I was was watching that trade and saying why is he trading right into the psar?- even though I "knew" (was suppose to know) it was eliminated as support. Sweet trade along with ema alert and macd.

Quoting Adaptation
{quote} Self evaluation: +40 pips. Market went straight down, it was a good trade I followed the rules and had patience.
Good One Adaptation! As we're pausing on this trade I have a question based on an in the moment observation. Adaptation (or anyone), when entry was made at opening of 5:00 EST was the SAR attached to the bottom? I know that it was by the close of that bar, when it touched the PSAR. Then as it moved south DB attached (as it still is). Apparently since the SAR wasn't mentioned in either the trading plan or entry notes it hadn't shown up yet. I was considering a short at roughly this point but when I was looking at it the SAR was attached offering support and so I held off. So question, in such a case where White and Smooth cross Purple in sequence and open bar is at or below EMA is it correct to understand that the power is with the white and smooth crossings and not the SAR (or later on the DB)? Thanks all.

Good point mate.

From hrs and hrs of watching the charts recently, my view (may be incorrect) is that the DB/SAR is especially powerless when the four horsemen are in flow - even when both divergences attach.....but then you take yesterday afternoon's attachment at the bottom (128.566) and the DB/SAR with both divergences then appear to have power over the four horsemen. Difference? We have the BB touch at the bottom...

Then Wednesday at 129.736 I was waiting for the DB/SAR to attach after BB strike, which it did around the Parabolics, then keep the trend going long....but it didn't, the four horsemen took over and sent it short.

My conclusion? Not sure, still going over it and have been all day!!!

Cheers,
Andy

...edit to add I'll go read that too, thanks sir!

At this time I would like to use Adaptation as an example of what every trader should be doing.

In the beginning, Adaptation was asking a lot of questions that had already been answered. His first posting was June 3rd of this year introducing himself and stated he has already been studying the Paradox for about a month. But the questions kept coming and he was constantly guided to study the system and his questions would be answered.

It was not until I made it a requirement to post the rule(s) for the entry on all trading plans did his attitude changed. It was a light bulb moment knowing he would never learn unless he knew the rules of trading. And from that moment on - and with every trading plan entry - he posted the rules for his entry.

It was difficult for him because each scenario has its own rules. So I told him to study the scenarios, and the rules that belong to each scenario, and he would get a better vision of what was happening. But mostly - learn patience on waiting for the market come to him; and not chase the market..

Little by little, Adaptation was achieving his goal in learning how to the trade the Paradox by apply the rules for each scenario. He has aways to go but one thing is for certain; he will be one of the 5%. The reason is because he has the heart in learning.

His last trading plan was astounding in the way he had seen resistance and not to go long. But he waited for the short - knowing going short was the trade - and took the trade according with the rules. There was no-way he could had seen the resistance if it was not for studying and placing his heart into studying,

Adaptation got a lot of complements with his trade and deserves everyone of them. I had seen the resistance before I read Adaptation trading plan. And to be honest; I was impressed with his trading plan in seeing the resistance, and astounded with his entry going short. For me - that was impressive and had shown me that one day he will be one of the great ones.

One great thing about Adaptation; he is humbled and I also believe he walks in faith. I suggest in each of you learn from Adaptation attitude of learning. If you do - then you too can reach a goal of being one of the great ones.

Thanks much for your reply! And yes, me too...I'm coming to the conclusion that when "the four horsemen are in flow" they tend to have the power, unless or until some other major variable comes into play, like as you mentioned a BB strike. BUT, I now need to go back and study up specifically on this topic. Dana says it's out there!

I am wondering also if the Fibo was still down at the DB/SAR attachment on the bottom at the Parabolic after the Wednesday high at 129.73.? And then the Fibo flipped up at the low 128.56? From now on I am marking on the chart where the Fibo flips.

{quote} Therapsid - when this subject was brought up a week or two ago - your question was answered. So go back and read about.
I confess I overcomplicate things...I realize that I am not at all unique in that regard (a human nature thing). So, with that confession the answer to my question is therefore in keeping; meaning it is as simple as post #10,527: "If White is AT the crossing of Purple and on the Next bar Smooth is AT the crossing of Purple; you have an entry and 90% of the time the open candle is below EMA for short and above EMA for the long." In other words, this event reveals where the power is...and it is power enough to push the SAR and or DB/SAR up against major support or resistance, which in this case was ROMAR. Simple! (unless I'm incorrect).

What is a Paradox?

Definition in English language is:

a :something (such as a situation) that is made up of two opposite things and that seems impossible but is actually true or possible.
b :someone who does two things that seem to be opposite to each other or who has qualities that are opposite.
c :a statement that seems to say two opposite things but that may be true.

A paradox is often used to intrigue and question common thoughts. Take the statement "Less is more." This statement uses two opposite words that contradict one another. How can less be more? The concept behind this statement is that what is less complicated is often more appreciated.

In the terms of trading the Paradox is a mathematical rectangular organization of numbers that is used to make various calculations; in short - the Paradox is a linear transformation from what is false to what is true. And because of this transformation it is a Matrix. As TraderMarcos had stated: The rules are set in stone.

As I have stated time and time again: The Paradox is by no means standard. The Matrix that is built within the Paradox has a set of rules that will guarantee 100% entries and exits; and is known as the Matrix group consisting of a set of mathimatical objects together with a binary operation, that is, an operation combining any two objects to a third, subject to certain requirements which are the rules for each combination.

What this means you have to be part of the Matrix in order to beat the market. And in order to be part of the Matrix you HAVE TO KNOW ALL THE RULES of the Matrix.

So the question is: What makes the Paradox truth? The answer is very simple. The mathimatical structure of the Matrix which are generated into the RULES brings forth the truth.

So you may know 60% of the rules with the Matrix on this thread are NOT IN THE DOCUMENTS. I suggest for those who have not yet read this thread then begin today and read EVERY SINGLE POST and write up a journal of everything you have missed; and study in how to trade the Paradox within these rules of the Matrix. If you don't then you are wasting your time. There is not one question you have is not posted on this thread.
