Hi Miau1, I feel it is relevant - after having posted recently a TP40 i completed that was not posted "pre-future" & reprimanded by Dove because in retrospect i could have actually faked that entry if i was that way inclined, that if we ask for reviews from people for help in regards to our plans, we should at least post our plan once we set & complete it and are happy with our choice of Long or Short. That way Dove and everyone else with more knowledge

Hello there,

I made no entry (and my plan was "complete" because was not able to reach PC), and honestly I have nothing to fake about, just looking for a review from seniors about what's best to do in such scenario to be sure about it next time, I'm not afraid at all of failing on my trading plans -I think anyone who read the thread should know that by now: I learn more when I fail-, but I want to be 100% sure about them again first, is very important for me.

Regards.

Hello Traders,

Although I feel I have a very good understanding of the Paradox, I seem to learn more and more everyday. Even on days I don't make a trade. I didn't feel comfortable with any set up to trade while I was at my trade station, and called it an early night.

Thought I would post last nights plan for the group to review.


Session Sydney: EUR - JPY 4/19/2017

Daily: Open above EMA.
ROMAR: Resistance
EMA: Resistance
Parabolic: Eliminated
Notes: Four Horsemen down. Purple crossed White PSAR eliminated, open above EMA, indicating a turn for the up. SAR attach above EMA previous day. Trend EMA arrow up. MACD zero cross arrow up. FIBO up.

H2
ROMAR: Support
EMA: Support
Parabolic: Eliminated
Notes: Purple crossed White, Smooth down, PSAR eliminated. EMA holding support. Trend EMA arrow down. MACD zero cross arrow down. SAR attach just above PSAR for the up. FIBO down.

H1
ROMAR: Support
EMA: Resistance
Parabolic: Resistance
Notes: EMA crossed Purple, and White down. Trend EMA arrow down. MACD zero cross arrow down. MA cross over arrow down. FIBO down.

FINAL NOTES: H1 down. H2 up. Daily turning up. Market in consolidation. I expect the Daily SAR attach to continue up until at least a hit on the PSAR. Will enter long position off H2 support.

Adjustment:

Long:

Result: No trade.

There has been a few times I talked about THE MARKET REVERSAL. I had given examples and scenarios in how this is done with the Paradox showing the way. I have shown you the beginning, through the ending of the reversal and what to be looking for - but yet - I see no postings in regard of the marker reversal that have been happening since the beginning of the week.

Hello Dana. As I understand the signs of reversal are Daily Ema arrow and also Macd is up with 2h and 1h in full uptrend. I made my entry long today based on these signs even though there was Daily Psar resistance just a few pips away, but eliminated by white purple cross. Also Daily opening above Ema. Is my interpretation correct?

I have seen nothing to suggest fakeness in your or most plans that i see. This was not my intent in my post, sorry for causing confusion. I am of the belief that the way to ask for help is to post a plan - this is all & just my opinion. All smiles ok? The vast majority here are serious & honest students i think.

I believe you are speaking to the 2h ROMAR crossing the EMA on Tuesday, changing/reversing the trend. This also follows the 1H ROMAR crossing of the EMA on the 17th. So they are now insync, no longer in conflict. Also we are now alerted to the Daily with MKt moving steadily up toward ROMAR and a very likely EMA crossing; and with it a full blown new up trend insync on all three charts.

You're very close. First is both the H1 and H2 ROMAR crossing EMA begins the reversal. You first have a battle with the H1 ROMAR for the crossing; and then the H2 battle for the crossing and then that leaves the Daily ROMAR for a battle. The battle on the Daily can be days into a week or more. IF the Daily ROMAR is broken then you have a new Market Trend.

I'm still half way with the study I wanted to do before posting plans, but I want to share my trading plan anyway, I'm testing something new on it:

Date - 20/4/2017

D1: (Purple balance: Down)
ROMAR - Resistance
EMA - Resistance (=H2 ROMAR SUPPORT)
PSAR - Resistance nullified

Check List:
Last MACD 0 crossing - Up
Last EMA Alert Arrow - Up
Last DB Attachment - Bottom
Fibonacci - Up (23.6 = H1 ROMAR SUPPORT)

Notes: (No news until next day). Divergences for the long & DB/SAR setup for the long. Horsemen turning for the long but still down. Trend down, consolidated.

H2:
ROMAR - Support (=EMA D1 RESISTANCE)
EMA - Support (=H1 50.0 fibo)
PSAR Support nullified (=D1 PSAR)

Check List:
Last MACD 0 crossing - Down
Last EMA Alert Arrow - Down
Last DB Attachment - Top
Fibonacci - Down

Notes:Divergences for the short & DB/SAR setup for the short. Horsemen turning down. Trend up, consolidated.

