TDI is just a helping indicator ... see Big E Post#202

Good Morning Everyone... Thanks for all of your posts and help.

This thread is about The Craig Harris Method really using the TDI as a helping indicator to guide us for entries & exits to completion.

For anyone who knows me... you know I'm always testing, tweeking, etc. to find improvements.

Well, the other day I added the Synergy channel on my 15 minute charts (5 SMA/Hi & 5 SMA/Lo) doing some more testing. What I discovered was by blending the two methods together... One is always confirmation for the other.

Sometimes the Synergy makes the entry call first and sometime Craigs makes the entry call first.

If the TDI is only a helping indicator, then you don't need to use it when you have the confidence to trade the 5-Method without any helping stuff.

Big E on you can trade without the TDI

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...

#296(Nov 4, 2008)
I profit every day by using Stochastics. I hope you will too. It's just part of the puzzle.

LOL,

You are picking bottom. That's not how Big E trade.

He would not trade during the Asian market session open.

He says make the transition to trade the 4hr during the London session and you can make $500 to $1000 per day.

More I study chart more I understand TDI is funny indicator, It will give you C++ entry setup most of the time.
Those who love TDI in 2021 either they are newbies or they are ignorant about market.

May I know the reason please.
I don't see any pivot, I don't see any ADR level, I see it is previous day high.

There must be a proven reason, for taking sell I want to know it.

Oh yes I see monthly Classic, pivot R1 there, is that the reason for sell

{quote} hi 808 nice username "808" handle. I got to know "707" in the 1980s when I started out trading the stock markets. "707" was my senior alma mater and he became a millionaire trader, grew his family business and passed on his wealth to his children. Sadly, some of his children squandered the wealth in very short time after "707" passed away. Fortunately, "707" has a prodigal son who turned around and he is now the scion of the business and is thriving again. about the TDI, it is just one of several trading tools the OP...
Thanks for welcoming me, Emmanuel! Thanks also for sharing the story of your mentor, “707”…what a great coincidence of handles that we share. I have read all of Big E’s posts years ago, and came to the conclusion that he probably should have warned people that they should learn some basic price action, BEFORE trying to use the TDI in their trading. So many people fizzled out of this thread, and wound up joining the next “get rich quick” thread, or quit posting on FF altogether. Even in SnarlyJack’s last two posts (before he suddenly disappeared), he stated that he was pretty much a Price Action trader, utilizing TDI for signals. Anyone who knows PA can look at where all of the “successful” TDI crosses/turns occur, and see obvious patterns that coincide with those signals (sharp reversals, consolidation breakouts, continuation patterns, etc.) TDI and Heiken Ashi charts CAN help with timing trades, but only if you take the most sensible signals according to confluence with the current PA environment.

Read and study BigE's posts and charts. No wonder you always chasing the price and go into drawdown.

I don't worry about PA crossing the 5 ema. I totally depend on the TDI for my entry signals... Always entering when green crosses red and only on candle 1 or two depending what the TDI shows... otherwise I pass and look for another set up...

{quote} If you read BigE’s posts you should know Trading Made Simple is not trading every TDI green cross red, with good reasons and analysis. good luck
Thanks for the feedback! I probably should have elaborated more when I posted, but kept it too short and to the point. I have read all of Big E’s posts, and a few others, like SnarlyJack for example, and had noticed that they were actually primarily using PA, with the TDI as a visual “confirmation” for them. They DIDN’T need it, and I was only trying to make the point that a lot of inexperienced or new traders were mistaking the TDI as some magical and shiny gem that would solve all of their trading needs, but a lot of them were not well-learned in the PA side of it. So, in a sense, the title of the thread, coupled with having no real primer on PA to go with using TDI, sets most people up for failure…which is what happens to most, anyways.

Responding to Post 124,097 would be like "feeding the troll".

Let see what els BigE posted in this thread
#2....... 1st Trading Chart... Note on the TDI showing your entry set ups...
#6...... We Enter a trade when green crosses red on the TDI at the beginning of that candle...
#6...... Important to study TDI entries on old charts, any time frame...
#11... I just glance at the TDI for set ups when the new candle opens...
#11.... look at the TDI moves
#51... TDI... and I removed all the extra lines to make it easy to look at and trade...
#51... use the TDI the same way I do either...
#52.... Which direction to trade the TDI... Is it going up (long) or coming down (short)... that's the direction to trade.
#115.... Here is a training chart... yes, yes, yes there are many trades on it but look at the TDI Blue boxes.
#117.... Every red vertical line denotes a proper trade set up on the TDI... There is 16 total.
#119.. Kept working on the TDI honing it to the maximum simplicity possible

In fact TDI is mentioned 188 times by BigE in this thread alone excluding other threads.
> Remove TDI/Stoch only 4 times.
Selective posting to promote own personal agenda???

Like this one:
Of course the TDI is on time. It follow the price and its price action.
> TDI follow close price, therefore it is lagging ....

Only have to ask: Which comes first, price or price action?
> price action follow close price, therefore it is lagging ....
