Hey TraderJak What's the name of the TDI indi your using? I'm using the "red green TDI" and I've never seen a cross extend that far before repainting as a bounce. There's a few people talking about it happening but I never seen one posted.

The second trade entry is the second vertical line. It's definitely a red candle. Are you maybe looking at the 1st trade close arrow?

Nice work on the E/U as usual Phx. Seems like you're starting to lean more toward the m15 than the H1. Can't blame you with your recent wins. What is it about this retracement that didn't fit your rules? Looking at it the TDI cross was there below ...

I usually put my stops at the previous swing high/low, not the previous candle close. If you follow the correct MM for your stops and correct trade entries then it shouldn't be an issue. Whether it's10, 100 or 1000 pips SL you will only lose your ...

20 pips and one around 12 I think it was. I'm still new at this so I get worried and tend to set my trailing stops too close. I think I'm going to pull the pin on trailing stops altogether and stick to my initial stops and break even stops.

Thank BoS. The indi is just a session indicator with the other session colours turned off so it only shows London. The pip count isnt really needed. I think thats left over from another system. If you click the little paperclip at the top right of ...

Well good start to the week (by my standards) with 90 pips on the m15 charts in just over an hour. Going to have to tune my exit strategy though as I would be over 300 pips up if they were still running now. Once again I set trailing stops as I left ...

Hi Nacho. It does look promising but I wouldn't personally describe that as a cross yet. I've seen those end up as bounce trades. Simliar to the one around 20 candles back on your same chart.

Hi Raa, What is your exit strategy? I only ask as you seem to run lower TP than the majority of people here. It's awesome turning that amount of pips in such a short period. I would have thought on the 4H though you'd clear even more by staying in ...

Doji Question — Do you guys count dojis when you're counting entry candles. Say you have a long trend that's looking like reversing. You've got 2 blue dojis followed by 2 red. On the third red the trend reverses and heads south. Would you ...

Hi Dean Michael With regard to that G/U trade that is one of the large candle 4H signals I mentioned in a post last night. The problem is there was no clear TDI cross on the reversal candle, just a touch, so no signal. By the time the second candle ...

Question for the experienced guys. I was expecting to get signals on the next GoMarkets 4H candle in 30 mins. The signals are there alright but they are all massive candles. I haven't checked the news but they've got to be news candles. What does ...

Not a good start to the week with regard to sticking to the rules. Picked up 40 pips on USDCAD and EURJPY 4H after setting a 5 pip trailing stop before leaving work as I couldn't keep an eye on them. So far I've given up 120 more pips.

I'm yet to see a TDI that repaints after candle close. When Big E talks a cross he's not talking a fraction of an inch/ couple pixel cross of the red green. Sometimes at an intersection of the red green it does look like a minute cross but I think ...

hmmm, I'm jealous. I've just come off another 60 hour week (They're killing me). Hopefully I can put the extra time in after work so that I can become a "full" time trader and give the construction away. Congrats on the pips.

Haha tried and failed. No luck with that forecast. I failed to take note that it was against the major trend. Practice makes perfect....I hope.

True. I've not been using stoch in my plan at the moment which would make that a decent buy signal for me. Just as a bit of practice on my forecasting I think that the TDI grn and possibly TDI red will pass below 50, return back and possibly bounce ...
