Welcome one and all to my first thread and to a new trading experience.

The strategy is born from the thread started by Big E using TDI (traders dynamic index) cheers to Big E and the collaborators.

I will attempt to show you how i trade using this indicator (TDI).

Please feel free to comment, add screenshots, pictures of lovely ladies and you living it up with the winnings from this thread, also your contribution generally about this strategy and trading in general ie brokers, news relating to forex, technology etc

Lets roll, Lets do this

Go for it James, although I think you should have called the thread "Trading Made Simple and then made more complicated again".

Recent trade example: GBPCAD
See daily is long due to Heiken Ashi smoothed being long, so we only look for long on H4
Moving to H4 i noticed the tdi went lower and several bars back was pushing for a long, patience works
This recent bar pulled the green tdi above the red and yellow.
Long trade = win
That is 7 out of 7 today!!

These are the two main indicators.

HA smoothed
TDI

now in order to not having the bells going off and the arrows, maybe use my template
Or
Adjust the indicator once you have loaded it on one chart.
Go to charts (top of screen) > indicator list > and double click on TDI
Then change the settings to false that which are true and you wont have alarms and the large arrows

James,

I can see you have moved and as you will note, people will start flowing to your thread.

To make it more fun, well more work for you I guess, if you start drawing arrows on your charts and entering texts in them, it will save you too much in typing - Use Jetscreen shorts from http://jetscreenshot.com/ and play around with it. You can use it to draw attention to your point right on your charts. If need to know how to use it, PM me and I will show you more. I am in the UK and I think you are too. Anyway all the best with your thread and I am subscribed to it. Note Jetscreen short is a free Tool any one can use.

My two Pips worth to your thread.

Daily just turned to down trend last night
this bar as arrow indicates was the entry

1 - Daily down trend
2 - H4 green moves back above red, bar closes above 5sma
3 - wait for setup where green moves below red and bar closes below 5sma
Exit: psl 100 pips or when daily changes back to long (working on this but 100 pip is standard for now) If we lose 100 we aim for 100 on next trade more on that later)

Gold is a potential short on next bar H4

Cheers littlebunny,
Synergy i recall had narrow candle bars inbetween HA smooth and standard candles, all in the same bag i guess
welcome and bring on the results.. this being H4 i dont expect us to move mountains but i am looking at 24 odd pairs inc gold and silver so there will be plenty of setups.. soon i trust someone will join me and we can start a tally.. ie win to loss ratio

Just noticing the progression. Big E started the 5 Method from Synergy (with Dean's approval) because he didn't want to wait for the candles to come out of the PAC. Then went to the higher time frames with TMS. Then X-man sprouted his thread. And now yours. It tickles me that 4 threads plus Synergy traders are lining up their wheelbarrows because of Dean's TDI. It's not just pretty colors; it works. (Thanks, Dean!) Meanwhile, good luck & much fun for all of us.

Well in that case thats Dean and Big E, legends! and yes TDI does work, its simple just have to find the timing as with all strategies, however this one indicator alone is all you need, and in this case of my thread the HA smooth.
My method is rather different 2 main reasons:
I dont exit as often, traditionally when the rsi pulls back or goes flat one should exit, that didnt work for me.
Secondly i use a higher time frame for confirmation and only enter when my settings occur not every cross is relevant.

Many thanks to Dean Malone and Big E, with what they gave we can all be successful and move forward both in trading and helping others

USDJPY potential short on next bar.. weekend so may be signing off soon

Hi James what a great simple method I shall look in to it and come up with questions for clarification hopefully it cuts down on false entries so the pips stay positive for us thank you

Hi james my first ? Do we look at the 4Hr when the daily changes trend (that is it changes colour ) or we look at it the for confirmation when the 4hr changes trend cheers
