I have been studying forex for a while now and would love to give this system a try, i have downloaded fdxx and started a demo account.

I cant seem to get the tdi indicator up i have tried all the links from the first few threads but with no joy, could anyone give me a quick dummies guide to loading it up/with the correct links if poss.

Many thanks in advance.

Hey guys, IM sorry i didnt read the thread carefully. Eelfranz mentioned that he closes all his rades at 6:00 am PST. But the exit criteria centers around TDI(exit when hook,flat, crossover) Should I leave the positions in? Or close them now?

Thank you

Acording eelfranz suggestion exit is personal trade style, he was closing down posiotions when he woke up in the morning, it was his style... find your own style

Hi, if you see the indicator in the metaeditor, you are probably opening it rather than saving it.
Go back to the link where you tried to download from, right click, select save as and navigate to C:mt4....expertsindicators
At this point you should see the indicator in the correct folder. Do not forget to restart the MT4.
Hope this helps.

Hi redfan,

London opens at 8.00 am gmt (London time)
So four hour candles London time are 8.00am, 12.00pm & 4.00pm

Hi ya

Quick question if I can. When you count the candles - do you count maximum of two before the bar change? ie If I look at 18:59 there are two candles, but if I look after the bar changes at 17:01 there are three - is that still valid? Hope that makes sense.

I am the same. I use IGindex to trade and alpari MT4 to chart, interested to hear any suggestions.

BTW - I was working on the basis that it doesn't make that much difference - some moves we'd be earlier than others, some we'd be later - either way it would even out in the end - but it does make comparing notes and guidance a bit harder. Maybe find a demo account that works in the same time to chart from?

Thomi,

I got up late this morning and I was at a small loss.
It's 3:30p.m. Montana time and N/Y session just ended.
I'am down about $400.00 right now and I "believe" that
the long term trend is still down so I decided to hold onto
my short. (Brother... I believe...)

I have found over the years, sometimes it is better to hold your
position and not get shaken out of the market. I guess we'll see
if I should have sold out earlier. Anyway, I'am still holding
my short (for better or worse). Wish me luck!!!

Tks...

Thomi,

Thanks, I'll need it!

I do believe that a % of trading is old fashioned luck.
Maybe not a lot but still some. I've had to ride out bad
trades before ( couple of days) sometimes it works out
sometimes it doesn't. I guess it's all part of trading.
I don't like taking losses unless I have to. You have
to develop the fortitude to withstand the losses, both
financially and psychologically.

If I were sitting in front of the computer this whole
time I would have traded it differently.
