Hi babnz48. Here's the same chart your looking at almost 3 hours later.
On my feed the TDI hasn't even come close to crossing. Im using FXDD.
Can someone explain my my TDI seems to lag so much? Anyone ?? Big E ??
I'm not sure if this has been answered or not but... What if the TDI crosses at the beginning (opening) of the first or 2nd candle do you take the trade? Or only enter on the first or 2nd candle after the TDI confirms crossing on the previously closed candle.

tdi cross definitely verified is your entry signal....either 1st or 2nd candle...green MUST have crossed red though...not just touching.....crossed.

Quite an interesting system, dude. I dedicated my weekend to read the whole thread. I love its simplicity because it is very similar to what i am using to trade, but i never give thought of how HA works and how it can make you stay in trade longer.
I have lost many trades using candle sticks in a trade which i should not have entered. BUT THIS THREAD OPENED MY EYES TO MANY THINGS I ALWAYS IGNORED EVEN AS AN AVERAGE TRADER.
NOT TO BE OFFENSIVE QUESTION, BUT TO HELP READ THE TDI BETTER. CAN SOMEONE HELP TO CREATE TDI HISTOGRAM WITH ALERT WITH COLOR CHANGES EXACTLY AS THE RULE WE ARE USING. I have looked for it but couldn't see it . Sorry for the inconveniences if it is a naughty question but it will help many newbies asking repeated solved question as per crossing. thanks

Hey drifter,
I think it was you playing around with tighter stop losses on the hourly charts, looking at possibly placing SL at the last candle instead of the last high or low. How did you go?? This week I am going to record my biggest draw downs and see what RR I can come up with.

Yes but do you wait until the candle closes to verify. Or if it clearly crossed upon opening of the first or 2nd candle is that ok.
I ask because if the the candle crosses at the beginning of the 2nd candle and you have to wait until it closes, you can't enter on the beginning of the 3rd candle according to the rules.
So do you take a chance and take the trade at the beginning of the second candle since the TDI crossed over. Or do you not risk the chance that the TDI may uncross before that candle closes?

If it has crossed and is at the correct angle and all other aspects are ok such as PA, candle size, S/R etc then it is an entry....Eelfranz only assesses trades at the opening of the candles so if it has clearly crossed at the opening go for it. Anyone feel free to correct me if I am wrong but that is how I see it.
TDI's red line is still at 3h,EMA pointing at 4h and candle has not crossed and closed over the EMA.
I would wait.

red line irrelevant
ema angle irrelevant (just a bonus if pointing the same way but not considered when assessing a trade)
candle crossing not important

Hey Dean,
I havent been actively trading much lately, more just watching from the side line, although i have had a few trades and ive been putting my stops a few pips above/below the colour change. Looking back through the charts, vary rarely does PA take out that colour change, unless its during a news spike in which case im not in the trade anyway.
I took that U/C long as well, i held it through the flat period and looks like its on its way to 97.
im also constantly refreshing the TDI, i think a trade should be managed the whole way through. Currency's dont care about time frames so the direction of the TDI at any given hour shouldnt be any more important that its direction at any point in the trade. just my opinion.

Thank you for the feedback, and I have a question.
Would you only wait for crossover in TDI and Stochastic and of course PA or something else to confirm entry? (longer candles, general trend...)
I read somewhere in a post that for A grade trade all indicators should pose in direction of trade.
