Well I read the thread, but it said in the propoerties section put the alert to true, but for the TDI there isnt an option to do that. There's no alert system for the one I have at least?

Has anyone tried trading this on a daily timeframe? I just did some minimal manual backtesting on EU and it looks profitable.

I am also a pacific coaster, and I'd much prefer to look at this higher tf and only have to check the charts once daily.

I'm slowly making my way through this thread so sorry if it's been mentioned/discussed already.

EDIT: Just found this



Would still like to hear if others have had success trading this system on the Daily timeframe.
I have had success trading GBP/USD on the daily tf.

hi AmishBuggy, or any Daily trader
I'm interested in Daily trading as well , Can you tell me do you only enter a trade at the start of the broker's day ? 00:00 time or soon after , or do you trade at any time of the day using the Daily chart?
Thanks

Even though the Forex market is 24 hours, many brokers open at 5PM eastern time (NY time) on sunday and close at 5PM ET on Friday. Also, roll over or swap at 5PM ET. It's best bet to say that the forex day opens and closes at 5PM ET everyday. If you want to trade this method daily, I'd suggest to find a broker with open and close daily candle at 5PM ET. Enter trade at the open of a new daily candle, 5:00PM ET. Exit? It's up to you. Do I trade daily candle? Yes, I do. My stop loss is 5 day ATR. Take profit, at least 1:1. Learn to read HA, basically very similar to Japanese candles, along with green crosses over red and you'll be fine. Remember, the higher the time frame, the stronger the price action and the trend. Good luck with your trading.

Hi ndhoanggia
My new daily candles come on at midday my time (Perth Aus.) and I have had success trading the daily at this time, do you feel that it makes a difference on the time when daily candles start ? provided that all conditions are met I cant see that it would matter when the new daily candles start, or am I missing something here.

Hi MeLe, this method is a trending method and most of the daily move happens during the London session. It's best to enter the trade at the beginning of the London session. I like daily candle opens and closes at 5PM NY time is because I live in NY. I think I'm just too "New York-centric." You have had success with daily candle trades, in my opinion, is because you enter the trade during mid to late asian and beginning of the London session. If it ain't broke, don't fix it right? Keep on making those pips MeLe.

I want to make something clear. I am posting these links because i dont want to be selfish and also, it is related to TMS method we have been using, as i always try to help those who have not been able to catch the system very well in my own little way. THESE ARE NOT ADDITIONAL INDICATORS BUT JUST DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF TMS ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE WHO LIKE TO FOLLOW MAJOR TREND LIKE ME. USE THEM AT YOUR OWN RISK

This is the latest indicator , one of us here. It is called tms-basket letting you monitor...

Hi

Reasons not to take it:

PA is flat and ranging.

TDI cross is flat BigE says take 1-2 o'clock angle for long. 4-5 o'clock for short.

Stochastics pointing in right direction, but very close to being over bought.

I would wait until the PA shows a defined movement.
