Making a Forex Trading Robot: Key Steps
TDI Signal Strategy
The TDI Signal Strategy is a versatile tool, adaptable to various trading styles from scalping to position trading. Its core lies in the interaction of the Green, Red, and Yellow lines, where the Green line crossing the Red line with a strong angle indicates a potential trade aligned with the trend direction of the Yellow line.
Pros:

- Versatile across different timeframes and trading styles.
Cons:
- Requires constant monitoring for crossovers.
- May produce false signals in choppy markets.

- Can yield significant profits if a strong reversal occurs.
Cons:
- Risky as it goes against the prevailing trend.

Pros:
- Good for intraday traders looking for quick reversals.
- Clear visual signal with the hook shape.
Cons:
- High risk due to counter-trend nature.
- Requires precise timing and tight stop-losses.
