TDI Plus EMAs Forex Trading Strategy
In this article I will break down a very powerful forex trading strategy. If you master all the concepts, you will see a drastic change in your trading. However, profitable forex trading requires several factors that includes risk management, patience and discipline to name but a few. On top of this we need a strategy that gives us order of what to look for in the markets.
Traders Dynamic Index Indicator – TDI
The TDI is the only indicator that can read market volatility and sentiment at the same time. It is a powerful indicator that can signal overbought or oversold assets with ease. Firstly, lets describe the components of the TDI indicator.
Components of the TDI Indicator
Above is a pictorial view of the TDI indicator. The main component is the volatility bands which contains the volatility of the market. The RSI line shows rise or drop of the relative strength index. The moving 50 is the boundary of the upper and lower potion of the indicator. However, the most important components for our trading strategy are the volatility bands and the RSI line.
TDI Shark fin
As the name of the trading strategy implies the TDI is the first indicator you need. CHECK IT IN OUR FREE TELEGRAM CHANNEL. On the TDI we need the RSI line piercing out of the volatility bands and going back inside. We call this effect shark fin. The shark fin will be observed on the four-hour timeframe (H4).
H4 Timeframe shark fin signifies that the market has set a peak formation low. Please note that this will not be an entry signal but a greenlight for preparation. The next part now requires exponential moving averages or EMAs in short.
Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs)
The EMAs will provide 2 things which are the point of market interest and point of market entry. We will employ 2 emas which are the period 13 exponential moving average and the period 50 exponential moving average both of them applied to close. These should look as shown below.
Rules for Entry

Wait for 13 ema to cross 50 ema on the H1 timeframe above or below
The 50 ema is the point of market interest
Look for any valid candlestick reversal pattern at the 50 ema and buy or sell when the candle closes
