Pablo keep going. I hit a wall and almost gave up as I just didnt 'get it'. Just keep pushing on and it will all 'click' one day. I dont mean to step out of line and patronise but keep it simple- it helped me. Find the power of the trend on your plan. Today the gap was there, confirmation on your trend chart and the daily was shouting to re balance. Anyway, Ive still got a million miles to go so we can do this journey together!

Date - June 20, 2017

Daily:
ROMAR - Support
EMA - Support
PSAR - Support
Check list:
Last EMA arrow - UP
Last MACD arrow - UP
Last DB/SAR - TOP Connection
Fibonacci - UP/GREEN
Notes:
4 horsemen in trend up. ROMAR, EMA and PSAR are all support. Market rejected off 61.8 Fibonacci level.

Entry Picture: Criteria fulfilled for entry.

H2:
ROMAR - Support
EMA - Resistance
PSAR - Resistance
Check list:
Last EMA arrow - DOWN
Last MACD arrow - DOWN
Last DB/SAR - TOP Connection at 0 Fibonacci level with standard and hidden divergence attached.
Fibonacci - DOWN/RED

Notes:
After a day of tight consolidation, the market brakes out downwards. One can see this by White and Smooth crossing Purple, and EMA crossing Purple to change EMA to resistance and short term trend to down. Lower Bollinger Band opening downwards. MACD strongly below 0, increasing confluence for the downtrend.

H1:
ROMAR - Resistance
EMA - Resistance
PSAR - Resistance (eliminated by White crossing Purple)
Check list:
Last MACD arrow - Down
Fibonacci - UP/GREEN

Notes:
EMA is still above ROMAR, causing ROMAR to be support. Smooth still above White and Purple, but White crossed Purple and eliminated the PSAR resistance. H2 PSAR holding the trend down along with Purple, White and Smooth fully aligned for the trend down.

Final notes: Daily trend is up, H2 short term trend down.

Entry: I am planning for a short position. Since we are trending down on our trend chart, the H2, seen by EMA above purple and the 4 horsemen in trend down, the trade is from resistance. In downtrend, we trade from top (resistance). In this case, I will short from White.

Short: I will short at candle at White while 4 horsemen are in trend.

Good evening,
Here is my trading plan for June 20/17

Daily

Romar:Support
Ema:Support
Parabolic:Support
Macd:Up
Fibo:green
Db/Sar:attached at 124.636
Notes: Coming down and about to hit ema smooth crossing support.

2 Hour

Romar:Resistance
Ema:Resistance
Parabolic: Resistance
Macd:down
Fibo:red
Db/Sar: both on bottom and going with the down swing.

Notes: recent cross of Romar support and getting close to
the 100 fibo for the flip up. Ema still above Romar.

1 Hour

Romar:resistance
Ema:Resistance
Parabolic:resistance
Macd:down
Fibo:green
Db/Sar: joined and running with the market. Hidden divergence
showing.

Notes: Ema in a slider. Fib is green with hidden divergence showing.

Final Notes: H2 and Daily ema still above romar. H1 ema crossed down putting the market into
consolidation. There is good support with the ema smooth crossing on the daily but the H2
is still in a strong downward move. Looking for the h2 to turn around and enter off support
going long.

Hello Good people.
Just checking please if everyone's charts are the same as mine?
Currently i have a SAR attached with a DB attached the next candle which touched 0.3 pip lower than the SAR attachment.
Having not seen a SAR stay in place after attaching concurrently with a DB & then the DB move further down i'm wondering if my configuration is out or if the chart is correct, if this needs to be a concern for trading.

Yes Oily - it is correct. Something happened in the market at that time which locked in both DB and SAR for a reversal. That is only the power of the Paradox. It doesn't happen often but it does happen.

Self Evaluation

My understanding was that after the market broke through H2 Romar support and Ema was still above and no sign of crossing Romar that it would turn around. The daily looked to have strong support as well with ema crossing smooth. The market did not stop exactly at Ema smooth crossing but went down to the Daily 38.2 which was a few pips past that. It went up very quick before the h2 parabolic flipped and I didn't see any open bar entry off support so no entry was made.

