try to upload the chart directly into the forum, cant really see your prices or pairs. your entries look good but only problem is the time of the day.
In my opinion you have entered 2 positions that are very much corrolated, so if one goes against you, the other one will 95% go against you. some folks here trade like that but for me, one trade would have been more than enough. lets see how it goes.

Tks for the reply.
Sorry about the uploading for images and didnt realise there is a attachment function. My timezone is GMT +8, What does it mean "only problem is the time of the day"? I saw Big E replied on a specific timeframe he trades. I though when the london trading time overlay with NY trading time will be a good time to trade?

I am not one of the experts but i think you have gotten your times mixed up, Big E traded the 1Hr charts during NY session but the original method is traded around 6 am GMT and 12 GMT then closed off at 16 GMT.
I personaly look for setups at around 4 am GMT and 10 am GMT. In my experience i found that too often and 10 am Gmt we would normaly already be on the 3rd candle therefore missing the good entry and i have had pretty good results with that.
I dont trade the US Sessions for I find the US traders (big corporations) big crooks always out to get your stops and setting up fake breakouts. I just dont trust that session, if you want success during the US Session, then my advice is whatever signal you get, do exactly the opposite.
Hey, glad to see some activity back in here... I've just recently started live trading for the past few weeks, been paper trading for a good year on and off in forex and did a bunch of paper trading on some liquid stocks like AAPL and RIMM before that.
Its my understanding that Eelfranz isn't doing so well health-wise so here's hoping for a speedy and thorough recovery for him. Plus of course the gratitude for showing us this awesome system. Obviously his tweaked TDI and the ensuing TMS-Watchdog and TMS-OSC-Cross indicators by the programmers are great on their own. I feel that the inclusion of the ABP synergy candles are awesome on their own as well.
So, G20P, I see your posting some trades thats awesome. I saw that NZDUSD short setup but I thought myself out of taking the trade because I told myself it wasn't a good enough cross and my cross on my screen happened on a blue candle. Sucks I missed that one, I also thought the resistance would react at the closer level but that was also wrong. I think I should've realized it was in an overall downtrend and got myself in there! haha, congrats on a good trade though, please continue posting and I'll do the same.
Somewhere earlier in the thread, someone mentioned there was a version of the TDI system that doesn't alter the angles of the green/red lines if you refresh or change through time settings. As a test, I left my MT4 platform running through the London session today. When I had a look about half an hour ago, I made a note of where there were some potential entries on the H1 chart. I then changed the time to H4 then straight back to H1, causing it to refresh the data. There were some quite noticeable changes to the angles that would have altered the entries. I shall try this again tomorrow to see what results we get.
Does anyone know where to find this other version that does not repaint on a refresh, as I would be interested in testing them side by side?

Hi. Whats the indicator arrow called showing the candle colour change on your chart?

I have noticed your bars are diffrent to mine, my live platform in at 00 GMT but i always look at another brokers bars (fxdd) which is GMT +2 i think) before I make a trade. but both of my charts look diffrent to yours.

try this one... i dnt really like the watchdog version of it.
Hey, if you still want the indicators I use, here they are. You can use one and not the other if you choose or both or none lol.. I like the Watchdog cuz it takes some guesswork outta the angle's cross. Like Eeelfranz said to make sure its like hands on a clock so if its the angle of 2 O'clock for longs and the hands at 6 and 4 for shorts... but all clocks are different LOL
Also, as far as I know there actually isn't a TDI that never changes throughout a 4 hr bar. You'll notice on the WatchDog that the latest bit of it is purple and only that part will change. Which is necessary because it changes as it gets new data. You may see the TDIs smooth out older stuff but its not repainting like a Stoch or anything like that.
Also I see that our candles are different as well G20 I don't understand it... I'm with Oanda... If we had different ABP Synergy indicators would that be why? I mean its a big difference some of mine are red and yours green and vice versa...
Much appreciated, guys. I will give these a go and see what I come up with. There is an interesting prospect that has sprung up with this method, but I will wait until I have some more conclusive evidence to go on before I start posting my findings.

Do people prefer to trade with the standard tdi red green or with watchdog or tdi rt?. You will not see the tdi red green indictator move its current position in real time. It only moves when a new candle is formed, and then that angle is set for good. Its what I use...
Using tdi RT or watchdog the angle changes in real time, which to me is hard to use. As you may enter a trade after seeing a nice angle and then an hour later the market has retraced a little and now the tdi looks flat. Its the same with exiting trades aswell, it may go flat for a period meaning you have exited but then some time later its back showing a strong angle. Why would people use this version of tdi, is impossible to back test with it also. Whats the majority of people using? The standard tdi green red, or the moving ones? Thanks
Edit: Sorry, TDI watchdog doesn't update in real time, its just TDI RT, some people prefer RT - but why! when what was a valid signal can change (many times) on that same candle

Listen I hope this doesn't mess you up but I'll bet you if you were to right click on your chart and click refresh, your TDI would update itself too... I mean I think you are alright because price doesn't usually just turn right around and takeoff but if it did you'd still be sittin there with a nice stiff TDI in the air wondering what happened, no?
I came accross this thread after getting a email from a trading buddy 2 weeks ago, saw some potential in this simple method, so I decided to give it a try and see how well it goes. I have been trading on and off for around 3 years, so have had some good and bad experiences, mainly lately I have only been trading price on the chart and no indicators, so trading with this method is very hard for me, as I have learnt not to trade with indicators. But saw good comments and wanted to try this out.
I must admit I have been quite amazed with the results so far, I feel perhaps the advantage I have to start with is understanding price on the chart with support and resistance. I have made 6 trades this week, trying out the method trading just mini lots until I could see good results. Took a sell on the eurusd making a 44pip profit, at the same time I took buys on the usdchf and usdjpy with these 2 pairs making around 100pips each, also took a sell yesterday on the audusd which was in a nice profit but got taken out at break even at 3am london time while I was sleeping, and now I have taken sells again on usdchf and usdjpy.
My only problem was exiting the trades, probabaly my fault from not reading through the rules completly, but as soon as I saw a hook on the TDI I was exiting, so this week I decided to try and read the HA candles along with the TDI for exits and of course support and resistance areas. I did also find on another thread a TMS monitor for this method showing pos. set-ups, which I have found very usful at a glance. Any way would like to take this time to say a big thankyou to eelfranz for sharing this simple method of trading, and to show my last 2 entries to see if I am reading this method correctly.
Hello guys, I am new to this forum, but I have followed this thread off and on for a few weeks and I have been paper trading the system for a week or so now.
It is going ok so far, have had some wins and losses, but more wins. Thanks to the creator and all for your contributions.
