Here's a quick run-through of the trade I just did a few hours ago. 40 take profit was hit, winning trade! (on EURJPY) Please tell me if my thought process on this trade was wrong, right, did I enter too late, did I enter too early. Did I apply divergence, DB/SAR correctly? Did I apply the other concepts correctly? I would love feedback. {image} {image}
Crupent - it is pretty hard to give an evaluation without a trading plan for one; and then the entry H2 chart showing the entry. All you had posted is after the fact. So in the future post your plan first, entry next, and then your self evaluation. This way we can evaluate the plan before the trade and visualize your thoughts before pulling the trigger. Thank you and God bless.

I've been reading this thread on my free time since I found it a week ago, and I'm totally blown away. I think I'm a little ways out from posting my first trading plan, but it's coming. No reason to read any other thread on FF...this is where I'll be. Thank you Dove.
Welcome Startearning and take your time before posting trading plans.

I definitely will! I'm sorry dove for not posting my trading plan before. I'll do this from now on.

Thank you for everything you have done for me. I can feel my life changing with this amazing system you have discovered. God bless you. What a generous soul you have.

Ive been reading this thread for 3-4 weeks now (finished one time and started re-reading ) and I wanted to post my first trading plan today... but somehow lost my confidence..

After seen crupent's winning trade I must ask.... if some hours ago the ROMAR on the daily,2H and 1H is support ( meaning i believe that we are in an uptrend ) do we even looking at a short trade ??

Im asking because the dove did not comment on that at all, so it looks like I missed something very basic....

10% trending time - only WITH the trend
80% consolidation time - SHORT and LONG
10% news - NO TRADING


Thanks
please answer only if you are 100% SURE so we dont start a meaningless discussion... ( or else lets wait for the dove or shinny to answer)

Hello Pipon

As soon as White/Purple cross you are either looking at consolidation or a slider. If for example, ROMAR is support on all charts, you don't ever want to go short UNLESS you get the 2hr PSAR flipping, or you know 100% that it will flip on the following bar, because you could just be running into a slider.

Hope that helps.

Shaun

Also, the PSAR flipped on the 1H, and white/purple crossed on the 2H, so parabolic was eliminated. I also knew that the next step would have been ema crossing purple, but that's because I've been trading and studying this system for a while, so I can see these things more easily without even projecting on the screen yet.

Don't lose your confidence. This system takes a very long time to understand. Minimum 6 months of studying is required. Patience is everything with this system. Stay persistent, just like with anything else in life.

Thanks for the help !
I guess that the hard part in trading the Paradox is understanding which are the most important out of the many indications we see...

As if we look at the indicators (Romar , ema, the 4 horsemen ,parabolic and MACD ) on all 3 charts, in any given point, there are some that will "say" BUY while others will "say" SELL...


My take on things was that ROMAR and EMA are the bosses , so I will just read some more and post my plans next week.

Thanks

If you go to the top of the page you can find a download page that has a Word and PDF doc that summarises posts from early last year. But if you wont to find more about a topic then do a search on the forum for the sentence you find. Then the original post will come up and you can get all the interaction on the forum on the topic.

That's why it's important to always make a trading plan because you'll see things that you wouldn't see. It will help a lot

Hey everyone! I was looking last night for a trade for eurjpy, and I was waiting for the ema to cross under purple to confirm the currency is going to go long, but I fell asleep and woke up too late when the move happened. But I decided to share my trading plan that I had set up and my thought process was correct about when I should have pulled the trigger. So I thought people can benefit off this, just to see my way of thinking.

If you look at my trading plan, the boxes that are yellow are the one's I was waiting for to match with the 1H.

Any thoughts, or anything to add to my trading plan? Please let me know

Your plan is a little brief and lacks detail but what you have looks correct. Don't forget that ROMAR H2 was resistance and less than 20 pips above the market on the PSAR flip in H2. ROMAR may have caused a different outcome from what happened today.

Yea, I noticed that, but I also saw purple and white cross on the upside on the daily, so I suspected it would break the ROMAR.

I was looking at the same trade, but the 2H ROMAR is the main one according to the DOVE, so I didnt trade it even on the demo account , and it was not on my trading plan to trade long when the 2H ROMAR is so close and still act as resistance....

Shaun , can you please comment on that trade ?

Hello

That is a trade long I would take, if you mean the 14:00 bar close above ROMAR.

The reason is EMA is support and as the EMA and ROMAR are so close together you can also use ROMAR as Support, as well as Resistance. Also, your trading the turn back into the Daily Trend. Also, that bar went down and tagged the EMA, which is something I always like to see when your trading the turn UP. Confluence.

Hope that helps!

Here is the problem Traders: You want comments on scenarios in which we cannot give because 1 - there are no trading plans and 2 - every scenario is different. Everyone is looking for short cuts in trying to beat this system as quickly as possible; and that is not going to happen. For those who are trading live accounts are fools because this process is a minimal of 6 months in learning. For those who are posting trading plans have no courage in following through with their plans. So how can we help if you do not help yourself? Looking for short cuts is a gesture of fear; or a gesture of greed. You have 3 weapons with this system: Divergence, the SAR, and the DB; and I do not see anyone learning in how to use them. If you want us to help you then begin the right way by applying the rules with trading plans; and following through with your plans accordingly with the rules. Only then are we able to help you.

I spent the last 2 days studying hard and ramming DB and SAR, and I think I finally understand it. Once I find a good position, I'll post my trade and trading plan.

First you post your trading plan and then the entry with the H2 chart showing the entry. Not vice-versa.
