{quote} For me, I was just curious, as Emmanuel uses that Synergy-PRO_TDI, I was puzzled with the question "what is the difference ?" - Difference foundGoing back to trading, probably the real effective results are quite similar, and I honestly can't be bothered to backtest them both seriously to spot out all the differences ... Are you big guys using the "normal" old one mostly right ? Thank you!
You made good obervations with the Synergy_Pro_TDI. In fact years after the first Synergy model was released, the TDI went through a few changes. I think it was in 2008, there was a new Synergy Advance TDI with option to set to TDI (fast) which was in fact giving the traders the option to use the RSI set to period 10 or period 8 (the fast version). Then about 2 years later, the Synergy Pro model was made available but no more user options to change the RSI period.
The new Synergy Pro model has other components added and that came as one compete package. A new enhanced APB and PAC were additions.
Now we just focus on the new Synergy_Pro_TDI and compare that to the TDIReg Green used by Eric since 2011.
Below is the AUDUSD H1 chart with both the TDI on that same chart.
You will see that the new TDI do not show those flat conditions when the price is volatile and this will help traders stay in the trend much longer when we use the TDI for entry and exit. using the old TDI Reg Green and following TMS basic TDI exit rule, many of us would have exit when the TDI goes flat.
So will this new TDI improve profits, yes but that depend on the Money management strategy and how we define our Exit Strategy.
Will changing the RSI period from 13 to 10 speed up the TDI?
Answer is NO.
That only means we will only look at the price strength / momentum of the recent 10 price bars and not 13 bars.
Will changing the RSI period from 13 to 10 give more false signals?
Answer : NO.
We must look at both the RSI momentum and also the new APB and new PAC in the new Synergy Pro model when we trade.
TMS 5-Method is working technical method but the market conditions have changed hence traders must find their own adaptions when they trade with the older TDI versions. We all heard this phrase " there is no holy grail".
I will share more when time permits.
regards,
Edit: I must add here that the APb and new PAC are important componenets when we use the TDI pro version. This will help eliminate those weaker entries on APB#1 and APB#2 using the original Synergy APB posted in thsi thread.
