Hello All, I've just changed broker and downloaded their MetaTrader4. I have the TDI-MTF v1.03 ex4 and mq4 in my indicators folder. Unfortunately, where the TDI-MTF should be on the chart is just a blank window. Can anyone please help me or direct me to where on the thread this has been discussed/resolved. Thanks, Kan
I've attached the 2 indicators I have that work ok on mine. Delete both the ex4 and mq4 versions you have in the folder and just put the ex4s attached here because they were compiled in the older version of mt4 and should work ok on their own then restart mt4.

{quote}The best thing about synergy/HA bars is that you don't have to worry very much about candle patterns because if the pin bar had been a confirmed pin bar (ie. breaking the top of the high) the synergy bar would have turned blue. The bars haven't turned blue because its not a confirmed pin. Take a look yourself at a japanese candle pattern chart and compare it to when the colour changes on a synergy candle and you will see what I mean.
Hi Lastingwell,

Thanks for this info on the HA candles. In your opinion, is it good enough to say that the trend has changed once the HA candle changes color? I have never been great on candlestick pattern recognition (PCRF for example), so hoping this is the case :-)

Regards!

{quote} Do you mind sharing your S/D indi? P.S It draws zones automaticlly ?
I found the Sup/Dem indicator on the 'Price Action Made Simple By Supply and Demand' thread. There are some others on the 'One Minute Wonder' thread but they wouldn't work or compile on later builds of MT4.

They do a reasonable job but you would probably be a good idea to sit through some Sam Seiden webinars to see how they work and so you can filter weak zones.

S/D is not really required for TMS though, where the TDI rules. They help me identify the trend (demand being created as opposed to supply, in an uptrend for example) and setting stops.

Not that the trend has changed particularly, but certainly they confirm candle patterns. If you see a reversal candle pattern on a japanese candle chart, then look at the synergy/HA candles, they will have confirmed the same candle pattern by changing colour.

Here I want to show a failed trade on GBP / JPY. I entered because of the good TDI formation and because of a weekly historical resistance. Please take a look at the chart in the moment when I did the trade and at the chart some hours later. It´s looks really different. Please feel free to comment Best regards, Fx94 {image} {image} {image}

Hi Fx94,
The chart should explain the problem with the H1 setup.

{quote} Hello WDays, Regarding Fractal Trailing; keep in mind that if you use a fractal trailing stop, you want to set the "buffer" to at least a pip or two, to give the vacillation of the trade's heart-beat a little breathing room. And remember, because it is easy to forget this: place the Fractal Trail EA on a chart with the time frame you are playing out your trade. I often place most trades on an M5 chart because I'm looking for dips to enter on... but if it's a longer term trade based on TMS H4 period, I have to remind myself to add an H4 period...
Hey, thanks a lot for this. I don't use an EA, I trail manually, which is probably why I screw up 9/10 times I always forget to account for spread.

We'll see what the next hours (EUR news) will bring us. Perhaps you can gain some more pips on H4-TF. I wish you the best.

TDI cross looks good, but I am a little concerned about the MBL, which reached in meantime very oversold territory.

Thanks pal.
Yes i know some things about S/D and i know it has nothing to do with TMS but i just want to know at which zones is better to stay out.

Hello lastingwell,
Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, this does not work so I'll be switching back and forth to the higher time frame till I find a solution.

Wdays, Trading manually is the easiest (and best) way to trade anyways, unless you are sleeping and have an "out of body experience"" and your ecto-plasmic ghost knows how to trade. Most ghosts don't, ...they usually just sit in the corner of the dark room watching you while you're sleeping and constantly wonder what the hell time it is. I doubt you screw up that much, if at all. The market gives us what it wants. Sometimes it gives us what we want. Sometimes it doesn't. But there's always another tomorrow.

I like your and fxFox.mb method of entry, after a pull back in the trend. Did you use Stop Orders to enter the trades?

I know the AUD/JPY is not going to plan, they are not all going to work, if you have at least +1 Higher Time Frame (HTF) in your favour then that is your edge.

Hi Ominisha, sorry I'm blabbing away here. He probably means a "Buy Stop" or Sell Stop" pending order, unless he has some broker that still supports FOK (Fill or Kill) which I haven't seen since my stock trading days of the late 1980's.

By the way, I don't think the little tiny lick, stick and peel tattoos my student gave me (temporary tattoos) were actual tattoo stickers, because they just dissolved. I think I'll sign out for the rest of the day.
