Yes things have become more clear recently with Dove's help. I am targeting 20 pips, but perhaps the 0 fib is another potential target?

The Paradox System

Yes, I did as well, but to be honest, I only saw it because Dove said so.

The Paradox System

I think that is why you wait for the bar to close, but could be wrong.

The Paradox System

Understood, I had realized my mistake, but thank you for confirming. Using this logic, in an uptrend, but with the 1HR in consolidation with White/Purple crossing, I believe the EMA on the 2HR would be the entry?

The Paradox System

Thank you again. I confused myself because we were just discussing your entry at 2-HR Smooth.

Thank you, Jtrade, and ddaytrade for your answers - I appreciate it! And yes, my backtesting was binary - either win or no win basically. In reality, I'm not going to let a trade go to less than 1 from target and then take a full loss on it. I ...

Thank you for the response, I very much appreciate it. The picture you posted in the last page didn't include the next bar as the chart I posted did. White/Smooth have crossed in the picture I posted, and definitely had crossed by the next bar. I'm ...

The Paradox System

Dove, could you please help me understand how you would avoid the long with the open above EMA and white/smooth crossing?

I don't mean to disrupt this thread, but after wasting time with a number of prepackaged systems on here, I realized what I needed to do, thanks to this thread. And that was to actually look at my charts and back test until something that I ...
