Thank you Cygreen46. Your reply encourages me. I am happy to know that, indeed, my intentions are understood for I realy mean well.
I also would like to thank Luvene for the email he sent me, basicly saying the same as you did. I am happy to be amongst you.

When I first discovered this thread I was moved by it's serenity and the positive vibes in here. I was moved by the way Eelfranz wrote and expressed his feelings in what he wanted to do and what he did not want to happen.

The system itself prooved itself very soon in my trading and I was, as I am a very happy member of this thread.
I felt very sorry when I came along a message in which was told Eelfrans (Eric) was no longer amongst us.

Because of this thread, the system and the integrity of the originator I felt gratefull and it is because of that that I wanted to contribute and still want to do so.

What happened today is something which should not have happened in the first place.

Therefore, if anyone would feel not comfortable with anything I write and/or feels offended by it, know two things:

1) There may be a language issue (I love English but it is not my mothers toungh)
2) Anyone is more than welcome to write me in private if there is an issue or ask for clarification in the forum.

Now to end optimisticly: We have a very great community over here with a lot of helpfull people and an amazing system. Let's continue to keep this thread strong and alive for we can only benefit from it and eachother.

Best wishes,

Jan

Those Employment and Trade numbers from Canada today ... pretty big stuff. Been watching GBPCAD and there are some pretty steep trends around. It's Friday afternoon so not going to get involved now but this pair is definitely on the watch-list for next week. Look at the H4, D1 and W1 ... the October 2016 lows (1.5950 - 1.6000 area) look inviting.

Jan,

Please pay no mind to the post by that other member. It is obvious to any adult that you are here to learn, contribute, and most importantly, trade.

Unfortunately, not everyone on FF has these intentions. I don't know what saranga real intentions are, but i do know two things: 1) he has shown "commercial" tendencies by trying to lure FF member to private groups and facebook, 2) he is being watched very closely. Time will tell and all those serious FF members will still be around long after he/she is gone.

All the best,

recommended pairs to swing trade for 2017, based on testing and crunching off the numbers.. {image}
Ok some asked for more info.. How they picked those pairs etc..

They selected pairs based on movement, follow through and price action setup success, they have their swing strategy tested and found these pairs did best.

The list did not really surprise me, most of those pairs have good weekly range and movement. so with any trading, you need movement other wise you won't make money...

Some may think, it's too volatile, hmm, USDMEX (PESO) might be too volatile but the pairs they shared were not. there is a balance between Uber volatility and low volatility...

Anyway test for yourself and see how you do!
It's in fear when people show what they truly value.

Every now and then I see people asking questions about the simplicity of a trading system ( like TMS) People tend to believe that to be succesful one must be able to analyse complex charts, patterns, use the most sofisiticated indicators and so on ending up with asking if a system like TMS could be profitable. I have prepared a little example which will show you how effective TMS actualy is. Now, I am going to post two charts here, telling the SAME story. The first chart is a non TMS chart.

Do you wait for the corresponding signal candle to close to make the cross or enter as soon as the cross is made?

Hi Roni,

If I am right, BigE did not wait for the close of the signal candle. Ones a clear signal came from TDI and the color of there was this signal candle he would have entered this trade. As this is how I understood it this is also my approach. The reason for entering is related to momentum. BigE expected three to eight candles after the signal mostly closing his position at or after the third candle. So he wanted to be in as early as possible.

Till now this approach has worked very well for me too. However, just to be sure I will dive into the PDF's this weekend again to read it again

Hope this helps?

Good afternoon to everyone,

I have not been on the thread for awhile and echo that of Nik-Nyc and others. I don't know Jan but from a few recent comments can see that he is only interested in staying true to Big E and his teaching. Big E was all about encouraging people, keeping it simple and helping others to become the best traders they can be. No sense in slamming anyone. We are all adults here and there are enough pips to go around.

Quick question: can anyone give suggestions about cavemanager? I have tried a few times to load it according to the directions on the pdf in the paperclip. No go. Is the 1.41 version still free? Thank you so much in advance.

Hi Jan,

Thank you so much for your quick response!

I feel i have been trading wrong this whole time, I normally wait for the candle to close and enter on the open of the next candle.

If the tdi crosses but doesnt close, can it not be that it 'uncrosses' itself or turns to the opposite direction without candle close?

Also I use four hour candles, so when the cross is close to happening will i not have to sit infront of my computer for the whole four hours to see when to enter. With a new candle open i can just enter easily...

Please see my chart below and entry point.. what are your thoughts?

BigE:
#2
1st Trading Chart... Note on the TDI showing your entry set ups... green crossing red enter on that new PA candle...
Note: go to post and study posted chart
#6
Entries and exits...
We Enter a trade when green crosses red on the TDI at the beginning of that candle.
#54
A set up is NOT GREEN TOUCHING RED. Why? Many times green bounces back and the original direction continues. That's a bounce trade. Wait for green to CROSS RED and open your trade at the beginning of the new candle... usually candle 1 or 2.
#115
A Normal entry is when green crosses red on the TDI (and you can actually see the green on the other side).
#142
The question was concerning why not enter on candle # 3. In this example the TDI indicates taking the trade on candle # 1. Had you entered on candle # 3 you would have been two candles late for the CORRECT ENTRY. Because a reversal normal runs 3-8 candles we were fortunate it has run so many candles...
The idea about entering on candle 1 or 2 if you get the TDI signal is if it only goes 3 candles you should get on average at least some profit... especially on higher time frames.
#307
Always entering when green crosses red and only on candle 1 or two depending what the TDI shows... otherwise I pass and look for another set up...


