{quote} We are not in consolidation - we are in an uptrend Ranging mode. That is what the Paradox is saying. Study and you may get it.
Hi Dove,

I'm a little lost when i comes to determining a ranging market. In post 1676 identifying a ranging market is having the market in between both EMA and Romar with a 50 or less pip spread. Currently on the daily that isn't the case because the market is above EMA and Romar so i believe ive misinterpreted the rules for identifying a ranging market.

and with identifying consolidation on market open the basic rules are,

Rules for determining consolidation:
a: All 3 charts determines consolidation. If one of the 3 charts is not in sync you are in consolidation.
b: If ROMAR, EMA are opposite of one another on any chart you are in consolidation.
c: White crossing Purple on any chart places the whole system in consolidation and setting up for a reversal, a swing for a new cycle, ranging, or sideways consolidation.
d: If the Parabolic's on any chart is opposite of the other charts you are in consolidation.

with the market open today having Romar above Ema on the H2 and with the H1 and Daily Ema above Romar make it a consolidation under option B? or am i majorly miss understanding something? in saying that at this current time all 3 are now the same invalidating consolidation rules

I'm wondering about how do you identify if it is ranging because i think I have missed something all together.

Hi everyone, My trading plan for today Date: 31-05-2017 10:00am local D1: ROMAR - Support EMA - Resistance PSAR - Resistance Check List: Last MACD 0 crossing - down Last EMA Alert Arrow - down Fibo down BB flat Notes: D1 four horsemen showing downtrend. EMA cross Purple. SAR at 23.6 fibo. H2: ROMAR - Resistance EMA - Support PSAR - Support Check List: Last MACD 0 crossing - up Last EMA Alert Arrow - up Fibo up Notes: H2 in consolidation. Sar attached close to romar. White cross purple for downtrend, EMA, smooth hold support H1: ROMAR - Resistance...
Trade result: -40 pips.

Evaluation: The trade go as far as 38 pips then go back up. I'm not good enough. My trading plan's suck. I didn't trade in the moment and trade what I think not what I see. I'm back to study.
Trust. Commitment. Love

Hello Traders,

It's awesome to see all the new followers posting trade plans. There seemed to be some confusion with last nights trade set up. Here is my plan with screen shots on entry. I thought the Daily screen shot would be of benefit.



Session Sydney: EUR - JPY 5/31/2017

Daily: Open at Smooth
ROMAR: Support
EMA: Resistance
Parabolic: Resistance
Notes: Purple crossed White, Smooth and EMA down. EMA in slider with Purple and White. SAR attach just below 23.6 FIBO. MACD zero cross arrow down. Trend EMA arrow down. FIBO down.

H2
ROMAR: Support / Resistance
EMA: Support / Resistance
Parabolic: Support
Notes: Four Horsemen up. DB / SAR up with MAGENTA and GREEN DIVERGENCE attach at 100.0 FIBO. MACD zero cross arrow up. Trend EMA arrow up. FIBO up.

H1
ROMAR: Support
EMA: Support
Parabolic: Support
Notes: Four Horsemen up. Trend EMA arrow up. MACD zero cross arrow up. FIBO up.

FINAL NOTES: H1 up. H2 up. Daily turning down, however also ranging, and ROMAR trend is up. I will enter long position off H2 support. I will also, be patient and wait on Daily opening candle to determine entry support level.

Adjustment: Daily open candle at Smooth with Trend EMA arrow up alert.

Long: Entered long position off Daily open candle at Smooth support. Set TP +40 SL 40.

Result: Took +40 from the market.

Hope this helps,

Best Regards,

Chad

I was asked how did I know we were going into an uptrend ranging mode? The answer is with the Daily Parabolic.

Taking a look at the picture below you will see the Beginning of the Uptrend Ranging. First is ROMAR as support; and secondly the Parabolic is support.

When the beginning began the DB/SAR were connected at the text Beginning of Ranging at the Top of the Fibo. There was no-way the market was going to turn on a dime for the simple reason the Parabolic was not in position to flip. Instead it went sideways for a few days and then the SAR connected for the up to reconnect with the DB which means higher high.

