OK. I have changed to CLOSE PRICE. The long flat line is weekend.

This is how it looks now:

This is amazing, I was looking at it all wrong! Including weekend flats in your view distorts the picture completely!

Can anyone comment on this?

Hey Tekkies copy TDI Red Green.ex4 From Here and compile it and copy to the Indicator folder or rename TDI indicator to TDI Red Green.ex4 and in Expert edit pairs something like GBPUSDmicro,EURUSDmicro,

Hope it Helps to you.

Thank You.

You have to wait for the confirmation of the cross.
(If you place an order before the cross is confirmed the trend might revise and go against the order placed. You have to wait that the green line show on the other side of the red line.)
Close order ensure also that you do not "chase" a cross meaning the cross must come to you. Download BigE full.pdf all the answers are there waiting for you. A few post back Emm as posted a guide to BigE's forum.
http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...74#post9199974

The short and sweet - that is the settings BigE used for TDI in TMS. His method, his rules.

If your broker display weekend data like that get a other broker. The history for one will never be suitable for backtesting. How do you do chart analysing with a flat line?

TDI Red Green.ex4 it is the copy I use already.
The creator of TmsMonitor-v1.1.ex4 did not take micro accounts in consideration.Will need the mq4 file to fix the problem

looks better now
which broker are you using ? I am using dukascopy.

for a clearer chart you can use "line" or " bars" instead of candles, and you dont get those overlapping heikin ashi candles on your chart.

Thanks,

This chart is from Dukascopy and it is their jForex platform. I switched to line (instead of candles). Clean.

This is my EUR/USD now:

Now Plainview you can start to use TDI
Use BigE full.pdf or what Emm posted a few post back. Read every post of BigE (blue only) and study the chart's he posted. You must forget about any trading. Do demo trading only if you have to trade. Members will help you any time, but we can not do the study / homework for you.

Hello all! I opened EURUSD BUY @1.09872 10:04 AM (GMT + 3): {image} Why I took the trade: cross TDI 2nd blue candle TDI near 32 level, which means a reversal is coming up (it might as well continue down for 50,100 pips before reversal) Divergence on H4 Close to suport level around 1.09640 What I need to be careful is that we have strong downtrend daily and we are close under 1.1000 level. What do you guys think? Thank you in advance! EDIT: I had previously opened buy EURCAD and EURAUD as well, both are around 15~20 pips profit at the moment.

Update:
A new H4 candle closed, everything looks good, price is a bit over 1.1000 level and trade is ~20 pips profit:

well if you zoom out to the weekly chart it is on a range so far, the price is setting now on a weekly support we trande the range if you assume the pair will stay on that range or a trend if you assume the price will break the support well no one knows.

USD/CAD - 4 hour entry candle shown (now closed on my broker time) - stop at 1.3100. Green cross red (12-2 angle) and price sat on 200 EMA on 4 hour and on trendline on Daily chart. Holding for 4 hours and then moving to B/E and taking partial profit. {image}

Closed out for -35 points apx. Perhaps, the mistake was trading the 4 hour in conflict with the daily downtrend...

Did not placed any orders today on the following pair's AUDJPY | AUDUSD | EURGBP | EURJPY | EURUSD | GBPUSD | USDCAD | USDJPY as I did not see strong trend direction on the H1 timeframe. Crosses are at the wrong level or angles are wrong or candles color and size + shadow is wrong. BigE advice is if you do not feel happy about a chart lay out walk away and try later again. So for me it is trading again tomorrow London open.

Note the last 20 candles (PA) are pretty flat with some movement.
You took the trade close to the TDI 32 line which is about the bottom. However I've seen trades
taken short on the 32 line go 100 pips profit... Just be aware how close you are to the 68 & 32 line
and pay close attention.
The TDI and Stochs are giving opposite signals...
Also pay attention to the left on the TDI for tops and bottoms... there pretty accurate for
reversals...
It may be ok but I would have passed looking for another chart set up... I only pick the best chart
set ups to trade... there are plenty and no itchy finger here to jump in... just pick the most solid
looking set ups... it'll make you lots of pips.

Trading time for me is any time there is a cross on the H1 time frame. If I am late by two bars I do not trade. If the H1 placed order is strong I will start a trailer stop after break even and forget about it. Friday with the XM competition I did exactly what I were not suppose to do. I broke TMS rules because I came emotionally involved and pancid. The market is an harsh master and is unforgiven when you make mistakes.

See chart. look at circles for points like: H1 Stoch above 80 going down, TDI below 32 going up, H4 Yellow point down, first bar short, color not same as D1. D1 stoch going up TDI going down
