🔺 MT5 XARD - Simple Trend Following Trading System

I added one more column to Vetis's indicator (post1295585975.html#p1295585975).

This was because I read that post by Xard (post1295586106.html#p1295586106), where he said: "Most days when I trade, I wait for the 2nd Sema2 dot before taking some meat off the bone. 'Don't be greedy, be consistent' is my mantra."

2nd Dot" is the big dot = So, the 2nd Sema2 is a big dot, without the arrows and the square.

Thanks for your work but accord my understanding the second dot is the one marked in the picture.

I just came to edit my post to say that the "2nd Dot" is the big dot.

The square Dot contains the small dot, the big dot, and the arrow dot.

The arrow dot contains the big dot and the small dot, etc.

Someone had even drawn a picture of that at some point; I can't find it right now.

Since the size of a semaphore is additive, sema1 + sema2 + sema3 = sema4.

You are mistaken, and Pelle is right.

In your graph, Sema 3 (arrow) is not visible, so it's impossible to determine the second point (Sema 2).
Furthermore, you've marked the first large point as point one and the others as the second point. This is also an error. The second point is simply the second point... The one before it is the first point, and the one after that is the third point.

If we strictly followed what Xard777 said (enter at the second point (sema 2)), we could only enter after the arrow at the second point of sema 2 and we couldn't enter anywhere else.

Can we enter somewhere else? Of course, my explanation is only for the specific example... You can enter at any second point: the second arrow, the second large point, and the second small point (with different take profits)... You can also enter in continuation, going back to the example: you enter at the second large point and then re-enter at the other points following the trend, the fourth point, the sixth point, etc. (each time with a greater risk of exhausting the trend).

Right now I don't have time to explain it with a chart. If you don't understand, let me know and I'll upload the explanation with a diagram later.

PS: Pelle is also right that each sema contains all the semas below it.

Better this way?

Yes Pelle for my undestanding that is correct secuense. A lot of people understand the arrow after the square is correc entry point and maybe but i see better entryes with that secuense First appears the square, then we wait for the arrow and then we wait for big dot.

OK, here it is.

I have 12 years of trede, I fallow Xart from the geginning. I undrstand the better entryes are when Square appears we wait for arrow and late we wait for big dot. Maybe you have your own style.
I copy past the words of Xard:
Trade in the direction of the Sema4/Sema3 bias. The best setup is a Sema2 signal within that bias.

Soo we wait for square (Sema 4) then we wait for Arrow (Sema 3) and whit this 2 in sinc we wait for Big Dot (Sema2)