It got higher high and the SAR reconnected with the DB. The Problem is it will continue with higher highs because of the Parabolic trend. This will continue is a ranging mode until the Daily Parabolic flips. Nothing will change that.

The next candle went higher high but retraced more than 50% of its candle; which means the next candle will continue south for the Parabolic. It hit the Parabolic and both the DB/SAR connected at the Parabolic. What you have now is the DB telling you the next connection for the DB is on the topside; unless the Parabolic flips.

As you can see the SAR reconnected on the top with the Fibo and without the DB. Then connected on the bottom WITH THE PARABOLIC FLIP.

With this Parabolic flip the Paradox is telling you a story:

The Parabolic on top is now the power for the downtrend. But you also have both the DB and the SAR on the bottom for the up. The SAR is locked in but the DB is not. Which means the next connection for the SAR is on top. The problem; the Parabolic on top for a downtrend until white crosses Purple could keep the SAR where it is at.

Since this is in a ranging mode; here is the scenarios. The White must cross Purple to eliminate the Parabolic power on the Daily. It will continue north for the either the SAR; or both the DB/SAR. Once they are both connected together then we will have a reversal on the Daily.

The other scenario is the SAR connecting and continue south for the DB connection and then continue south.

Since we are in a ranging mode there is one scenario that is possible because of the Parabolic flip. And that is: The Parabolic will continue the market south and then connected the SAR first, then the DB next, and then continue south.

If you look at your H2 at this moment you will see the chart is in a EMA slider to continue up with EMA and the Parabolic holding support. This also verifies the market will continue up to reconnect the Daily SAR. But no-matter what scenario happens one thing is for sure; the H2 Parabolic must flip before going south.

As you can see the Paradox tells you stories from bar to bar. in using the Daily and the H2 charts ONLY. If you continue to use the H1 as a trading chart you then will become a loser,

I considered that D1 was in ROMAR ranging because ROMAR is outside the BBs and the PSAR is against its trend, I hope I'm not wrong, am I?

You are being analytical with your statement. There is not one thing on this thread stated your comment. The only way you came up with that is analyzing; which means you have no idea about the truth of the Paradox. You cannot analyze the Paradox. The Paradox is totally truth, and what it says it will - it will do; no if or and's about it. When you become analytical with the Paradox then you will become a total loser. I cannot say it any plainer then that. You cannot analyze truth which means become a believer in what the Paradox is saying or become a loser. The visuals are there and all you need to do is believe in the visuals. But most importantly have the heart, lots of heart in studying everything that is on this thread. Then you might make something for yourself.

Yes, my analytical mind is something that I aim to change, it takes me GREAT effort (because of being a scientist I guess) but I'm not going to stop studying and trying until I get it, that I can assure you. Thanks again for the patience,

Evaluation: poor trade due to trading against the 2H parabolic and daily parabolic and Sar. Need to go back and study Divergence, Parabolic rules and identifying ranging markets better. Added notes- even consolidation has a trend.

Mexican301,

Some helpful tips for you to apply to your next trade plan, and trade. Never trade against the trend,( i.e. the H2 PSAR trend). You had the H1 and H2 in sync with the up trend. If your thinking about a reversal or counter trade with the H2, a couple of things need to happen before a trade can be made. I have posted a few examples of this recently. If you look at my last post with trade plan and entry shortly after yours, you will have have a better understanding of what to look for in the future.

Best Regards,

Chad

Hi Chad,

No doubt my lack of understanding is responsible, but your post above has left me confused. Under H2 you have the following:


"ROMAR: Support / Resistance
EMA : Support / Resistance"

I would have thought they were either one or the other; if you have the time to enlighten me, I should be much obliged.

Hopeful thanks,

You know Jakdan - the rule is trading the EJ and not the GU. You have to learn how to trade the EJ with 80% using the 40/40 rule before you can do anything else. If you want to continue in being a loser then continue breaking the rules.
