{quote} 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..
Its definitely not the wrong way to trade, but I think you will find if you take into account the D1 while you're trading H4 you will take better trades that last longer, it will also keep you out of even good crosses of the tdi that go nowhere. When I'm on H4 I only look at H1 to check if its likely to pullback much if I take the trade, for instance, if the H1 is on its 5-6 blue candle before the h4 signals then you want to be aware there might be a pullback and take that into account without being in a panic about it. If the D1 is not showing some sign of turning around eg. a candle pattern, tdi starting to turn, etc then I won't take the trade its as simple as that. Of course some people feel better taking into account just the 2 timeframes, the important thing is to look at the timeframe higher for guidance as to whether its likely to go very far as a trade.

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...
To backtest you need to download the tdi-mtf-zz indicator that locks the position of the higher timeframe tdi at the close of every candle so you can see properly the position the higher timeframe tdi was in. I've attached it to this post but it can also be downloaded from the paperclip at the top of the page.

{quote} 5-6 o'clock? Thanks
I know there are a lot of words to read and learn from this thread, for newbies like me who got a lot of helps from others since I came here, so I'd like to make it a bit easier for other newbies about entries of TMS method, here is the quote from Big E:
"The candle body must cross 5ema and close to be a set up candle ( of course with TDi green crosses red)
When the next candle opens and is the same color... enter the trade.
Remember that HA candles average 3-8 candles per swing. Therefore,... 5 - 6 candles (not 5-6o'clock) we should expect reversal coming soon.

Thank you likica for making that clearer for MidnightRun I should have said 5-6 candles in that direction not blue candles

{quote}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...
When we Look at 1H TF, should we not consider 30M, 1H and 4H TF's? why 15m tf?
And what session/s do you advice to trade 1H TF?
Your contributions in thread are at par.
Bless you.

I always look at m15 because I find 30m too close to h1 being only 2 bars to make an h1 candle, but its a choice people have to make, if they are more comfortable looking at m30 then its up to the individual. I just took my lead from phx62 if its good enough for him then I figured how successful he is he is doing something right London session is usually good for h1 but as I can't stay in front of my computer all day at the moment I tend to only trade it when I have some time on my hands because it needs more watching than h4 and if I see a good signal while I'm sitting there I will take it whatever the session. You will find that when its very quiet there won't be a good angled cross to take anyway.

Thanks a ton.
I remember a senior (not sure who it was) stating that he will not trade if the Green and Red line (of TDI) are in different direction ... Where as Grand Poopaw in his own words "I never care what Red line does ... Green is the most important line"
What is your take?
TIA
