Big E Trading

Hi,
I was not able to open the file you had attached. Can you suggest me how to download the TDI indicator. Thanks:47:

thanks for deeply informition…

Anyone still trading this? I drifted upon this thread tonight and I see it was dormant for some time. Just wondering as this method appears to be quite simple and effective.

Hi. I think there are busy making pips profits ^^

Hi John

The attached image shows two TDI indicators, traders-dynamic-index, downloaded from a website and the other one id TDI Red Green downloaded from your thread, this one. Both MAs red and green are pretty straight but the second one is curved down and the green line touching the 50 line. My understanding od them is the first one says wait and the second one says get ready it about time to trade.

I shall appreciate your comments,

This thread has been dormant for six months!

What an amazing system! In ten years of trading I have never found
a system to be so reliable! I wish I had been around six years ago
when Johnny started this thread.

I am sticking quite rigidly to the rules and template that Johnny provided
and not getting many losers.

I’ve been a bit bemused why some haven’t had such great success.
Thats probably just how trading is. Personally I only use D1 so far,
and am extremely selective. But I do use the 5 MA that comes with
Johnny’s ZIP

Its not really part of the system but I find it essential ironically.
I’m looking for a nice succession of same color HA candles that
crosses over 5MA with clear cross of green over red as per Johnny’s
rules and then enter after first candle that crossed and changed color.

It is a very simple system, and very intuitive - just trade when the
market is actually moving and not stuck in a range - a bit of a truism
but by simply filtering out choppy, range bound markets and sticking
to the rules on the higher TFs I don’t see how you can go wrong with
this.

I have literally trialed hundreds of systems over the years but nothing
has ever come close to this!

No real need to resurrect this thread unless anyone wants to,
because the system came over from the FF forum many years
ago and the thread is still going strong with over 80,000 posts
to date. I think that is a testimony to how profitable this system
is. It is truly a very simple system, but as always there
are guys who want to take a thread over with highly
technical analysis etc. They may be profitable, and even helpful
to some, but intimidating to many others.

It works well exactly the way the originator Big E traded it - just
a cross of green over red on TDI indicator but read his PDF first
or go back to the beginning of his thread or beginning of this
thread as Johnny was very faithful to the original trading rules.

It was started by the late EelFranz (Big E) and you can download a
pdf of all his instructions and training on page 4070 of the ‘Trading
made Simple’ thread on FF,or his basic instructions in pdf are on
post 123 of this thread here on BP.

just for the heck of it I threw this template up on a daily chart and I am going to plug this into my fxblue trade simulator just to see how it does.

This was a great system but I left it for what I thought was better at the time which was automated trading, which did well for me, but then I went out and learned how to trade off of price action. Which left me hating indicators.

So I do really well with my trading but I am always interested in doing something different and i am thinking these heikin ashi candles suck in a sideways market but are pretty incredible in a trending market.

So I am going to focus on eurjpy and maybe even gbpjpy (the trendiest pares I know)

why not I’m bored lol…

My first trade is plus 115 pips so far

For exits i will wait for a counter signal. For long I will close at a red candle and vice versa

Amazing how quickly things can turn around isn’t it.

Well she is up almost 800 pips now. I have been thinking a lot about what is happening here. This isn’t luck this is proof that this system works well in a trending market (which is very true with heiken ashi candles) I will close this order once I get a red candle.

Next time I take a trade on the beast with this system I will go live. I wil have better defined risk as well. I bought 1 lot just because it was easy to. If I am to be serious about it I wiould probably set my stop slightly larger than one days range.

This is definietly the best beast trade I ever put on.

Still hovering around 800 pips

once a red candle closes I will close the trade and look for another entry

I’m gonna chart this and maybe E/J on the daily and see how they do in the long term.

Nearly 1000 pips. Even if my stop loss was 100 this would be a 20% trade or 200 pips a 10% trade

How many of these homeruns would I need a year? especially considering this is on top of my day trades which I do fairly well on.

I closed the trade last week but didnt have time to post the chart so here ya go. Almost 800 pips and it was effortless.

I got the idea of trading the daily because I trade a bullish or bearish big wick on the dailies and it is effortless trading and very consistent, so I love it!

I’m in the process of doing a walk forward analysis with gby/jpy and eur/jpy I will post a link with the results.

I forgot to post my entry. Doubt anyone cares anyway but I’m up about 80. Maybe another homerun. Time will tell
