Live Trading Heiken Ashi +TDI Strategy Test

Thanks again. I just wondered where you got the idea of trading H8 or H12. I followed the original TMS since post 1 and liked the way to check the higher TF (daily or H4) but trade the lower (H4 or H1).
Many people tried M30 or M15 - even M5. Also trading indices, especially Dax, I rarely noticed here.

Remark regarding following TDI signals: Ending a trade early already once TDI has hooked?

Thanks

The idea was from stock index futures in the 90s. I read some books and manually backtested 10yrs of daily and weekly charts.
Those lower TFs are way too messy for me, they also require me to spend countless hours watching a screen everyday, in case something happens.
No thanks.
Sure it works for some, but not for the vast majority.

As for the DE40 chart, I won't close the trade unless it's stopped out or I get an opposite signal, 2 red bars, crosses yellow MA or combination.
There's always a bit of discretion. With a 700pt profit I can afford to hold a stop back 100pips.
I note the TDI crossing on the chart, and I may look at it again during the day


The HA saves me time working out numbers and where to place stops as it keeps me away from the actual price action.
At first I had to get used to being "away" from price, now it doesn't matter.
btw I moved the stop up after seeing the red bar.
It's not a cross until the bar closes and it had 7hrs to go.


And looking at it today price went back up, and the TDI has a slight cross. Not enough for me to close the trade.
There's always discretion of taking some profits though normally I'd done that already by this stage.

And so it's again all blu skies as the 17th bar closes blu again. While I look for other things to occupy my day after checking charts and adjusting stops.

Give it a try and see how it goes. You're welcome to post here if you wish.
I does take a little while to get used to, but not as much as people here say. A few weeks should be enough.

Finally got a close signal on DAX. US 30 still going.
The trend following strategy has performed well but we haven't had big market swings lately.
HA+TDI strategy is at about 10% for the month.

And long again the DAX as markets push up again as Nov come to end on a high and above expectations.

For anyone reading what I'm doing is actually much simpler than what you see on the "Trading made Simple" thread where they have al those lines on the charts and EAs.
The charts posted is the onyl thing I look at.
Probably get more views if I rename the thread Fibonacci Master Waves Analysis so many peple hooked on complicated confusion.
