LazyTrad3r, do you mean only enter long if the green line is above white line? And only short when green line is below white line? Thanks for giving your opinion! 😎😎

Just entered short NZDJPY and NZDUSD. Is my entry correct? any comments please? Thanks {image} {image}
I like it much !
I just prefer the " old red and green TDI " , because itīs a sharp view on it.
But all in all itīs a good setup

{quote} Hello mate, I'm using Trading View. You can set up alerts on the TDI when it crosses. I set up an alert to send to my e-mail and SMS whenever the TDI crosses on any of my 12 currency pairs I trade. Once it crosses and the candle closes I'll enter. Here is a video of when the alerts come up. PS: The next 4H candle opens in 15 minutes (3pm AEST) for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0kaz0BjO88

Took this trade on EA H1 this morning before going to work, it looked good at the time, price had closed below BRN 1.51, TDI had crossed down entered just after the open of second red candle then went to work. Any comments on what I did wrong would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

what I did wrong
I'm not a pro here, but what I see:
(1. If you work at H1 as the original system author then you should enter after the first bar htat crossed TDI)
If you are ready to take that PA is more important then TDI crosses, then:
2. At D1 you can see uptrend (with 1 yesterday bear candle only)
3. At H4 you can see retracement, yes, but
4. Even at H1 you can see that price tested and bounced from the nearest support line

So, you should do one of 2 things:
1. Wait for solid break of the support
or
2. Set SL higher, at the nearest resistance

IMHO!

Thx for uploading this but TDI is written for mt4. How do we get TDI on trading view? Is there any way to import mt4 indicator on TV? Or there are seperate set of indicators?

Hi Next,
I saw that one forming but didn't take it.
My reasons for not taking the trade (in no particular order)
1. Wicks on the previous and entry APB were grey which always gives me a warning.
2. Entry APB didn't have much momentum (smallish)
3. APB didn't quite close outside of the PAC (on my setup anyway)
4. TDI did not give a clean cross
5. DOL and YL both nearby and EA respects them
6. General trend to me was bullish so I would have needed to see good momentum before entering.
In situations like you had it can be worth waiting a few minutes to see what the next APB is going to do before entering.
Hope this helps

Dear Emmanuel:

I listened to what you said and spent a couple hours updating the charts and used multi TF (M15, D, W and M) so I can get the sense of market within couple minutes

Hey all,

I'd like to share my charts on EURUSD and I'd appreciate some feedback!

Do you agree with the monthly zones drawn? I read Naked Forex recently and I spent quite some time looking at historical charts and it makes sense but drawing these lines myself is not always as straightforward as it sounds/looks.

What do you think about the 4H Signal?

Any other things I should consider?

Best,

Hey guys,

I have a question about ENTRY of this system. The system rules say to enter when TDI crosses the red line, however, the TDI still repaints after the cross until the candle closes, but the rules say to enter at OPEN of candle. I lost 5 trades today because I entered at candle OPEN when TDI crossed but later to realize that by the end of that candle's CLOSE the TDI hooked the other way around. Are you supposed to enter at the next candle open after the cross happens or something? What am I missing?

Here's a graphic of what I mean. Can someone clarify when the entry would be? At point 1,2, or 3? Just want to point out that I entered @ 2. But in my 5 other trades when candle 2 closed the tdi changed complete different directions and so it was not a good move.

you use the TDI which is not reatlime version. It repaints the history bars.

Look at he TDI compare below captured in realtime.

After charts was refreshed, nboth the TDIs look exactly the same. Below:

Solution:
1) Read the Price Action using the real Price Bar or Japanese Candlestick.
2) Always wait for the candle to close then check the TDI.

That is why eelfranz said:
#1 PA
#2 TDI


the "problem" is the TDI compares the Close price of the previous bar with the current bar. So by looking at the price bar Open, High, Low and Close, you can determine the TDI Green line behaviour ahead of the indicator.

Hi Emmanuel, Got couple baskets running at moment, some good some developing. Your thoughts on my EU trades. I am trying to only entering on 4h once I have established long-term trend on Day and Week. Using ME/ME strategy, putting your suggestions into practice. Currently have 3 positions open, each .2% risk, so only .6% total risk currently..as per 4h chart. Stops above 1.1230. Im starting to think that I'm caught in a wide ranging market so will not enter anymore positions. Am I going about it the correct way or should I look at closing out positions?...

Hi bigpips,

Sorry for the delay, I was on the road all day and feeling really tired.

EU is in very wide range as what we see on the MN chart. We follow the Weekly candle bias so stay on the seller side.
You have 3 good entries and with position sizing done correctly you know where the breakeven level for these 3 open positions is.
The BE should be between the 2nd and 3rd open positions.
The D1 looks threatening but your SL must be above the MN WRB high or the previous 2 Weeks high for you to do your position sizing.
The total risk is still 1% if you have opened maximum 5 ME trades.

regards,
