The full TDI has a lot more information about the price action and market conditions not just green line crosses red line.

See if you know the TDI well enough to avoid certain setups and you will have fewer losers. This is something Big E did not explain in his 463 posts in this thread. Those who follow his old thread back in 2009 to 2010 will know this very well.

hey Folks

That above by @tommydog... is not the essence of Trading Made Simple.

Trading Made Simple is how Big E traded his 5-Method which you will learn if you started in his old thread during the time when he was alive and helping traders in his old thread.

Until today, no one in this thread over the last 10 years have been able to trade his 5-Method because most new traders here spend too much time on the TDI .
You need to know Price Acting trading first before you can use the TDI as your helping indicator.

Read this post in the old thread.

gmcc,

Thanks buddy and I keep trying to help other traders make more pips without having to pay for a bogus trading course. People on our thread have some experience to succeed. This thread is not meant for newbies. Our thread is not about learning the basics of forex trading but it's about teaching a method to traders who are no longer beginners... but intermediate+ I guess.

Any newbies here... please go to www.babypips.com and take some time to learn about the forex market and how it's traded. It's important.

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.

@Tekkies

you have tried the same several times and still got it wrong.

you must learn to read the price action on the price chart above, look to the left ...

did you pay attention to Big E' post and study old charts for setups?

both the Stoch and TDI are oscillators, they tell their own stories about what the price has done... that is why they are known as lagging indicators.

we can trade price action in real-time live market using lagging indicators for technical studies. its not a problem.

If you can solve this then you will be able to pick the best setups like Big E and you need the patience of Job and Moses.

Try again!

{quote} Hey Emmanuel, whats up? Is there a chance to share those TDI indicators or the #post that they were? I'm lookin in the files and i couldnt find. After years trading with the method, you still think that FAST TDI is better than the newest version? Thanks!

hi @Parabellum

You are already trading well and making profits.

I don't think you should be wasting more time with so many different versions of the TDI when you are trading the H4 and Daily. The TDI is not going to help you make more money and grow your accounts.

Rather you work on different Money Management strategies to trade in different Market Type conditions.

I no longer need to TDI for my live trading since 2018. But I still have the chart templates which I will still post here.

I developed several systems based on the original Big E' 5-Method and we both have the same trading coach back in 90s.

With the original 5-Method, I use the RSI for technical studies and trade planning.

Use the platform' RSI to help you see the price MOMENTUM for the setups and for entry.

You may want to study and learn how to use the RSI by Andrew Cardwell and John Hayden. There are some materials shared in this thread.

RSI: The Complete Guide by John Hayden click to [download]

Study these charts below. Do you see the different Market Types and how I trade the Market Types I and II.

{quote} Hello everyone Tommy do you have TDI that cannot be redrawn ? maybe with alert?....thanks
Hi Robysunnen

You can set up the TDI green and red line using the built-in MT4 indicators, namely the RSI and Moving Average.

RSI 13 period
SMA period 2 of RSI as green line
SMA period 7 of RSI as red line.

The above setting can be done also on mobile MT4 if you are trading with phone while outside.

MT4 is infamous for its custom indicator issues due to its execution logic behind MQL.
If you wish to code alerts, My suggestion is go for other platforms. I use TradingView.

you can download the .MT4 TDI from post #25. The source code can be viewed.

trade well

I see you are having another mental meltdown here after 10 days of quiet.
You know it is Saturday and you do not have a life in Hong Kong when most young people are out of their tiny flats and enjoying their night life. How is your dad doing with his trading Hand Seng Index? Have you being talking to him and learning how he trade HSI for his retirement expenses?

Did you have a bad week at work with your lady boss giving you a hard time?
Or has your personal life created too many emotional problems?

I expose fake traders like you posting fake trades using photoshop edited MT4 charts.

Entries and exits...

We Enter a trade when green crosses red on the TDI at the beginning of that candle... If it's candle 3 or more don't enter... find another trade set up. The only exception is if green bounces off red and continues... it's ok to re-enter on the bounce...

Exit your trade when the green TDI line goes flat, starts to hook over or makes a check mark reversal.

If you add other things it will influence your decisions... usually to your detrament. Don't try to complicate it thinking it can't be this easy.

Important to study TDI entries on old charts, any time frame... Give yourself a chance and trade it like it's layed out...

@robysunnen

there are many different MT4 versions of the TDI by the creator.

there are also many other tools developed over the years to help traders learn to trade Big E' 5-Method.

Trading tools like the TMS_V19 Expert Advisor and also the @TMSTDI_Watchdog version of the TDI#25 are good tools to learn to use and use them when you are looking for trades.

Why did I discuss the TMS_V19 EA in this thread is because members struggled for years trying to pick the best trade setups and most of them lost money.

See this post #102,319 for the TMS_V19 EA.

The @TMSTDI_Watchdog is available for download {here} and has better features than the tradingview version.

Using TMS_V19 EA you can see a lot of information which you can use to make your trade decision

for example, the Slope of the Stoch and the slope of the TDI green line

you can compare the @TMSTDI_Watchdog which show the RSI green price line slope and also the bounce slope,
you do not need to make guess 12-2 ad 4-6, etc.

the TMS OSC Histo also show the real-time signal in the sub-window when the RSI green price line crosses the red trade signal line, ... in realtime mode.

a Trading rule is broken from the method you follow, you do not find reasons to place an order. You follow the rules, plain and simple.
