What has changed to the way you were trading. Can you put the chart up and show me your entry and exit and also why you wouldn't have entered with your previous method. We can all do with some idea from you

Taking a look at EU and GU you will notice both pairs are making HH and HL..If you are a trend trader you should be looking at longs unless you are one of those top and bottom pickers and end up with smelly fingers,,I might take a trade later on during NY/LON. session {image} {image}
EU hit the level I marked on my chart, need to plot levels for next week. GU was close but not there yet..hope you guys did not try to pick the tops

Very basic backtest using 6 months of data on GU if anyones interested. To be honest I totally forgot about the EMA but might include it in a more refined backtest in the future. {image}
The TDI has the wrong settings on it.

Just double checked, yeah your right mate, was a totally wrong TDI, I didnt even notice that it was "TDI of RSX" (i just grabbed the first one I saw, turns out its completely wrong.

Thanks for pointing that out

{quote} Yeah totally wrong TDI mate, dont know what I was thinking Trades were entered after the green crossed red and the open of the very next bar to confirm the IDI cross. I didnt give refreshing the chart any thought tbh mate...its soft4x so it just paints each bar and repaints the TDI as it goes in live time. I will remove the post and redo it properly with the correct TDI as I now notice the two TDI's are completely different and showing vastly different signals. Thanks for your feedback
Make sure you use the original TDI version the OP Big E got from CompassFX in 2006.
That's the version in Post#25.
Make sure you use the 5EMA, Typical Price, Shift+2 and the APB/HA candle Price Action.


Your six(6) months system strategy testing should look like this below:

How did you re-freshed the chart during back-testing?

hey @Tekkies

Do No bother with switching computer off and on.
These days with better computer hardware technology and very short bootup time, people leave the computer on all the time. You can consider the power management options and let the CPU to sleep mode without restarting and re-initializing your PC.

There's no need to think of refreshing your MT4 charts. It does not matter when you follow the price, its price action , look at recent price action swing highs and swing lows for the support and resistance, look at the price round number levels 00 and 50, look at the highs and lows of the TDI, and also look at the market volatility and the TDI' volatility band , etc. ALL these things are basics newbies must know.

Do Not forget Post#261 and master seeing that on your charts.

TDI versions compare:

GBPSD USD H4 charts - TDI Red Green and TDI RT compare:

Here is a GU H4 chart screen shot at the NY close hour.
Chart A is realtime without refreshing the chart.
Chart B is after the chart had been refreshed, both the TDI looks exactly the same.

Note: when you change the TF on your MT4 and make screen shot of your trade in different TF , all the indicators data will be recalculated hence the chart will be refreshed. The price action remains the same!

Below I am comparing the two versions of the TDI posted in this thread.
1st is the TDI Red Green used our late OP eelfranz.
2nd is the TDI RT (realtime) by X-man from the TMS H1 thread.

>>> Update your trade setup and entry rules according to which TDI version you use.
