To Dana, I figured out a way to use a simulator for the 2H charts. I was wondering if I am allowed to post some charts from last week with my analysis (pointing with arrows on the images and what not), to see if I am interpreting how to use the fib, DB/SAR, 4 horsemen, etc correctly. I didn't want it to seem like I'm posting information that may be false, but I thought maybe we can all learn from my mistakes or my successes. I wanted to ask you first for your permission before posting anything.
No problem - but how did you get the H2 on the simulator. I don't use it much but for future training I sure like to know how you did it.

Before I post my trading plan, I would first like to thank Shaun and Dana for taking time out of their busy schedules to post informative tutorials. I have read and studied Shaun's religiously and I haven't got to Dana's yet, but I can already tell it is going to be mind opening. So, please, if I did not apply Dove's new tutorials to my trading plan below, I really apologize. Ultimately, I am so grateful that God has sent these amazing messengers to our lives, and I will never take your hospitality, kindness, knowledge, wisdom, mentorship and Christian...
Before you start posting your concerns be sure you read the tutorial I had spent the whole weekend on costing you nothing. Reading that tutorial will more than likely answer 90% of your questions. And if you had read the tutorial you probably would not had taken the wrong trade with your trading plan above.

Hello there,

After the second pass studying Dana's tutorial I have some questions and made a PDF with them, have the images on .docx but can't extract them back with proper quality, so apologies for not posting the images directly (I don't have the originals anymore).

Regards,

Pablo.

Hello Traders

Here is my trade from today (EURJPY):

2hr Chart:

2hr EMA had crossed ROMAR, SAR attachment at Smooth, MACD below zero. Basically a bread and butter trade.

Hello Traders, I have not been at my trade station and had the opportunity to trade this scenario. I would loved to have entered this trade on the Daily EMA SAR hit however, the spread spiked at that moment. So I had to carry on with my plan if it did. This was not a comfortable entry, I prefer to enter as low as possible. With that said I can say with confidence my faith in the Paradox is absolute so, I let the Paradox take over then took my youngest daughter out for a walk and returned with my +40. It's getting to be a lot of fun to start seeing...
Hi Chad,

I was watching last night, watching the fibo flip and taking notes. Sorry for asking you a question after a successful trade, as its consolidation you can trade long and short but the thing that struck me is wasnt a long trade against the trend on h2? Apolgies in advance for my stupidity but I would be keen to know. My thought was it looked like ranging and as you said the confluence on daily sar ema hit showed space for a 40 long trade up to resistance?

Hi Shaun,

I understand why you placed the trade, but I'm wondering at what point did you enter. Was it as soon as the SAR showed up by trading in the moment or did you wait until the the candle closed to enter?

Hi Aaron

The entry was at the close of the candle. Usually, other than say a big spike to say the upper/lower BB, entries are at the close of the candle. 95% of your entries will be at the candle close.

Hello Retroque,

Normally, I would not trade against the H2 PSAR trend. With that trade I was primarily trading off the Daily as it was in control over the H2, and was ranging. The SAR hit on EMA was enough confluence by itself. The H2 FIBO flipin that scenario was added an added confluence factor.

I was very tempted to take the trade Shaun took as well however, I follow Dana's rules and believe the one regarding greed is an important one!

Best Regards,

Chad

Pablo - what you need to do is take your charts and point out your concerns on the charts. Take a screen shot of what you have pointed out and then upload the chart then type out your question(s) under the screen shot and post it. If you have more then one concern then do the same with your next concern. Either myself, or Shaun, or Chard will help you with those concerns. Your concerns could be the same with others and this way we can take care of everyone. A PDF will not do it. So spend your weekend on your concerns and post them. When he have time we will get to them.

Everyone have a blessed and great weekend. God bless us all.

Okay here are the questions reformatted, trying to be as clear as possible.

Here we see the situation labeled in A defined as ROMAR ranging, but in B we see a trend and the differences I see against A are: the horsemen being support, last DB attachment (up in that moment instead of down) and EMA being support.
1) Of the differences I pointed out, which ones are important to consider in the moment so you know if you are in ROMAR ranging or not? Am I missing something else?


Attached Image (click to enlarge)
Click to Enlarge Name: 3.png Size: 76 KB

2) Would this be a valid example of BB ranging? Ive been looking for one to have a visual of it, and I noticed Purple is crossing ROMAR back and forth, which could be another good hint of ranging?

3) Here we see the upper BB being target for the market. In ranging, everytime we see a flat BB inside the Fibo box is it a target for the market if there are no S/R in between (or are nullified like in the second picture)?

4) Here the fibo has been placed into retracement mode, is it because of the compression causing the 161.8 level showing up?
5) Also, while in a fibo retracement mode in a ranging market, should we always expect a 23.6/61.8 hit with DB and then turn with the trend?


Attached Image (click to enlarge)

6) Here we see EMA in a slider as support with the help of the lower BB, but I dont understand that help, I think it cant be the slope because then upper BB has slope against it, so is it because the lower BB is inside the Fibo box?

7) Original text by Dana: Take a look at this frame very carefully. You have the SAR attached with the Parabolic, EMA and White/Smooth in a down trend with the Hidden Divergence. And what the Paradox is saying is the bottom of the Fibo will be hit to reconnect with DB.
Hidden divergence is pointed out in this image as another confluence for the short (or so I understand), why? I always understood divergences are confluences for reversals.


That's all I think, hope is clear to see.

Regards,

Pablo.

Hi Everyone,
I have been reading and studying Dove’s recent tutorial and last night was watching a setup. I was hoping to check if I have understood and applied Dove’s teachings or it was luck and I’m way off the mark. I have really been trying to focus on reading what the paradox is saying and applying all elements, to see into the future and where the market is going, to trade to the next target.

We are still in the daily ranging mode. The daily purple, smooth and white are all flat and late yesterday the daily candle hit parabolic along with DB and divergence. The setup I was watching was several hours later in the change of ema trend on H2. We had a green fibo at the bottom with DB, SAR and divergence. This first of all tells me the next DB connection will be at the top. The BB were tightening inside the fibo and as its ranging, the next target for the market will be the upper BB. The candles were consolidating for the change of ema trend, with the white and smooth purple crossings. SAR had appeared at the parabolic. Also the EMA arrow and MACD arrow in correct order. Parabolic flipped and I took a screenshot and went to bed.
The candles continued to consolidate, then EMA finally crossed purple candles then found support at smooth with the 23.6 fibo and off they went to hit the upper BB.

Now I haven’t mentioned this, but my major concern in this was Romar resistance. The other elements of the Paradox were saying to me that Romar would be breached and the market will get above it.

I have included screenshots of last night with the parabolic flip and then today with the upper BB being hit. Was I right in seeing the target or was this luck and I’ve got it wrong?
