Here is a document that details the E.A.S.Y. method that emmanuel7788 is talking about. Do not confuse it with the Synergy Method which uses a different PAC setting.

this one is rather naughty trading... be careful with higher Tf change in 'trend'.
there are times when we must bite the bullet, and do the 'SAR' - cut loss and reverse the trade if we must sometimes.

Yes. It is the older PAC from the Synergy trading model (2006/2007) which Big E used.

see this old post.
https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...74#post3303074

then there is another Synegry Pro (2010/2011) which snarlyjack posted here:

https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...90#post8002690

that Synergy Pro PAC is different using a calibrated 9EMA.

there is yet another version Advanced Synergy 2.0 (2008/2009) which used the same PAC 5SMMA high-Low channel but uses a Fast-TDI.

that a brief Synergy history since 2006.

lets wait and see what the next Synergy version name will be... maybe $ynergy

{quote} which is the right tdi indicator?

there is no right or wrong TDI.
you have to know the TDI versions and what it shows on your charts both in realtime and in history.
you must back test and forward test every TDI version you have and decide which version you want to use.
you write your own trading rules with the TDI version you have decided to use.

or you can keep it simple and use the Fozzy-RSI instead of the TDI.
Fozzy-RSI work in all trading platforms and you do not have to worry about repainting.

{quote} ReverseFlash why are you negative? Are you just vindictive because you can not trade the same way that BigE has laid it out. By the way Flash you have only posted 22 post's. None of those post's have any information on how you use TMS or TDI. Yet you are very fast to criticize member's. So way don't you do some trading with TDI first and post those chart's. Make it more then one trade. Surely a trader with your knowledge of Trading Made Simple it would be a breeze in the park.
Hello again fellow trader Tekkies

You got everything wrong about me.
I never claimed to be a TMS expert, that's only in your imagination.

I have only read the Big E full pdf and the last pages of this thread.
SO here's what'll do:

I'll open a demo account with 50 000 usd, using 1 standard lot per trade, taking setups only when green crosses red on the TDI, trying to emulate as similar as possible Big E style on the 4H chart.

I won't use any EA nor TS like you do.

Unfortunately there are certain things, I cannot emulate like eelfranz's trading hours.

I can only look at the 4H chart one time per day at 04:00 GMT, so necessarily I'll have to add more pairs.

I'll trade 14 pairs:
EU,GU,AU,NU,
EJ,UJ,AJ,NJ.
EC,UC,AC.
EN,EA,EG

My SL will be last candle High/Low
My TP 1:2 RR.

I cannot wake up in the early morning to BE/close trades, so I'll just let them float until they hit SL/TP.
But I'll close all my trades no matter what, around 14:00 GMT or before.

I have just linked a demo account into FF TE so in the future everyone can see my trades but it's empty right now.

I'll start "trading" next week.

I know some people may say this is ridiculous since it's only a demo account but as I said in previous posts I only have one year of trading experience and barely a month reading about this method so I won't risk a live account until I prove myself I'll be able to trade succesfully this method as laid out in the first post during the next 6 months in this demo account
(if I don't blow it up before, trading this way).

Besides I'm still not rich to open a micro account with XM like you lol

In demo there's no fear of losing real money involved so the odds are in my favour but if by the 6th month, I'm still not successful, that'll mean TMS first post is a big piece of BS for me so then I'll try to learn ME/ME thing.

Will try to share my charts here so we can discuss what I do right/wrong as you claim you're only one trading exactly like eelfranz.

Good luck with your trades.

{quote} BS! And what is your original username?
Hi, why BS?

What I meant is that I read most people here struggled trying to trade exactly the way eelfranz described in the first post, they lost time and money trading that way, so some of them decided to adapt and improve the rules to their own needs then they made TMS more conservative, advanced and specially more profitable and I agree they evolved it to a new higher level method and I'm patiently waiting for the new thread.

On the other hand, here it goes my question again:

Have you been profitable for at least one year forward-testing this strategy trading exactly as it was described in the first post (no EAs, no TS, no additional filters) no matter if on a demo?

I will eventually forward-test this for myself, but I'd like to know if there are other people who have been successful with the first post rules, only Big E wrote he did it for 2 years but the rest of y'all are just a lot of TMS Jihadists with no proof of success but only a big mouth claiming: "wanting to help newbies making them follow 1st post rules" but how will you do it if actually none of you is still successful trading exactly that way ? LOL

Well, well, seems you went to cry upon FF ADmin like a little baby but I don't think he has time to read your brainless conspiracy theories.

I ask you the same:

Or you're just another talking head who started trading FX since 1995 LOL telling that price could go up or do without any proof only posting hindsight trades then saying 'I told you it would go that way' when price goes in one way or another.

Sorry for stealing your post but it fit you so well.

Good luck.

Hi guys,

I'm currently doing back test and forward test for this system on the H1 and H4 time frame. Based on the backtest, accuracy should be right around 70% - 80% as Big E mentioned. I make decision back testing on the right edge of the screen and don't peak at what happened so that I could simulate a live scenario. I base my computation on the open and the close of the candles and it seems to be very promising. But forward teesting has been a different story. Same idea, make decisions on the open of the candle. It seems that at the open, the TDI would give me a signal and on the next candle would tell me to exit, then right before the candle with the exit signal closes, the exit signal is gone. TDI was repainting. Has any body experienced this? And do you make decisions at the open of the candle or right before a candle closes?

Well - since you brought it up.... I found the exact same issue with the TDI indicator as with the Synergy HA / APB Candles.

In very simple terms the code has a inherent flaw which causes it to error out somewhat randomly. My non-scientific limited data set testing shows that I get an error about 5% of the time. I puzzled why no one has ever caught this before and assumed it was my code. But quickly realized that it was indeed the indicator that I was retrieving a value from via the iCustom() function. Visually this error would be extremely hard to catch as you would never notice anything amiss unless you sat there with your calculator computing the std deviation of the RSI every tick. When it errors, it returns an old/random value. A new tick comes in and the error disappears. Hence no one noticed. (those arrows that you reference however did notice...)

For anyone who wants to help validate my hypothesis simply compile the code with the < #property strict > line added.
You will immediately get some warnings and 1 error that you will have to fix manually. Get past that and then the code will compile but you will get a runtime error "array out of range" See below:

When it errors you receive a junk value back from the iCustom() function call. This is how I caught the discrepancy.

Unfortunately unlike the HA_APB_Candles fix, this one is not as simple to correct. I really want to use the original Big E TDI functionality, so I am working on creating an equivalent indicator that avoids the Array flaws and provides 100% accuracy.

Hi Guys,

I took this trade following the rules of Big E. Took the sell on the close of the candle with a star. As of now, I'm loosing pips. Still practicing this method on demo though.

- TDI had a clear cross
- Stoch was going the same direction as the TDI
- Price crossed below the 5 SMA line

Many of my trades turns out like this. I think it is because it is still in consolidation. But how do I know if it is out of consolidation?
