I am looking at your EUR/aud trade and I would like to know if the angle of the TDI looked like this when you took the trade. If not, what was the angle when you entered the trade? I am seeing TDI angles that are different (better) later when I look back at them. Frustrating. I am missing some great trades because of this.
I trade only steep TMS slope. I took the long trade on the 10am H1 candle.

Check yours again. Never mind if you miss the trade. I miss some too. but there will be plenty of good crosses you will find.

Patience pays!

Hi Callisto,
I also like that FF Headline indi - I downloaded the file you attached but it's only a doc and will not copy/paste to my MT4 Indicators folder. (It also doesn't show up in my metaeditor.) Do you know if you attached the correct type of file? OR, is there a place on the FF site where I can pull it directly? Thanks for any help.
I have downloaded the file and it installs O.K on my MT4 platform (Alpari UK).

Close your platform down then download the file again, then copy and paste it into: experts --- then indicators. Now restart MT4 and the file should be located in the custom indicator folder, drag onto the main window and hopefully its there to see. You may need to change some of the colours dependant on your chosen background.

Hope this helps

Read Big E's log: NY afternoon is a really bad time of day to enter any trade - especially based on the relatively short one hr. timeframe. If you'd seen this at the beginning of London, it would've been a taker for sure. I would have. But not now. Sorry....

I just checked my chart on this - you would actually have been ok and been up 30+ if you'd taken it on candle #1. So you were also late when you posted this. Being later than candle #1 during NY afternoon is double-jeopardy (tho' you wouldn't have lost on this one). That's not to say it can't go up forever from here - as you know, anything is always possible - but in general you must stick to rules and go with probabilities. (Sorry to sound like I'm saying anything new!)

THx IG - I had been doing just as you say. But it still won't work on my fxcm account. So then I tried it on my gft acc't and it does work (tho' the headline info is not uptodate!, which makes me want to forget it anyway.) So it's something to do with my fxcm mt4 - not the first time for that. Anyway, I appreciate you tried!

Looking at historical price movements on the Daily chart, if you use the TDI system, you can afford to go to work the next day and slap your boss's face and get out of the office, go home, burn your degree certificate and transcript and sit infront of the computer for 3 minutes a day every morning and night (of candle open).

How far you guys think is this true?

Just attached this to my chart and it did'nt work at first FXCM and FXDD. What I did is 2 things.... 1st change to ALLOW DLL IMPORTS and secondly.. go into Inputs section in the indi and check what the MAX TF is set to... Mine was set to 60 so any TF above H1 will not show the news.

Hope this works

So tell me, do you have some specific trading rules for;

1) Entry
2) SL
3) Exit
4) Re-entry in opposing direction
5) The loop continues....

Please do advise.

Look, in the past I use trade in low TF, I loosed a lot of time, hope and money. Since Big E open my eyes with this really good strategy, my trading change forever.
As you said in you previous post 9661 "if you use the TDI system" . . . thats it, TMS can be used in any TF (as every body knows), it´s just a matter of set up mind change . . . I did, I use Big E rules primaly.
second: because of me, of my personality, I been using CCI. CCI was the only that look the same to TDI IN MY JAVA PLATFORM . . . UNTIL I discovered an TDI FOR JForex. After this, I use both ! . . . Yes I know (as told me XxlessoxX in PM) the information it´s the same (or almost), but I (ME again) feel more confortable.
Some times TDI and CCI(6) shows divergence, that help me to stay away of the market, but I`m still taking notes about.
Entry, Exit, Reentry, etc can be Big E rules, works perfect !
However, a choice to SL and TP are dcginc ATR rules, but sometimes I use in daily ATR (14) x 1,5, that`s enought for me. Dont`t ask me for deep reasons, just work fine with my broker data and my goals.
I use ATR x 2 when TP is not tooo high for one day trading. Still dont use ATR x 4.
When PA dont hit TP I close in the next bar if the new signal tell me that (again Big E rules) and run away with a small profit . . . (or lose) IF signal tell me to continue in the trade . . . you know.
Finally daily it`s really stress free. I`m not an expert trader, I`m on that way thanks to people like you, Big E (I pray for his health) and too many generous and amazing people here.
just my half cent, hope helps
sorry about my poor english

Ive noticed this too, esp on 4hr tf. when I went down to the 5 min tf I was watching the green line move up and down with price and finally just as the candle would close the angle would alter dramatically. I dont have a fix for it, sorry.
