Don't be fooled by this member @Tekkies making false claim the TDI is his Holy Grail...

His 5,000 trade losses shows that he does not understand the TDI is a lagging indicator.

He does not know how to trade with lagging indicators.

He still need to learn a lot how to read his candles.

You just fooled yourself with the threads' titles.
Obviously you did not read the old thread and this new thread, and cannot see the jump from the old thread to this new thread.

Introduction to Trading Made Simple

To learn what Trading Made Simple is, you have to follow the trading journey of the OP eelfranz aka Big E. He started as a newbie in 2008. Know the history and you will learn a lot from the OP and when you have mastered the 5-Method, you can then move on and develop your own trading system following how he did his. Many traders have moved on to trade their own systems.

Trading Made Simple for beginners : Post#52,707

A short history by pioneer member snarlyjack Post#110

Our late OP eelfranz aka Big E spent 6,000 hours: Post#6 and he evolved as a trader and went on and developed two trading methods.
5-Method and 21/233 Method Post#3018, Post#4104,

After months of postings and answering many frequently asked questions FAQs,
eelfranz made the jump to this new Trading Made Simple thread on 26 April 2011... Post#4432

In Post#1, he explained how he traded the H4 chart timeframe and he also traded the H1 chart during the NY session. This suited his lifestyle being retired and the time zone he lived. Sadly he passed away in Oct 2012.

Two very important posts: Post#261 and Post#647, give a simple summary of what this 5-Method is and the basic forex stuff we check before we look for the TDI setups to trade.

TMS 5-Method Basic Rules: Post#53,841
Always check the #1- Price Action first, then #2- TDI Post#3142
Big E wanted us to build this TMS thread together... Post#4,432

The original indicators and template Post#25
When you are overwhelmed (information overload) by the number of posts and the loads of information and variations shared by other traders here, the best thing to do is to stop reading and go back to the basics what Big E mentioned in his 463 posts in this thread and 861 posts in the CHS thread. First you learn and master the 5-Method first before you start add your own tweaks and make a new system.

Recommendations:
Read all of Big E posts... 861posts in the Craig Harris Stochastics thread and 463 posts in this TMS thread....and make notes on those training charts he posted. Pay attention whenever he mentioned PA and what you see on his training charts.

Learn the basic stuff about forex trading first. A good place to start is www.babypips.com/school

If you want to trade the way Big E described in Post#1, make sure you use his template , the Synergy APB / HA candles and use that TDI Red Green version. These are in Post#25.

Important to Note that the TDI Red Green version repaints all the bars in history so you cannot use this when you do back-testing by scrolling back your charts. The better way is to run this in realtime live market and trade the TMS setups based on what you see without refreshing your charts. When you want to trade with entries on the APB#1 and APB#2 candles, always wait for the price bar/candle to close and use the TDI to confirm the setup.

Big E was a rules-based discretionary trader. According to studies by Dr Van K Tharp this rules-based discretionary traders are the best traders,

Enjoy and Have fun during your learning journey...

No matter what Vincent post, he can not change what BigE has posted, at best all that he can do is to twist / mangle them until they fit his agenda.
#261 .. The TDI is the heart of our method. It tells you when to enter and where to exit any trades... so review previous posts and learn it good

Have a nice day korosh.

hey @Tekkies

You do not follow Big E' posts #261 and #2617

Your sell entry is very late. Remember the rule is to enter on APB/HA candle #1 and #2.

Study the H4 candles ... Lower Highs>Lower Lows + Lower Close

Anyway, you posted clearly this: Remember the rule is to enter on APB/HA candle #1 and #2.

Now that I highlight your entry, all of a sudden readers must read this / read that as to why your own entry was at the close of candle#2.
You are making excuse for your own late entry.

@Tekkies

Obviously you still do not understand Big E' 5-Method after 7 years. You got the S/U candle wrong, and the APB/HA candle count #1 and #2 count also wrong.

7 years deep down in your failure made you too comfortable.

No thank you.
Prefer a chart where you can see the candles.

Nice and clean like BigE has posted.
Post#1... I wanted a method that was simple, worked on all timeframes, simple rules, few indicators.... that when looking at my simple chart it just shouted out what I needed to do and developed a method that is 70-80%+ wins for me on a regular basis.

Hey Folks,

This is a perfect example when the member @Tekkies did not read all the OP' posts and ignored those posts where he said when to trade and when not to trade the 4hr candles.

The market is very demanding and brutal when you do not learn from the OP's posts and follow the obvious most beneficial to learning this method for higher success.

@Tekkies

Did you read the candles correctly?

What did the TDI say about the candles?

The market sentiments is bearish during the London session and you buy against the bearish market sentiments.

That type of trade has negative Expectancy ... high risk low reward... zero statistical winning edge.
