Phx62 or any of the other seniors in this thread. I am slightly confused with my TDI and after some help. As you can see from my screenshot (TDI1), I am using Phx62's template. However my TDI seems to be printing differently.

Last Wednesday (24th), my TDI (TDI1, attached) green line did not cross the red trade signal line during the London session. However, Phx62's screenshot (TDI2, attached) shows a cross over the red TS line and then an immediate cross back over. As far as I know, we are both running the same TDI settings, (13, 0, 34, 2, 0, 7, 0). I realise the aspect ratio of the particular screen setup can appear to smooth or unsmooth the TDI but I cannot see how it would ever create TDI crosses. Have I missed a change in TDI settings somewhere?

I have uninstalled the TDI I was using, and installed the copy that Phx62 attached in post 24,446 (This is the one shown in my screenshot attached). I have also noticed that once I installed this mine merely states "TDI" in the top, left hand corner of the indicator window, whereas Phx62's states, "www.compassfx.com".

Any help would be much appreciated as I am completely stumped

I was thinking about the same , I need to check my TDI with the one Phx62 uses , ie if there are any differences, for the time being, is CompassFX TDI available or you have to buy that ?

Don't know if it helps or is relevant, but Emmanuel once mentioned that the original TDI RSI on this thread has a setting of 13 whereas Dean Malone at compassfx later changed his TDI RSI to 10 so it's probably worth checking the setting . Also as you probably know different servers in different time zones would make a difference.

From what I can see on their website, I can only find TDI for Tradestation and not for MT4...

Thanks Tanglewood, I've tried the change you mentioned and interestingly, it did make my chart more similar to Phx's.

I'm unsure how different server times across different time zones would affect a 1HR chart... I understand that if you're trading the 4HR and your candles are starting at a two hour offset to someone else then your chart would look different, but on a 1 hour chart, all candles should be forming across the same time periods so should look identical. At least that was my thinking... unless I've missed something.

This is the one downloadable from the compass site and seems to match phx62, only the colours can be changed.

Its depends on the close time used by broker. If your broker is using gmt+2 close(last 1hr candle closes when us market closes) then it should look like phx62's chart which is preferred technically. If broker is considering different close time then it will not show same candle and thereby change in tdi in all time frame. I hope this will help you to understand.

Took this one at the open of the Asian session yesterday. Don't usually trade at that time of the day but after the news from NZ I thought I'd be reckless for once and go for the ride. Managed to lock in 85pips!

Hi pips, mind telling what this line in the screenshot arrowed is? Thinking it must be some kind of indicator, I've seen scorps using it as well but not been able to figure it out. Think it's something to do with daily high/low but,,, I have the indicator in the second part of the screenshot. Cheers

Apologies for being inactive for some time, awkward time in my career.
Anyway, took a trade a 12 hours-ish ago.
missed my TP at 1215 by the spread, just got to the office and closed out.
Taking a reverse scalp on the M15, TP SL 20pips either way, may close out earlier according to the PA.

Looks like a higher TF candle that is drawn on a lower TF to me
