Hi Xaphod:
Wanted to thank you for all the work you do and my question is am I right in reading that the original TDI red/green has a bug in it? If that's true what would you recommend for the replacement that is most like it? I'm not the brighest tech guy around. Thanks for all you give to people.

Hi Jim.

It is covered in the first post. It is unknown whether is is a 'feature' of the original TDI or a bug.

Try the TMS-Osc.mq4 for a bare bones replacement.

Try the @TMSTDI_WatchDog.ex4 for one with more features.

Just put these indicators on a chart with your other TDI and let them run for a while and you will see the difference. There are screenshots posted in the first couple of pages of this thread.

Hi there:
You beat me to it, I reread the thread and found the answer, thanks again. I'm continually amazed at your coding abilities and your willingness to give. Thanks again.

Hi There Guys,
Just want to say Great job there by the forum members. I'm amazed at the speed at which the TMS thread keeps growing by the minute. I've been trying to read throught the thread post by post but can't seem to reach the end of it any time soon along with doing other things too. That thread is growing very very fast. Just look at the date of the first post of the thread and the no. of pages that have been built up to now. Just wonderful stuff.
Kudos to you all for sharing. And not just TMS but many others that I've yet to come across.
Keep it up, God Bless.

Hi Palmen. Great job with the Indicators.
I know that u r more into trading now that modifying indicators, also that u can't leave the indicators open and make into exe rather. However, I have a small request to make. If the file was in mq4, i could have tried to do it myself but it isint. Thus this request.
I usually have a matrix of 3X3 charts open, thus 9 and that too on my laptop and it's not a big screen. So when I load your indi's ( the one attached), the header part hides the visuals when they are hovering above 50 and it's difficult to see the visuals. Can we do away with the header all together? Also if you can tell me how to do it on the code, it would be great coz i may need the same for some other indi's too. It's a small request but a request none the less. Maybe create a switch in the optional parameters.
Thanks.

Hello All,
This is more of an input or observation of mine. With the TMS Watchdog Indi and going with the Logic of BigE in finding the best trade oppertunities. I observed that the best trades come when the slopes are up for the Red and Green line after the cross of course and that they have to be abve the TDI line.
Request others to consider this and give their feedback on either this or the original TMS thread.
Regards.

would there be any possibility for the TMS-Osc Cross_G1 to have the option for the arrow signal to be say green > red and > market base line for a long and vice versa for a short.

Godd day every one,
I want some one to help me to work on this indicator #Chaos Entry.ex4. I got it online and I use it to refine signals for this trading system, but the problem with it is that 1. it repaints 2. it come out late, a times. Beside these problems i consider it a good refining tool in trading this TMS system.

I do not have the code. I am hoping that some one can help me to rework it so that it will stop repainting, or help me any other (non-repainting) indicator with similar character.
Thanks for your help.

Hello Goldy,
If u ever come across an indicator which repaints, try to avoid it all together. My experience is the same as your's that the shoe up late an seem like they did just in the right time and also that they are never wrong. This can get u in a lot of trouble. Just an advise. Suit yourself if u still want to go ahead with it.
Regards. McNish.

I have a question for clarification of what constitues a correct slope for entries.

Cross entry: Watchdog slope must be at leat 4.5.
Bounce entry: Slope must be at least 3.0.

Is this correct?



I have also tried to backtest using the correct slope. This isn't easy to do as I can't find a watchdog option to show the slope for past candles. But I think I have figured out the way to do it:

One must first enable 'grid' in MT4. On highest chart magnification a 4.5 TDI slope is the line drawn from the 50 to 32 TDI lines and 4 cells to the side. We can then draw a triangle. The triangle's height is from the 50 to 32 line. The width is 8 cells.

For the 3.0 slope the height is the same. The width is 12 cells.

Xaphod,

I really like the simplicity of the TMS-Osc - Histo indicator and would like to make two requests.

First, can you add the angle of the green line to the external buffers?

Second - I always like to see the underlying PA and the Average Price Bars hide this action. I know, they are supposed to do that but it would be really nice to have the APB in histogram form in a separate window - either red or blue depending on the ADB formula.

Thanks for considering these requests!

Hi Xaphod,
Just catching up on my TMS thread reading and came across your post. Could you tell me what settings you used for the MA's in the chart setup in post 12741 in the TMS thread. I am curious.
Thank you very much I appreciate it. PM me if you like, rather than getting this thread off track.

  1. TDI (2-Period SMA / 7-Period SMA of RSI 13).

  1. T3 4-Period / 9-Period.
    T3 Triple Exponential Moving Average. Tweak the b parameter if you want closer correspondence with the TDI. T3_clean.mq4.

  2. 2-Period SMMA / 9-Period LWMA.

Thanks Xaphod.

My SMMA2/LWMA9 is not exactly matching TDI.
Do they apply to Close Price?

The TMSwatchdog provides data on the angle. Maybe your request should be directed there instead.

Have you tried searching for APB histograms? I do not have one.

One can coax the HA indicator to plot in a separate window:

Hi xaphod, can you please tell me how I can add the HA candles to my chart instead of having to start again with your template. Thank you.
