{quote} Hi flinx, My charts include a Sunday candle. The setup candle was on Friday 4th July the entry was yesterday 7th July. I'm not always waiting for the green to cross red as long as the angle of the green line is 4 to 6 for going short or 12 to 2 for going long and PA looks good then I will set a pending order.
I see, thank you.

While I figure out how to deal with the longer time frames, I'll take an inch up from the 5M to the 15M

Only trade I've taken so far this morning. Missed the bounce type entry on AU15 to get the with the H1/H4 trend. Same with UJ.

Entered going the other way on EA. Divergence + Pin Bars + TDI Cross (albeit a crummy one) + Reached Daily ADR Limit to the Short Side.

EDIT: Oops, I meant to quote my other post, not yours Pips.

One last example of why the close of the previous candle can't be used to see what the tdi looked like at the open of the new one with the tdi. I've been using tms alerts this week so I can monitor more pairs and then when the alert goes off I just see what the cross is like and decide. Looking at EU today, if I look at the close of the 11:00 candle it looks like there was no cross when the new candle opened at 12:00 gmt (13:00 London time) although it had turned up a bit, but the alert went off at 13:00 to say there was a cross (the alert times...
I have found 3 tdi's that offer a choice of letting the indicator modify itself or not. I'm using one from Compass Synergy that has a check off box allowing the line to stay put as the initial open move. If one were to look for closing moves that can be allowed also. I don't recall this option when I started trading TMS several months ago. Any input?

Likica, looks like a good trade you made on ECad. I was wondering what indicator you are using the puts the green and red arrows on your chart?

I'm long on UJ, half size though as the session is over for the most part. Might bring in the target a bit -

Three Drives + Divergence + TDI-X + Retest

Pips, on your NUSD trade, I see you have a ADR indicator. Do you know if its available for MT4 platforms?
What parameters did you use to place that trade and how long do you expect to keep it? I'm new to trading and to this forum, but I suppose you could tell that!

http://www.compassfx.com/synergy/newregister.htm is one site for the TDI that allows modifications. Prior to this it has been somewhat of an issue doing manual backtests. Or even reviewing old charts.

Looks like AUD/USD might be lining up for a long.

It's in line with the longer term trend the green hasn't crossed the red but the angle is good.
