ilpoj - I was replying to your post but you deleted it as I was replying. But yes; Balance is crucial with the Paradox. And as you continue to study you will find many things that will amaze you. For as long as I have been trading the Paradox; even today - from time to time - I am amaze of something the Paradox has shown me in which I had never seen before. It is a never ending learning process.

Ok and thanks for the reply. To clarify to all readers, I just posted a comment about how it was strange that after going through the rules over and over again for a month, I suddenly notice a new key concept that was completely invisible to me even though it was all over the thread, even in quite recent posts. It was the rule of balance, which is a nice addition to the previous rules (that I knew of). Also two days ago on friday, another eye-opener was that when the daily SAR appeared pointing up, the market went down (picture).

Below is a my daily chart. My computer crashed yesterday and when I opened Forex.com's MT4 right now (10 AM here), the charts were gone... I just reloaded the daily template (picture), is it correct? I adjusted the visible bars to 39 (and a half bar on the far left). I now use the resolution of 1920x1080, which is the same aspect ratio, as 1600*900. Is it right to use 1920x1080?

Aspect ratio comparison:
1920/1080=1.77777
1600/900=1.77777

Indeed, thanks Maas. Making mistakes is all natural but it is bad if one doesn't try to fix it later. It's good that we have great teachers here.

Balance is absolutely critical. I had the light bulb moment in regards to balance and once you start applying it to your plans it really helps you read the paradox story and see into the future.

Great teachers will place you in a position whereby you can start to trouble shoot for oneself and then build upon those foundations - and yes, this aspect of learning can be found here.
It is a privileged position for students to find themselves in.
Your observation is simple, yet very profound - Making mistakes is all natural but it is bad if one doesn't try to fix it....
If you make up your own rules then the story is sad.....

{quote} Welcome aboard trader and keep studying as you will learn more than you can dream of. So, lets get the slider right: You are right with the White crossing going into consolidation. But Smooth is the signal indicator for a slider, along with EMA. One thing to focus on is with EMA crossing Purple in a slider. The Parabolic will not flip until EMA touches Purple for a crossing; it is then the Parabolic will flip. This is ONLY on the H2 chart. Smooth will always stay under White for an up slider and above White for a down slider. There are times...
Thank you very much sir, duely noted. I hope throughout this week I will start posting my trading plans.
God bless you

Self Evaluation: took +40 off the market, went short when SAR attached on the H2 right when i was making my plan for the day. i was going to wait for SAR to get to PSAR, Then saw it was at the 38.2 fib together with Daily PSAR, Slight delay i thought almost cost me as the market started to turn just on hitting my TP, spread obviously keeping me in. however i had no doubt as the 4 horsemen where still ruling the ride down, if i hadn't hesitated i may have had 2 hours less stress but patience is the key and faith in the paradox that my TP would be hit.

Self Evaluation: bottled it again, looks like i had plenty of opportunity to go short as in plan even had 60 to the Lower BB. This type of trade always seems to have me thinking, over analysing. missed a few opportunities with work and other things but should have went in no matter.
lost an easy 40 today but always tomorrow.

Not much yapping here today. Even the Master is gone. But he has done the greatest work by setting the golden path tiles for us to follow. It gets more interesting in the process as one keeps digging more into it. One gets easily impatient, but if one breaks the rules one way or another, one gets burned very fast. So it's better to start learning quickly. The thought came to me, that the real progress here happens when one feels more willing to comply into the Dove's rules. So one should calculate one's progress by how well one has adapted to the rules. Worst thing a beginner can do, without quitting altogether, is following one's progress by the amount of currency earned or lost.

Hello there,

I've been busy lately (but next week I'll get back to the usual), and yesterday I decided to enable the MACD 0 cross alerts for my H2 chart and realized it was enabled already, but they never beeped (to the point I assumed the alarm was disabled by default). Tried disabling it, and doesn't beep either. EMA alerts work perfectly.

Any idea about what's wrong?

Regards,

Pablo.

I don't think that's the cause, I use the default alert.wav, and EMA alert works fine playing that sound. Also, it's not a sound problem because I don't get the alarm window itself. Does MACD alarm work for you then?
