{quote} What type of strategy is in this thread? - That which members post? - That which BigE posted? Good example: I tried to find in the history the meaning of " m2m3m5 setups”. But somehow i was not able. Could you please show me the link where you explained this setup ? Now a flood of unrelated posts will follow about m2m3m5 which are timeframes that BigE did not even looked at.
of course the original TMS strategy that BigE posted, i mean i dont care if his strategy still profitable or not, someone who posted in this thread should be learn or trade BigE strategy, if someone had improvement of BigE strategy then go make new thread, i dont care if the new improvement make his strategy more more profitable 1000x better.
bigE allready died (Rest in piece) we all should respect him,
If he still alive, we dont know if someone posted new strategy/improvement in his thread he will be happy or not.

I can't agree with you more. Been advocating that since early this year.

Some trolls take it too personal and now they project their hatred towards me and some others. Well that is up to them I just focus on learning Trading Made Simple method at its rules laid out by BigE himself.

As of profitable or not, I do believe each trader have their own performance different from others.
It's like driving, we all know the rule of going at green light, some go faster, some slower, etc, but all following the same set of rules. But some troll think they should change the rule, adding crap indicators, or even advocating no watching the light. Completely irrelevant to the original rule. That is what happens here in the last few years.

I think the worse part is those "evolution" worsens the performance. Gambling EAs, crap indicators, etc. Using fancy names and dashboards to prey and lure innocent readers but the actual performance is miserable and inconsistent compared to BigE's Trading Made Simple. Maybe 1000x more likely to blow accounts.

What one can do is filter out noise and false information in this thread and obtain the actual knowledge. There are content filter functions on FF for you to ignore or focus on certain contents. Or you can help submitting clean-up reports should you see members having mental breakdown and use foul languages. For example what happened earlier today.

{quote} Big E is the big deal. {image}


For this I totally agree with him.


The way I practice TMS can be found in the following posts by BigE, No need to add any more craps like gambling EAs and indicators.

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


Adding crap EAs does not help improve your trading. Set and forget SLTP you can maximise your odds and profit. Trust your analysis as a TMS trader

#1718
All this extra crap does nothing but confuse other traders and their success rate drops and they can't figure out why...

Everyone - Please stop adding anything... stick to the SIMPLE BASIC RULES.
That's what makes it work !

Can someone link me best TDI indicator for tradingview and best non-repainting indicator for mt4 rn, please?
Hi Altyncent,

I use TradingView, below is the suggestion I gave to others previously
There is no Best TDI but accurate TDI indicators. Because TDI green and red lines have the default setting everyone uses.

Stoch and 5ema are optional indicator and they are built-in indicator available on Trading View.

TDI Red/Green line: They are in fact RSI(13) MA(2) and MA(7), You can verify it by looking at source code of TDI Green Red .mt4 source code.
You can use the "TDI - Traders Dynamic Index by TuanLouis" by searching for this name in the Trading View Public library.
You can then set to only show the Green and Red line (fast/slow MA) and change their colors, etc.

For HA candles, I recommend to overlay HA candles on traditional candlestick chart just like doing it on MT4.
To do so, search for "Heikin Ashi by Garethyeo" in the public library.

TradingView has one advantage of non-repainting indicators stays non-repainting, unlike MT4 where you need coding tricks to overcome it. Therefore, you do not need to follow #11 and refresh the chart everytime when new candle forms for correct analysis

Trade well

TDI is indeed an RSI.

I made a couple of variations in the past and end up with something dynamic. IHMO, I only use the TDI based on the current price action and not looking at the previous red or green line positional angle, crosses, and levels. Thus, the variations I made are dynamically changing the period settings which are based on the period of dominant cycle ─ lectures (Homodyne Discriminator) by John F. Ehlers. Along with the dynamic bands or zones (outside bands & midpoint) based on Dynamic Zones by Leo Zamansky Ph.D. and David Stendahl.

And in confluence, those ATR /ADR or range values (reached or undervalue/overvalue) with Forex currency pairs is really useful while being aware of a possible change with the current (or forecast) market conditions and/or the current trend (based on order flow) ─ These makes a big difference in terms of the execution of entries/exits or managing your existing trades, and of course in terms of TMS method by Big E. Hence, some are successful... and some are not.
...
...
...
However, the current variations I have are completely out of scope with Big E's TMS. How I wish that he's still alive so that he could at least take a look at what I made.

R.I.P. Big E

Good to see you stayed, Lynnc. You could definitely beat that FTMO challenge by trading this method carefully. Good decision on closing your short GU trade, as not only is it at support shown on 9/8, but also on 9/1, which shows me that this could be the bottom of the current price range. Good luck, and enjoy the “entertainment” alongside the education!

As davit said, Choppy market trading is profitable. Yes I agree with him Choppy market trading is more interesting.
Thanks goes to Davit, I have started thinking differently.

I am sure Big E would try your newer versions the TDI.

We all knew him and he was always testing new stuff, tweeking other systems & methods, ... and finding improvements. Members in his skype group knew he mentioned an advanced method he was testing in Jun 2011 but he did not live long to share that with us.

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

An advanced method would be without the TDI when I followed his trading development closely here in FF.

Thank you for the kind words. I certainly think I stand a good chance of doing it with this strategy, as long as I stay focused. I am aiming for an average of 1% a day for 10 days trading so today was a good first day to the free retry I'm now on, fingers crossed for the rest of it.
