Daily:
ROMAR – support
EMA - support
PSAR - support

Check List:
Last MACD 0 crossing up
Last EMA Alert Arrow up
Last DB Attachment up at 128.956 with magenta divergence
FIBO down


Notes: the 4 horsemen are strong for the uptrend. Open candle at purple and at the top of this FIBO which proved to be a strong resistance. DB/SAR attached on top of the FIBO with magenta divergence for the continuance of the uptrend.

2 HR:
ROMAR - support
EMA - resistance
PSAR - resistance

Check List:
Last MACD 0 crossing down
Last EMA Alert Arrow up
Last DB Attachment down at 128.027 with blue divergence and at the 61.8 FIBO level.
FIBO down

Notes: the 2 HR chart is in a consolidated downswing. SAR now attached to the present candle as I am writing the plan. White and smooth crossed purple for the up. EMA is at the crossing with purple. Smooth at the crossing with white. We are in a consolidated downswing. Pip count to the top of this FIBO (39.5). ROMAR out of trading area. Pip count to lower BB (59).


1 HR:
ROMAR - support
EMA - support
PSAR – support
Notes: the 1 HR is starting an upswing following a consolidated downswing to ROMAR. PSAR is strong for the up. EMA is at the crossing with smooth. Strong uptrend.

Entry: The moment is telling me that the 2 HR chart is heading to the flip of the PSAR which would mean the start of a new upswing. However the fact that the SAR is now attached with the PSAR could mean that the downswing may continue and we seeing an EMA slider. If the PSAR flips and sets in stone I will go long from support as long as I have a 20 pip striking distance to the top of the FIBO for at least B/E in case it bounces again. If in fact we are headed to an EMA slider I will go short from resistance with an open candle below smooth as resistance and enough pip distance towards the lower BB.

"I will go long from support as long as I have a 20 pip striking distance to the top of the FIBO for at least B/E in case it bounces again."

If you do not know the rules then you better spend some more in studying. According to the rules there is no B/E. The 40/40 rule is on all trades and the trade MUST RUN IT'S COURSE to one or the other. And that is with a Period.

Hi Adaption,

you have too much bars on you screen - therefore your Fibo is wrong. Set the view to 39 bars, see the screenshot from Shaun, post 10.276.

Go to your Tool Bar and click View - then click Chats if your charts ate not showing on your tool bar. You will see two buttons together - one for shift and the other for scroll. Be sure they both are activated. It looks like your shift is not activated.

Self evaluation: -40 pips. I don't understand very well why, I thought that because the swing had changed for the up the market was going to test again the top of the FIBO. I think the market is still topping and getting ready for a turn down as Dove explained.

I thought you was going to be one of the traders that had gain wisdom in using the scenarios correctly. And now I can see my thinking was wrong. I had stated it would take a day or two for this to set up properly with ROMAR getting into the trading area. For one thing the Fibo is not support or resistance. All it does is cycle to set up S/R. Another mistake is this market is at the top and waiting on ROMAR and working the swings for ROMAR. The market hit the top once again with some banker taking a trade and back down into the swing and you pulled the trigger for a long into the short swing. The location of DB and the SAR was a signal of not going long. If you had paid attention with the last location of the DB/SAR on the bottom you would had known in order for this to go short it has to relocate on top - in which it did; and you counter-trade this scenario. And that is why you lost your trade.

Dana

don't quite understand the location of the DB/SAR is it because it stopped at the 61% Red Fibo? didn't flip? and continue to the 0%.

Sorry to be a pain but this one really has me stumped!

I think he means the last session's bottom DB connection. In between Monday 5pm and Tuesday 5 pm. That connection was on the bottom, so you would not go short because next connection is on top. Likewise, one should not have went long today after the last DB connection was on top because next connection is on bottom.

I think that's what Dana may mean by 'last location of DB/SAR on bottom'. I'm not trying to put words in the teacher's mouth, just trying to see if i have it right based on my interpretation.

Check the time of my post you will see at that time the DB/SAR was on top. They are now on the bottom in a ranging mode.

And you are correct. The DB/SAR is what keeps you honest in trading the right direction. As I had described in many postings - the DB and SAR will keep you in the right trade in using the ROMAR Trend. And still - I am not seeing traders referencing either DB or SAR in there final notes. Both of these indicators is the magic bullet getting into the right trade. All you traders need to do is learn in how to use the DB/SAR properly and you would never lose a trade. And the word "properly" is the key.

I see too many traders that are not seeing the "whole picture" in their trading plans. On your final notes the whole picture should be totally described. You guys are not taking your time but only trying to rush so you can get into a trade. Before I create my plan I study the charts in able to see the big picture. It is then I know which direction my trade is focus on. And the big picture includes the DB and SAR. It always tells me the focus in direction my trading plan is to be created. There is only a ONE WAY street when the trigger is pulled; so you need to know - always - the direction of the market. When you try to analyze both ways then you fighting a losing battle. The Paradox is telling you the direction and all you need to do is listen in what the Paradox is saying.

I have one question. By the time I made my entry, the DB/SAR were attached on top of the FIBO at 129.075. I understand that in trend, the DB moves from bar to bar and in consolidation we follow the DB from high to low and low to high. When I made my entry, all three charts were in sync for the uptrend, ROMAR/EMA and the 4 horsemen. So at that moment, I thought I wouldn't follow the DB from high to low but expect it to keep moving with the trend. By seeing the moment, that was what I saw, it was after 2 hours of my entry that the 1 HR chart changed swing and then we went in consolidation and then we should follow DB from high to low. Other than what you have said that the market is now working in swings so that ROMAR catches up, how can I know that I should have followed the DB from high to low at the moment of my entry?

I gave that answer with the Double Top. Apparently you missed the ending I stated with the Parabolic flip. That ended the high and into consolidation. And most times from an up trend it goes into ranging without ROMAR in the trading area. Your entry should had been from the top with DB/SAR and the reason is because the Double TOP is RESISTANCE. It bumped a few pips but does not eliminate the resistance. We are no longer in TREND with the H2 Parabolic flip but in ranging waiting on ROMAR.

Hi mate,

Thought I would jump in and offer some advice, it has helped me, so hopefully it maybe of some benefit to you.

I started looking at the Paradox a different way (the correct way) a while back and have been building a different structure in my learning material. Literally top level folders with each scenario, then beneath those folders material on the rules and powers that are used in those scenarios, along with many examples. This helps a lot, as when you create your plan and see the picture/ scenario in play, you reference which scenario it is and the rules/ powers are waiting for you.

I hope that is of some help
