What MAs are you using? They seem to be very similar to TDI.

Thanks,

Probably a bug. I make sure to click "refresh" before I consider entering a trade, as the refereshed version is obviously the true one. Here's the reason:

The way the TDI works is that any current candle will have to work against the TDI slope produced by the previous candle. Let's say our chart starts with C1 (candle1), which is a neutral candle (open+close is the same price). C2 is a strong down-candle. C2's down move will directly translate into a TDI down-slope which we see at the end of C2. Let's say C3 ends neutral, the slope...
I am using one of the Watchdog versions of the TDI - doesn't look to have the issues with updating / the original feature/bug - anyone seeing issues?

there you have it, after 12,741 posts, the mystery of the TDI is revealed, except he didn't mention what the MA's are.

This explains why it seems to work better on some pairs and not others - different daily range movements.

Anyone familiar with back testing of MA crossover system will know that each pair will have different settings of MA to be optimized for that pair.
It takes a lot for me to IGNORE you, but you can try.

Hi,

It seems to me that you know the values of MAs. Would you share it with us? One valid set of MAs for a certain pair (perhaps EURUSD) would be nice.

Thanks,

Two trades today on the H1. The first one barely reach my TP. The second one became an A+ trade following a test and failure to break the London high. TP was reached on that one in less than an hour. Another good day!

Apologise for delay in responding to questions.

Hey TraderJak What's the name of the TDI indi your using?
I am using TDI Red Green

Quoting psydox
Hi TraderJak, do you normally enter as soon as the green crosses red at the start of a new candle? Or do you wait until candle close with green crossing red and then enter?
I suppose I do neither - as and when I get to my PC (as near to the 4H candle change as I can), if I see a cross, I enter, having checked other confluences of course. This might be in between candle periods.

Quoting antantnz;<br /> Jak, couple of observations I'd make :[LIST
[*]As noted, slope/angle of cross may not have been sharp enough. Definitely an indicator that gives you values to judge slope by could come in handy.[*]Cross occurred at approx 60, which means there is less room for it to move upwards. [*]The new candle is "inside" the previous one. When doing my analysis I've found that more often than not this is a good reason to not enter the trade as it often means a change / consolidation / ranging is happening. My strong preference is candles that are clearly above or below the previous candles, not "inside". [/list]
Thanks for information - will need to look more carefully at candle set up although I did get a good result on EURUSD today now that I've got my slope indicator on

This is going to be a real newbie question but what do the numbers and arrow at the end of your chart represent? I see it on a lot of the charts here. Obviously something to do with the specific trade mentioned but the dim light bulb in my head isn't coming on hehe.

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

Nice Trading Apom !
Thanks for putting together your set of Rules.
I use similar rules to yours.
I have not been using the TDI yellow line, but I will take a look at it..
I also like to enter when the stoch is in or near the OB / OS level and pointing or hooking into the direction of the trade.

Cheers.
Thanks DojiMoji
I think you should seriously consider TDI yellow line (market base line). it really sieves out fake set up's quite effectively

Thank you for posting your 'method' and your trades from it. I have a couple of questions though if you don't mind and have attached a couple of charts, one of mine, one of yours (GBPHR) to illustrate my questions.

If you compare the areas marked (and circled) as 'A' you'll see that they both refer to the same time period on the same date during an uptrend. However, my chart shows 2 red candles in the middle of the uptrend whilst yours shows blue candles all the way..... I am using the Synergy APB candles as provided on this thread for this method, are you using the same or is this another issue?

The early hours of the 23rd of September was surely the correct signal / time to enter this trade, but according to your first rule as it was below the yellow line (on the tdi) it wasn't a trade until it 'bounced' on the 26th, arguably missing a third of the trade.

Second question, looking at my chart I have marked an area called 'B' that is just to the left of the chart you posted. Looking at the downtrend marked 'B' you'll see that the tdi cross occurred above the yellow line (on the tdi) and once again you would have missed entry to a 300+ pip move.

I realise your rule No.1 is to help you eliminate fakeouts but it looks like you also miss some good set-ups or enter quite late to others.

This isn't meant to 'rubbish' your rules, I'm just trying to understand them and also understand why our candles are showing different things.

Many thanks and green pips to you.

Hi Juliant, we have to thank Big E for this fabulouc TMS

First question: Sorry, I'm clueless on the differences. I used the same Synergy APB from this thread

Second question: yeah, that's the disadvantage of this method, it really misses out some nice trend.. but I think that green line in your TDI area B already crossed down yellow line...

But I'm quite happy it filters out at least 80% of fake set up's and it's mechanical

Hi, greetings. I am new in this forum. I found TMS very appealing and learnt a lot from you guys. After reading most of your postings, especially Big e's, I would like to set up these rules for my demo trades:--

ENTRY~
Rule #1 on TDI, buy when green line cross above red line and it must be above or crossing yellow line; sell when the opposite happens.
Rule #2 On TDI, green line must be below 68 for buy; above 32 for sell.
Rule #3 on Stochastic, blue line must be above red line for buy; the opposite for sell.
Rule #4 on Stochastic, blue line must...
