{quote} To begin with - you do not have the right SAR swing on your chart. And the next thing - how many times I have mention the H1 is not a trading chart?
You've mentioned it more times than I can count. I tried to only use it as a confirmation of my entry on the H2. I should not have spent time analyzing it like I did.

For the SAR I'm a little confused bc my H2 was identical to the other traders at opening on Sunday. When I went in at the open candle at 0400, market reached a new low and the SAR/DB repainted temporarily to that level. At the later time points it also looked like those shown by the other traders. I'm attaching a picture of what my current H2 looks like. Maybe if you have a second you can see if it's indeed incorrect? Otherwise I'll keep an eye out for differences with everyone's else's chart.

Thank you so much for your critique.

Ok done. This is what my H2 looks like now:

Do I need to reinstall the whole system?

Good day to all. The thread today is quiet as the market. I just saw 1 possible entry last 24 hours but as i live in Spain, was sleeping at the moment. Just wanted to say hi to all, i am really obsessed these days with Paradox, still going through the thread, calculating 2-3 weeks to read it all as i have time to dedicate myself here only at night... The main challenge is to wait for a correct entry -- i was fighting the urge to make any "bet" all day long. How much days longest did you see the market acting like this?

All day the market is bumping back from EMAm possibility here but the rules say min 20 pips

below the screenshot of today´s 2h.. sorry the graph is not 100% correct as my main pc is in another place

This was my trading plan from last night. I'll make another one later today/tonight.

NEWS:
EUR CPI 0600
FOMC Harker speech 1300

Monday Trading Plan


Daily:

ROMAR - Support
EMA – Support
Parabolic - resistance

Checklist:
Last MACD 0 Crossing - down
Last EMA Alert Arrow - down
Fibonacci – Red

Notes: purple about to cross EMA to turn EMA to resistance. Parabolic resistance at 132.67, EMA at 132.60, and 38.2 fibo at 132.50. Lower BB support at 131.45, 61.8 fibo at 131.28, romer at 130.97.

H4:

ROMAR – Resistance
EMA - Resistance
Parabolic – resistance (invalidated d/t white cross purple)

Checklist:
Last DB Attachment – Bottom at 131.649
Last SAR Attachment – Top at 132.363
Fibonacci – Green

Notes: Parabolic resistance at 38.2 fibo at 132.34. Romer resistance at 132.48. Market currently between 0.0 and 23.6 fibo. Next support at 0.0 fibo at 131.65.

H2:
ROMAR - Resistance
EMA - support
Parabolic – support (invalidated d/t white cross purple)

Checklist:
Last MACD 0 Crossing - up
Last EMA Alert Arrow - down
Last DB Attachment – down at 131.649
Last SAR Attachment – down at 132.363
Fibonacci – Green

Notes: purple cross white for downtrend with opening below smooth. Down EMA arrow. MACD up but decreasing. 38.2 fibo resistance at 132.354. Romer resistance at 132.44. Upper BB at 132.64. Support with 0.0 fibo at 131.65. Lower BB support at 131.56.

H1:

ROMAR - Resistance
EMA - Resistance
Parabolic - resistance

Notes: Romer resistance at 132.34. Parabolic resistance at 132.32. Support at 131.86 (23.6 fibo) and 131.65 (0.0 fibo). Lower BB support at 131.56

Notes:
Market in consolidation so can trade both ways. On H2 white crossed purple with an opening below smooth. Four horsemen appear horizontal, transitioning from an uptrend. Fibo green, at bottom of trading zone, and MACD is positive. However there’s a recent down EMA arrow, and romer is resistance, so would prefer a short.

Entry:
Entered short at 131.994 on open candle below smooth. There seems to be a confluence of resistance at 132.34 from H4 parabolic, H2 38.2, and H1 romer and parabolic. Hopefully this protects my stop loss. The TP is right at the H1 and H1 lower Bollinger band. There’s a red EUR news event at 0600, so will exit prior to that.
Evaluation: +5 pips, as I went out 10 minutes before the 0600 Eur CPI.
First of all it was a little late last night and I didn't save a picture of the moment I went in. I thought I did but I can't find it. It was at the 0400 timepoint- you can see it on the current H2. Will try again later today.

I understand.

An unrelated question if I may. For the LFH trading simulator that you attached earlier in the thread, is there any way to use it with the H2 chart? I know it was previously mentioned to use with the H1 chart, which I'm assuming is bc the period converter doesn't work with the ea? Thanks again.

The rule states you create and post a trading plan. Once entry is made you must post the full H2 entry chart. Once the trade is completed then you post a self-evaluation. There is no options for this rule or any other rule.

Notes: Purple in slider with white for up. Up EMA arrow. MACD up. Fibo green. Market near 38.2 fibo resistance at 132.14 Romer resistance at 132.32. Upper BB at 132.39. Support with 0.0 fibo at 131.65. Lower BB support at 131.70.

Notes:
Market in consolidation so can trade both ways. I’m not seeing a strong support confluence, however there seems to be a resistance confluence around 132.40 on the D1, H4, H2, and H1. A long at this point might find difficulty getting to 40 pips. The daily seems to be pointing to a lower low with the SAR/DB. H2 currently in a slider upwards- hopefully it’ll take it upwards a bit closer to the resistance confluence, from where I plan on making a short. Upcoming news might help get to short target area.

Entry:
Planning short entry around 132.40 near resistance confluence. Will wait for after Draghi speech.

edit: went in short at 132.41 after speech. Other high impact news in 2 hours- will plan to exit trade then re-enter if trade still going.

I've tried finding out this sort of thing before on my own bat out of curiosity....but without success - in trying to find live feed media videoing/streaming or other such things. I have seen journalistic interpretations of them after the events but not the actual event being broadcast.

May i ask if anyone knows how much expected time it takes for Red news events such as "ECB President Draghi Speaks" or "Fed Chair Yellen Speaks" to go on for? Half an hour? 2 hours? 3 Hours?

They're not just delivering a statistic for the most part; so I'm reasonably confident they don't talk for 2 minutes & then walk away off the podium.
Any idea anyone?
If you make up your own rules then the story is sad.....

For those who are interested in using the simulator I will upload it on this post. I got this simulator from a trader here on the FF back in late 2007 and it works very well and is used on the Strategy Tester of your platform. Instruction: Open up the zip and copy, paste the LFH_Trading_Simulator_3 in to your Expert Adviser folder. Close and reboot your MT4. You now must create a template for the simulator. You do this by taking the H1 chart and rename it Simulator or Offline and save into your template folder. Now you need a new profile but before...
Hello traders.
Dana thank you for all you are doing !
Iam a back burner here, can someone be kind enough to enlighten me on how Simulator works, anyone apart from Dana, Shinny and Honde, there already have their plates full. Love and Light to you all
