Dear sirs, I've been reading this thread for a while.. And try to use it. But there is a point I can not clear it. Could u please inform me: We open a trade with TDI cross. Its ok but do we have to pay attention red and green lines are looking same direction? I only look green line pointing side. But some of my trades are not profitable. Where do I make misteke? Do I need to look red line direction too?

Sorry for my bed English..

{quote} Hello, can I ask real quick what those 2 MA's are on your Chart window? Thx. D.
Hello, Dirk!

I assume you mean the black ones, right? Those are just the PAC, which comes with the Synergy Pro APB . They are yellow by default, i made them black, because of my light background.

Hi Holyrose,
Think of a clock, if you are buying green needs to point between 12 and 2. For selling between 4 and 6. It is a safer trade if red and green are heading in the same direction.

{quote} Thanks for the respond TSS. Yes, I actually bought the software as I reckon I'd need alot of practise. However, unlike MT4 where indicator can be easily port over, I seems to have difficulties setting up the TDI on my FT2. Do you use FT2 for your TMS backtesting?
Yes I do use that, now in order to import TDI into FX 2, load a chart, say EU H1 chart, right click on the chart, and choose Indicators, search and find Trader Dynamic Index and load it onto chart, make sure to apply that to all other time frames and ur good to go

U can find the APB Synergy candles on there forum, just do a google search , good luck

{quote} Hi all, My platform provides me with a built-in backtest possibility,
I hope am not going against any rules here, yes I do own Forex Tester 2, its a live market, other testing software wont do you much, u cant go and see what other time frames are doing while let say taking a trade on H1, so they are lacking and wont help you much in building a price action plan with TDI , this strategy is a hardcore one, you need a lot of work to make it in trading, so doing little testing and stuff wont take u anywhere , it has to be done in proper environment so that it means something and 100s of hours has to be spent in backtesting to be on top

{quote} Mark One Eyeball No indicator points to an entry or exit but the TDI is used as a confirmation.



Ah MOE! I knew I had the advantage with only one good eye. :nerd:

Seriously though, if I have to squint to see the crossover then it isn't time to enter or exit yet. I don't know how many times 'the squint' rule saved my butt by being patient and waiting for clarity.

Edit: I also religiously use the 12-2 and 4-6 o'clock direction of the 2sma.

MOE lives!

Thanks TSS! Did not notice there's TDI indicator. FT2 do not have APB Synergy candles but I think Heiken Ashi would be a good replacement.

Appreciate the help!

update to http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...57#post8615757

USD got oversold much faster than I thought it would for the set up. Most of it benefited cable. but the USD has broken through the triangle which is enough for good move back to the safety of inside the triangle if that is the line that it will take into fomc rate raise or no raise.

my guess is no raise. hearing lots of clucking and purring from the fomc federales.

macro look has not changed except maybe to add that new highs in USD comes slower if no rate hike but stocks grind higher.

Folks Just wondering if people are having any issues trading this method with EU?

I know the ADR for EU has changed - 128 at time of writing PHX62 used to post back in 2012, but not EU ADR is now like 68....

So the same 50 SL and TP may not be applicable anymore.

Thanks all.

You have to adapt to changing ADR , that's a fact in trading in general, Phx62 used a 50-50 pips stop and take profit , but that 50 pips stop is just an emergency stop, in case of unwillingly spikes occurs while he is in a trade, he does cut losers short before they hits that 50 pips emergency stop

As well as what TSS has said you need to know how ADR is calculated. Looking at EU at the moment I see the following (if my sums are right)
Yesterday =75, Weekly = 68, Monthly = 87, 180 days = 120.
So when someone talks about ADR you need to know what period they are talking about.
