{quote} What Eric couldn't have known was how many people he would inspire to use the TDI. As I have said, each person sees TDI behaviour and its interaction with pa in a different way and many have contributed their perspective to the thread e.g. Phx62, Zoopots, dcginc, Britpip etc. and we are all richer for that. As Realjumper has said, the simple mechanics of Forex Factory make starting your own thread a serious, time-consuming and burdensome undertaking. Britpip has started his own thread trading the Daily chart with the TDI but understandably,...
What E did know and wisely said was a successful system will become a blur when diluted with untested additions. He vocally disagreed when his masterpiece began looking like abstract art. Start a new thread with your toy box of tools and see how successful it is. E was a well read man that took pieces from several TDI systems and created his own. He didn't try use a wrecking ball to someone else's. He started his own and did give credit to others for his success.

Hi guys - I am new to this! and i have read through the posts about the system. From my understanding this is what you do... 1. Green crosses red - Buy (wait for 2nd candle if unsure) 2. Red crosses green - Sell (wait for 2nd candle if unsure) 3. If flat - Pass 4. If in profit from 2nd candle onwards set a stop loss at the price you bought so if it turns against you, you loss nothing. Can someone tell me whats the diff between stoch and TDI? both show the same thing really dont they? this is my set up {image} Am I missing anything or anything i...
I think you need to go back and read some more posts. Not sure also why you a heiken ashi indicator at the bottom of the chart that simply tells you the colour that the candles are above? Not really any point to it. As far as the question about your lot size and how much of your own money you're investing, that is what a demo account is for. Take note of everything like that and you will learn more quickly.

As far as this sentence goes:

Read properly the posts on the thread and watch the behaviour of the two when the market is moving, I don't think you will need to ask that one again.

Thanks for the reply. As for my understanding so far about the green and red lines is that correct???


Yes I know that indicator is pointless but it was just something I was looking at makes the screen look more interesting to look at :-p

@jag.

TDI's main signal is the green. Green crosses up = buy, green crosses down = sell.
There are still other things to take into consideration and TDI gives you many other hints.

TDI was created by Dean Malone and I think it is a good idea to check out his vid about TDI. His method is slightly different than TMS but his explanation about TDI was a great insight for me.

Came to the party a little late on this one contrary to the rules but, seeing the channel it is in it looks like high odds to meet first target before moving to BE.

Hi Jag,
For a shortcut, you will find good tips from reading a few latetest quotes from Lastingwell.

Given the steep down trend this one seemed a little risky but, the TDI bounce looks good and price has broken through the trend so I decided to "gamble" on this one and go long.

Nice and clear chart Gcgman. would be nicer if it could be entered fr H1 for better entry due to against heavy downtrend (my view only)

Thank you for your comments Likica. I came in on this one a little late also...I was just away and didn't settle down until later than I should have been. I am a lazy trader and don't trade less than four hour charts. I used to trade mostly 30m but, wised up in large part due to this thread. My systolic blood pressure has literally gone down 20 points and my diastolic 15 points since giving up trading in the smaller time frames. Timing for entry would have been 20 pips more profitable if I had gone by the one hour charts. Only time will tell if that will prove to be crucial or not.

EA trade reached first target and second position is now showing guaranteed profit with a 40 pip trailing stop. I have 2 positions on each of three other currencies all profitable but, some moving much slower than others. Funny thing this greed/fear battle. If I had closed all my positions 15 minutes ago I would have made 180 pip profit for the evening and that has now dwindled down to 160. The greed in me is helping me to stay in the trades in hopes of more gains. If the PA turns against me I will hurry and close them out to preserve what little gains I have made.

Hi! Likica

Just because I said looks o/sold on H1 doesn't mean it won't go down further. I am not responsible for your trades, ok
