Mine is the TMS Watchdog version posted here on 12/11/2011 and I have always had the bands visible.

If you go into the Indicator settings for TDI, lines 1 and 3 are the upper and lower bands.

If you go to Dean Malone's website, one of the trade signals he teaches is breaks of the bands. Buy when the upper band is broken on an up trend and sell when the lower band is broken on a down trend. Well, that's the simple version - more detail can be found by watching his training videos.
Thanks pip.I watched a ton of his videos funny i missed that one.I watch a bunch of nial fullers videos also.I think one day im gonna go to pure price action.

eu is developing a channel following its down trend.

H4 is showing a pullback and is falling back off of the 100EMA

Day has move away from what is developing into a strong Demand Zone and also shows a pullback below the 200EMA.

Current channel is around 200pips, so this may be worth watching for signals on H4 for entries.

Looks like a couple of possibilities ahead for GU depending on whether it'll break out from its new range.

Also on the H4, interesting to watch the PA with the TDI. For those struggling to see the signals on H4 - an APD colour change will either coincide with a TDI cross, or will be followed by a TDI cross on the next candle, if the PA continues. Also, look for the Fractal breaks as these give another clue that a recent minor S/R level has been broken.

GBP AUD

This is showing a stalled reversal pattern on the day which is confirmed on the H4 which is showing that the 50EMA is currently acting as a dynamic resistance. H4 APB colour change and TDI are in place.

AUD CHF

Weekly chart is using the 200EMA as support with the day chart showing a huge pullback from the Supply Zone which is now showing APB colour change with a TDI cross in process - to be confirmed with PA on Monday.

H4 is a bit more confusing as it may use the 50EMA for a bounce. I am looking for an entry signal off of H4 if it breaks the previous candle low

And finally - AUD NZD

Not one that I trade much, but the day is showing a good move off of the Supply Zone which if PA continues south will give an APB colour change and a TDI cross on Monday.

Watch for entries off of H4 if PA crosses and closes below the 21EMA

Wait until the gap from opening has determined whether is is going to continue - I do not trade on a Sunday/Monday candle unless there is strong PA action to support the move.

The Asian session on Monday is not known for its PA strength, so this can be quickly reversed on the London Open.

By the looks of the news calendar, no major news events on EUR through Monday, so PA may well drift sideways.

There is a strong case for this price level to become a sticking point, so usual cautions apply - let PA tell you where it is going

As they say on the London Underground "Mind the Gap"

Very tempting to play on the eur/jpy with a 200+pip gap, but I think I will restrain myself.

This makes a very good case for not keeping trades open over the weekend, unless you are up over 100pips and all your candle patterns are telling you to stay in on Friday.

This also shows how important it is to have your trade management plan defined and in place.

Not sure how the brokers will honour SL settings when the price gaps like this - I have never been in a trade that suffered from this.

The gaps that were created after the Euro Zone / Cypus bail out agreement is going to change all of the previous forecasts and chart analysis over the weeken.

Just pause and re-asses how the moves are shaping up for the week. the usual signals apply with APB colour changes and TDI - may be worth dropping down to H4 to see the moves Monday and Tuesday, especially with Monday being a quiet news day.

Happy pip hunting.

The 5ema was only there for decoration really - not used for entry decisions. I'll update post # 1

Currently running with the following EMAs

21 / 50 / 100 / 200

all are typical hlc/3
