Well EU is still being stubborn but I took 100 on EJ in the end. Yesterdays and todays trade attached. The first trade I got nervous near the ma's but if I'd held on until the h4 tdi turned it would have worked anyway. {image}

Its the indicator Xaphod posted I've attached it. I prefer this one because it shows the mbl as well. Just change the timeframe under inputs to whatever you want.

Hi, since the TDI indicator has been discussed a lot in the latest pages I want to ask about the differencies of the different TDI versions:

- TDI (from the thread starter)
- TDI RT (?)
- TDI PRO (?)
- TDI Basic from "compassfx" (free from the synergy system)

...what are the differencies and which one is the best?

The TDI indicator (red and green) from the start in this thread was alone on the chart. Lately I can see most of you using one yellow line, I guess this is the market base line. Right? And some of you have two blue lines also, is that some volatility band?

Is it some rules regarding the yellow and blue lines in the TDI chart? I could not find information about that in the original trading document from the thread starter.

Its a matter of preference more than anything else I think. The tdi red green left out the market baseline but I prefer to have it in there and don't take many trades where the green has not crossed (or is crossing) the mbl. The 2 blue lines are volatility bands and some like to see them some don't. Basically they are all the same indicator with some of the lines either showing or not depending on if you like them there. TDI RT doesn't wait for the present bar to close before moving, it moves as the bar progressesm, the RT is short for real time. Just whichever one you prefer to use.

Hi Lastingwell,

After loading the Indi,,, it just shows me a black window, do you or any one knows why??

The indi is in the right path, and re-started MT4 too.

Thx

PS:whats the difference between this version and TDI-MTF v1.2 version?

Trades updates 4 hour! GU and GJ my half position out at breakeven and re-entered. Added to my other 4 trades, I am still bullish all pairs so added on pullback and PA. Not around this week so just a quick update! Best of luck {image}
4 hour trades update from this week:

I have had a bullish bias and enter on pull backs and PA!

EJ 145 pips
GJ 220 + 300 pips
AJ 10 pips
AU -28 pips
GU -15 pips

Some out at Breakeven could of TP but like I said I had a bullish bias and didn't think it would pullback as much!

Holding EU and GU for 1.6400.

Good luck

It says in the indi "Requires 'TDI_RT.mq4' is installed" so if its not installed in your indicators folder I've attached it here. It doesn't need to be on the chart just in the indicators folder.

Have now got comfortable trading the H1 charts, using the H4 tdi as a guide on the chart. EU taken where the vertical line is, taken partial off at the ema's and the rest moved to +1. Did the same with EJ this morning at 6am GMT which is now at + 83. Trying to wait until the H4 tdi shows signs of moving back down before exiting. Had a good day yesterday just on EJ doing the same thing, with roughly 123 pips in 2 trades. {image}
Update on this posted trade. This is whats called an exercise in patience Missed my stop loss at +1 by roughly 1 pip and then 2 pips and went up again but not far......will it ever get through these ma's

Personally, I used a vesion Xaphod made. It is also kinda RT version but i can freely change line thickness (other vesions seems roll back when MT4 restarts). Xaphod is the one I can trust in this wild wild Forex world.

EURJPY monthly view:

where do you see potential resistance which can stop EJ rising further and possible major correction.

Some newbie questions about the indicators and how to manage the trades after initial entry...

- Is there some good indicators giving a hint of a recommended stoploss and takeprofit levels?

I have read about ATR, SR, last high/low, D.O.T.S, fixed pips, trailing, parabolic SAR, fractals, SL/TP/EP indicator and so on, but I could not draw any conclusions about which is the best for TMS on H4?

I have a dayjob (under London Open) and have time to setup trades before work, but I dont have time to manage the trades so it will be perfect if I could setup TP and SL levels from start.

Dehyah,

When I trade higher TF like H4 and D, I do not concern myself with news release as market will follow the long term trend and fundamentals. Unless I see potential reversal I will take precaution when I have open trades.

To show you MT4 trades on your charts. You can simply drag and drop them from your Account History.

LFN,

use stops based on recent volatility...like the ATR.

Read up on Chandelier Exit:

http://forex-indicators.net/volatili...handelier-exit

also think of using position sizing.

They are circular if you have synergy bars on there or heiken ashi bars thats how they look when you have those types of candles. If you just have normal candles on there they will just be arrows.
