{quote} Dom -- This probably tells us something, but I would be cautious to infer much unless the backtest considers such issues as strong recent S and R areas, proximity of the Ema 200 to price, TDI angle, news, BRNs, daily pivots, any trades counter the main trend, # of candles on current Hieken-Ashi color (is the move likely exhausted), small candles around entry (no momentum) . . . well the list is pretty long. These are things the human trader will look at and pass on some of the trades the backtest platform accepts. This will, naturally, push...
Yes, you've made some good points there. The rules I am using are attached. Although I'm currently not following rules 5 & 6 as I wanted to see what the results would be like if took all trades regardless of the candle move size and with fixed money management. I'm using a 1:1 Risk reward for TG1 at which point half the position is closed and the SL is moved to B/E and then I take TG2 at the first change of candle colour. A 50% win rate isn't necessarily a bad thing as some pairs have returned a good profit due to the winners being so large.

What I like about the system is it's ease of entry and analysis and I think with some tweaks It has potential to be very profitable. I'm going to add in the rule of candle move size and see how that improves results.

I do have a couple of questions though, with the stochastic, do we just wait until the blue line is beyond 80/20 or both the blue and red? And with the TDI, do we wait until just the green line is beyond yellow? or both green & red? Just need some confirmation on these rules.

AUDCHF is heading for a SELL setup on the Daily Chart. Following METHOD 1, the green crosses the red at below the yellow line and stochastic is below 20. But this daily candle is not closed yet (7+hours to go before it closes). Does the rule says we should always wait for a candle to close and enter at the start of a new candle? Now below are some of the reasons why I think we shouldn't open a position yet: 1) The candles are trending upwards in the H1 and H4 timeframe 2) The price is around a support area (see second picture) Thanks barry {image}...
I have also seen this setup. Would you trade short?
For me it looks like it would go up again...

Dom, I am rather new to this forum, although not new to using TDI. So this is simply one man's opinion, but I act when the first line touches the trigger in question. I feel more strongly about the sto getting to 80 or 20. That is getting late in a move, but it often works as Mehdi has shown us. I just don't want to postpone entry any longer.

I, too, welcome the way others use this information for entry. However, there probably is not a 'correct' answer. I suspect it will depend on the aggressiveness of the individual trader.

Dom, you also made an excellent point about a winning % of 50. With appropriate money management this should normally lead to steady profits. Sure, I'd like to win 80% like Mehdi, but I am surely not as skilled as he is.

Great weekend to all.

I am a bit confused with this comment "TDi Green line has crossed red and retraced back to NEAR red" are you saying once the TDI has crossed RED and below MBL ( or above depending buy or sell ) you then wait for a pull back before entering? if so this is not in the original Mehdi rules as I know?

It may not be clear on my rules as I only expect myself to read them usually so I write things that make sense to me! I'm essentially summing up the 2nd option of entry which is the pullback: Quoting Mehdi "or show a rebound" which I'm assuming means a rebound of the TDi indicator back to the Red line? Maybe someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

I believe Mehdi is referring to a pullback of the greenline back toward the redline and then a rejection off the redline back in the direction of the trend.

I just built a mini EA on this trade system and it seems to work best on a 1H chart. I couldn't get to make anything profitable on any other TF. Also the best pair I found working was the GBPJPY, only use method 1 and SL 120, BE 120 and TP 360. Not too bad, I'm going to look at this again to see if there is something that could have been done to filter bad trades in order to keep more of the profits being made. Thanks for your thread!

The only pull back as such will be a bounce trade, no pull back if you have a steep angle TDI crossing over.

imo daily setups using method 1 are far more rewarding than H4 setups using method 2. You need 3-4 H4 setups using method 2 to make the amount of pips whereas method 1 with Daily charts you only need 1 to get the same result/pips. This week again i managed to get about break even (not to forget my bad choices of trades and not waiting enough for the right setups to occur), if i used the method 1 all along i would've got a couple of hundred pips just from the aud/cad setup which occured last week on daily let alone all the setups combined. Next week...
Be interesting to see your results o just the 1 method this week coming, I live in the UK so not really possible to trade the daily open.

I don't know if you posted the link as a joke, whether you were offended by me talking about an EA here or whether you were being serious.

The link you posted has nothing to do with TDI.

Having said this, I did not further talk about this EA as I didn't want to offend. I quite respect the thread and think the method is brilliant.

Thanks Mehdi for sharing this very profitable system. I managed to get 7 signals on friday of which 6 were winners and one was a loss (It had been in profit did not adjust sl).

Anyway It does seem a very profitable system as i netted over 400 pips on the first day with ur system.

I am higher tf trader so just set up email notifications and check the necessary charts with signals at 4 hour intervals.

Green pips to you all.

Thanks Mehdi again and God bless
