{quote} Hi friend Just a quick question.What is your trigger TF Reason I am asking your TDI can be read totally different from different TF
My trigger timeframe depends where my Support and Resistance is at the time of trade.

,,,and to make matters worse,,, when I took the trade the TDI was crossed up and now its crossed down ,,lol so you would be tempted to go short.

I took the cross up above the 50 line, as a strong sign to go long once I was happy with my Support.

Still not clear besides S/R TDI can show cross at 5min 15min but in 1h looking opposite.Just trying to understand your thought process.What time frame TDI cross is relevant to you

{quote}{quote} Well ok, lost some again today on scalpies, but again loaded a bit (15:1) and running for few intraweek targets. EU: 1,13285 1,13577 1,14346 GU: 1,55596 1,5645 Xau: 1194,371.. Will add more partials, but those charts keep on moving so gotta do recounts . Stops now: Xau: 1175,98 1174,941 1170,234 UJ: 123,672 GU: 1,54864 1,53802 EU: 1,12031 1,11659 NU:0,69611 Lotsa stops (hope I havent typo) edit: ofc scaling stops as we move. GL this week, T
Deleting first partial on GU and moving greedy to 2nd. See, have made error in post and posted 5645 partial as SL.

Scaling Stops on Xau and GU.. moving..55095 1177,625 (ofc part of those rest stops remain, am moving in levels)

edit: btw, EU stops missed 5,5 pips during Dragass speech, but chart not high enough to move stops...currently at 1256 intraday R..once breaks I move em.

I don't really have enough positive trades to be able to give a definitive answer to your question Davit.

However, I believe trends start in the small timeframes and work their way to the larger timeframes. I believe a 5 minute TDI cross carries as much weight as a Daily cross,,,, it just depends if PA is in a range or trending.

I have been interested in volume for quite a while as well,,,,,, so I try and use volume to read PA and pick out potential turning points.

GBPCAD H1 Long ,,,, I have gone long before Resistance expecting PA to fly past it,,,,, I've got a dodgey platform so I've put on a Trailing Stop in case PS turns at Resistance and my platform freeezs again {image}

,,,, closed that +6. I didn't see the momentum I expected so I'll wait and watch

Don't use TDI, but it is my understanding using extremes as opposed to 50 is more reliable as well as angle.

Have you tried any of these?

,,, yes I have used the angle before,,,, the indie was chewing up too much of my CPU.
I'm actually doing ok at the minute. I try and filter the crosses as much as I can and so far my losses are minimal but obviously I need to continue at this rate for 6+ months before I can say whether I'm profitable or not.

Ok good luck, just some things I am aware of with TDI.
