couldnt agree more with this post on all counts also sticking to H4 charts with your H4 + D1 mtf tdi system, my extra twist is im also using nanningbob 10.7 CSS (currency strength) info page for added confirmation. the CSS also helps me decide on the strength of a move and roughly how long i should stay in. i must say this is the first time im trading TMS with confidence and making sound trades, obviously there are losers but im definitely getting an edge. many thanks lastingwell and if this continues i may well be in the position of owing you a...


Hey mate. Could you post the indicator download for CSS and also maybe a chart if how it looks for a buy signal and sell signal. What's the things you look for on the CSS when entering a trade?


many thanks

hey jagpal

remember to use lastingwells setup with the added D1 TDI mtf as well

please look here for info of how to download / use CSS info. cant really sum it up in a few words and posting a screen is useless without you knowing what it means. but you'll see screenshots pretty soon on the following page:

Just in time....I came home to find my ECad had taken profit. I had decided if it hadn't by the time I got home I would take it out because of NFP this afternoon. Took it in the first place because it was such a lovely angle on the h4 tdi and the D1 tdi was still up. I took it at the open of the bar, but didn't take the pic until later because I forgot but as it hadn't moved anywhere much I took the pic anyway. This was an experiment to do like Bizzle suggested and thats when it gets to +50 move to BE and set a take profit of 100. I would have taken it out if the D1 tdi had started to move down but it didn't. I really thought it was going to be taken out yesterday and it only missed my BE +1 stop loss by 2 pips but I am trying to discipline myself I set it at 97 pips just below the high of 14th just in case.

Good trade lastingwell, yes learning this is very good, I myself trying to do that, now I have taken a trade on EU , but exited at +24, initially after news and even before that I was looking for long on EU pair, the spike started at the news release, so thought that this trade was over and no chance to take that long anymore, any waited for M15 bar of news to close and then went long on the next bar M15, PA reached almost the high of News spike and hesitated to pass through, lots of red candles on M5 and most likely PCRF reversal pattern forming, again another red news was due on EU , so decide to close manually for 24 pips

Non farm results were negative on US so that adds to my reasoning for exit , wanted to see more momentum at this stage but instead PA struggling to pass resistance

First pic the plan before news release, second is the trade after exiting , will you do it any other way or the exit was reasonable?

Happy Weekend TMS

In the heat of big news I'm not sure that I would have traded it differently to you, but I think I would have been tempted to stay in the trade and move to BE just in case of anything weird happening, because by the time you came out it had turned into a nice h4 trade (on my chart h4 chart at least yours may differ though because of broker times).

I've completely stopped looking at the lower timeframes for reasons to enter and also exit and believe me that is hard for someone who is used to trading m5 and m15 Because I've found, for me, I'm too easily swayed by them, so now I look for those reasons on the timeframe higher, I've looked at the chart and can't see a reason to exit there that I would now take, H4 was moving up still, D1 had crossed up at last and under normal circumstances I would still be in the trade having moved to BE. As I said though, in the heat of news etc that may have been different.

Ok lasing well , thanks again, I will look to do it once again in the future when signal present and will try to add more confirmation before closing manually, yes momentum was there, H4 bar was still strong with little retracements, so I might be looking for EMA 10 to hold on h1 and the angle of the cross of TDI on the higher time frame as well before taking the plunge and exit the trade , will test that and hope it improves some of the trades in the future

Thanks again

Your help would be much appreciated.

Hi guys,

I got a copy of the synergy pro indicators which are amazing! it tells you what to do plus its a lot safer to go with it as a beginner just to learn. It gives you alerts when to buy or sell. Is there a way i could have the alert sent to my email? I had a look in the indicators settings but there is no option for it, is there a way i could still get it sent to my email?

Hello Raza, that is the only downfall of that indicator it doesn't have the mbl line on it, but what I have been doing when backtesting is I have the normal tdi-mtf on the chart which shows the mbl and then underneath it I have the zz indicator so I have an idea of where the mbl was by the one above it. As I mainly look at it for seeing where the higher timeframe cross was this is good enough for my needs, I'm not sure how you would add it into the indicator I suppose we could ask the writer of it.

As synergy pro is a commercial product and as they are all ex4 files, unless you break their copyright and have them decompiled you can't add or take anything away from the files. Its not how we use the tdi on this thread.

Hello Lastingwell,

Thanks for the prompt reply, would you be kind enough to attach the tdi-mtf indicator having the MBL as I dont have the one having the MBL for some odd reason :/

Thanks in advance

I took GBPJPY short@172,625. I think of an TDI bounce trade. What do you think?
