Comparing broker with different server time GMT+0 and GMT+2 GMT+0 {image} GMT+2 {image} It will not make much difference which broker server time you chose to trade. Look at both charts above, GMT+0, you enter on APB#2 while it is active GMT+2, what is the different if you enter now?
That's even more revealing and I will take some time to look into this (although interestingly my results have been quite good with steady profits). My first thought is that I am using the MT4 platform at IG Index (a UK spreadbetter) and the prices and market opening hours are from their servers and not the actual cash markets (I think).

Maybe I should open an account at a broker, do you have a recommendation please?

Have been trying to figure out why your H4 bars appear 1 hour earlier on your 'GMT +0 server chart' versus my charts but can't find a solution ... a bit weird but I'm not too worried because as mentioned earlier the signals still give me good results.
Also, I do notice when looking at the period separator on your chart that yours starts "2 Jan 12:00" but the last period separator on my chart shows "2 Jan 08:00". Strange but true!

{quote} Traders Dynamic Index Realtime: Hi ALL, Use this TDI Realtime attached and you will not see the problem with repainting in real time. See the chart below comparing both TDI Red Green and TDI RT capture over a period of time without refreshing the chart. Good Trading this week, harvest the pips with multiple Rs and positive R:R. {file} {image}
Hello Emmanuel; I have been reading the above post and subsequently found and loaded the Indicator; however, I am not sure that I fully understand the benefit of using the RT indicator over the standard. Sorry if this seems a bit "slow" but if you could explain the difference and benefit I would be very grateful. Can you also confirm the must recent version of indicator.

Regards, awm.

{quote} @Ygr, When you take any H4 trade setup using APB#1, make sure the real price bar and APB do not have long wicks. This way you do not need to look at H1. Long wick is indication of price pulling back or losing momentum.
And, just asking so I can learn, if I were to look at H1 then a lack of momentum would be sideways movement or up and down?

Just a clarification regarding something I think I have not fully understood.
BigE suggested to enter at the beginning of a candle, when the green line has clearly crossed over the red either downwards or upwards, but, when a new candle unfolds, normally its trends is not quite clear and it could take a while before this happen. So, in a 4h chart, you could wait for one hour before any usefull pattern take shape. Only when the candle is finished the clear pattern is displayed.
Another downfall is that, looking at the historic charts, you have quite a clearer picture compared to when you are live, because in that case all the candles are completed. So watching at historic charts has only a partial validity and tell you only partially how yo choose to enter a trade.
Can anyone give me some advice?

I live in the Eastern Time Zone so this makes the Asian session very convenient to trade. Does anyone have experience trading the TMS method during this time and what are your thoughts?

Looking at GPBUSD D1 I see price rising from Support established 03.01.17 where first bullish Candle appears to form an Engulfing pattern followed by a long bullish Candle with shadow. TDI cross occurred 30.12.17 making an entry slightly late iaw BigE as this would be 4th Candle. However; to my [newbie] mind the pattern remains bullish as the TDI Trade Signal line looks as though it's about to breach the Yellow Market Base line. Drilling down to the H4 chart the situation looks Over Bought with small Candles which have short wicks, Stoch at 80+ and a hook formation forming on the TDI Trade Signal line; further down the H1 Candles are looking even more bearish, Stoch is falling and TDI has gone flat. Both the H4 and H1 tell me that there may be a short term reversal.

So... where is the GBPUSD going? I am inclined to wait for clarity - ideally I would like to see a pull back in the lower time frames followed by a break above the Decision zone on the H1 chart to take price towards the top of the D1 Channel [marked Resistance 2].

I would appreciate it if anyone would take look at my charts and tell me if I have over analysed this or missed something.

AN update to the above: whilst writing these notes it looks like a spinning top is forming on the D1 chart and there is flattening in the TDI - which gives rise to a potential reversal from Resistance 1...

all history charts are refreshed hence the TDI Red Green will show exactly what the TDI RT (realtime) shows.
in live market condition the TDI Red Green shows different from the refreshed charts.
the TDI RT will show exactly the same in live market and in refreshed charts.

use the TDI-RT version and always wait for the candle to close to confirm the price action and the TDI.

I'm just trying to understand why a long wick means lack of momentum? And also how that would look in an H1 chart? I would think a long wick is like a pinball? Maybe I misunderstood and you meant a long wick in the opposite direction? Sorry to bother if I am. Thanks so much.

here, see this chart below and you look at your H1 chart to see what that H4 candle looks like in 4 H1 candles.

it is very important that you forward test in live market and watch carefully how the TDI behaves and reacts to the price action - both the Price Bar and the APB/HA.
all this requires a lot of screen time and going by what Big E did, he had 6,000 trading hours yet he took 2 years to develop this 'system'.
Everyone who want to become profitable trading this 5-Method must have the commitment to forward test in live market, pay attention to details and be meticulous in what you do. Through your own experience and you will gain confidence but this takes time.

BigE, as far as I understand, suggested to keep the things very simple:
- clear signal of green TDI line crossing the red TDI line either downwards or upwards with an angle at 4-6 pm for selling and 12-2 am for buying
- check of "basic" trading conditions, that is 4 main things: actual trend (down/up/neutral, short/long term), presence of congestion, support/resistance levels, incoming red news.

The ability is in putting together and applying all this elements in a very quick way.

This as far as I have understood

What I really do not understand is BigE'advice of starting a trade at the opening of a new bar.
What does it mean "at the opening"? After a minute, a few seconds? If it is the case, is it correct to start a trade on the basis of the indication of a few minutes, on a bar which last, for example, 4h?

Please, remove all the indicators which are not relevant to the original concept of BigE. When you are adding more and more (crappy) indicators, it will be more and more difficult and this is input for starting to doubt. And with too many indicators and looking for confirmation in whatever (!) you'll find a reason not to step in. Does that make sense?
Keep it simple without too many crappy indicators!

I agree. The problem is that I trade mainly on iphone and the only application that I found with TDI is Trade Interceptor, which does not allow to modify it.
Can anyone give me the correct indication to create BigE's TDI manually?
On top of it, what about the problematic of starting a trade at the beginning of a new chart?
