{quote} Hi solorik, What is your reason behind knowing the equations of APB? If determining candle colour manually, #122,861 would work well. The APB equations are proprietary by the inventor, so although there are ways to find out the actual equations, I will not share here. trade well
first of all many thanks for your help sir
i point is to determine manually the BreakEven point ...
i want to determine manually the price that represent breakeven point which if the price closes above the candle will be blue and if the price closes below it will be red

in other word
this is the equation for HA Candle

""Heikin-Ashi (平均足, Japanese for 'average bar') candlesticks are a weighted version of candlesticks calculated with the following formula:
Open = (open of previous bar+close of previous bar)/2
Close = (open+high+low+close)/4
High = maximum of high, open, or close (whichever is highest)
Low = minimum of low, open, or close (whichever is lowest)"""

Now I need the equation For ABP Candles...

@DrDave
Thank you for answering my question.

I am a bit surprised that there are no valid statistics.

This is one of the biggest threads in ff forum and no one is

really interested in the performance ??

I didn`t expect this..

Is there any reason why there are no more "investigations" on success rate etc...?????

Because either no one is confident enough to open a Trade Exploer to demonstrate it or no one is successful with it or if anyone is successful, he simply does not care about posting statistics.

{quote} "3. (TDI on #25) It repaint." YES! That is correct to say the TDI in Post#25 used by the OP repaints when charts are refreshed. The above is fact and that @Tekkies' Post#73,461 is incorrect and he provided misleading information to people in this thread. {image} And the question is, did the OP know that the TDI#25 he use is repainting. YES! In his old thread, he replied to another member Magnum. "The TDI indicator continually updates and that's why you see those changes when you switch timeframes... that's a good thing. More current information."...
You are WRONG again.

You are so ignorant that you don't know about Repaint, Recalculate, and the need to Refresh.

{quote} My biggest doubt about these TDI image is if the smoothed version it repaints. {image}
Hi Romulorios, your smoothed version indicator is very likely to be Repainting indicator
Repainting: When a new candle forms, the values of the previous candles are changed. The smoothed version indicator repaints every candle to generate a smooth curve. You don't need to refresh the chart to see repainting happens

"The TDI indicator continually updates and that's why you see those changes when you switch timeframes... that's a good thing. More current information."
Recalculating:Indicator value for the current candle updates (recalculate) at each tick. Most of the indicators recalculates, from simple built-in RSI, MA, to custom indicators that has no pause functions in the OnStart(). Basically, all TDI versions mentioned in this thread are all recalculating

If I see a set up... green just crossing red I'll take the trade, turn off the puter and go to bed. Four hours later (1:50am) my alarm goes off for the new candles and I take a peek
Refresh-needed: The TDI Green Red indicator used by BigE has an issue which is common for custom indicators in MT4. Briefly, the immediately last candle (candle 1) has the wrong data referencing, unwantedly taking the current candle (candle 0) into equation, the result is a wrong RSI-MA (green red line) values that skewed towards the last candle (Close of candle 1 and first tick Close of candle 0 is very small unless gap during market close).
Observations you can make: 1) At first tick of a new candle, when the candle 0 becomes 1, its indicator value suddenly jumps instead of the expected fixed. 2) you need to Refresh the chart so the indicator can show the correct values of previous candles.


Some traders trading for years, has no knowledge of repainting. That's why I either not mention the term (like the previous reply below), or "repaint" to go along, simply because knowing old dogs cannot learn new tricks.

Trade well


3. (TDI on #25) It repaint. (<< Mentioned by Hasib in this post)
Fact: Indicator shared at #25 is a TDI indicator with slight coding flaw leading to wrong reference values upon candle close when new candle forms. Operational solutions include trading the H4 and "turn off the puter" in between sessions, so chart is refreshed every time during market analysis as of BigE's trading routine. Another solution is use indicators that can correctly cache the values.
Fact 2: TDI green and red lines are RSI MAs. Both RSI and MA are non-repainting at nature. You need to study the concept of RSI and MA

Hi Solorik,

I see. I worked on calculating the TDI crossing price, that one is more challenging. APB breakeven is easier

The equation should be
Close(current price) > or < (((Open[1]+Close[1])/2)-0.125*(Open+High+Low))/0.625

If you are writing a script, then prior to this a bool to distinguish previous candle color to use the appropriate equation.

Trade well.

Hi Ryang123,

Totally agree with you. We have seen so much bickering and irrelevant topics in this thread.

We should focus on BigE's Trading Made Simple.

