SL Hit.
Unfortunately target was not reached before the unexpected news came.
Was too early in the trade before ROMAR cross EMA.

Also I see my error in taking the snapshot before setting SL and TP.

Hi Hugo,
I was hoping you would expand upon your evaluation more than just saying... Was too early in the trade before ROMAR cross EMA.
What else did you take your eagle eye off?

Unfortunately is a descriptive emotion word. In my own trading world, I do my very best to not be emotional as it derails the truth that I am trying to avoid disclosing to myself or to others. Emotions hinder truth. For the next 2 weeks, try evaluating without any emotional words. Just facts. See how you go, if it helps then great, if not, you've tried something new and no harm done.

For a long time now, traders are not being professional in:-
1). Posting their plan 1st. Include their proposed entry in advance before the moment arrives along with the rule for the scenario.
2) Posting the entry chart after the plan has fulfilled the criteria of the Plan's entry
3). Posting the evaluation.
If you make up your own rules then the story is sad.....

{quote} The rules is you post your trading plan FIRST. And you post it at the beginning of the session you are trading. When you pull the trigger you create a screen shot of the entry with your H2 chart and post it immediately and not an hour later. Once the trade is completed you then post a self-evaluation. This means you have three postings on one trade. This trade above is not legitimate and means nothing when the rules are broken. We need to see your Trading Plan before the entry.
So there is no ambiguity. Almost everyone here says they study or have studied or read the thread 5 or 10 times etc etc, so this means we can all read and - sure we can probably all read, yet we need to read in order to comprehend what is written. Saying we have read something 5, 10, 50 times means nothing. Comprehension means we understand the message.

Does everyone understand the message.
Dana posts 4 lines and then he gets ignored by traders over and over. Let's at least try to follow through on 3 lines that he wrote for our own learning benefit.
If we have read the thread many many times, then we will have re-read that post however many times we have re-read the thread.
Anyone have an excuse they'd like to share?
Is there anything unclear in Dana's post that you'd like clarified? I am sincerely happy to help sincere traders and happy to attempt to clarify any of the above for you.
If you make up your own rules then the story is sad.....

Yes, cannot deny you're right in this point of posting the plan first at the start of the session.
I have never done it before.
Let's see where it leads.

Hi,

Sorry, I have a question. #8325 has the following:

c: White crossing Purple on any chart places the whole system in consolidation and setting up for a reversal, a swing for a new cycle, ranging, or sideways consolidation

However # 10125 has this:

White crossing Purple does not eliminates the TREND nor puts the market in consolidation. All it does is eliminate the power of the Parabolic in consolidation.


I find the two quotes above to be contradictory which, of course, may to be due to a shortage of brain cells on my part. If anyone could authoritatively confirm whether W x P does one or the other, I should be much obliged.

May I take this opportunity to thank the founder of this thread for his herculean efforts to help people like me.

ATB,

Maas

I'll give it a go.
The market is fluid.
When white crosses purple on any chart it is the first sign that the momentum for the direction the market is travelling in is slowing. It's a flag or a warning sign.
If a market stops trending it is by definition consolidating, hence 8325.

It may be setting up for a reversal, a swing etc. or it may be just taking a breather before it gets back into the original trend in which case the temporary consolidation ceases and the market once again trends, hence 10125.

In other words W x P doesn't mean the market is definitely going to turn around but it may do so, time will tell, so you start looking for other clues.

Understanding the Paradox gives traders a huge edge but its use requires interpretation.
It is a system of complexities and nuances.

Use it to take the entries that are consistent with the market direction on the higher time frames.

For what its worth, I agree with Downunder.
Those two posts used to drive my mind completely bonkers. Insanity.
A bit like the Trinity for some people I guess...

The 1st post you quote Maas; is talking about when consolidation occurs in general.
The 2nd post concerns itself with Trend, and when the Parabolic power is eliminated during the scenario that post is discussing.
Focusing in on just Purple/White is not taking a step back and seeing the bigger picture...that would be more of an analytical focus...analytical processes have been the bane of my existence here. Try letting it go before it destroys your heart.

