{quote} Hi Manin, While you seem to already know this, I thought it might help if I clarified for others. {quote} Hi VirgilCain MT4 charts will display daily and 4-hour candles differently depending on the server time. That's because daily charts (and 4-hours charts) begin at midnight server time. For example, FXCM's MT4 servers are divided into those set to GMT, and those set to GMT+2/3. While our EUR and GBP denominated servers are set to GMT, our USD and AUD servers are set to GMT+2 currently (they were set to GMT+3 when the US was on Daylight...
Thank you Jason -- much appreciated for your posting.

{quote} I'm also gmt +2/3 and have noticed my charts not lining up with others. Why does the system need 6 weekly candles. I would think 5 24 hour full candles would be more accurate but have no idea.
Clip - you are having problems because you are not understanding that the system is built upon Friday 17:00 closing and Sundays 17:00 opening (New York Time Zone). This system is by no means standard and you need to think outside the box.

Ok thanks. I will look for an alternative broker with the time set to GMT.

I just wanted to say a big thanks to Dove for posting this system on forex factory. This weekend I used an mt4 trading simulator and load all of the paradox charts and hit start because the market was closed and I could not learn. By speeding up the charts to 5 to 10 times it allowed me to "get it". I have been studying this system extremely hard for almost three months sometimes up to 12-14 hours a day and there were my eureka moments but still had many questions. I know I have a ways to go but for the first time I fully understand the heart of the system and it is a total look into the future. I predicted the market anywhere from 80 to 100% many times and with no doubts in my mind about the direction what so ever with very recent quality market tick data. I know I must fine tune it but thanks Dove again for this and I'm so glad I didn't give up. I've had so many terrible headaches from trying to get this. God bless you and my apologies for any posts that have come from my inflated ego and it was not until I gave it all up that I was able to learn. I took so many notes and reread so much stuff. I hope some will get it easier than I because it's been the hardest thing to ever learn and looking back its incredible simple but you have to see it. Here's a hint to those not getting it and you should have already read. You must see all the charts at once in that very moment. If you focus on one chart or the other this system will have no power. Your trading plan will help you get your mind in the right frame and try to see your whole plan as one thing and not individual. It's like a painting. If you look to close you cant see the overall picture. Step back and see the whole thing. Look especially at how the indicators are interacting with each all together on the time frames. . Man this system is incredible and I'm sorry for ranting.

Congratulations Clip on seeing the big picture. I am struggling desperately and nearly given up. I am doing too much guessing and so I know I'm not seeing what I'm supposed to be seeing. But it hasn't been 6 months yet.

I do not want to mislead people into taking shortcuts. If you can get a simulator to work with multiple time frames so that you can test on weekends great. Everything has been posted on this forum to learn the system. I cannot offer any assistance to using a simulator as this is not my thread and belongs to another. It worked for me but if you have not studied hard then this tool might be a hindrance.

It is so hard for a newbie to Forex. There are soooo many strategies and opinions and indicators...here I am right at the beginning and I come into the Paradox. It is the strategy I know more than any other, and yet I am so tempted to look at other systems. I think, am I doing the right thing by putting all my time and effort into this strategy? You see, I dont have the experience to judge what I'm looking at in terms of forex strategies because I am new. I feel that is a blessing, because it is all I know, and all I want to know, but still sometimes I doubt myself. Could I really have found the best system to use for the rest of my life and hopefully career, right out of the box? When I read Dove's posts, I believe I have. So either I am very blessed to have started right here with this system, or I am wrong, and this is just another strategy, but I don't believe that. I believe I am blessed. I suppose I am just looking for a little reassurance by some more experienced traders.

By the way, I do feel like I am starting to understand the basics. Thanks Dove.

Yes, that's what you should feel, this blessing. I also feel it. But you should give yourself time and you will realize that you are in the right place.

Just wanted to share my trade from today: Entered long on the yellow arrow candle on H1. H2 was in uptrend all along with a horsemen slider above EMA. We had a 6.00 GMT open candle above the slider with Purple sliding above Smooth for continuance of the uptrend. Green EMA arrow was already set in stone and the MACD up arrow appeared. On H1 there was a tight slider with Purple just below Smooth and EMA, but with an open candle above the slider. With the continuance of the uptrend on H2 and the strong uptrend on Daily I was looking for an entry point on H1. The next open candle was above Purple which now slid above Smooth and EMA, also the PSAR flipped, Green EMA arrow set in stone and when the market got up the MACD up arrow appeared also.

