Disliked{quote} Nice plan but unfortunately volatility is grinding to a hault with Friday and Christmas around the corner. I really doubt either bb will be hit now but you never know. Here's some tips as I'm a nonstop studying addict. 1. Macd arrows are always for beginnings. Whether it's a beginning of a trend or a reversal. They never tell the oversold or overbought story. That's for the divergence swings long and short to do also known as the matrix. The macd cannot predict the reversal or consolidation swing beforehand and thus can only be relied upon...Ignored
1) The lower BB was very nearly hit so his plan was based on what he was seeing - the support and resistance, not how he was thinking about it or what he believed or doubted. The important point here is it was on his plan.
2) The MACD arrows are not always for beginnings. In a 100% trend, an MACD arrow in the OPPOSITE direction (and without an EMA arrow) , especially on downtrends, is an entry back into the trend with S/R as a reference. If you don't believe me - take a look.
3) The MACD is also very reliable in predicting the trend turn, when in the correct order with EMA Arrow and with Daily Divergence and Fib Flip.
4) I'm not sure how you have related Stochastic to DB and SAR. The DB is the only indicator that repaints in The Paradox, I'm not aware that Stochastic does? The DB is useful in 1) Predicting its own or a new swing (when it breaks away from SAR) and/or 2) In consolidation with S/R as reference for an entry. The SAR is once again nothing like a Stochastic. It is very useful in a trending market - Stochastic is not. There are no comparisons, as far as I am concerned, with DB/SAR and an indicator like Stochastic, which is an Oscillator.
5) The Matrix you mention is much more than that. Much, much more, and hopefully in 2017 you will get to understand it.
The one thing you were correct about is the Power of the Paradox. And what makes it so powerful is each component, which individually are not hugely powerful, but when combined, they are totally out of this world. So you got that one right
Hope that helps.

Nobody can be told what The Matrix is. You'll have to see it yourself.