I was wondering if I could get feedback as to where the best entry on this scenario was. Thank you.

Think you made a good plan, and I so wanted to enter before the Purple White Smooth cross (because of the DB/SAR hitting the Fibo) but I still fully don't know what I'm doing yet. In the words of Neo:

'Morpheus:
How did I beat you?
Neo:
You... you're (it was) too fast.
Morpheus:
Do you believe that my being stronger or faster has anything to do with my muscles in this place? Do you think that's air you're breathing now?'

Hi everyone, I missed the action earlier and was away from being able to view the charts. When I came back, the SAR was already up at parabolic on H2. Would someone be kind enough to check if I am seeing the order correctly? H2 fibo flip to green with the DB and SAR connected together at the bottom? Next candle opened and bumped the fibo down 0.3 pips where DB followed but the SAR did not, or was the SAR already up at this point?

You need to study more and get support and resistance corrected:

2 Hour

Romar:Resistance
Ema:Resistance
Parabolic: Resistance
Macd:down
Fibo:red
Db/Sar: both on bottom and going with the down swing.

Notes: recent cross of Romar support and getting close to
the 100 fibo for the flip up. Ema still above Romar.

This came off your trading plan and and by no-means is it correct.

But the entry was on the open 18:00 EST candle for the short.

On May 16th we began a ranging mode with a high of 125.803 and last week we hit a low of 122.388 on the Daily. And when we hit that High I wrote a tutorial explaining the ranging mode we were going to experience for weeks to follow. I explain how the SAR will dominate this ranging for entries and exits with the Daily. That was 5 or 6 weeks ago. And as of today I haven't yet seen any postings of a trading plan referencing the SAR on the Daily for entries within this ranging mode.

What I am saying is if the connection of the SAR is on the bottom then your plan is referencing a long trade. If the SAR is connected on top then your plan is referencing a short. And then you reference the H2 for an entry with the SAR on the Daily. Most of you traders take it for granted that you don't need to read everything; just jump in and trade. But what you do not realize - without the edge you cannot make it. And to gain the edge you must know everything about the Paradox.

You are probably tired of being thanked. I've been away for a while, but on catching up on the thread I read those posts you mention on the SAR and the one shinny did just before and they were both gold to me. I'm sure I speak for a lot of us poor ijuts on here who are agonising over your teachings, and wondering why we just ain't getting it.

This is a great framework and I know I'm making slow progress. As long as I can see that, the power of self prevails.

I shall raise my cocktail glass tonight for the teachings, all the poor souls who aren't there yet. And to the ongoing success of those that are.

Cheers

Evaluation: TP hit, +40 pips. This trade was within the rules and ended profitably. The daily chart had the 4 horsemen in trend up, along with ROMAR and EMA as support, but the H2 trend was down with EMA above purple and the H2 horsemen in trend down. The trade was taken from resistance, when market opened at White. Only several pips initial drawdown. I consider the execution to be in the moment as I was trading the current H2 candle, and took the trade off the H2 chart like the rules state. However, I still need to fully learn how DB and SAR work, so I will keep revisiting the DB SAR FIBO tutorial many times again until I understand it.

I ask that the veteran traders state their opinions on my plan and evaluation.

Well - let me say this: I took the exact trade you did but my reasoning was different then yours. I based my entry on the Daily DB/SAR. We both were fortunate in getting out with our 40 because shortly afterwards OPEC made an announcement and the market turned on a dime. If it wasn't for OPEC I would had favor the market continued south. But your entry was superb with the moment as the H2 was heading south. So your trade was very good.

Earlier today I had made this posting to once again explain the Daily SAR. And again - this evening I had took a short entry with the open 18:00 EST candle. And guess what? I took my 40 with the DB/SAR attached on top and I am finished until tomorrow.

The reason was DB/SAR making attachment at the top, and the 18:00 EST open candle was at the level of the attachment on top earlier in the day - because next attachment was on bottom, correct?