TDI green and red line
PA analysis as of #647
No EA
No additional indicators

And a long-time FF member has mentioned this... #119,629

yes Most of the manual trading system success come from pure luck. after a period that winning edge end.
Traders think they got edge, after few trade win. A dog can win if you give them 2 option to choose buy or sell.
He told every one he has exit problem. But the truth is with out exit there is no system.
I told here TMS don't work.
People come here to make fun. Most of them are not profitable trader. some of them use other system with EA. No one trade TMS.
people will not learn anything from here, will learn most of the things that don't work.
If there is a Profitable trader, That trader will not teach you anything here. It is just entertainment place for some trader.
Many senior TMS trader keep emmanuel7788 in their ignore list. I have see few of them too. Because He don't teach what he knows he try to make confusion by posting different kind of gambling EA. If emmanuel7788 took good responsibility and keep sharing his method in his own thread he could be the most respected person in the FF. But it did not happen. Lot of people hate him In FF.
Truth is no one teach you anything you have to learn from your mistake.
when I started posting in this thread one years ago, I thought EMM is good trader why people come here and attack him. Last 1 years I have seen many post of him. He don't act as a senior trader. Because of supporting him I create many enemy in FF.

I think those who claim their success but unable to show current statistics are just liars. They don't trade TMS anyway, just using gambling EAs.

I only use BigE's TMS method to trade live account ($4k then scaled up to $20k from May). Below is my performance shared with Ryu 2 weeks ago.

Attached Image (click to enlarge)
Click to Enlarge Name: e48c1a2ae2beebce0a12cb9ead993674.png Size: 94 KB

I follow BigE's TMS rules as below

The way I practice TMS can be found in the following posts by BigE

1. TDI is heart of the TMS 5-method --- #261, #2617
All trades I share here are signaled by TDI green cross /bounce red

2. I work with time frames and time of day that suits me --- #644, #1170, #4470
I usually trade during work hour because of my privilege at my job which I have a lot of free time. Sometimes at night because it is London/NY market time when volatility is high. I like Lower Time Frame because I prefer quick-in-quick-out.

3. I use simple PA analysis that everyone can learn --- #276, #647
I prefer leading ones which I can anticipate TMS TDI cross/bounce setups to catch the swing in early stage like BigE demonstrated in his charts

4. Aligning with the discussion of this thread during BigE's time, entries are the main focus --- #495
If I have other aspect of trading to share, I would go to other related threads. I hope readers in this thread can receive concise and relative information in respective thread for efficient learning

5. I apply the correct use of TDI Green & Red lines --- #11
#11 has clearly shown that BigE refreshed his chart before viewing the chart. Traders who want to learn and practice the TMS should 1) refresh the chart before analysis, or 2) use a non-repainting TDI Green Red indicator. I chose the later.

6. Absolutely no EA --- #802
Two reasons: 1) To respect the thread rule. 2) If you need to rely on EAs to help you become profitable, i) Your trading skill is so-so at this stage, and ii) you will never learn the discretionary analysis that can further improve your trading skills

7. Most importantly, I participate the forum with respect --- #486

Have you validated the TDI indicators you obtained as suggested by Kirinda and Tekkies?

I use RSI and MA to construct the TDI green and red lines on MT4 platform. I also use TradingView because of their script compiling logic that has no issue of tick data referencing problem like MT4 in #122949

Interesting.

I don’t use any custom MT4 indicators. And for TDI green red I use the built in MT4 indicators namely RSI and MA.

Alternatively I also use TradingView for charting. It has the script compiling logic that does not cause tick data referencing issue like MT4

{quote} What for? This thread and the indicator BigE used is post#25 TDI Red Green not TDI RT version. What happened to Watchdog TDI? Let me guess.. It followed the same fait like all the other indicators you posted in this thread >the short road to the dustbin.

"What happened to Watchdog TDI?"

@Tekkies

I think you refer to @TMSTDI WatchDog by plamendp, right?

I still show the @TMSTDI_WatchDog when I post my chart with TMS_V19 Information EA like today's ***LIVE Trading ***

This @TMSTDI WatchDog by plamendp works the same using the source code of the original TDI Red Green in Post#25.
plamendp added a few nice features to show the slope calculations instead of traders having to guess the clock face 12-2 and 4-6. It also show the bounce as a value. Plus he added the APB info details like the APB body size, upper wick and lower wick length. ALL these extras make the trader's life much easier and no more guess work.

See my EurAud chart posted this morning.

I like to trade the H4 chart. Are there any proven statistics on using this method? Thank you. (I hope this is not a stupid question...but couldn`t find an answer) I know every trader deals different with it but maybe there are some experiences. Is the H4 timeframe the best for this method? (or another one? )

"Are there any proven statistics on using this method?" YES!

4H Swing Trading using Big E' 5-Method is profitable provided the trader knows the Market Type conditions and plan his trades according to the Market Types.

I did post trade results in 2018 when one member invited me to post in that thread.
https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...0#post11834080

That 'competition' was a one time only because that thread' OP only asked for one full year trading results and he did not continue in 2019 and 2020. I have my trading journal for those years. I am running a new 3-year trading cycle 2021/2022/2023.

My main trading is medium/long term swing trading using Daily and Weekly charts technical analysis. I have my own system strategy for this and use the same Big E' 5-Method. From my own experience and trading performance, I know swing trading performs better than those short term day trading and scalping which is more popular for a few traders here. But the Op Big did warn people about trading any timeframe below H1. He was not good at short term trading and he was honest about that.
