{quote} Hi Matts Micro, That sounds like you have a 'defective' TDI which is the heart of this Tradeing Made Simple 5-Method. Back-test that TDI and also with the standard RSI period 13, add two simple moving averages - SMA7 and SMA 34 to that RSI data and you will see the Fozzy RSI similar to the TDI. Good Luck with back-testing. PM me when you want some tips on back-testing. {image} regards, EMMANUEL

{quote} Hi emmanuel. Not sure about the "defective" TDI, here is a comparison of the history chart vs the backtest using the same template. You need to look closely because the differences are subtle but it does change the outcome of the system. I have marked a few. Edit: here is the mql4 TDI I am using. If someone knows the language they will be able to investigate. I'm guessing it has to do with when the TPI reads the averages of the open and close prices of a candle. {image} {file}

{quote} Hi. Thanks for the link I had a brief glance but will read more fully when I have time. I seem to remember reading about the TDI indicator I think on this thread when I was researching the system. I read quite a few pages at the start of the thread and plus a few other threads at the same time so I'm not sure of my reference and I may be getting my wires crossed. I thought I read that a particular attribute of the TDI was the way that it calculated the average of the candle for the drawing of the line. The later section of the candle (or...

{quote} medIce, trading on H1 is not that "easy" only to look at TDI and APB candles and press the button. The "naked" TMS as eelfranz traded it, was originally constructed for H4. For trading in H1 you must add more things in your trading decision, so consider the overall trend (look i.e. at the next higher chart - H4), the time in the trading session you are in and have a look at the current price action in your H1 timeframe. Looking at the two charts on H4 I see a consolidation in a downtrend on eurcad (and downtrend on D1) and at least an uptrend...

{quote}That may be the case, I have no idea about those things, others on the thread will know more about the way the original TDI works than I do, what I do know though, is it looks different when it goes fresh onto a chart, so as this does happen and we know it does, there is not a lot of point to comparing the simulator run with a fresh chart.

{quote} This is true, but it is one of the rare times that a simulators results are correct over that of a fresh chart, aside from the current live drawing of the chart.

I'm trying to apply the MTFA on GC (May 14, 14 - 10am 4H trade). Though on 4H, it was: 1) TDI cross with gd angle and above MBL 2) Candle with momentum. It's not recommended to long because it's a counter trend to 4H's trend? Meanwhile on D1 chart, it's consolidation? Please help and thank you. {image} {image}
