{quote} Hi, Scorps, thx for your reply. I will definitely consider your suggestions. But can I also ask how u look for trades using TMS? Or what is your trading routine every week? If any other senior member has anything to contribute, your comments are welcomed! THX in advance! Shuo
I am trying to follow these rules...i got this from another thread...it looks like a lot of things to consider....but basic stuff.. if you practice it takes very little time...Order can be limit or market....Depends on the situation

Good Luck

Hi Guys,

Do pardon my ignorance. The original template has the TDI and Stoch indicator. However, the TDI only as a green and red line. Seems that the evolved strategy now has a pair of blue bands and a yellow line. May I know what those are and where can I download this indi?

Thank you in advance.

I have received several PM's over the past couple of months asking me if I am still trading this system and asking me to post some charts. While I do not intend to become active in this thread again, I thought I would post a couple of charts showing trades that I took this week. I do stop by and read posts occasionally. Lastingwell, ScorpS and the rest of you, keep up the good work. The simple system outlined by Big E works and I am grateful he shared his insights with us all before he passed.{image}{image}

Thank you, Phx62 for sharing your trades. What is the name of the indicator?
Can you share with us? I am looking for a long time.

Hi Omonisha,

Thank you for your swift reply. My guess is those are the bands? Can I ask what do I color to get the yellow line?

Adding to that, anyone will be so kind as to point me to the relevant posts that describes the use of these 2 indis.

Thank you in advance.

Hello,
I have a question for you. I downloaded TDI MTF indicator. Below the picture you can see how I understood trading under this indicator.
It makes me very happy, because it's absolutely perfect!
It made ​​me question. Is this manual backtest real?
I do not know how this indicator works in live time.
It works so that, after each candle is fixed and unchanging state?
Some indicators have the ability to re-regulate already written the history of the indicator.
If no change, so it would mean a very good trade tool!
Do you understand me? I'm sorry, I can not speak English and the text I have to translate:-)
Thank you for any response friends :-)

That moving average based indiator is his private indicator which he doesn't share with others. He never make trading decision based on that indi anyway. You won't need it. There are a huge number of other trend indicators for the same usage.

As there are quite a few new traders here I thought I would take the time to post about the jpy crosses, before I take a trade on gj, ej, aj etc I look to see if the corresponding currencies are trading in the right direction which they need to be for the trade to make a decent move. Example: Multiply the price of EU by the price of UJ and you will get the price of EJ. Likewise for AJ (AU x UJ) and GJ (GU x UJ) etc etc. As they work like that its very simple to realise that for a decent move to be made, both the main currencies either have to be...

Very important post, thanks for bringing that back to the thread

I am trading 5 pairs ( EU/EJ/EA - GU?GJ ) and am happy I did choose those to trade, there's some nice correlation between hem that allows me to take benefit of them , at least in some occasions not all the time, for example, when looking to trade GJ, I can also look to trade GU in the same way if conditions are set to follow on both pairs.

Ok then if am looking to buy EA but EJ amm not looking in agreement to go up ie side way then the EA buy can fairly miserably fall of the wagon

Or if I want to short EA, I would be looking if conditions are okay to short EJ too

So on and so forth ....

Hope you don't mind me butting in Omonisha

Pipotron when you have metatrader running right click on your chart > indicators list > which will bring up an applet with TDI listed, notice the edit delete buttons, click the indicator then the edit button which will open the edit applet, click colors you should see numbered 1 -> 6 with colors or some with the word none, double click on the field the color is in which will bring a color-chart to the fore. If you can't see yellow on your chart when you load it onto your charts it means it is turned of in that field, just click on it and change it to yellow.

As to using the indicator you really need to go back to the start of the thread and read up on it there, eelfranz laid it out there when he started the thread, updating it when he needed to, that's where it all starts. Maybe the first 30 pages. I'd say also to play with MT4, learn what different things do, only way to learn I reckon.

Also Xaphod tells the original TDI does not work properly in mt4 build 600+, it's been reposted as TDI-sub by him here http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...83#post7301483
TDI sub only has the 3 main colors; red,green,yellow,

For the blue lines you mention they are in both TDI MTF and TDI-RT-clone. Not sure but think they may represent BB Bands. I don't use them. Turn them on or of in the same way, right click chart etc etc.
Again a Xaphod link where they are to be found is

{quote} You must have the setup across 2 times frame, ie if you want to enter a trade on H1, you must have a confirmation on H4 , else you might see more negative results , at least this is what am trying to test and if that prove to be right then I am gonna share with TMS Example, you get to see the perfect setup on H1, now you go back to H4, you check 2 things, TDI location, ie crossing or whatever criteria to confirm your H1 entry, and you check PA on H4, if PA and TDI on H4 confirm your thoughts process on H1, then you take the trade on H1 ,...
This is what I have found all the way through my trading, whatever system it is and whichever indicators you use to enter, the higher timeframes must be ready to turn around or its not going to go anywhere I think I posted it quite a few times now . Its the thought process that made me put the higher timeframe TDI on the chart but that way I'm still missing a lot of information, so I now have the charts separately and told myself not to be so lazy I actually now have 3 charts open for each currency, if I'm trading H1 then I look for a good cross on that timeframe, then I glance at m15 and H4 if they are all in agreement in some way then I take the trade. If H4 doesn't agree I stay out of the trade, if M15 has moved quite a way since its last cross and looks set for a pullback then I wait for that first. Phx62 has his charts in the same way, m15, h1 and h4 and only takes price action on H1 into account along with the cross or near cross of the TDI.

If you look at the images below, these are the kinds of things I look for. H1 cross and PA first, m15 is looking good with a lovely bounce up of the tdi along with being flat for quite a while, h4 pulled back from support, the next candle was a doji and the next candle is where I would go in (vertical line) along with a check mark reversal of the tdi on h4 its a no brainer.

If I'm trading h4 then I have h1, h4 and D1 open, the most important being the higher timeframe. I only look at the lower timeframe just in case it looks set for a pullback. For instance if there is what looks like a good trade on h4 but h1 has already moved 5 or 6 candles in that direction then I will usually wait for a pullback.

Thanks lastinwell

Yes this is exactly what I have been testing , its believing really what matters in this kind of trading that makes the difference in getting the results from TMS, I have never used to do this even you have mentioned that many times, didn't really understand it until recently exactly last week when the light bulb went on in regards for the importance of looking at the higher time frame H4, Daily and the lower time frame ie m15 to take the trade on H1, with this TMS you can be successful, without this , you will be faced with the circle that wont get you no where but under water

So from this week on, do what lasting well has shown above , try it as long as it takes, one day it will click in the subconsciousness and it will be second nature for your trading and before you take any trade, and the results will come later

Hi lastingwell,
Thank you for sharing your experience and the way you look for trades, very interesting indeed.
Will try to do this from now on.
I ONLY trade on the 4H charts. I look for trades and enter them on the same 4H charts. Is this a wrong way to trade? Will my entry be too late if I didn't drop down the the 1H?
Is the TDI settings different for the 4H charts?

Thank you for all your guidance..
