The reason why you traders were late is because all was needed was a 2 hour bar get just below the Divergences connection and stop to bring out the Hidden, leaving you short of your TP.. You traders did not see the trend and fortunately the trend was there and you both got your TP. In other words - the trade was off resistance giving you an extra 20+ pips before the entry. As I have said time and time again. Trade off support and trade off resistance - never from center. If you wait then it will cost you in the long run.

Hi Dove,
I try to not ask a lot of questions but spend time to study as much as I can. I do have one question if I may ask for confirmation. One thing that I see happen a lot is when you can see the big banks start taking control and moving the market. Many times the move happens between 7-9 pm New York time which is 8-10 am Japan time and it most often happens within 15 minutes of a new candle. What I have started to notice is that you can almost feel the move right before it happens and then it can move like lightning. My question is do you wait for the institutional traders to start their game to take the trade off support or resistance. You can really tell when it's about to happen. Kinda like a fish biting your line and you see the float starting to pulse up and down. I hope this isn't a stupid question and that it hasn't been answered before. The paradox points the way and then you wait for the big fish on the line so to speak. I personally can almost "feel the moment" if you will and then all I gotta do is make sure there is room for the trade to s/r. Seems to be quick take profits and not waiting in a dead market. Please let me know your thoughts or disregard.

Well Contra - The only thing I pay attention too is what the Paradox is saying. All this stuff with what the banks are doing, has nothing to do with the Paradox. Whatever the Paradox is saying is what the market is doing. And for me that is all that matters. So I can't help you with what you might be seeing.

Sounds like scalping in hopes of getting something. These days, and for a long time, the banks haven't been trading as they use to trade.

Thanks very much for answering my question. Your right it does sound like scalping. I will try to ignore it and pay attention only to the paradox. These moves always respect the paradox and stop dead on S/R so I thought I would ask to see if I was going down a rabbit trail. Cheers

Fibo is positioned for the UP on all charts. There is no Red news forecast.

The H2 is my trading chart. 23.6 and 61.8 are heavy support/resistance on all charts. Trade only one way during this trend until one of the charts allows for trading both ways.

Projected Entry: Trade off resistance back into trend.

{quote} Market hit resistance at EMA on H2. Entered short with open bar beneath Smooth (also Purple which is in a slider with White){image} on H2. Also just noticed disconnect on Daily with DB and SAR - they will need to connect at a lower low.
Delayed assessment due to TP hit overnight for me, followed by early start this morning before getting to my computer.
Assessment: Won trade.
Plan seemed OK
Entry late. Waiting for confirmation is not part of the Paradox.
EMA hit was resistance and entry should have been off the next open bar.
Waiting put profit at risk as 0.0 fib was very close, and it wouldn't have taken much to bring out the Hidden Divergence which could have been followed by a turn up.

Thank you Dove, I realize now that in waiting I was putting the trade at greater risk and the evidence to go short earlier was there.
I will go back and do some more reading.

hi guys, i have this flow of thought regarding trading DB/SAR in ranging and i was hoping to understand if how i'm getting it if it's truth,i will reference the daily for my scenario
we have on the first daily chart has the hidden attached bottom and db attached on top(how the ranging started),then goes lower db attaching with standard divergence and making a lower low,

now currently the breakout happens,and how it happened is as it started,with hidden divergence and standard and DB/SAR attached together and moving together,so we had SAR on the next daily chart attached below with DB at the bottom [120.194]so that what happened next is SAR breaking out and attaching at PSAR, for the entry now back to the daily trend which was now a full blown down

If you had studied you would had gotten it right a long time ago. The Daily works exactly the same as the trading charts. I had spent a lot of time working with you traders on Divergences. 90% of the time it is the Parabolic hit with the SAR for entry to bring out the Hidden Divergence. The other 10% is with the EMA hit depending how close the Parabolic is within range of EMA. This is one reason why the H2 is your trading chart. Both the Daily and the H2 pretty much work together.

In ranging you always use support and resistance for entry. If you wait - you will lose. Especially if the ranging marks are less than 60 pips. And you never counter-trade the Parabolic while trending between the high and low of the Fibo.

The High and low of the Fibo is your substance on the H2. Once the High or Low is established then you have a 90% waiting period for the turn. And that can be many hours into days before the turn while going sideways. This is when you have the DB, SAR, Standard Divergence, Hidden Divergence all together and showing on the SAME BAR. From that point your trading is over until the turn has been established on the H2.

Waiting for an entry AFTER support or resistance is hit - in my books - is a losing trade. You are then trading from center. You need to learn how to read support and resistance. Especially with the Daily and the H2 charts.

You have all the tools with the Paradox to become one of the best. All you need to do is learn how to use them.

One other thing: If the Hidden Divergence is on the bottom then the trend is down. If the Hidden Divergence is on top then the trend is up. If the Standard Divergence on both top and bottom then the market is ranging. The Ranging can be either sideways, or uptrend, or downtrend. And the SAR is the most powerful indicator in the world. It will take you where you need to be. Provided you never, ever counter-trade the trend. Only in ranging are you allow to counter-trade.

A question: How is ranging established?

The first element is ROMAR: If ROMAR is out of balance on the H2 with the H4 and/or the Daily and not sync - then your ARE in the ranging mode. If you noticed - I did not mention the H1 chart. The H1 is used for reference with support and resistance ONLY for sync with the H2. The H1 is not; and I repeat - is not a trading chart.

The second element is the Db/SAR running with one another with the DB showing.

I had to look up this HTF and algorithms to what you was referring too; and here is what I found:

High frequency trading (or HFT) is a form of advanced trading platform that processes a high numbers of trades very quickly using powerful computing technology. It can be used to either find the best price for a single large order, or to find opportunities for profit in the market in real time. The algorithms behind high frequency trading tend to be extremely complex, allowing the program to trade across several markets at once as conditions are met. The advantage of HFT is largely down to how quickly the platform can process trades, so the focus is on the power of computers used and location of computing programs. By placing themselves nearby to the exchanges taking orders, HFT firms can gain millisecond advantages over their rivals.

Algorithmic trading is a method of executing orders using automated pre-programmed trading instructions accounting for variables such as time, price, and volume to send small slices of the order out to the market over time.

Apparently the banks have been using this method for a long time; and what is amazing is the Paradox continues in reading the market before it even happens. My internet speed is 117 mega bites per second at 5G. I am sure after reading what the banks are using are a lot faster than mine. And still - the Paradox takes me in and out of trades perfectly without any errors. This means the banks can never overcome Support and Resistance with any platform they processes. It is the same in the market for ALL TRADERS around the world with Forex.

Yes Carlos - I am doing good and happy to know you are doing good also. Take care.
