Emmanual,

New here, and wanted to post a big thank you for keeping this thread going.

Looks like a system that's got some serious rope - so I'm going to keep studying and learning and will be back to help you keep this thing active.

Until then - keep it up - it's great to see.

Cheers
MrP.

I have been reading the thread for some time, but this is my first post as a member of the community.
As the original poster of Post #1 has sadly passed away, I assume it can no longer be updated.
However, I believe that the trading rules should be consolidated in Post #1.
If that is not possible, then rather than unnecessarily increasing the number of posts, it would be better to summarise the key points in one place.
I hope this post can serve as a catalyst for that.

Indicators Used

  1. Heiken Ashi (default settings of Synergy_APB)
  2. TDI (default settings of TDI Red Green)
  3. Stochastic (8-3-3-HL-Simple)

Time Frame

  1. 4-hour chart

Trading Window

  1. From the start of the 4-hour candle just before the European market opens, up to the third candle

Currency Pairs

  1. Monitor 8 pairs, mainly focusing on USD pairs among the major 28 currency pairs

Buy Entry Conditions

  1. Confirm a reversal signal using Heiken Ashi price action.
  2. For example, The candle before the reversal should be small, and the reversal candle should be large.
  3. Entry must be within 1 to 2 candles after the colour changes from bearish to bullish.
  4. The TDI's RSI Price Line must cross the Trade Signal Line from below.
  5. The TDI cross should occur around the 32 level with a steep angle.
  6. The Main Line of the Stochastic must be pointing upwards.
  7. The Stochastic cross should occur near the 20 level with a steep angle.
  8. Enter the trade at the open price of the candle where the TDI crosses.

Exit Conditions

  1. When the TDI crosses in the opposite direction.
  2. When the TDI’s RSI Price Line becomes flat or hooks.
  3. When the third 4-hour candle after the start of the one just before the European open closes.
  4. Exit timing may vary depending on long-term/short-term trend, support, resistance, and current price.

Additional Notes

  1. It is suggested that between the TDI cross and the next opposite cross, on average, 3 to 8 candles will form. If you're not strictly focused on risk-reward, the above conditions should suffice.
  2. However, whether or not a trade results in profit is a different matter.
  3. To improve performance, it's essential to assess the long-term trend, current trend, and the locations of support and resistance.
  4. Regarding the advice to "study past charts" or "read past posts", the key seems to be learning to recognise price action patterns, the angle of the TDI cross, and the momentum of price in relation to those.

Week 32 , August 04 to 10

Always start the trading week knowing the economic calendar and plan your trades.

With the tariff negotiations still not conclusive and more surprises in the coming weeks, be prepared with market volatility at any hour of the day.

Quoting Rola
Post #150,654
Rola - this is awesome, and almost exactly what I took from OP. Some questions though...

1. 'Confirm a reversal signal... the candle before the reversal should be small, and the reversal candle should be large.' - I missed this, where did you pick this up from? Would love to see OP's comments on this.
2. 'The TDI cross should occur around the 32 level with a steep angle.' Did this become a hard and fast rule beyond where I have read up to? My understanding was this area is great for reversals, but OP was quite relaxed about TDI levels, with >50 often being good for longs, and <50 for shorts. Even stating price can go 100 pips beyond the 32/68 levels before reversing.
3. 'The Stochastic cross should occur near the 20 level' again can you point me to OP posts on this? I understood as long as the stoch points in the direction of your trade (and is not in an extreme e.g. between 80-20) we're good.

Great post though, it's pretty hard to get a handle on the rule as they are somewhat scattered throughout posts.

Cheers

I'm going to do a test on the Daily charts. When green crosses red I'll stay in until green crosses red again. I'll report the results in a week or so... I'll only enter if the candles are medium length or larger... wish me luck ...

Hello everyone, hope you're doing well. I have been reading the thread from the beginning but also what seems to be its continuation by RobinHood: https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...g-made-simpler Thousands more pages left to read but still I just wanted to say thank you everyone for what is really a gold mine. If I understood correctly, Big E, the one who started this thread, is no longer with us so may he rest in peace. I have been serious about FOREX trading (or "serious"; if I really stick with this long term this phase...
Hi Standard-agm, could you please share your indicators in Trading View if it is convenient for you?

I'd like to hear veteran traders' opinions on my entry. This is my first entry with this system, and I was able to achieve approximately a 1:3RR. It's true that I'm more hesitant about the exit and want to improve it.
When I entered, I had a faulty TDI indicator, which showed the total crossover on the candle I entered. (By total, I mean above the yellow average.) I'd also like to know if it's a good idea to wait for the TDI to cross the yellow average or not.
P.S.: I made the other entry as a reinforcement of the first entry since it was very clear to me.
P.S. 2: I closed when the stochastic reached the top of its zone.

Sorry for my writing, I'm not English
