Codifier friends, Could someone modify this indicator, so that we can change its place and add the stacastic in the same pattern?

And if possible, that we can select the teams we want: Example: I want only H4, D1, W1 AND MH to appear.

I believe it would help us.

BigE's Trading Made Simple uses the TDI red and green line as the primary tool, being the heart of the method.

#119
On this method the TDI is King. All trades are signaled by it as well as exits... does that keep it simple. Only red and green lines (double thickness) and remove the others... cut out any possible confusion... make it simple for YOU !

#647
When wanting to enter a TDI trade... take a moment first to observe basic 4x things... like:

How close am I to the previous high or lo

Am I in an uptrend or downtrend.. short & long term...

Am I in or close to a consolidation area

Are the previous candles small...

Look at the candles on the last reversal... big, little, what

How does the momentum look right now (12-2, 4-6)

Does Stoch's confirm the TDI signal



Just follow the simple Entry and Exit rules

It is simple to follow BigE's Trading Made Simple method to trade. After a while you can start stripping down the chart and still able to trade.

You can use a phone to do market analysis and trade. There is no difference from doing it with charts on a PC.

If you are unable to trade BigE's TMS 5-method with a phone, you should question your own skill rather than the devices.

GBPUSD, buy entries based on the TDI green cross red and PA analysis.

A total of 4 valid TMS 5-method entries based on TDI green cross/bounce red at different timeframes (15m to 4H). Detail in PM. All TP at 1.374 and hit. TP being there because of HTF price structure analysis.

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.

#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...

I profit every day by using Stochastics. I hope you will too. It's just part of the puzzle.

For the ignorant and naive newbie,

here is how Big E started in his old thread after attending seminar when he was trading Craig Harris Stochastics Method. He added Synergy' indicators and he did his own system development by blending components of different methods/systems and created new ones. He also added the 5EMA Typical Price, Shft+1(+3) from another system - make a guess from which trader who is well known for his Displaced Moving Averages.

Big E took the Synergy trading model and he stripped some of the lines away because he was partially blind and to simplify his charts due to his poor eyesight (he woke up one morning and he lost about 70% of his vision).

You still do not understand Big E' Trading Made Simple which he trades with his 5-Method.

Why do you have your 3 EU sell positions open for more than 9 days?

You still do not understand his Post#119?

He would close his trades at 6AM his local time. Why? Answer is in Post#119.

I generally quit trading at 6am Pacific (9am est). Why? The market might cook some for the next hour or two but unless there is a hot news announcement during the day... the market pretty much peters out and ranges... I don't want to be trading in that junk. Thats where dealers make most of your money is ranging markets and 5-15 min time frame trading... you got to quit trading those trash time frames. Granted there are 2 out of 100 who can Kick bootie there but chances are your in the 98% who can't. I hear it over and over traders complaining that they have 2-3 years experience but can't keep their head above water... always losing or just breaking even... or worse...

the APB colour is simple

if APB Close > APB Open means bullish
if APB Close < APB Open mean bearish

but you still need a filter for Big E' 5-Method REVERSAL candle setup APB#1 to use as entry. This filter is explained in his old thread.

do not confuse Big E' 5-Method REVERSAL with Craig Harris Stochastics True REVERSAL candle.
do not confuse Big E' 5-Method REVERSAL candle with Synergy reversal setup candle.

DO NOT mix rules from different methods when you trade Big E' Trading Made Simple with his 5-Method.

Hi Solorik,

I had a discussion with a couple traders regarding this when progressing our Trading Made Simple in terms of stripping off indicators (#2617)

Note that BigE mentioned HA and ABP.

ABP is an improved version, created by Dean Malone. According to his description, ABP candles skew candle open and close towards high/low to reduce wick size.

We have validated that using the original HA candle equation, which is made public, can effectively determine HA/ABP candle color used by BigE's TMS chart setup. Reason being if the ordinary calculation of HA candle determines color change, ABP candles which exaggerating open/close distance will also determine color change. So it can be applied to manually determine whether the candle is red or green

Trade well

Now, understand the formula of HA candles, you can estimate the Open and Close of current and previous candles. Just like this. Slight variants of HA does not affect the final candle color.

Some traders are obsessed with "Experienced traders" and cannot free from their own devils to learn the fact and the true TMS system. Others should appreciate their contribution to feed winners in the market, and making up the statistics of losing traders.

This is a typical useless answer from people who has no skill in MQL4.

Synergy ABP is a proprietary candlestick type. In all SynergyABP .mq4 (well they are the same file), the actual equations are encoded in the "Synergy_ABP.dll" imported to the MT4 at line #22.

Snyergy_ABP.dll is not made available to be downloaded and viewed the source code. Hence the actual equations are not obtainable by viewing the mq4 source code.

I imagine some non-coders have no idea why .dll files can be imported but not downloaded simply not knowing how .dll works. But that is not related to this discussion.
