{quote} Nothing to be confused about, do what BigE did: Use post#25 TDI - refresh chart before even looking at the chart. > What happen on chart refresh: TDI candle 1 (active open bar) can change to candle 2 (move one bar back) #49.....That's why I want to enter on candle 1 or 2 if I see a set up. You insist, do this: - top right, click fishhook, sort any way you want: {image}RT > Real time. - Pick the one you like.

Hi Everyone, Can someone please explain me how to solve the repainting TDI ? Which version shall i use ? Im trying to found the answer by my self but the more i search on this thread the more im getting confused... thanks in advance
the more i search on this thread the more im getting confused
Sadly, addition of other indicators, EAs , and parts from other systems started shortly after BigE' s death and produced the CONFUSION such as you express exactly as BigE said would happen.

This thread has been perverted into the thread for daily laughs, not for serious trading discussions.

Along comes TDI with BigE's advice: {image} Someone is trading with TDI crossover!!!
Maybe that "someone" is trading the TDI crossover, but if so, he is doing it blindly without looking left and using the criteria that BigE gave. Because if he had used BigE's criteria, he would not have made a BEGINNER'S mistake of buying when there is strong resistance near. Then he went even further with his GAMBLING plan and bought again when price still had not cleared the resistance.

LOL. Beginner gambler.

It's easy for readers to understand why this poor guy with purported 30 years trading experience has spent the last 10 YEARS struggling with the 5-method and only recently declared that he FINALLY achieved the BEGINNER'S 65% success rate.

But one positive for him over those 10 years: He became a Photoshop wizard!

Hi Everyone, Can someone please explain me how to solve the repainting TDI ? ///
hi @Zakarh

The 'repainting TDI' was solved by the TDI creator Dean Malone when he released several newer versions. The last version was in 2011 and Big E also had this latest version and he did not use it.

se this old post #17,484

IF you want to learn all about the TDI, then this website is a good place:
https://forex-station.com/viewtopic....38#p1295362638

And if you want to learn about coding and the TDI , then this thread is the best in Forex Factory with members Xaphod, hanover, zznbrm and plamendp.
https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...-simple-system

There are 3 working versions:

1) the TDI in Post#25
2) TDI Realtime > { download }
3) @TMSTDI_Watchdog > { download }

///Which version shall i use ? ..///
test all 3 versions above and see which version you would trade live with real money.

And after one thousand trades and you will learn that Big E was right and he can trade without the TDI.

@TampaDave



Very good profits for a USD5,000 account.

You are using the RSI(13) MA(2) and MA(7) which is another setting for the Fozzy-RSI. Many traders use the RSI(8) /MA(8).
Fozzy-RSI will update its MA(2) and MA(7) on every price tick unlike the original TDI in Post#25 which only updates at the Close price of the price bar.
This is one solution for traders who do not like the TDI#25 and the repainting of history bars.
When using the Fozzy-RSI , the Price Action is more important and the slope of the MA(2) of theRSI(13) is not critical in the setup candle.

I notice your broker has 24 H1 bars on Saturday Nov 06. Which broker do you use?
My broker has only 16 H1 bars and the gap between Nov 06 16:00H and the next day Nov 07 Open is quite large.

hi @Zakarh

Important that you first read all the OP Big E' posts in Forex Factory and learn everything from what he shared. Do not limit to just reading his 463 posts in this thread.
The 5-Method started in his old thread and the discussions were moved from the Commercial forum to this Trading System forum for good reason that more people can learn.

Also key, is his Post#281 and you have to follow this post and do your Demo trading and build confidence.
Trading the 4hr during the London session would also mean you follow the basic H4 Price Action mentioned in Post#261 and you can trade H1 setups between London Open till London Close. Avoid trading H1 after London session closed except on days when the US market is trending.

Do not trade against the H4 conditions as in Post#261 and you will have fewer losses and your wins will grow.

Trade Well and Trade Safe.

You live in the French part of Switzerland, how far away from Zermatt?

Stay Safe!

Today’s first trade was executed midway through the 1H candle. PA made a strong move through the 5ma, the rsi made a strong cross to about 1:30 and the Stoch had confirmation. I was hesitant in the execution because this was the first time I entered mid candle. As it turns out, the PA of the previous candles and the strong 5 cross was the driving factor. The fluid rsi to 1:30 was viewed as confirmation.
….first time midway on 1H. I used 1H and 4H for my setups on previous trades but always checked the 30m for confirmation for entry.

Everyone that comes here can obviously see the friction between some of the members. As a newbie, I have no interest in getting in the middle.

At this point I am working off of what I read of BigE’s original posts. I find myself teetering between what is a sweet spot that is working quite well and the thirst for reading more and more. I have, so far, resisted the urge to delve deeper in an attempt to not fix something that isn’t broken. As mentioned earlier, I am pretty well versed in market structure and “reading” the crossovers of various indicators. Perhaps that is why the basics of this system are working for me.

I certainly appreciate any post that links the reader back to those original posts. I believe all members are doing their best to bring people along and find their success. For that, I am truly grateful. To avoid confusing and turning away other newbie’s, it would be helpful if any recommendations are in fact linked back to BigE’s original teachings.

To RSI(8) / MA(8) we can add MA(20) (on RSI) as well. Useful in many cases.

Hi there, Dave.

Judging from your forum name, I am guessing that you are from Tampa, FL? If so, I don’t reside too far from you. Welcome to FF, and good to hear of your success and good spirits with this method of trading!

Yes, this thread is both sad and hilarious at the same time (quite the paradox), which is only possible, because Big E passed away before he could lock it down. I am pretty sure he would have if he only knew what it would become.

The interesting point you make about trading TMS, is that YOU are making it work for yourself. Most people come here wanting to hear that all they have to do, is wait until the TDI green crosses red, and have a corresponding HA bar to go with it, and presto, they have a bag full of pips. It doesn’t work like that, because the TDI, Stochastic, 5 ema+2, and HA bars are only ingredients for a soup. The remaining ingredients, and personal skill/knowledge necessary to make a delicious soup, are left to each individual to pursue on their own. Big E couldn’t transpose his entire method and unique approach to anybody else, just as a few of the traders that have found success using his core techniques here, can’t implant their skill set into the people who come here.

This isn’t a jab at Big E, or anyone else here, that is trying to teach this method, but I have not really seen anybody demonstrate a wholesome and systematic approach that can be easily applied with success by neophytes. Not only that, but people are using other indicators and tools, which makes the method THEIRS. That in itself proves that if you are using these indicators successfully in your trading, then only YOU and your past experiences, current skill level analyzing charts, psychology, money management, etc., are the sole reason for that success, and why most others are not able to copy that. They either don’t have the necessary skills, OR this trading approach just isn’t a fit for them.

I have found plenty of useful bits and pieces here, that have given me some “aha moments”, but I can honestly say that I can’t really give credit to anyone else in particular. I give credit to myself for being able to separate the wheat from the chaff.

Good trading, and continued success with YOUR version of TMS!

Hi emmanuel7788,

Thanks again for your kindness and your knowledge, I have downloaded the "BigE Full.pdf" It's my new Bible
Gonna read it again and again until i have it totally incorporated in my brain !

I'm living near Lausanne City it's about 3 hours from Zermatt, ( Switzerland is small contry so everythings is closed ) .
It's a beautiful place but you can't drive with your own car to Zermatt cause they are not allowed in this street, you have to take a train at Brig to get there.
also it's one of the best place to make winter sports

If you have the chance to visit Switzerland one time you should visit Saint-Moritz it's a really nice place where you get amazing view on Mountain.
Thanks you again, Have a nice evening
