It appears that none of the 8 major pairs have setups. Unless I missed something?

Yes, I am, though only on a micro account as yet. I think there is serious promise here, although I would resist picking every green red cross and really look at the price action too.

I have just started using this system myself with pretty good results on a demo thus far. I am a newb that has never been able to trade profitably. In fact I still can't because I'm in my 3rd week of my 2nd attempt. However, over the past two days I have really been using this system and out of 10 trades placed 7 of them were winners of AT LEAST 25 pips using solely h1 and h4 charts. The other 3 trades were losers because I didn't notice that we were in a congested area of support. If I would have noticed that I wouldn't have taken those trades. Much to learn...

I am noticing that it is super important to trade the times eelfranz mentions in his first post. Depending on where you are in the world this could mean some fine tuning of your daily routine.

I would say give it a try. Once you have picked a few winning trades you realize how easy it is to spot a setup. As I'm typing this I look at a 55 pip winner and realize that my decision to sell was made almost instantaneously by looking at the chart. I literally glanced and knew I had a great setup. I did the obvious and checked the trend before getting in and bam! It worked out.

It's a rock solid strategy. The thread is dying out a little because the original poster isn't in good health. Or so I've read. Just setup the template on your desktop and take a look for yourself.

Hi Blueman1887
I was wondering the very same. It all sounded so simple and good when
eelfranz brought it to us and right away, everybody comes up with improvements, additional indicators, etc. I find it very confusing and don't know whom to believe anymore.
I'm still trying this on demo and it does appear to work with some personal
discretion. Not all trades should be taken, of course, but many are very profitable.
Good luck

The eelfranz system is alive and well - keep with the standard tdi indicator and don't load up the screens with any extras - check out phx62 - he trades london open on H1

Hi all,

I'm trying this system as first presented with no complications and new indicators.

Would like to know what you think about my trades and if anyone still trading with this system.

I entered with 0.2 lots, I'm usisng the cavemanager to manage my trades.
Closed half, SL above BE.

How do I setup the TDI indicator, without actually having the TDI indicator? I have an android tablet with trade interceptor on it. Trade Interceptor has tons of indicators like the heiken ashi candle for TMS. However it does not have TDI as one of its indies. I believe I can setup some moving averages and use the stochastics to determine overbought/oversold. I might have to post this in platform tech.

Try MACD 2-Line (2,13,7 SMA)

Good luck.....

Looks good so far - your TP line will need careful monitoring seeing as it is above the next line of resistance. Are you running with a TS or manually re-setting your SL?

Just got in on this one.

By this system I'm a little late, but I hope still in time!

What you think about this one?

Thanks

Hi, I was stop out at breakeven. I got 15 pips for the half of the size, I was letting it run for the other half and got stoped out. I might get in again!

Here's the chart
