For instance, you see Down Arrow, and 1st green small dot, it means the price would probably going up to orange small dot (or higher than Arrow), so you consider Buying as priority. then in 15mn you have an orange small dot, meaning price would probably going down. without going any further, as 30mn influence is stronger, you know the price should go up in 15mn also to get synchronized with 30mn, so you probably have to wait for 15mn green mini dot. And so on for each TF you have selected (3 TF are sufficent most of the time). This allow to identify probable price direction, then you can apply second dot rule (small or big - your choice) and ema crossing signals.

The same way, big dots have more influence than small dots. they also appear less often in small TF (usually more small dots in 1mn).
Keep in mind that Square/Arrow alone can't determine price direction (for instance, gold kept down arrow for months in 30mn).

Use EMA to help you identify trends and sub trends (i have added a 50 smoothed MA to my setup for even more help and i also have a look at xu_tdi on each TF, looking for direction synchronisation also through TF).

dots synchronisation through TF are the key to identify probable direction. that's my understanding of XARD system (i trade using 15-5-1 most of the time).

remember also that price movments usually are longer in the main trend direction and shorter otherwise.

I mean, you have said it yourself multiple times with "probably should" and "probably will" comments. The only part that actually seems like a solid setup is using the EMA and TDI together. No hate, but honestly? The rest just feels like unnecessary noise.

Just keeping it real!

I know it's in hingsight now. But this is how trend following should look like.
