That pair is as flat as a pancake in my opinion though.

I think BigE would want us to continue with the thread in his absence, but I wouldn't bother him with questions or PMs until he's feelin better.

I think when the 1st candle formed it hadn't crossed, but right at the end of the 1st candle it crossed. So entering in on candle 2 was within the rules. Some trades don't workout but the TDI exit rules saved our backsides.

I took that one too, got out when TDI turned flat on the next candle with a couple of pips profit. Nothing wrong really, just a flat market.

I'm fairly new to skype, only used it once a long time ago to make a voice call. Is this skype room voice chat or text chat more like MSN messenger.

bigE - sorry to hear that, hope your feeling better by the time you read this. You deserve some good luck. I'd echo the sentiment to get there sooner rather the later.

Its hard to tell from your charts, I think they would have been a mixture of small wins, break evens and maybe a small loss. You get periods of the market like this when there's indecision and some profit taking. The point is that we're probably ...

I can't quite tell on your chart but was stoch in agreement with the direction of the TDI on the second bounce trade? If it wasn't then no trade (for me). If it was a valid setup, then we accept the occasional loss/BE trade.

Yep I know its not perfect, I don't use it for formal backtesting for those reasons. I just use it to skip back and forth through my charts to look at good setups at roughly the beginning of the setup candle. I like to view what these moves looked ...

That's why I prefer testing using the trade simulator, you should see the setup candles as they really appeared when they first formed.

One tip that I have found helpful from the synergy videos on reading the HA candles is look for "air" between the setup candle and the EMA. Its not a must have but if you see it, its a nice bonus. Just look back on your charts for TDI crosses that ...

Definately best to double/triple check everything (theres not much to check really so its worth doing it right). TDI/Stoch basics, strength of the setup candle and the forex basics: S/R, trend, news. A rushed trade is usually a loosing trade for me.

Pros: TDI angle ok Stoch agreement Strong setup candle Good/Strong previous reversal Bounce up of the TDI off the 32 line and Stoch of the 20 Cons: Slightly against the higher trend (although it has been pretty flat to be fair) Outside of the normal ...

I think what we have here is two sets of view points emerging. One is keep it really simple just trade the tdi crosses when pa looks good. The other view point is to add lots of extra indicators, fib levels, pivots etc. I think probably the best ...

There was actually a really good bounce trade on that pair just after I posted.
