{quote} Hi Emmanuel, Can you pls explain a bit further about "The problem I see is that people only look for TDI cross, angle, bounce for trades.

And for CONTINUATION trades with proper entry and exits, can...

Hi krugans, you can avoid this by always waiting for the candle close before take a signal

Did not whait for green to cross red - must see green on the otherside of red
Did not look at stoch - Stoch is going down - order placed against the trend

a common mistake by traders.

Important rule:
Do Not trade when the price is in consolidation.
You can see the big candle and many small candles, both the TDI and Stoch are not reliable as trade signals.
Learn to read the price action of the price bars and the APB/HA candles. Price action trading is leading edge.

same example,

Do Not trade when price in consolidation.
we do not know if the trend will continue or it will reverse, ..

1st .. we learn to look at the price action to identify the consolidation
2nd we learn to wait for the best setups i.e when price show sign of momentum

this is a good trade example,

there is Weekly reversal seen in the PA,
there Daily is continuation for several days

both the short term and long term trend are UP.

H4 show recent CONSOLIDATION and you took the breakout of that recent consolidation area.

this is one good way to trade,

what time is your Day Open? Sydney open or Tokyo open?

there were several trades in those 8 pairs since Monday open following the Weekly candle.

note: you dont have to trade the H4 candle, you can just trade using the H1 candle but have a look to the Day and Weekly.

remember, trading is all about entry and exits or some prefer entries and exits.

EU Daily .. trade closed +125 .. thought about to keep a small portion .. but kicked all out and left the table ;-)
Reason : touch of the volatility bands ..

Stay tuned

krugans, Seeing that you are a new member, more detail then an blunt two sentence post.

Download BigE full.pdf (paperclip top right of webpage)
Start with post #1 and study post by post of BigE. The whole method of trading Trading Made Simple the right way is as given by BigE and not the distorted way you read now in post's.
Look for key words and sentence. (underlined a few)
The extracts are from BigE full.pdf that will show you why those two trades have failed. Those are only some point's BigE has mentioned:

Both trades were taking against the prevailing trend.

BigE post
#2 - Note on the TDI showing your entry set ups.
#52 - Which direction to trade the TDI... Is it going up (long) or coming down (short)... that's the direction to trade.
#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).
#115 - A bounce trade is when green gets close to red but bounces away and the original trade continues are good entries generally
#115 - I always look to the left for a possible res/sup level being near. If it's close I pass on the trade and go find another...
#119 - On this method the TDI is King. All trades are signalled by it as well as exits...
#121 - 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...
#261 - The TDI is the heart of our method. It tells you when to enter and where to exit any trades... so review previous posts and learn it good.
HA Candles are important because it makes your trading way less stressful... use them.
Stochs is nothing but confirmation. If Stochs & the TDI give different signals... lights flash off and on warning me to take a closer look before entering.. and usually I look for another trade.
5 ema... shows direction currently... only wanting to enter on candle 1 or two. If there is a reversal do I have a TDI signal to enter... if not and all looks strong then enter on candle 2... use some discretion... practice on Demo... take some chances and see if your head computer was right... it's free.
HA Candles... What are their size? If they are small I will usually go find another set up... Look for consolidation... look for how close PA is to sup/res levels...
use your brain!
#270 - When I check my charts... I look to the TDI... then PA.
The three of the most important post's, post #6, #275, #647 is the heart of the system when you fully understand those post your trading will improve.
Use only the indicators mentioned by BigE

Keep it simple - trade the chart the way BigE has laid it out
