{quote} I've conducted myself in a proper manner Shaun, If you can pick out any part of my posts that contains attitude, I will gladly accept it, my intentions were and still are good, from starting out on this thread I have done as asked have I not, I see the work that Dove has put in, for free may I add and hole hearted, appreciate his sharing of it, like all who have commented, I don't quite understand how being here can be of anyone else's benefit but my own, your next comment will be, "I'm not getting into this but do us all a favour" and I...
Actually, you have not conducted yourself in a proper manner. Go back and read your posts and replies and tell me that is a proper way to conduct yourself, because you come across as very argumentative. Your very quick to play the victim, saying you had been "ridiculed" when in fact you just been told to do things properly. And where I said you act like your doing us a favour been here has just been proven again in this post that I'm quoting - its this threatening to flounce off/flouncing off that I mean by doing us all a favour by being here. Do you want us to say "please don't go, give us another chance to spend our time helping you".

The fact is you posted wrong charts and then asked Dana to overlook that you were using a Live Account - the rules don't apply to you obviously.

I have no idea what your problem is, in fact I am baffled by your attitude, you join FF and come on the thread picking fights, arguing that the rules don't apply to you and creating this bad feeling towards you.

The reason I called you mate was the reason I call anyone mate - to be friendly to them! Even that you have to make yourself out to be the victim.

I don't have the time or inclination to deal with brats, or to spend any more time massaging your fragile ego and sense of victimhood, so I will leave it at that and bid you adieu.

Cheers

Shaun

Final notes :
We are in consolidation, a swing down on 1H+2H+4H charts. and Daily uptrend.
I do not see a clear entry soon. while it looks like there is more room to the down side (2H ROMAR) it looks to risky to short now.
I will wait for a 1H and 2H sync hopefully joining the main Daily trend.

SELF REVIEW : +40 PIPS

Short entry when EMA cross. Next open below ema, I also find the SAR/DB and hidden devergen, it would go down, when consolidation, it's from top to bottom.
Now after , I'll keep watching the long entry around romar place. The divergence is ready to retrace, and fibo 61.8 is also support there.

Trade evaluation:
When i see D1 in strong uptrend without white cross purple, i only think of buying from support
When H2 DB shown with both div in consolidation, i thought it was the lowest point and confluence with H1 Romar
I saw that H2 EMA cross Purple, but i think D1 would kick my ass if i tried to against it
By learning every scenario from my journal, i will find my mistake and what rule i broke

Happy New Year Everyone!!! Good health and blessings to all!

Yes, I'm still here, been in the background studying, observing, learning. One's understanding of the Paradox never stops increasing of course. Like many of you I didn't place any trades over the last couple weeks, this for many reasons. But eager now to reengage and hopeful about progressing with all of you!

A special welcome back to Retrogue! I've appreciated and benefited from your past contributions and, believe me, I do understand how life can deal one a difficult hand. Your story is not so different than many others. I'm glad you're here.

Below is my first trade of the new year. It's not pretty. Yes, +40 but my entry was very misplaced. As you can see I entered at Opening. H2 & Daily had been in an uptrend but it was changing. DB on top of H2, H4 & Daily; also at opening PSAR flipped down, Purple was at EMA for crossing down and both candles were down (tho in wrong order they were only one bar apart and in confluence with other short signals). Obviously, in hindsight, and according to what we've learned, the entry was after the PB to Smooth. -Mark

Indeed, recognizing my lack of patience I reentered short at about the same location of your entry (not greed when it's demo).

Plan evaluation
I did not trade today. Not just because the setup I was waiting for did not happen, but also because my plan was not good enough.
The major problem with my plan was that I was bias for long.
I sat down and thought WHY was it that I was bias for the long, and I believe that the reason is that the in 2 of my last trading plans I did not consider the Daily chart as I should have (both Dove and shinny corrected me about it) so today I gave the daily chart too much power, and I shouldn't have.

Hard for me to know when the Daily has the power, and when it doesn't , so for now the Daily has the power in 2 cases :
1. imbalance with purple.
2. near ROMAR ( as support or resistance)

Comments are appreciated,
Pipon

Hello Pip

Always remember that the Daily chart is made up of 12 2hr bars, and 6 4hr bars. So even though the Daily chart is one bar a lot happens inside that one bar. Your first clue was when the 2hr turned over and retraced to the 23.6 fib as EMA/Purple crossed. There was 70 pips to ROMAR Support and around 29 pips to the last swing to trigger the divergence. Someone took that trade for +40.

Your next clue not to go long was the 4hr PSAR flipping with room to Support. The 4hr PSAR is very powerful. In Consolidation, when we have a Daily trend, I usually wait for the 4hr PSAR to flip but also then for the market to hit 4hr S/R, because quite often the flip is the end of the move - but critically the market must hit S/R. Most often the market will move sidewards so instead of just entering you can wait and let the market give you more certainty, for example you could use the 1hr/2hr PSAR flipping back in the direction of the Daily trend, or a close above/below Smooth, so long as you have at least 40 pips clearance to S/R.

I took a screenshot last week of EJ (I think) and it showed a perfect example of a market working a 2hr cycle. Its at my office so I will post it tomorrow.

Hope that helps mate.

OK Trader - When you posted your trading plan yesterday you had 4 charts posted showing a long entry with each chart showing a loss of 40. When I looked at your trading plan with the 4 charts showing a loss I could not understand what you was doing because you did not indicate an entry or a self-evaluation. Today you had changed those charts on your trading plan showing a deception with the wrong charts that do not match your entry. So in order to create this deception is with a hedge trade. In order to prove this; here is your h2 trading plan chart:

I have no idea if anyone else had seen what I did; and that was all 4 charts he posted with his trading plan had the trigger already pulled and showing a buy already in a losing mode. And then he changed those charts showing what they are now.
