The Paradox System

Andy's chart is right - the SAR was locked in with the NFP.

Yeah sorry about that, having a day of watching EJ/EU/GU and how they react with PAradox and NFP/G20, posted the EU chart a few posts further back by mistake!

Cheers,
Andy

here you go pal

typical i was a bit late

Thanks mate

RC

You short of lamp oil or what

take no notice off MA lines as i wasnt trading today so didnt turn on till late morning.

typical, not trading today and even i could have got that 40!!

Did you see it in the moment mate? middle to bottom to top in around 39 seconds, EU spike was even quicker! Be very hard to catch an entry, never mind deciding what direction it will go


Cheers,
Andy

your computer must be faster than mine, it took 42 minutes from my snap shot (129.520 H2 EMA) to get the 40, agreed It was quick my snap takes about a minute and i even witnessed the SAR moving back a bar.

Hello traders - I got a PM from Leeleany about the simulator and I must apologize because I have had that simulator for some time in my Expert folder and forgot all about it. If you still got the link for this simulator I suggest go back to the web-page (if you still have the link) and click on the video tutorials. It is pretty dynamic. A lot to learn about this simulator. I did notice Leeleany deleted all his postings on the subject.

This thread is like no other, those who come here every day know what I am saying!
I have made a few post in the past but learned that my real knowledge of the Paradox was "0".
I am slowly learning in the background and will return there now, I know I have much to learn and I am greatful for this forum and the content that it provides.
Cheers

Hello,
Nice to see someone else new as I am also and do love this thread immensely. Once you understand the rules of posting plans then it is best to start as soon as you can. The feedback that I've received from Dove has helped me grow very much and when you have the critique you will grow much faster if you take what teacher says very seriously. So don't hesitate to at least try one plan and see how that goes for you if you stick to the rules and study very hard.

The reason I'm saying this is because I was studying in the background as well and although I was learning it was nowhere near the pace of being in the action.

So after Sunday open, will we be in the 10% of the market that is designated as "news"?

I remember 80% is consolidation, 10% is trend, and the other 10% is news.

I think with G20 ongoing today we can safely say we will still be in news 10%.

I noticed the H1 ROMAR is now out of the BB's, and the H1 BB's are starting to Squeeze tight - within the rules of Paradox I'm searching the thread to see if this has any relevance or not.....

sunday open is after news release，so is ok to trade if there no jpy news. and due to the g20, a gap may appear when market open，master had mentioned before how to trade a gap

Hello Solitude,

This is my first post here. Thanks for the advice for a newbie such as myself. I've been studying the thread for only a few weeks now so I'm too new and lack the knowledge to post a plan. For now I'll be the guy in the back of the room quietly studying and taking notes. Anyway, thanks again for the advice.
I'd also like to thank the Creator of the Paradox and the teacher and helpers (Dove, Shinny and Hendo). May God bless you for your efforts.

Regards,
Rich

Hello everyone,

First would like to thank you all for your efforts and for this wonderful system. I don't want to ditch or talk about other methods, but the power of this system. I am an engineer with a masters degree, I built several complex software applications and I know how important it is to understand the process using a top down approach.

I have a few questions if anyone can help.... Here you go :

-To end a trend, you need both Green / Magento divergence attached to the candle? Or do we also need a retrace to go as deep as it goes through past EMA support in an uptrend and EMA resistance in a downtrend ? I know that purple needs to cross white to start the consolidation.
-When you are in a trend you have both DB and SAR attachment. And you use SAR for re-entries during retraces. Am I right?
-You never have SAR attached in a ranging market. This helps identify that we are in a ranging market. Again please let me know if I am right.


I am already trading this method. The problem I have right now is that I am very conservative and only take sure fire trades (I trade off the parabolic or smooth most of the time and I am not using all the power of the paradox mostly because everytime I see a scenario that doesn't fit in this model I just don't trade it and I know I should since there are rules for it. But I don't have a 1600x900 monitor so I can't really post my charts with questions (will get a monitor in a week), and will start posting trading plans.


If someone can layout the rules to transition from a ranging market to a trend, and vice versa, it will be much appreciated. The rules on how to trade in a ranging market are already laid out in the DB SAR.pdf document, I printed it and read it.

My current understanding, to transition from a trend to consolidation these are the conditions:
1) Parabolic flip, as parabolic is a strong resistance/support in trends.
2) Both Green/Magenta both attach to the same candle (in an uptrend).
3) DB and SAR reattach both to the same candle.
4) Cross of Purple/EMA has to happen (as many times in the last trend of june we had purple almost cross white but it has eventually just slided for a continuance of the trend).


Ok I decided to download Jakdan chart and put questions in it just to know if I am on the right track. I know I am missing a part of the matrix but this part is one of the most unclear to me. I can identify a trend once the 4 horsemen are aligned in order, also I understand that H1/H2 need to be in synch etc... But I can't see in the future unless the scenario is crystal clear and simple. So the way, I am learning to trade is to get rid of all these questions I've posted here and use the very simple approach only.

I am adding more of my thoughts as this post is still awaiting moderation, and from seeing the charts, what I think will happen in the future, is the DB and SAR will connect in a next candle with both the divergences. It means that DB will travel north once again with both the divergences and then SAR will have a last swing to connect with it.

Hope you can help.

Gold bless you all.

Let me explain something for you trader. This is NOT a top down system. It starts from the bottom. Every question you have is on this thread. This means you have to start from page one and read everything. The questions you posted above have been answered many times. So start on page one and you will find all of your answers.

A mystery for me.

My current charts look like as per below.
Jakdan & Andy have said and have posted the SAR having attached onto EMA. They also say the SAR moved back a bar during Friday's session but haven't posted their chart of the SAR having moved. We have the before but not an after,...... so i am unsure how the SAR could move back 1 bar from it's attachment, i wasn't online to see this occur. So am also wondering if my chart is currently correct or incorrect.?????

Any takers on explaining why a SAR, after attaching would move back to a previous bar & also on checking my H2 chart for accuracy please.
Many thanks,

Oli
