Emm - Thank you for validating my premise. My own conclusion concurs: trade relative to the chart data that you are working with. That said, a slight preference to allowing the noise of the LO subside, therefore a new H4 candle at the start of the 2nd or 3rd hour after LO might yield less whip sawed entries.

Hi Kopan,

here is the latest example using two different brokers server time and H4 setup for entry.

there is always a reason to enter the market - price action and mechanical.

{quote} Hi Nivian, 1. how long period to back-test? that depends on your objectives in doing back-testing and what results you want to analyse. most traders look at the profitability of the strategy. but there are also other data we need from the back-testing to help us make decisions in this business. do know that back-testing takes a lot of run-time in your PC. If you back-test on D1 charts trading, and run 5 years of historical data, the back-tests may take several days to complete. 2. what do you want to see? if you want to see entries and exits,...
Hi emmanuel
Thank you very much, just wanted an idea of how long the test would run, thank for clarifying that.

I wanted to see what kind of results came out, im new to this and trying to learn everyday. I have downloaded a file called TDI with alerts.mq4 and wanted to see what it actually does, im still learning to read charts, candles and do analysis so in conjunction with that using some indicators with signals etc helps understand why it is done. I have seen and read in this forum that even though signals indicators may show something its not 100% correct so trying to back as this forum has emphasized to look at what really the indicators do and whether it works.

I would appreciate if some of the senior traders using TDI posts current charts with their thoughts so newbies like myself can understand how some of the tools are actually implemented. Like I have seen a semaphore indicator but after reading for like 2 hours yesterday still don't have a clear understanding, what do the numbers 1,2,3 actually represent?

I have a long way to go and I would like to thank everyone here for sharing their knowledge and experience.

Hi Guys, Thanks for all the responses and assistance. Wow, this is highly appreciated. Could you please explain to me the different indicators ie what they mean. Is MT4 the only platform that this strategy can run on? I am currently using FXCM to demo. Also in Eric's earlier post, I think I read that he advised the 4 hr and 1 hour charts. I am based in the UK, how can this apply to the London trading hours. Is there a simple explanation in plain English on the strategy and how it is to be applied?

To explain all the indicators not going to happen for it has been ask and answered over and over. This strategy can be used on any platform and time frame. Recommend time are H1, H4 Trade the hours you like.

Did you read BigE's post's or any pdf (BigE full.pdf)
In plain English from BigE's post::
The key to this method is the Traders Dynamic Index indicator for entries and exits.
Stochastics (8,3,3) indicator. It is ONLY used to confirm direction. Nothing else.
Use Heiken Ashi candles... that's important.
TDI showing your entry set ups... green crossing red enter on that new PA candle
Entries:
Enter a trade when green crosses red on the TDI at the beginning of that candle
If it's candle 3 or more don't enter... find another trade set up.
The only exception is if green bounces off red and continues... it's ok to re-enter on the bounce...
Your safest trades will always be when green crosses red and you enter on candle 1 or 2... odds are in your favor.
Why?
Because I'm expecting 3-8 candles... which is average...
With bounce trades the odds are lower for your success... but it still works.
When wanting to enter a TDI trade... take a moment first to observe basic 4x things... like:
How close am I to the previous high or lo
Am I in an uptrend or downtrend.. short & long term...
Am I in or close to a consolidation area
Are the previous candles small...
Look at the candles on the last reversal... big, little, what

https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...74#post9200974
Does Stoch's confirm the TDI signal
The main entry rule is:
Green crossing red on the TDI within the first 2 candles for an entry...
I don't care what the red TDI line is doing.
Did Stoch's confirm the TDI signal between the 20-80 lines...?
The 12-2 and 4-6 is for the TDI and not the 5ema... that would just be a bonus...
If you meet the TDI entry rule it doesn't much matter where the 5 ema is in relation to the 1st two candles...
All this extra crap does nothing but confuse other traders and their success rate drops and they can't figure out why...
Everyone - Please stop adding anything... stick to the SIMPLE BASIC RULES.
That's what makes it work !

Exit:
When the green TDI line goes flat, starts to hook over or makes a check mark reversal
Exits...
Looking at your TDI... if you see:
1. TDI go flat
2. TDI start to hook over
3. TDI do a check mark reversal

Which direction to trade the TDI... Is it going up (long) or coming down (short)... that's the direction to trade.
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.
A Normal entry is when green crosses red on the TDI (and you can actually see the green on the other side).
A bounce trade is when green gets close to red but bounces away and the original trade continues are good entries generally
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...

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.
If you add other things it will influence your decisions... usually to your detriment. Don't try to complicate it thinking it can't be this easy. Important to study TDI entries on old charts, any time frame... Give yourself a chance and trade it like it's laid out

Not prepared do homework or study, member's will stop responding to your post's.

Yes - it was disconcerting when my chart was not matching up with others that I was seeing, hence I needed to understand if it made a difference or not.
Same study/comparison can be made with the D1 candle start time as those candles will look different throughout the week as well based on Broker time.
