Ok, i have my template. But can I launch the screener asking the system to check just a specific list? Sorry for boring you, Pascal, please answer me only if you have time… I can understand that this question is a personal question and I don’t want to bore the Forum. Many thanks, ciao. Fabio
No one is boring me, if you have questions, ask them! 🙂
Of course you can screen your own list (picture attached).
ouch… I’m making some mistake for sure but I cant understand where is my error… it seems that the Screener doesn’t screen the list… And i have written the code, without pasting and copying. Any idea about my possible mistake?
ciao Nicolas, sorry for insisting, I need your help… what kind of clues could I give you to sort out my problem :-)? Really sorry but I cannot screen my list… I am not able to find my errors… Thks a lot (please let me know if it is better I continue this discussion in the “ProScreener Support”, maybe I am in a wrong area?
thks, ciao
Fabio
I like this, but please forgive the daft question … is this a Screener or an Indicator or both?
It has the words ‘Screener’ on the bottom line of the code and so PRT reads it as a Screener.
I have it working as a Screener with some results showing ‘0’ under the ‘Criteria’ column. (1 for Long and -1 for Short may be useful?)
In Nicolas first post he says ….
The yellow moving average is a visual reference on the main chart. When a candle cross the MA, the green line of the TDI cross also the red line. If TDI is rising up, that’s a long trade and a short one when it is declining.
10 mins later … I’ve thought about it a bit more … I guess I run the Screener, then select instruments of my choice and have Heiken Ashi Candles on my Charts with Simple Moving Average, 5 periods, shifted 2 with typical price?? I would expect to see as Nicolas shows in the first post at the top of this topic?
Any comments appreciated.

Silly old me … had I read previous posts a bit slower then I would have seen that Nicolas had already answered my confusion in the last post on Page 1 – 06/08/2016 at 1:11 PM.
It’s a pity there isn’t a delete button on here as then I would delete my ramblings in the previous message.
However, I persevered and added the code ‘Return as … etc’ in place of ‘Screener … etc’ and thus turned the Screener into a ‘Trading Made Simple’ Indicator. I taught myself a bit in the process and that’s what this Site is all about.

Fabio, I’m sorry but I can’t figure out what is your problem. I have just screened successfully the whole commodities market on daily timeframe with results (picture attached).
Fabio, have you tried screening maximum numbers of all instruments (Forex, Commodities, Indexes) and also with maximum number instruments selected keep trying across all timeframes one after another … until you get some hits / results?
Reason I say above is that I thought the Screener wasn’t working at first and even with ‘max everything’ (as described above) there are very few results.
However, when I turned the Screener into an Indicator on my Charts I proved to myself that there are results … see the very bottom indicator on attached.

Ciao GraHal, many thanks for your kind reply!
Yes, indeed. I have tried all the possible combination 🙂 crossing lists and time frames. I am sure that i am making a mistake somewhere. I have a last thing to do, since i copied and pasted the code, there’s the possibility that an error had been generated. I’ll write the code ex-novo.
Many thanks for the support! I’ll keep you posted.
ciao and have a nice week end
Fabio
Fabio you may have missed the file that Nicolas provided … just click, save and import into PRT. Here is the file …
TradingMadeSimple screener
There are specific instructions on the site on how to import into PRT … just say if you can’t find the instructions?
Ciao
GraHal
ouch… I’m a stupid… I was insisting… thinking that I imported the file… and it’s not the first time I needed to import a file… bah!!!!
Now Screener and Indicator work very fine, on my list and for my preferred time frame… changing the code as per your suggestion in a former post.
really really sorry Guys… I wasted your time too much 🙂
Many many thanks GraHal as well as to Nicolas!!!
ciao, and have a very nice week end!!!

Fabio, no problemo, that’s what we are all here for … to help each other to get better and to move onward and upward … especially with our equity curves! ha

Thanks for sharing this! It’s always great to revisit classic systems like TMS—especially ones that have stood the test of time and have a solid community behind them.
Even though you haven’t traded it yet, it’s awesome that you’re open to exploring it with others. I’ve come across the TMS method before, and it’s definitely one of those “keep it simple” approaches that many traders appreciate, especially for those who don’t want to get too deep into complex indicators.
The use of the TDI as a central tool is interesting, and I agree—watching the crossovers in conjunction with price action and higher timeframes can definitely help filter out the noise.
I’d be happy to test it out alongside you or share insights as we go. Maybe we can even work on tweaking it together to fit our individual styles better. Looking forward to seeing how this plays out—thanks again for putting this out there for the PRT community!
