saw several questions about the 12 to 2 o'clock/4 to 6 o'clock angle and using a clock face etc. It reminded me that MT4 has "trendline by angle" in the INSERT > LINE > menu, that will draw on the TDI indicator window. just draw it to somewhere near ...

only one trade this week and closed it on Monday near flat when it didn't move and had small body. when I checked the charts at a friend's house on Friday I was surprised to see EU still up after moderately strong US employment report. It probably ...

for me, it is any timeframe. it is the basic rules. But "trade into empty space" is just like US football or rest of the universe football...... pass the ball into open space. It usually means you are on board for awhile with the central banks. ...

EU technicals had momentum building several positive divergences over the past month on a day chart and since April on week chart. I could not figure out why except for short term pop up from oversold. for my TA, divergence usually has 3 lows or ...

So, I don't think fitting the many nuances of this TDI system can be fit into a strictly "set it and forget it" mechanical system ... curve fitting is the risk there. How I trade is different even though I use the same basic system that eelfranz ...

I don't trade it but saw similar thing on GU I call those whipsaw bars, 'bronco bars' because it feels like you just got bucked. They happen all the time and are annoying. I use the aroon to say get out or stay in. Only look for a cross on aroon. ...

Trading Made Simple

Agree and have added only the Aroon for another confirming crossover for confirmation. Aroon (8) is only there for the crossover. TDI + 5ema with 3 offset + aroon behind the TDI. Every great trader I have known says that the most important thing ...

update to url USD got oversold much faster than I thought it would for the set up. Most of it benefited cable. but the USD has broken through the triangle which is enough for good move back to the safety of inside the triangle if that is the line ...

Trading Made Simple

Ah MOE! I knew I had the advantage with only one good eye. :nerd: Seriously though, if I have to squint to see the crossover then it isn't time to enter or exit yet. I don't know how many times 'the squint' rule saved my butt by being patient and ...

here are the EU and USD side by side. The similarity is not rare but does often occur when the world watches for Fed signals on monetary policy. circled the 'near 68' and 'near 32' on TDI (2), also, not always this in synch. That is the simple macro ...

very nice. simple money taking with patience waiting for clear signal. well done and just like eelfranz designed

for daily and H4 on EU and USD cash - see two diagonal triangles as structure saying a breakout coming. maybe by London open on Wednesday. UJ is close to finish of irreg. flat correction, if it is then USdJPY may break higher earlier. these ...

thank you for the explain maybe the delay is what I needed when I was really a junior trader 30 years ago ''your trade is delayed by the trading moderator because you are probably going to be wrong again!'' Laughing on Floor I knew everything ...

Trading Made Simple

long 2 EU on H1 cross and confirm at 1.0953, SL 1.0945 waiting for H4 to maybe add 1st target 1.0986, hold for 20 min and re-evaluate

what is a junior trader? and when does it end? looked in the lengthy rules etc didn't find anything. probably need to look somewhere else. possible new EU H1 set up coming; smaller timeframes moving early on the momo divergence waiting for H1 to ...

Trading Made Simple

agree. 1105 for bounce and probably a big one too. Eventually, sub-300 for end to the gold bear. thanks to you for all the stuff you compiled on TMS and made available to people here. Perhaps as time allows, I can contribute as well since I have ...
