charts. Why? You have to monitor each trade from beginning to end and hope and pray you made a correct entry. I only trade 1hr charts during the the 1st 3 hours of the USA OPEN and 4hr trades at night. I check for set ups at 10pm Pacific,2am and close all 4 hour trades by 6am Pacific.... You ever woke in the morning popping on your puter and find you made 150 pips while you slept... guaranteed to put a smile on your face and a skip in your step."

that is in Post#1

My TDI on AUDJPY H4 also has not crossed down yet.

But really, that is not so important for me because the RALLY progressed to the H8. So the H4 is not the TF of interest, anyway.

if you use the same TDI #25 the green price line would tweek from 4 to 8 and the price action also shows good price momentum.

you are using the TDI realtime version and the slope calculation is different.

You should expect to run into some drawdown, or even get stopped out if you have small stop., because the H1 is overdue to end this down swing. But if you stay in the trade, you will eventually go green because the H4 is turning down, plus, this down action is continuation of the down trend/down swing of higher TFs.

Really, which version of an indicator that you decide to use does not really matter, as long as you use it consistently. Similar to broker feeds. It does not matter that your broker starts his day at a different hour than another broker so that the price bars do not look the same between the two brokers. As long as you consistently use the same broker feed, it really doesn't matter what happens with the other broker feed.
