SDI and TMA Bands

Pair: EUR/USD
Timeframe: 5min

I use SDI (30min timeframe) on a 5min chart for direction.

Rules:

Blue line crosses above purple → Buy
Blue line crosses below purple → Sell
Also use when the bar turns green (buy) or red (sell) as another trigger

Then I use TMA Bands (5-minute timeframe) for entries.

When I get a signal, I wait for price to hit the third band:

Sell → top third band
Buy → bottom third band

The problem is TMA Bands repaint, so it looks perfect after but not in live trading.

I’m looking for a non-repainting indicator that does something similar — showing good entry zones or extremes like TMA Bands.

I’ve tried other indicators but nothing feels the same.

TMA bands based on fixed lookback periods are always gonna repaint—it's a trap for live trading. instead of chasing holy grail indicators, focus on dynamic support/resistance or volatility logic; that's where the actual market structure lives, not in some lagging repaint tool.

Refer to my post here to get some non repainting tma, maybe some of those can help you. post1295580383.html#p1295580383
