I’ll keep an eye on the system as it does seems simple and away from some the usual stochs and rsi I see.

In the very first post or the thread starter there is a zip file with instructions. Who are those instructions from? Big E? or Johnny? It seems like Johnny at the first was trying this system out but the zip file explanations seemed like they have been trading this for sometime now. Was it Big E? or Johnny? just curious.

Search for it on FF.Trading made Simple is the name of the thread.

Been testing this strategy for the past 3 weeks, one of which I had no internet access for 3 days and only traded 2 days.

week 1: 147 pips
week 2: 49 pips (2 days only)
week 3: 302 pips

Forex is fun when I’m raking in the pippage

Thanks for showing us a new and innovative system. Keep rolling!!

baby24 · April 8, 2013, 11:26am

No, the system is not dead, but the original creator - BigE Eelfranz- has died. Still the system is running on FF very strong with lots of success. Just stick to the rules (and many pdfs there).

Hi, I have downloaded the MT4 system as a demo, then the indicator file attached at the beginning of the thread. It worked fine, but then I logged in on the demo account id and the custom indicator file had disappeared. So i deleted and downloaded again, copied in files as before, it shows the files as being saved in MS Windows My Computer, but when i log in to MT4 (either as a demo acc or as a live account, which i registered as i thought it might be something to do with the fact it was a demo account), the indicators/template just dont show up in MT4 even though they are definitely saved down in the correct places. Does anybody have any ideas why? I have no experience of MT4, so maybe its something I havent done?

Hello traders. I have embarked on a new trading method and I wanted to share it with you.

First I want to say I did not invent this system and all credit should go to a trader named Eelfranz. This is his method and he has a huge thread about it on another forum. I just wanted to bring it here because the method is very simple and so far it seems very profitable.

Here is a rundown of what is entailed…

Timeframe: 4H or 1H (the original author trades 4H I prefer 1H)
Pairs: Any pair you are comfortable with

indicators:This method uses Heiken Ashi candles + TDI +Stochs for conformation
I will attach a template file for MT4 to simplify things.

Bottom line with this method, it is very simple it can be used on any timeframe and with any pair but I feel reliability would be much lower on lower time frames.

[B]What we are looking for first and foremost is a cross of the tdi indicator[/B]. If the green line crosses up through the red line we are looking to buy. If the green line crosses down through the red line we are looking to sell. Also note where the tdi is. It is a much better signal to sell if the tdi is coming up from under the 50 line and a much better signal if the tdi is coming down from above the 50 line.

Second thing we look for is Stochastics. We are only using Stochs for confirmation. If they are oversold and pointing up than it confirms the buy. If they are overbought and turning down it confirms the sell.

Third we have a 5ema on the chart but that is just visual and not really used. Allthough there is some advanced exits that can be done with it and we will discuss that later.

I also have an indicator called Bid_Ask_BDv8 which I use to see the price at a glance.

Hey everyone. I’m interested in this system and want to try it out on demo. I’ve read about it on FF and here as well. One thing that has me confused I have bolded. Does the OP mean to say that when the green line passes DOWN through the red line when it is BELOW the 50 line, it is a better sell signal? And when the TDI passes UP through the red line when it is ABOVE the 50 line, it is a better buy signal?

Also when stochastic is used for confirmation of direction, do you just look at the stochastic and see just the direction it is going in? ie. up or down?

Thanks all.

johnnykanoo:

right now I am using the nearest support and resistance but I think I will be experimenting with the 5ema “tunnel” for exits. I will go into detail in a later post but ina nutshell you take a 5ema with a shift of 2 (I think) and apply to the open and the close. In a downtrend the price should be below it and in an uptrend price should be above it. the exit would be either when price enters the channel which would be a consolidation or when price crosses through it depending on your risk appetite.

I did forget to mention big e says if the tdi goes flat or curves around like a question mark you should enter.

so the 3 exit methods are when price crosses the 5 ema
when the tdi goes flat or to the opposite end of the window
nearest support and resistance

or you could always shoot for 1:1 so where you place your stop make the tp equal distance.

Also btw stops should be placed above the nearest high or low.

talk to you guys later,
john

i want learn this method ,please help me to understand that how i can apply this method to my trading. and thanks a lot for sharing your method ,

pghud3 · August 31, 2013, 10:44pm

Can some one please confirm the settings for the TDI?

frosty85 · September 26, 2013, 4:01am

Hi All,

Does anybody still trade this method? The rules are very clear regarding entries, exits, and trade management, but I am still having a hard time trying to trade a scenario such as the one displayed below

As you can see, there are alternating buy and sell signals. A cross from the bottom to the top, then followed by a cross from top to bottom of red line, back and forth.

Can anybody explain how we could spot these whipsaws in advance? or is there already something in the list of rules that I might have overlooked?

Thank you very much for sharing this method

Miha72 · December 29, 2013, 5:37pm

I am a little confused about this… thatif the line goes up the 50 line so I should sell? can you explain this paragraph in a much simpler format please.

I have started trading this.
One trade I am in. I prefer daily and it seems most traders prefer 4hour or less.
