From MT4, It is not easy to forget old tradition.
Especially when Blue mean go long, Red go short and white go wait.
Let there be ribbon between EMA 13 and 55 to provide additional visual aid to make informed decision.
That Gann Hilo type of MA brings exciting play.
XARD777 and Forex-Station are gradually making me to embrace MT5.
Thank you All

Custom MACD: Pinpoints the Start and End of Trends
It guides you on when to enter, stay, and exit trades.

Fantastic! How do I get started?

No worries, friends—I’ve already incorporated the custom MACD settings (and more) into the HA Candles+XMAv5 indicator, which you should now be using in your daily trading setup. Plan ahead... Trade the Plan.
You’re welcome!

Now that we have our MACD incorporated into our setup. Lets look at another favorite.
The Traders Dynamic Index (TDI).

Understand the Context and MACD Settings
MACD Settings
From our earlier discussions, the custom MACD settings we're using in the HA Candles+XMAv5 indicator are:

Fast EMA: 4 (EMA4Period)
Slow EMA: 13 (EMA13Period)
Signal EMA: 4 (used for smoothing the MACD line)

These settings were derived from the calculation 4*2 + 13 = 21, which is aligned with the TDI’s RSI period. The MACD is integrated into the HA Candles+XMAv5 indicator to enhance trend detection, helping you identify the start and end of trends for entry, staying in, and exiting trades.

And here is the TDI with the RSI_Period: Adjusted to match XMAv5 (4*2 + 13 = 21)

Basically the Yellow Base line in the TDI is used as the Bullish/Bearish Trend line.
But where it excels in, is when that line is Above/Below the Level 2 (50) that is important.
As long as the Yellow line stays Above the Level 2 (50) the chart is considered to be in Bullish territory and in bearish territory when the line stays Below the Level 2 (50). As well as highlighting the level with the two colored backgrounds, I have also added Text to the top-right of the sub-window.

I enclose the TDI indicator if you want to give it a try.
It is a work in progress... I am thinking of adding an alert when the Yellow Base line crosses the Level 2 (50).
One of the main reasons that I do not add alerts is when they all go off it just drives me nuts.

Then there is the old school settings of the EMAs 13 + 55.
These settings were derived from the explosive move of the RSI crossing the Level 2 (50), so it done away with having to show an RSI in the sub-window. So now simply keep an eye on the EMA 13 crossing the EMA 55, again--this is all catered for in the XU v010-MT5-Setup.

The RSI crossing the EMA 13/55.
The MACD crossing to Enter, Stay, and Exit trades.
And now the TDI showing the Staying Power of Bullish/Bearish Trends


Not are you getting the best of both worlds you are getting the best of all worlds in the XARD UNIVERSE.
Enjoy!

Dear Xard,

I am extremely thankful to you for your relentless dedication and continuous innovation in the development of your trading systems.

The recent release of XU v010 is nothing short of impressive.

Using Sema 10 and Sema 50, along with the classic EMAs (13/55), demonstrates your commitment to maintaining simplicity without sacrificing effectiveness.

The addition of the XU-TDI is a masterstroke, which further enriches the system, giving traders even greater clarity and confidence in their decision-making.

It is this continuous drive to enhance and refine the system that truly sets you apart. You are the best, and we are all so lucky to have you in this community.

Thanks

Mazi

Hello Mr. Xard, thank you once again for your generosity and all the effort you put into your updates.

I've noticed that this version has a certain delay with regard to movements, often the price is already moving but the candles are not following as can be seen in this comparison with the latest version of MT4.

It's as if it's stuck because even the candle time counter doesn't update, but the price has already moved as you can see in the image.

I also noticed that this error appeared in the terminal.

I have set a maximum of 3000 candles on the chart, could this be the problem?
