Hi Miamivice, in your post, who made the TMS-Osc Histo 3TF v1.02.ex4 indicator? I'd really like to understand what's going on under the hood but I tried opening up the file in notepad and it's all encrypted.

Does anyone know where I can get more information or to contact the author to either release the code or give an explanation of what's happening under the hook please?

Thanks

David

and how does one add that to the TDI... i just know how to ad that on the main chart...

my apologies if i sound ignorant...
no need to apoligize, yes, you are ignorant, in fact, so clueless you can not even follow the topic, how can you even think of trading?

go back and read, absorb what was posted, and said, study the chart, others may tell you what you are missing, but really, that won't help you...

Hi guys

For some guys thats wondering to which crosses should they trade , I'm posting a chart that would help increase your win rate and make more pips.
This is a conservative style and it would allow you to catch a trend early. so we are basically looking for the TDI to touch or pierce the Blue bands then
We can trade the cross after that ( by backtesting you will notice that trading these crosses you will be more successful than trading just any cross.)
I've marked the charts with arrows, the double arrows show that those trades will...
Hi XMan, can u pls post ur template.

There is a new tool called Google that you can use - you type in a phrase such as "tms-osc histo 3tf mq4" and it gives you possible links.

Alternatively you could type the very same phrase into the search bar at the top of this page in FF and it will point you to http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?p=4702514

Alternatively you could just lie there and we could push your chest in and out for you and occassionally drip feed you.

Sorry for this response - but PLEASE - start doing some research folks - this applies to a bunch of recent questions that fall into the same category such as "send me your template" "where can I find ..." etc.

Think it's time for my nap!

Haha simr i dont think you read my posts attentively , Callisto is right.
The EMAs are for your charts , its the purple and the yellow on my charts. Why would you want to put the EMAs on your TDI? dont make sense.
The TDI bands are already set on your TDI indicator, you just have to change the colour for it to show. Read my recent posts and you will know.

Guys if you having alil trouble executing trades because your confidence is lacking alil , then install a SHI channel which you can trade the PA bounces in the channel with the TDI cross , that will give you some good trades.

It will look something like the chart i posted. Gives you a general idea of where PA will probably head , the channel keeps adjusting when PA breaks through and form new highs and lows.

Guys another tip to trading :

in a downtrend , its safer to sell the tops rather than to buy the bottoms.
In an uptrend , its safer to buy the bottoms rather to sell the tops.

If you look at the last chart i posted
E/U is in a downtrend so i sell the tops.
The 4EMA is touching the the 60EMA
TDI is touching the blue bands
And PA bouncing of the channel
So this was a really good 2 trades to take with a small SL. Enter after the TDI cross at the opening of the second candle.
making over 200 pips each taking these 2 trades at 1 standard lot , you wont have to trade for the rest of the month, you could just wait for another setup like that.
So its really not about how many trades you take a day, its about looking for the best set up and executing with the most confidence and you will make your monthly income just by few hours of work and the rest of the month you relax and party.
This strategy could be used by people that work and dont have time to look at charts all the time.

If you notice , these setups when they do occur it occurs on many pairs on almost the same day, so if you dont have enough capital than you execute 1 pair, if you do have the capital then you can execute all the pairs that shows the signal. which will make you a rich person with the least effort possible.

X-man a question about what you have said above. Lets say you see a deal on the Euro and Cable, since their profiles often correlate (what you hinted on above) If you get into both deals with your standard amount of lots, Aren't you just risking more on the same deal? Since they correlate, if one reverses; chances are they both reverse? I am asking because I tend to want to diversify my trading pairs, hence if I trade a USD pair, I am very careful about entering elsewhere on another USD pair. Please, what are your thoughts? Thanks.

I've configured my PC to send screenshots every 30 mins. to Picasa which I view on my iPhone. This way I can still get some trades in and monitor them during work hours
Would you mind sharing what software you're using to do the screenshots & uploads - could definitely be handy for those of us unable to use mt4 from work. Thanks!

Hey lazy Lobster

I understand what your saying, I have also thought about that but it totaly depends on your trading style and your taste for risk. You can just trade 1 pair and increase the lot size or you can just enter trades on on the pairs.
It depends on you as a person and on your capital.
If I have over $100 000 in capital i would enter all those trades or just take the 1 pair and increase it to 2 or 3 standard lots or even more.

The ATR values indeed don't differ much comparing 7 and 14.
I only look for trade opportunities on The Three Amigos (H4), no weird ATR values to be expected there.

Fractals can be quite helpful!
Large numbers of fractals close together nicely identify consolidation.
Ofcourse ugly looking small wicky candles are just as good.
Fractals also make it easier to spot bounce trades as well.
Haven't used them for identifying divergence yet. Will give it a try.

As for the SL's, next week I'm going to try out a fixed stop loss of 80 pips (I'm on demo).

Guys in my recent posts i discussed my strategy on how to wait for setup for those nice long trends (swing trades)
While i wait for those trade to form i scalp the 4H charts with a 70 to 80% success rate.
This is for a more active trader .
The way i go about it is just the way big E discusses it at the start of the thread and as the thread goes on and on people forget what was discussed.
The way go about it is that i wait for a synergy bar to change colour and then look at TDI for a cross.
I then analyze the candle thats forming and as soon as that candle 1 closes i enter on the opening of the second candle.
I ride that candle for the entire 4Hours and at the closing of that candle i will exit. A trade like that gives me 30 to 60 pips, at times you will break even or other times the candle gives over 100 pips.
For this type of strategy it is very important to do loads and loads of back testing to be familiar with the formations of candle 1.
Keep the bar chart selected to be able to notice the open and close of a candle.
if you measure the open and close it should be greater than 30 Pips.
with this method my SL is 60pips.
i did loads of back testing and by just trading this method i get 1200 to 2000 pips a month.

Wow; thanks for the tip. It's keeping me out of a lot of this mess without stewing about whether or not I should try, is it going to go this time. Simple, I can look & say, nope, hasn't touched the blue band; go cook breakfast.
