Hi Emmanuel, Interesting exercise, and a good excuse to re-read some of Big Es posts. I will share my observations: -Originally, BigE had very simple exit rules: Time based (end of his h4 trading session) or TDI based (Green goes flat, check mark ...

This also seems correct . . . i can think of examples where after a strong popgun setup, which can create a WRB, i did not exit after the opposite cross. This also makes sense because it's all on one timeframe. In fact, WRB trading is alway ...

I am also thinking that perhaps a weekend or day price gap might also create a cross that should not be used as exit . . . am not in front of mt4 but perhaps other trader can check their charts to see if this might be the correct answer. best, N

Yes, agreed . . .

Fair enough . . . but i might keep swinging my axe at this tonight as tomorrow i will be away at my computer. Okay, how about when there is an exit cross but the APB has not closed above the 5EMA-shift3, in this case exit should be ignored. Pic ...

Thanks Emmanuel, many of your teaching and other member on FF helped earn the pips for the 4k display . One clarification regarding your question, is it related to ME/ME trading or single entry trading . . . i ask because my notes are ...

Very interesting question . . . I believe the only time we do not exit a trade when there is a cross in the opposite direction is when the TDI is in the extreme, under 32 or above 68. I have attached GU m30 chart to show an example of crosses that ...

Ruben, Regarding how to better read PA, i suggest you open Properties(f8) and under the "common" tab you select "chart on foreground". Also, switching from Japanese candles to bar chart keeps the chart less cluttered and the PA information is the ...

Hi foxtrader16, The main reason i prefer the synergy_pro_tdi is because it moves with live price action. The original TDI is prone to repainting when you refresh you chart time frame. Emmanuel has tested and compared both tdi's and shared his ...

Bill, Good, from the screenshot i thought it was the "older" tdi. The h4 candle has now closed, i think you can now judge the trade setup more accurately. Let me know if you want further input. Best N

Bill, I would personally recommend waiting for the current h4 candle to close, then we will know if it closes above the 5ema. Also, if it does close above the ema, at what level would the tdi cross occur? Is this a level that would interest us? In ...

Hi Bill, I never bookmarked the video because while there is an interesting novelty factor to it, personally i trade with the whole tdi, very much in a TMS/5-method way. That said, Dean does have some good quality video explaining various other ...

Dodger, i must respectfully disagree. Eelfranz made many references to HTF and trends in more than one thread here on FF. I suggest you take a look at all his posts again. One i will point out to you is post 647 from the original TMS thread, he ...

SJ, Yes, indeed, not being rigid seems to be the key, in trading and probably many other aspects of life too. I was just scratching the surface, but you are correct, even the TDI has evolved dramatically. This thread has great information on the ...

The discussion about the evolution of TMS and how additional indicators or identifiers can help or hinder newbies comes up every few months. I've never responded to this debate before, but figure i'd offer my two cents as i am also a newbie. To me, ...

Vpa, We can definitely Skype in a live market, though like yourself i am still a student, just with a few months head-start. However, i do believe it would be very beneficial to complete the babypips school. I assure you that you will get a lot more ...

VPA021, Those are pretty open ended questions, but let me offer some insight. "looking left" refers to looking back at previous candles and determining things like S/R which are products of market structure. Zooming out various clicks and checking ...
