Big E notes on HA candles:

HA candles average a 3-8 candle run in most cases when it reverses... That's why I want to enter on candle 1 or 2 if I see a set up.
A single candle on the 4hr nets you 30-60 pips or more generally.

If it goes 3-4 candles you've already made 80-150 pips.

When using Japanese candles you see up down up down and your stressed to the max during your trade...

It's more calming to trade HA candles.



It seems to me that he used HA candles to enter and make pips...no where it is mentioned not to use HA candle to enter the trade. My thoughts...

{quote} As per Big E notes: The key to this method is the Traders Dynamic Index indicator for entries and exits . I also use a Stochastics (8,3,3) indicator. It is ONLY used to confirm direction. Nothing else. We only use Heiken Ashi candles... that's important.
i understand that, im just looking for a TDI indicator with angle and slope values which doesn't refresh

{quote} Thanks LookLeft for always, always answering my needs, no matter how simple they are. I've used the crosshair for SL positioning, but not on tp. I have not thought about it. Thanks again!! Will try tomorrow for faster modification of money management.
Your welcome
I guess you know that once you have your SL and TP setup in a running trade that you can mouse over them and drag to a new setting and it shows you the number of pips and value.

{quote} Thanks Em. Hope your new years is going well so far and let's hope no more tornadoes hit our city lol. Hey Traders, Whilst sitting on the sidelines waiting for the Chinese shenanigans to settle I've opened a smaller account trading only 0.20 lots using Big E's TMS method on the 1H chart only and trading it on European session up to New York session. I usually lock in the profit once it reaches 20 to 30 pips. Easy game this TMS is! Remember the key is the angle of the TDI. The steeper the better. If the TDI is FLAT don't take that trade....
hi, what's a good crossover angle to take a trade?
have probly missed it somewhere

Good Point, as you see I have even removed the wicks from my Heiken Ashi, the wicks do my head, keeps me thinking of reversals which is absolutely the wrong thing to think, works for me.

The less there is to think about, the more you're focused on what you need most.

BIg E notes again:

When checking out the TDI for a possible trade:
Think of a wall clock here and it's arms... you want to see the green line for a long trade at the 12-2 angle for best results and a short trade at a 4-6 angle... This is basic 4x stuff... Don't try to read things into the TDI just so you can get into a trade...

here's what emm said to an earlier post of mine. i have underlined the salient point.

I use both the real price bar and the APB/HA.
The APB/HA has its good use in the Synergy trading model. I look at he APB/HA candle body size and its relation to the upper/lower wick. Read the basic here:
Synergy BASICs : Post#5,695 in X-Man S3 thread for H1 and H4 trading

also this http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...68#post6649768

For price action trade decision, I look at the price bar patterns. For example when the APB/HA show a small candle body which can be first sign of a potential phase change, I will look closely at the price bars. More often than not, the price bars and the patterns will tell the real story not the APB/HA.

Hi guys,

Fxafrica is correct. He's doing his homework and actually going back in the thread. This is what you all need to do guys!

As for a visual guide for the TDI angle here is the old "clockface compass" many of us TMS traders used when we were first starting out with the TDI. We would line up the compass next to our TDI and if the TDI angle fell within the range of either the green area or red area it was a trade!

So save this small picture and if you're in doubt, open the file, stick it next to your TDI and see if your TDI is sharp enough.
After a few weeks you will not need this clockface compass anymore and you'll be able to pick the angles with your own eyes. I promise you.

And seriously, people, Big E (Eelfranz) had vision problems and he was still able to trade the TDI and pick the angles. So if he could do it so well, you guys will do even better if you really commit and apply yourselves!

  1. Save this small clockface compass to your desktop (second attachment).
  2. When you see a nice TDI cross, open your clockface compass picture file.
  3. Drag the small picture on top of your chart and resize the window of the compass so you can see your chart behind it (first attachment below)
  4. See if your TDI's angle fits within the green or the red sections of the clockface.
  5. If the green TDI angle is is good enough take that TDI trade, walk away check back in an hour or two.

Guys I know it might seem very primitive using a picture of half a clock to determine your TDI angle entries but it's the easiest way to train your eyes.
Use it and I promise you'll benefit from it.

There are programs that people have made like the "TDI Angelator" but we don't need that because we have eyeballs and once your eyeballs are trained to spot out the angles you'll be in and out like a ninja.
Don't confuse yourselves by adding extras!

I see time to candle close and pips for running trades. Nothing to do with angles but I might be wrong and Dimi will correct me if I'm wrong

very helpful
may i ask for example , if its a long, we only look at the green line angle right?
and red line for shorts?
or we look at both lines angling up for a long, and down for a short?