Have faith in this system and remember it takes a lot of time to learn it properly.

Thank you. Dove has already stated the answer on page 29 post 574. I am not experienced with the paradox but just getting it now. All the indicators and how they react with each other on especially the Daily and H2 together give you the future. It's really cool to see especially all the different slider combinations and how they hold the market and then you know which way market is heading but there's so much more for me to learn and other members will be much more experienced to help right now. Here's a history shot of a nice slider. Ema sliding under Purple, White, and Smooth along with Smooth sliding under white to hold it. Market opens at parabolic, Sar attaches at Romar and probably was on a Fib level at the time along with Ema green arrow and macd. See the confluence of everything. Providing Daily chart agreed I woulda put a few extra Benjamins on that one where I drew blue arrow. Mighta even had enough balls to pull the trigger at Sar attached but purple had crossed white. I bet Dove caught that one on Oct 27 but I don't know what was happening on Daily so who knows.

I know I'm ranting on here but I'm finding that the more I try to help people, the more I'm learning so it's actual quite selfish and soon I hope to be off
making my money but while I'm learning I figured I would try and help people visualize what I'm learning. This is how I'm beginning to see the paradox
system and I hope it helps you guys. Dove feel free to ask me to delete my post if misleading in any way.

Ok, I see it like the military rank.
Romar is the Major General and calls the shots
Parabolic is like the Executive Committee of the Army Board and oversees everything
Ema is the Colonel and takes order from the Major General and Army Board
Smooth is the captain and he thinks he's in charge but Colonel and General have got him by the tail
White is the sergeant and he's just glad to be promoted and when he barks a command it better be in agreement with his officers or the corporals will be all over the place
Purple is your front line private first class and privates. These guys are truly getting all the action and they celebrate the victories and mourn the casualtiess
Each rank can hold the lesser to obey it's command.
For example ema can hold smooth, white, and purple but white cannot hold Romar although it sometimes might appear that it is.
Romar holding ema in a slider or beneath/above is very strong but Romar can also hold all the rest in a slider as well and the lesser rank that it holds the less overall power
When they are all lined up in perfect rank thats a very powerful set up
Now that's for the sliders

For the crosses it's kinda the same but opposite
The privates get slaughtered at the crosses first and then the rest of the ranks begin to join them. How far it goes up depends on your enemies power
When Romar crosses ema this a full surrender and your army has now been taken over and you are sitting in a cold POW camp.
Luckily the enemy has a new recruitment program that allows you join and train under new command with the new army and it starts all over again.
About support and resistance imagine this.
All the privates have snuck out of camp and are having a great party when bang they run right into the major general. What do you think they will
do. They take off running in the opposite way. They have a few drinks now and then with the captian but he's also telling them when to call it a night.
I see the divergence lines and swing lines as kinda of my arial team and secret intelligence. Battle is going well and they ensure it by dropping a couple
of bombs or sending a morse code message to warn me of an ambush. I let the arial team take over and usually stand back until they are gone and sometimes I
join the onslaught if I've been standing around too long or the enemy is moving to take over a stronghold and we need to push em back during a very
even power struggle(consolidation).
Well guess what. I have good news. Your not even in this battle. Here's my question. Now that you can see everything from a birds eye view with the ranking officers
and military team can you make an objective decision? God bless you all and let's beat the markets together.

P.S. Any telegrams from experienced overwatchers will be accepted with priority.

Hi virgilcain. I was thinking about getting into that trade long as it retraced to white but here's what stopped me. It is now close to 2 pm est time and close to the rollover period which could bring on swap fees. I'm not sure if it's positive or negative interest right now but I also notice that the H1 is flat lining into consolidaton and that makes me want to the retracement to go deeper on the H2 before I enter and on the Daily we are at the top of the swing high with divergence and Magenta with only 18 pips. All three fibs have flipped down as well and if I'm gonna go long it will be after a retracement and rejection of support with at least 30 pips to the swing high. This could very well go a lot higher yet but I'm nervous about it. Maybe will be a trade in Asian session. You didn't want me to talk in army terms did you lol.

Edit:
Sergeant is telling the privates what to do on H1. They are listening right now. We will see lol.
