{quote} With yesterday's opening you had a FULL BLOWN DOWNTREND ON ALL CHARTS. Which means consolidation was out of question and balance would happen in the trend. You had DB/SAR on the bottom for a retrace (in a slider) towards the Parabolic and entry off the Parabolic for the trend. Staying with the trend and using the Parabolic for entry your 40 would had been hit. The biggest and greatest rule you had broken is 'never trade against the trend'. Another rules is the DB will always ride with the trend. Only in consolidation and ranging is the DB...
Thank you for the patience, D1 purple balance made me biased towards a long and with this operation I saw balance was reached in a retrace within the trend, something I didn't see as possible in the moment.

Your explanations won't be in vain I promise,

The factor on your trade is you thinking and not abiding with the rules of trading. I have seen this in a few of your trades and you finally got caught. You have not yet been able to filter the "edge" into your trading. You make too many excuses to justify your thinking, and excuses is only an subjective way of getting by. You need to work on your mindset. In your trades you are going deep into the hole before profit (and/or) going into profit and then lose your trade. And your mindset is the reason for this scenario. This is only a suggestion to help you and only time will tell if you can see or not.

Yes, I've got an analytical mind and it takes effort to change the way I see things, but I must, and I'm not going to stop until I get it, thanks a lot for highlighting this to me Dana.

You got great potential of being successful and I want to see you make it. So don't feel like the 'lone ranger' as I have been there myself and know the damage it can do with one's mindset. Don't settle for anything less then being one of the best. Just keep working with it and one day you will see the light.

Self Evaluation: sorry there isn't one, broke the rules, anticipating and thinking last weeks would happen again without even looking for a proper entry and being patient enough for the right time.
had the same problem before Paradox at trying to pick tops and bottoms. some will never learn.

anyway there is always tomorrow and lent still has a week or so left.

Me SAR has disappeared...

I'll start by apologising on a subject that has been covered so much, but I've searched and either I'm being thick or my specific challenge hasn't been covered in a way that I understand it (likely the former).

Since the daylight savings I've meddled around with the GMT setting and got myself all confused. I have used UK based broker IG for a long time, and up until the daylight setting change all was good, so I'm just trying to solve whether this is likely a broker issue. If it is I'll switch to Forex.com, but I like IG and I'm loyal to them so prefer to avoid.

I'm GMT plus 1 (but I'm happy to work on UK time). All the templates are correct including the last SAR update.

My 2 hour SAR is out of whack, I noticed it when Hendo posted the chart below:

This is a broker issue. Candles, arrows, SAR, they are all not accurate. This will be solved when you open a demo at Forex.com. At the same time you can still be loyal to IG ;-) just don't use them for the indicators.

A question for you tech savvy guys out there. As per the rules, I've placed my custom sound.wav in the sound alerts folder and it works as it should. However it also goes off at the opening of every 2H bar, which I find unnecessary, if not annoying. Is there some way I can turn the open bar alert off? (or am I wise not to?) Thanks much.
I'm going to try this again. I'm going crazy listening to my custom sound.wav playing at the open of every two hour bar. Far from helping to alert me to EMA arrows the repetitive playing of my 30 second wav is distracting and annoying me (I'm surprised no one else has raised this issue). In my struggle to be the best trader I can be I'm afraid I'm about to give up on this and revert to my default sound wav. If anyone knows of a solution to this I suspect many of us would benefit from it.
Much appreciative of all the expertise shared on this thread!

There is no opening bar alert with the Paradox. What I'm trying to figure out what alert would do that. Do you get a pop up on the alert? If so what does it say?

{quote} Here's how to change your bars to match forex.com if your broker time is different. Entertainment purposes only!! The reason your sar is missing is because your two hour is starting at a 1 hour offset from forex.com. There is an indicator called P4L PeriodCon 509.ex4 . It's just a normal period converter but your are able to shift when your two hour candle starts. Add this two your 1 hour with multiplier by 2. On the shift option for bars just enter the value -1. Then open the offline chart EJpro-1H,H2(offline). It will have a slightly different...

I like the no logic comment in the other chart, just about sums me up at the moment.