H1:
ROMAR - Support (=D1 23.6 fibo)
EMA - Resistance
PSAR - Resistance

Check List:
Fibonacci - Down
Notes: Horsemen just turned down. Trend up, consolidated (EMA cross Purple)

Final Notes for all three charts: Market is starting a swing down or sideways consolidation but main trend is long.
Entry:
Long: After the swing down/sideways consolidation, will enter long if SAR-PSAR attached as I see enough support confluence there.

Trade result: -40 pips.

Self-evaluation: Despite anticipating the sideways consolidation I reached PC to see my SL was hit because the breakout was south instead, my SL wasn’t low enough and I’m considering that next time I should wait more before entering even if I have to put alarms overnight again to be able to make readjustments (I noticed I try too hard to make an entry before going bed), should have waited until the swing down/sideways market was over!

I think this forum is poisonous and deserves to die, a slow lingering death due to abandonment and contempt for the creator. The last few followers who are still involved, good luck. Your time may be limited. Why would anyone want to contribute with a risk of being banned for saying the wrong words or post something that stimulates discussion and then results in them being banned as its not what is wanted. Not a question but a very obvious observation and deficiency of there motives. The paradox is clearly that. A paradox indeed, but not the paradox...
In all fairness, you never really made much of an effort and when you failed to grasp the system, you once again hit out at anybody, blaming them for your failure. It is stated right at the beginning of this thread that the Paradox isnt for everyone. Why you can't accept that and just move on rather than writing on other threads about how awful this system/dove/people in this thread are, proves your a very bitter and poisonous person.

You had your say, and this is my response, although I realise it's completely wasted on you.

Folks, there are some very bitter and sad people on FF, they fail here or in other threads and it's everybody else's fault. They create threads to just run down a person/system etc, come on, get a life, move on because we all certainly have!
Nobody can be told what The Matrix is. You'll have to see it yourself.

{quote} In all fairness, you never really made.......Folks, there are some very bitter and sad people on FF, they fail here .....
I have not read the comment you are referring to Shinny. By your comment i probably wont investigate the issue any further. However for those who allow themselves the unluxury to be swayed with emotions:-
The only advice i have is be careful who you listen to and ignore and never respond to the uninspiring and be inspired by those who show you and demonstrate a clear way forward and with whom can show you their results that you wish to emulate. Some people are more toxic than others. Choose.

"....that he should undergo toils beyond his body's apparent power of endurance. . . because he was of a spare habit (edit - plump), had soft and white skin, suffered from epileptic fits. . . Nevertheless, he did not make his feeble health an excuse for soft living, but rather his military service a cure for his feeble health, since by wearisome journeys, simple diet, continuously sleeping in the open air and enduring hardships he fought off his trouble and kept his body strong against its (edit, insert - "own") attacks." Plutarch, Caesar 17 (Loeb translation by B. Perrin. 1919), p483. Cited in: Caesar. Andrian Goldsworth.2007. isbn 9780753821589. Writing about Julius Caesar during Caesar's Pro-Consul years in Gaul around 57BC.
A passage from a book i happened to have been reading today for the first time ever.

I follow people who demonstrate this kind of tenacity (as above) in their endeavours in order to reach their goal. These leaders usually say what they mean & mean what they say and try to inspire others, their colleagues, through their own demonstrated actions. They do not give nor take excuses. My lovely wife says "open your eyes and shut your mouth". I've heard it otherwise said as "we have 2 ears and one mouth". Other people may choose to be inspired by other ways and means. But regardless of which person/s you choose to admire and follow or be inspired by, One must take personal responsibility for One's own choice to do so, & in a quiet and respectful manner. Compare the Pair.

I will be sure to fail if i forever give up - so i choose to never give up.

I have nothing else to say on such matters and will continue on in yours' and my own endeavours here with the Paradox.

Thank you Shinny for your leadership.

Sure Dove. Too easy. I didn't think we were doing this as many of us haven't been. I'm sure we'll all change this practice now.

Evaluation: Not at trading station from 0630-2020hrs Sydney time (at work). Today my Son was unable to assist.
No trade made.
Having said that there were 2 opportunities if looked at it retrospectively that fit exactly into my plan that was looking into the future and with both having the TP40 in it.

Sorry Dove, i still see no imagination in my plan. I'm trying. The whole thing was simply a clinical scenario to me & would have been successful for me if i was at the trading station - in this instance.

Would love to see your plan today after close of forex business day if your up to sharing? Yes - so i can compare my proficiency.

