{quote} we have already three mechanical pre-conditions. do we need more? I don't think so. what we need is a money management strategy to make money using those three mechanical conditions based on what we have - the HA candles, the PAC and the TDI.
{quote} First of all we are talking actually your PAC stuff and "rules" so please don`t use BIG E for your methods. What was the reason for entering? If you only look at HA candles you could take every single candle which closes above the pac. The TDI was flat at the entrytime the HA candle was small too. When you pac trading and looking only at HA candles youe entries sometimes real late.
{quote} Hi emmanuel, Thanks, I have been reading your posts for years now and learned a lot from you. Can you please explain your entry trigger? After the D1 setup bar, do you wait for H4 or H1 (PA goes outside of PAC and confirms by TDI) for entry trigger? How about the timing? For example, there was H4 WRB at LO in the last buy setup on the chart you posted, if waited for H4 bar to completed and confirmed by TDI, it was a bit too late, but the H1 trigger was very good Can please explain? Thanks! Ken
{quote} Hi, rj! I have an idea.Why pointless wasting of time and energy here, when it's clear, that this thread is irreparably spoiled and lost far away of it's initial purpose, and nobody can't do anything about it. Why won't you open a new thread with the subject of the original TMS system, the way eelfranz wanted it to be and with full respect to him and his rules, but like in a new form, with all the rules in one place, FAQ, all latest versions of indicators, templates etc. I'm telling...
{quote} @Malony, You are not ready! {image} Big E' post on the TDI exit being conservative (spelled as conserative) Post#7612. <quote> Hey Folks, WHEN TO EXIT ----------------- OK there appears to be some confusion here... According to the rules you exit when the TDI GREEN LINE goes flat, check mark reversal or hooks over.... this is for the conserative trader and works great. However.... note the blue box on the TDI below. See how the green line archs like a worm crawling...
{image} {quote} Ready for what? Trading your backtests to loose my money due the lack of rules? No. You are right. I asksed YOU a SIMPLE (thats what the thread is about) question, why you have entered on that trade the way you have painted it on?Staying to the rules the trade was a loss and not a win. Like painted in you hindsight chart. Nothing more. Theres no need to link to Big Es post for EXIT trying to make me and others clouded. Again, why you entered excat on this candle? The TDI was flat, tha HA candle small? Thank you.

However.... note the blue box on the TDI below. See how the green line archs like a worm crawling up the red line without crossing red. You could have stayed in the whole trade without exiting until green crossed red finally. {image}
