{quote} What are those little arrows on the tdi pro chart? Any additional indicator? I don't have them on my synergypro install.

Those arrows are SynergyPro TDI alerts.
Explaination in the Ebook page 51 to 55.
Very important to study this Ebook which explains the system.

You can set the alerts to True in the SynergyPro TDI indicator. See below.

I believe the answers were already given. All indicators are located in previous post and as explained, you must read the Synergy Pro PDF and watch Dean's Videos for a full understanding of his system. I have the complete Synergy Pro installed with defaults except for the APB colors.

ive just installed the synergy pro system on 4h charts, and just manually backtesting (F12 key) i must say it seems absolutely fantastic. the volatility indicator along with the synergy pro arrows just seems to nail the big moves time after time.... wow really looking forward to demo testing this forward in the new year. it will all be about keeping the whipsaw losses down ( helped by the volatility indi i think)

festive greetings and a happy new year to all , heres looking forward to 2014

you cant really (although synergy pro can help reduce it) - the thing is to cut losses during whipsaw periods and maximise those big runs, but scaling in, part close and trailing the rest, etc - basically money management

the question is how do we TMS traders identify when market is sideways or range bound.

this is open for discussion here, while the market is still going through very low liquidity until the holidays is over.

I don't see any 4-hour swing trade opportunities in such low liquidity market condition, probably not until the week03/2014 i.e. starting 13 January 2014 onwards.

Oh, we could argue a little about that, I remember last year when the eurodolla went nuts right around NYE... so there is no rule set in stone here, really... the markets are open, liquidity is just not there and will come back without warning.

Which of the SynergyPro arrows are you refering to?
There is arrows for the 1.TDIcross 2.MBLcross 3.APB 4.TDIhook.

And also TradeAlert set to true is sending a messege on screen going "All short/All long"

i meant the arrows on the APB bars. coupled with the volatility indi, you really cant go wrong. just do a manual backtest (im using 4h charts) and you'll see what i mean.

currently have the arrows on the TDI cross set to false. this system does not necessarily rely on taking the cross, although when you get a good signal you want to check on the state of the TDI obviously.

Thanks :-)
What is your exit strategy - No more green/yellow arrows? Color change of last bar? Bar in PAC? Other?

actually when you get a valid signal the synergy pro system actually prints initial stop loss, profit target 1 and profit target 2 directly on your chart. when i demo, i might automate some of this with MPTM with custom part close / trail rest of position settings inspired by emmanuel


please refer to screenshot:

The APB bar arrow alert dont show up with potential SL and TP1, TP2 and TP3 on the chart.

Those potential levels only show up when the TradeAlert function is triggered.

Does APB arrows re-paint or after the bar close the color stays the same? I have been using original TMS but noticed some folks are working on new Synergy Pro system here in last few pages, so thought I might add this in my tool box.

Thanks in advance.

dont forget TMS and synergy are not 100% mutually exclusive

and the recent iterations of TMS that we see here are not pure TMS at all, more like an evolutiuon of the system, with different trade systems using the TDI almost as a confirmation rather than the crosses as its 'heart' as Big E laid out

so i dont think that talking about synergy pro is all that jarring to the thread. im certainly glad i heard about it here, i feel it will totally be a game changer to my manual trading. didnt realise there was a synergy thread on FF, will google it now

Bizzzle, thanks for posting all of these Dean Malone videos. Just now I scrolled down to "Trading Synergy with Moving Averages," where he goes into trading the synergy method with the TDI. Since he's the creator of both the Synergy Method and the TDI, it would be reasonable, I think, to assume they'd work together. But the suggestion wasn't about using them together; rather it was about discussing/exploring that approach on the TMS thread, since Big E only included the TDI when originating the thread.

You got it.... even if you trade PURE TMS, his explanation of the use of the TDI is a must read for full understanding.
