{quote} Entry: Short, 10:00 open candle. Rule / confluence : I know the entry its sort of out of nowhere, but the H2 Parabolic just flip for the down. The candle opened near H1 PURPLE and right under H2 FIBO 23.6 + DB has not reconnected with SAR yet. {image}
Result: +40 TP hit
Self-evalution:
The market is in a downtrend. H1 and H2 was in sync for the downtrend as soon as H2 Parabolic flipped for the down. When SAR connected bottom without DB, I just knew DB had to join SAR because of the downtrend, and also EMA PURPLE crossed for the down on the entry candle. Notice when I made the entry, standard Divergence was not bottom - so the market was not going to retrace toward EMA resistance and come back down to bring out the hidden Divergence yet.
Thank you Master, Paradox for the win!

It worked. I'm on the demo 106 now. I Will wait until we out of this trend and in consolidation to post a plan. I find the trends a little more intimidating.

Notes:
Everything pointing for a downtrend. Notice Daily imbalance of +100 pip from OPEN to PURPLE. Green price tag also bottom.

1 HR:
ROMAR - Resistance
EMA - Resistance/Support
PSAR - Support
Fibo - UP
Notes:
EMA PURPLE just crossed for up, upper BB is in FIBO.

Final Notes for all four charts:
Currently in downtrend consolidation. On H2 SAR attach top near Parabolic at 23.6 FIBO, also notice Daily market is imbalance by +100.

Entry: Long
Rule / Confluence:
The market looks like it wants to balance itself, because H1 EMA PURPLE cross to target ROMAR/UPPER BB, and H2 SMOOTH PURPLE cross for ups + Green Price tag bot with FIBO 0 on every chart. I know this could be silly because Master stated many time to never trade against the trend... but if I remember correctly I read something about trading against the trend because the market wants to re-balance itself. ( I could be wrong don't take my word for it )

Result : got a few + pips, but that was not the goal.
Self-evaluation:
Close the trade 5 minutes before the news. In this trade I was looking for the market to re-balance with the Daily PURPLE, and the when I entered the market barely moved. I believe the right entry was on the 6:00 candle - we had WHITE PURPLE cross for the consolidation, the candle opened above/at SMOOTH, every chart had the green price tag bottom + Daily imbalance 100 pips.
Overall bad trade... I was probably late to the re-balancing move back up, or going long was never an option. I am not sure, can Master or any Elite comment on this scenario please?

Hey Romar,
At the risk of getting in to a trade too early I thought the Candle opening at/above smooth had potential for 40 pips despite other factors at play. e.g. PSAR had not flipped yet, but SAR had anchored so that was a positive for upward movement. I cant see it clear enough from the displayed chart but it looked like the 40 pips made it, before that retracement down


Killerxovers chart and notes show a better entry is developing and also what can happen with that retracement down but we now appear to have a better chance of getting into a long trade.

It's way past bedtime here so good luck with today's trading.

Like you guys am just learning and added my comments, which I hope are correct.

Goodnite

Evaluation:
I don't really know where I went wrong. H2 is trend chart and on my entry, market was in consolidating up with PSAR flip for up. 4 horsemen was up. Candle open above Smooth. I thought it would be good to go, but later EMA just slide over smooth and I did't see that coming. All I can say is that big picture was saying H4 and Daily trend were down.
I hope that I could get advice from senior and Dove.

Hi Romar n Killerxover.
My comments last nite were made from looking at Killerxovers chart---using my small laptop--a no no---anyway today I looked at all 4 charts and offer the following for your review---But I am not Senior nor Dove, so it's objective is to offer each of you some part of the rules laid out for us and comment, to see if we can learn more.

1--! Hr Chart--At 06:00 time--P.W and S had crossed and the Bar closed over the EMA with the appropriate Trend alert--so the next bars open at 07:00 (Price 127.92) seemed a good entry---followed by Smooth crossing EMA about 10:00/11:00, which later closed at 12:00,-- price 128.425 (50 Pip Range)

2--2 Hr Chart--I cant see Sync. happening with 1 Hr---EMA is under Romar--(as is the 1 Hr chart, 4 Hr and Daily) That seems to me to be an important part of observing the big picture Dove talks about--and Killerxover saw that.

So was the upmove from 08:00 2 Hr chart a good entry?? according to the rules.
Was the downmove from 22:00 2 Hr chart at 23.6 Fib (app. price 127.85 a good entry?? according to the rules.

The 4Hr and Daily confirm DOWN move---look forward to some comments.

The h4 ema had the power with the sar connection bellow psar and you will see clues of the continuation down on the h4 with purple barely able to cross smooth and in this situation, even though purple was to cross ema on h2, you should have been mindful of an ema slider situation with the h4 and h1 chart confirming, the underlying trend was still down.

{quote} Study the SAR/ Hidden Divergence in what happened yesterday.
HI Retrogue, thanks for your advice. I read on Dove's explanation about Divergence at page 203. I think now I know why that the market didn't go up.
Just want to make sure, is it true that hidden divergence was attached at bottom (127.486) with DB/SAR and the gold divergence had not showed yet? And because of gold divergence didn't show, white/smooth crossing purple for up wasn't a signal of reversal but only a retracement back for several candles and then will continue back down to show the gold divergence?

Hi SuchParadox.
Yes, you are right. I went back and checked about Dove's saying about H4 chart.

Dove
I have been debating this decision for about a week in giving this 4 hour chart. The 4 hour chart is not a trading chart but will replace the Daily as for reference with support and resistance. The H4 is stripped down for reference only. The EMA signal, Arrows, and MACD is not on the H4.
The reason for debating is because some of you, if not all of you, would want to add indicators to the H4 and would be a bad mistake in doing so. If you use the H4 as you would the Daily then you have a great reference with ROMAR, EMA, and the Parabolic's between the H2 and H4; and the H4 could give you a good reference with entry with the H2 as for the DB/SAR being delayed on the H4 comparable with the H2.
My decision was based in helping those that are having difficulties in recognizing sliders. The H4 might be able to help. Another reason is because of the delay on the H4 as for support and resistance and could help you on entries with the delay..
On your trading plan you can add the H4 below the Daily and reference Support and Resistance on the H4 instead of the Daily. The H2 is still your Trading Chart and not the H4.


I think I should have waited at least smooth crosses purple for swing up in H4 as reference for taking entry in H2 chart. Thanks mate.

Open below EMA with the ROMAR trend in such situation is a dangerous thing to happen for not going long there. Rather I would say it was a signal for short if other confluence factors support...

Well, the last one is not on Friday rather it was taken on Thursday late night. I accidentally saw the setup and took the trade. And I take the Friday off.

One of the trade above is more than 40 pips. Actually it was targeted for 80 pips. Though it reached my target, I closed it manually for some reasons I forget.
