Core Setup:
XU-XARDFX: Your powerhouse indicator, blending TMA2 bands, Semafor dots, Heiken Ashi (HA) candles, and T1MA trend lines. In v4.6, it’s lean (there is a strength display which I am still working on).
BarsPercent=100.0, now adjustable, set to 30% or 15% for speed;
XU-ZZ-v1.1: Plots black ZigZag lines to mark key pivots, syncing with XARDFX’s signals for confirmation.
Timeframe Flow:
Start on higher TFs (30M) to spot the big picture—trend direction and major pivots via ZZ and TMA2 slope.
Drop to 5M/1M for precision entries/exits, aligning short-term moves with the broader bias.
Key Signals:
TMA2 Bands: Price hitting upper/lower bands signals overextension—watch for reversals or breakouts. Slope (buffer 14) sets trend bias (up > 0, down < 0).
Semafor Dots: Multi-period dots (10, 50, 250, etc.) flag swing highs/lows. Bigger dots (e.g., S5, gold) on M30 confirm ZZ pivots; smaller ones (S1, green/red) on 5M time entries.
HA Candles: Blue (bullish) or orange-red (bearish) bars show momentum—trade with color shifts aligned with TMA2/T1MA.
T1MA Trend: EMA (26-period) sets direction—price above (blue) is bullish, below (red) bearish. Crosses signal entries/exits.
ZZ Pivots: Black lines lock in support/resistance—trade bounces or breaks when Semafor and HA agree.
Execution:
Entry: Look for confluence—e.g., price bounces off TMA2 lower band on 5M, HA turns blue, T1MA goes bullish, Semafor dot forms, ZZ pivot holds. Reverse for shorts.
Exit: Take profit at opposite TMA2 band, next ZZ pivot, or when HA flips/T1MA crosses against you.
Pairs: NDX100 for tech swings, XAUUSD for volatility, GBPJPY for pips.
Style: Scalping to short-term swings—fast 1M scalps or 30M trend rides, depending on market heat.
Why It Works for You
Visual Clarity: XARDFX’s all-in-one (TMA2, Semafor, HA, T1MA) plus ZZ’s clean pivots cut through noise—perfect for your drop-down trading method.
Flexibility: Scales from M30 bias to 5M precision.
Speed: v4.6’s lean build keeps MT4 humming along.
Enjoy!
