Here is the big picture. There was three objectives that kept you from going long:

1 - The main objective was the Daily bar. It had to balance and because the bar had the power for the short - it will remain short even after being balanced.

2 - The SAR had attached on the bottom with the Parabolic at 122.128 but did not attached with the Parabolic on the top side of your entry - meaning the next attachment with both the SAR and DB will be on the bottom side - with the Fibo being short.

3 - EMA was in a slider with the Purple, White, Smooth for a swing down and the H2 ROMAR as the target..

The Daily was the chart in not seeing a long. The Daily is a one bar candle and will continue with the short even after being balanced. In other words - it will not stop after balancing but continue in the direction with the power of the bar.

A very instructive lesson Dana. Thank you as always. I too went long with my demo. However not without noticing the "power" in play on the daily moving counter to my trade, but in my ignorance I didn't understand it's significance and wrongly in this case placed more significance on the 2H and 3 chart ROMAR trend. And as for the 2H SAR, I was looking for an attachment on the top side which never came. Again, in my ignorance I didn't understand the significance of that. If when it failed to connect top side I had exited I would have made approximately 25pips. So, I now have much more to be aware of while observing my trade unfold in the moment. Very insightful.

Just one thing Dana about the point 2, I looked at the charts and mentally was making a trading plan (I think I'll start posting them this week), and I considered the SAR attachment to the top of a candle in the "other side" of the parabolic to give me the entry short in the next bar, but since it didn't attach I wouldn't have taken the entry, according to my plan.

Should I have considered the red moving line (pre-SAR attachment) as enough confirmation for the short as if it was the SAR itself? I understood from point 2 that we can do this when the fibo favors the direction of the trade, but I am not sure if you meant this or I'm confusing myself and others with these thoughts, sorry for the hassle and anyone who reads and might be confused please keep in mind I'm new to the system.

Regards.

The significance is Balance. The Daily was 3 bars out of balance before retracing towards Purple. The previous bar on the Daily was red and did not balance with Purple. Today's bar will finish up the balance. And because this is a 24 hour bar it will continue the short for Support which is Smooth; which is also the H2 ROMAR. Waiting for the entry was the high side of the H2 Parabolic for the short to finish up the balance. And again - because the Daily is a 24 hour bar it will continue south.

As for the SAR not attaching for the high side Parabolic is indicating that both DB/SAR will attached together for a continuance downtrend.

Kicking myself for not entering when my plan called for it. We had a pull back to resistance, though the H2 parabolic did flip. I should have entered on 8:00 GMT bar with confluence of H2 23.6 fib with EMA alert arrow down and hits on H1 upper BB. Would have been 37/38 pips before closing for the news release at 12:30 GMT. I guess the flip of the parabolic on H2 threw me off with the plan. Anyway should of could of etc

Edit: Just seen Dove's explanation about today's session, entry on the flip of H2 parabolic up again and Sar connecting with DB for the down because of situation on the daily bar. Another scenario example to add to my folder. Thanks Dove

Let's go through a check list in what each trader should use for every single trading plan.

Check list:

Balance
DB
SAR

BALANCE:
Balance is always a priority on the Daily. If the trend is up on the Daily and the market gets ABOVE Purple then you have up to 3 candles before a retrace, or sideways for balance. If the trend is down and gets BELOW Purple you have up to 4 bars before a retrace, or sideways to balance. This is also true on the H2 . With the H1 it could go more bars before retrace. So do not use the H1 as reference for Balance.

DB:
If DB attaches on the upside candle from an uptrend on the H2 - then be looking for the 4 Horsemen on a reversal. If DB attaches on the downside candle from a downtrend on the H2 - then be looking for the 4 Horsemen on a reversal.

SAR:
Pay a close attention in what I am saying here:

The SAR is an indicator the gives signals OPPOSITE of the DB.

Let's say the DB and SAR are both attached on the topside with the H2. The DB is telling you the trend is going down and will turn according with the H1 Horsemen. This is how you use the H1 as reference. Once the H1 Parabolic flips you can take a short trade for 40 and no more. The reason is because on the H2 the SAR will detached for ending this part of the trend. And let me make this very clear. The H1 DOES NOT HAVE THE DB AND SAR ON THAT CHART. If you have the DB/SAR on your H1 then delete them both. They do not belong on the H1 chart. Once you have made your entry off the H1 - then you no longer need the H1 for reference.

Once the SAR attaches on the H2 is letting you know the next attachment is on the upside with the Parabolic for entry back into the downtrend. And you wait on the SAR to attach with the Parabolic. Do not counter trade the trend.

Once the SAR is attached the trend is moving downward - both the DB and SAR will attached on the bottom for ending the trend. If you caught the SAR with the Parabolic then you will not see negative on your account after profit - even with the retraces.

If you get a hit on the Parabolic without the SAR is still entry back into the trend. What this is telling you that the DB will lay over the SAR and continue the trend from lower bar to lower bar with the DB showing and the SAR under the DB.

If ROMAR is support and the DB/SAR are resistance then ROMAR is your target. If ROMAR is Resistance with the DB/SAR then the trend will continue on.

On an uptrend just reverse everything.

In ranging mode the SAR will detached from the DB and will move from low to high and vice-versa until the DB attaches with the SAR. If the DB is on the topside then the DB will attach with the SAR on the bottom and vice-versa.

Date - 14/3/2017

D1: (Purple balance: Should go up to balance)
ROMAR - Support
EMA - Support
PSAR - Support

Check List:
Last MACD 0 crossing - Up
Last EMA Alert Arrow - Up
Last DB Attachment – 122.873
Fibonacci - Up (Is about to turn down in ~3 days).

Notes: (News at 5.30 my time only, low impact). Smooth is a support and a good entry point for long. This chart screams long to me.

H2:
OPEN PRICE -
ROMAR - Support
EMA - Resistance & Support
PSAR - Resistance

Check List:
Last MACD 0 crossing - Down
Last EMA Alert Arrow - Up
Last DB Attachment – 121.638
Fibonacci - Down

Notes: Enough space until EMA and PSAR resistances for long. Horsemen and parabolic trend against me but ROMAR is going to hold support. Divergence and price box (not green price box but also adds for the confluence).

H1:
ROMAR - Resistance
EMA - Resistance
PSAR - Resistance

Check List:
Fibonacci - Up (for around 2h more).
Notes: There was a hit on the BBs a few hours earlier that can add confluence to my long, also there’s enough room until ROMAR and PSAR resistances.



Final Notes for all three charts: I see enough confluence for the long, especially due to D1 Unbalance/Smooth and H2 ROMAR.

Entry:

Long: In the open of the H2 candle.


Notes for readjustments: -