There are as Downunder mentions nuances. I call them distinctions.
A bit like the following unrelated observation....saying yes, i see there is colour in white torch light, when we break the light down, we can see those distinctions of all the colours of the rainbow within that white light. Each colour within the white, you'll find further distinctions. However by focusing in on all the separate parts of the rainbow, we may miss the beauty of white light. A hard concept to teach, hence Shinny's quote at the bottom of his posts...but it is not at all impossible for mortal people like you and I to work through 1 step at a time & with patience. White light is still white light.

So if we shift our focus, we can see the actual picture. Really hard to describe or teach. A bit like Morpheus' one liner from that movie, "Do you think that is air you are breathing"? Or, for one of our fellow traders here who was there, when they saw their Father being attacked by 4 people simultaneously out on the streets & the Father came out relatively unscathed & was unmoved by the whole scenario that panned out. Being fully aware is of paramount importance, a focusing on 1 or 2 instead of the whole, would have no doubt ended in a much different scenario. Same same with White cross Purple & the posts you've quoted.
Focusing on two things to the exclusion of the whole drove me nuts. Look at the whole.
Patience. Dedication. Training over and over. Rinse, repeat.
If you make up your own rules then the story is sad.....

Very simple. When white crossed purple they become both support and resistance. Let say you have Romar EMA as resistance then white crossed purple, now you have Romar EMA Psar resistance and white purple as support? Now we are in consolidation. And its true that it doesnt eliminate the trend because you have Your major chart trend which is ROMAR and your secondary chart trend which is EMA. Now all you need is study from page 1 or you will never make it to one of the 5 percenters.
To reach that level of determination is a matter of the will.

It's very quiet here for a while, but we're all still here.

Take care everyone during these times. No need to fret - Ignore the he said she said stuff. Just follow the rules they are giving and that will bring about the best possibility for all. Longterm thinking for Longterm outcomes.

In case anyone's wondering, the system here is unchanged and naturally still working.
No thinking, just entered. TP hit very quickly this session.
Could it be Luck? Skill? Or a just a good education?

Once again - wash your hands. Keep your hands away from your face whilst out and about. Minimise contact. Wash your hands. Easy.
A 3 year old can do it.... So if you can't stop putting your hands on your face - be a 2 year old and wear mittens to remind yourself of where your hands should not be. Problem solved.

& don't tell me you're bored - there's heaps of stuff that can be done.

Someone did 40 days and 40 nights once - all apparently without 1 complaint being said. So chin up and buckle down with some more study.

It is different times compared to last and my wishes are that you and yours stay well, and if not and anyone is not doing so well on the physical level, at least well connected with your loved ones.

Great to hear that Oli. We are so blessed even in this lockdown that we can still make money. People now are losing their jobs and loved ones and we are so blessed to have this great system in our arsenal to provide for our family and to give glory to Jesus. Im thankful for this gift that God has bestowed upon us and Dana was the one used by God. Thank you everyone. Hope our mentor is doing great he is already in his old age and I pray he get to be a 100 years and strong.

It is also good to be able to help some others as well during this time. Plagues do not come in an indiscriminate manner to everyone's back door very often.

Instead of the use of the word arsenal I would probably prefer to use the word tool. But yes, I feel I know where you are coming from - and it is a great privilege to be at the right place at the right time.

"I'm thankful for this gift that God has bestowed upon us and Dana was the one used by God."
Yes, and I am quite sorry to have caused Dana so much grief in my time as a beginner in making things look much more difficult than was necessary - being chosen does not mean students will necessarily listen attentively and then to also do exactly what is asked of them. We do get to where we need to be in the end when we persist with our studies despite the many knocks we experience along our journey... rejection is just feedback, learning from our fail - the market is not deliberately being personally offensive to anyone, it treats everyone the same without discrimination. Which at a basic level, allows for a level playing field.
I do pray for both Dana and his ministry and hope too that he may remain in good health so as he may continue to provide timely and effective council to those couples in need.