First bar from the right side of the chart is Bar 0 (NULL) and is open and is moving with the price
Second bar is Bar 1 (ONE) and closed
Third bar is Bar 2 (TWO) and closed

Did BigE counted the active bar as NULL or ONE?
If counted as NULL then enter on the active bar.
If counted as ONE then you wait for bar to close and entry on the new bar after the cross.

Still heaving problems to understand what did BigE mean by candle one?
Answer:
#767
I enter on the candle I get the TDI signal on... not the next one. When the next candle started pulling back I would have exited... with a profit I might add...
#979
I can't believe there is still confusion here on What is candle 1 or two...
If there was a reversal and it went 6 candles lets say... The first 2 candles are #1 & #2. If I don't get a signal to enter from the TDI on (candle 1 or 2... green crossing red).. I pass on the trade and find another. This is the rule. The only exception is if the green line bounces away from the red line I'd jump in because it's a bounce trade...
Never enter when green is just touching red... why?... because it might bounce back instead of crossing the TDI Red... wait for the signal... as soon as you see the cross... enter right then... it's happens at the start of a new candle... Don't wait to enter on candle 3 or.... later.


Roni26 it is good to ask questions. It is far better to find the answers yourself, when really stuck by all means ask then. Use the paperclip to right of webpage. There are a few pdf's that are already complied with all of BigE's post.

Hi Roni,

Like you, I trade the 4H charts. In an ideal world I would take bullish trades on a green/red crossover where the lines are above the 50 level but not at the 68 level.
if then there would be a siginificant crossover meaning that the green line is clearly visbable above the red one and if the current HA candle is Bullish I would enter that trade not waiting for that candle to close.

Same goes for bearish trades. Cross should happen below the 50 level but not at the 32 level yet, HA candle should have bearish color.

If the lines are above the 68 level I would look for sell orders if everything would confirm a reversal. Same goes the other way around for buy orders where these lines should be below the 32 level.

I have tested this method using a stand alone software and found out that crosses near or on the 50 level itself are not the safest ones to take.

Now as for your charts. I must familiarize myself a little with them for it seems to me that as well the traditional candle sticks as Heiken Ashi are layerd visualy upon eachother. On my charts I have switched to line mode meaning that only the HA candles are clearly readable (more easy for me)

However, on the first chart I would like to ask why you have set your opening at that particular candle where the green line crosses the YELLOW line. The normal setup would have been about two candles before that where green crossed red. Maybe I am mis-reading something but does this make sense?
Now the green line crossing the yellow one is also a good sign as described by the original inventor of the TDI indicator. BigE however had his own approach and use for TDI as you know.

The second chart and it's setup looks fine to me. I would consider that to be a very good setup Everything is nicely pointing up and again green did not only cross red but also yellow which makes the bullish sentiment even bigger.

Since you are using the Bue lines also (which BigE did not) note that they are starting to be more narrow. The channel starts to be tighter triggering loosing momentum.

I hope this helps.

To all: please correct me if I am wrong in my statements...

I have a similar problem in understanding the advice regarding entries. I found this quotation from BigE on its pdf:
[IMG]file:///page54image2824[/IMG]
[COLOR=rgb(0.000000%, 0.000000%, 100.000000%)]Rules are green crosses red on TDI... when that happens only enter if it's on candle #1 or 2. After [/color]

And also:
[COLOR=rgb(100.000000%, 0.000000%, 0.000000%)]We Enter a trade when green crosses red on the TDI at the beginning of that candle... If [/color]
[IMG]file:///page3image3120[/IMG]
[COLOR=rgb(100.000000%, 0.000000%, 0.000000%)]it's candle 3 or more don't enter... [/color][COLOR=rgb(0.000000%, 0.000000%, 100.000000%)]find another trade set up. [/color][COLOR=rgb(100.000000%, 0.000000%, 0.000000%)]The only exception is if green [/color]
[COLOR=rgb(100.000000%, 0.000000%, 0.000000%)]bounces off red and continues... it's ok to re-enter on the bounce... [/color]

This to me means that, as soon as it happens that "green crosses red", at the opening of a candle, then you must enter the trade.
But what you need to do if the crossing happens after 1/2, 3/4, 2 or 3 hours of a 4h candle?
Is it so frequent that the crossing does happen at the beginning of a new candle?

Not only: sometimes can happen that there is a crossing in the first candle and the beginning of the second candle shows a flat pattern (=exit signal), while then the green line acquires again a positive angle (12 am; 2 al etc). In this case you need to exit and then enter again?
So, everytime you see an exit signal, in any moment of the candle, must you exit?