H2 chart below may be incorrect slightly due to not being able to restart MT4 at 1700 EST.
If i was online at the time i can only surmise that i would have entered and the close of one of the candles marked with Yellow arrows - as per plan - as i don't hesitate with execution. Matters not if I am right or wrong - the lesson is omnipotent.
Edit: Sorry People, the 2nd Yellow arrow on the right needed to be 1 candle over to the right to fit the plan i made. Not wearing my glasses - poor excuse. sorry for the error on the image.

Hello Traders,

Last nights trade plan. I probably should have waited a little longer before entering, and I let this go through high impact news only because of my faith in the system.


Session Sydney: EUR - JPY 4/20/2017

Daily: Open 63 pips from EMA.
ROMAR: Resistance
EMA: Resistance
Parabolic: Support
Notes: Purple crossed White and Smooth up. SAR attach to previous candle. Trend EMA arrow up. MACD zero cross arrow up. PSAR flipped for the up. FIBO up.

H2
ROMAR: Resistance
EMA: Resistance
Parabolic: Resistance
Notes: Purple crossed White, Smooth, down. EMA crossed Purple for the down. Trend EMA arrow down. MACD zero cross arrow down. DB up, / SAR / MAGENTA / GREEN / DIVERGENCE attach. SAR attach below previous PSAR. PSAR flipped for the down. FIBO down.

H1
ROMAR: Support
EMA: Resistance
Parabolic: Resistance
Notes: Four Horsemen down, Purple in slider with White. Trend EMA arrow down. MACD zero cross arrow down. FIBO down.

FINAL NOTES: H1 down. H2 down. Daily down however, turning up. Market in consolidation. Daily open 63 pips from EMA. I expect Daily to retrace down to EMA allowing room for + 40 for H2 short after EMA crosses Purple with SAR flip for the down.

Adjustment:

Short: Entered short position off H2 EMA crossing of Purple for the down. Referenced H1 retrace up to Smooth for entry. Set TP +40 SL 40.

Result: Took + 40 from the market.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Best Regards,

Chad,

Edit: Daily PSAR flipped for support when I adjusted my plan after new Daily candle opened.

OK Pablo – let me go through your trading plan and help you in what you should be seeing. To start with confluence is from bar to bar; and as you create your trading plan you want to see the confluence being created (or already created) on one objective – and not many. I'll place my notes under yours and we go from there.

I'm still half way with the study I wanted to do before posting plans, but I want to share my trading plan anyway, I'm testing something new on it:

Date - 20/4/2017

D1: (Purple balance: Down)
ROMAR - Resistance
EMA - Resistance (=H2 ROMAR SUPPORT)
PSAR - Resistance nullified

Check List:
Last MACD 0 crossing - Up
Last EMA Alert Arrow - Up
Last DB Attachment - Bottom
Fibonacci - Up (23.6 = H1 ROMAR SUPPORT)

Notes: (No news until next day). Divergences for the long & DB/SAR setup for the long. Horsemen turning for the long but still down. Trend down, consolidated.

My Notes: The market is in consolidation with the Daily working for a reversal or slider. SAR attached on top at 117.806 and imbalanced with Purple.

H2:
ROMAR - Support (=EMA D1 RESISTANCE)
EMA - Support (=H1 50.0 fibo)
PSAR Support nullified (=D1 PSAR)

Check List:
Last MACD 0 crossing - Down
Last EMA Alert Arrow - Down
Last DB Attachment - Top
Fibonacci - Down

Notes:Divergences for the short & DB/SAR setup for the short. Horsemen turning down. Trend up, consolidated.

My Notes: Red Arrow down with the MACD down on the next bar. Market opened below EMA with the Parabolic eliminated on the White crossing. The H2 opening below EMA and needs to be balanced.

H1:
ROMAR - Support (=D1 23.6 fibo)
EMA - Resistance
PSAR - Resistance

Check List:
Fibonacci - Down
Notes: Horsemen just turned down. Trend up, consolidated (EMA cross Purple)

My Notes: Parabolic flipped for the down with the 4 horsemen and EMA crossed for the down.

Final Notes for all three charts: Market is starting a swing down or sideways consolidation but main trend is long.

My Final Notes: The Daily SAR next attachment is on the downside with the imbalance of Purple. The H2 is showing the 4 horsemen turning for the down with opening below EMA. Need EMA at Purple for an entry going short.

Entry:
Long: After the swing down/sideways consolidation, will enter long if SAR-PSAR attached as I see enough support confluence there.

OK Pablo – you can see a major difference in what you are seeing and what I was seeing on each chart. The confluence with this trade is the imbalanced for the short. I also had to wait in being sure the H2 EMA would not be a slider under Purple but a crossing for the short; using the H2 ROMAR as support.

I hope this help you in seeing your charts differently.
