The Xard system isn’t about predicting the future, it’s a framework for structure and bias so you can trade consistently.

Repainting doesn’t make it useless, it just means the tool updates with new data, like a moving average. What actually matters is whether you can apply it with consistency and proper risk management so the law of large numbers works in your favor.

The real edge isn’t in the dots, it’s in thinking in probabilities and letting the math play out over time.
Hey Samoth,

Appreciate your reply, this is the kind of discussion I was hoping for. I get the Mark Douglas mindset and I agree: trading is about probabilities, not certainties.

My issue isn’t that I expect a system to predict the future. It’s that after a year of applying the Xard framework exactly as instructed, across multiple pairs and timeframes, I still couldn’t find a consistent edge. For me, the ā€œlaw of large numbersā€ just added up to a lot of false signals and lagging entries.

Maybe others can apply it differently and make it work, and I’m genuinely open to seeing how. But until I see consistent, verified results (not just screenshots), it feels more like a flashy chart overlay than a reliable framework.

Haha, I'm sure he didn't mean to say it like that šŸ˜‰

I’m glad you said it out loud though: yes, there are better and easier systems without all the hype. That’s exactly my point. If something really works, it doesn’t need repainting zigzags, mysticism, or hundreds of pages of screenshots to prop it up.

I don’t mind criticism or disagreement, but when posts get deleted just because they challenge the narrative, that’s where it starts looking more like damage control than open discussion. If the system works for someone, awesome, but let’s see proof. Otherwise, it’s just storytelling.

For my part, I’m still looking, and I’m still waiting, if anyone can step forward with verified results showing this system actually works in live trading, I’d be the first to acknowledge it. Until then, it’s just talk.

Without question, what will work for one trader does not necessarily work for another. When you say nothing but false signals and lagging entries, I may be wrong but I get the feeling that maybe your approach is that of looking for reversal trades. Xard’s systems have never been about getting that first impulse. It is taking advantage of the probability that after the first impulse and if that structure is not broken, you can follow that intraday trend and take pips from the middle of the now ā€œestablishedā€ trend. But again, different strokes for different folks.

There are many people that would love to make 10k a month in prop firm trading. Perhaps you can briefly share your method and/or start a new thread and share with others your methods?

So, I’ve spent the last year giving this ā€œmagicalā€ system a fair chance. MT5, multiple timeframes, lower TF entries, higher TF confirmation, followed every little guideline Xard and his fanboys have ever suggested.

And what did I get for all that time? False signals on repeat, repainting nonsense, and lagging entries that show up after the move is already gone. Honestly, it’s like trying to drive a car by only looking in the rearview mirror.

Let me make one thing clear: I’m not some salty newbie blowing accounts. I trade prop firm accounts and average over 10K/month in net profit. So when I say this system is a joke, it’s not because I ā€œdon’t understand it.ā€ It’s because it flat-out doesn’t work in live trading conditions. Period.

What blows my mind is that after years and hundreds of pages of this thread, not a single person has shown consistent, verified results. Not one. Not even Xard himself. Instead, it’s just endless screenshots, cherry-picked setups, and fairy tales about compounding your way to riches. Compounding what, exactly? The losses? The imaginary pips from repainting indicators? Give me a break.

This whole thing feels less like a trading system and more like a trading religion. Lots of hype, lots of promises, zero substance. It’s amazing how many people keep worshipping at the altar of this system when nobody can actually prove it makes steady money.

So I’ll ask the question everyone’s too polite (or too deluded) to ask: is anyone here actually making real, consistent profits with this circus act of a system? Or are we all just role-playing traders on demo accounts and patting ourselves on the back for spotting ā€œmini dotsā€?

Yeah, I know this post will probably get deleted because it breaks the echo chamber, but whatever. I’d rather be blunt and call it what it is: overrated, overhyped, and utterly useless for serious traders.

I agree with your that statement because i have read almost all the pages in MT4 and MT5 Xard System. Even myself asking why Xard as a creator not making official video or pdf for the system he's giving it away for free. No hate for the xard and community.

INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES

Individual differences refer to the unique characteristics and traits that distinguish one person from another. These variations are the focus of a branch of psychology known as differential psychology. The concept is based on the idea that humans differ in measurable and meaningful ways, and these differences are relatively stable over time.

Key Domains of Individual Differences 🧠
Individual differences can be observed and studied across various domains, including:

Personality: This is one of the most widely studied areas. It involves a person's characteristic patterns of thought, emotion, and behavior. A popular framework is the Big Five personality traits:

Openness to experience: A person's curiosity, imagination, and willingness to try new things.

Conscientiousness: A person's level of organization, responsibility, and diligence.

Extraversion: A person's sociability, assertiveness, and energy level.

Agreeableness: A person's compassion, cooperativeness, and trustworthiness.

Neuroticism: A person's tendency to experience negative emotions like anxiety and sadness.

Intelligence: This refers to a person's cognitive abilities, such as problem-solving skills, reasoning, and the capacity to learn from experience. While some early theories proposed a single, general intelligence factor (g-factor), modern views recognize multiple forms of intelligence, like emotional intelligence or Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences.

Learning Styles: People differ in how they acquire and process information. Some learn best through visual aids, others through auditory instruction, and some through hands-on, kinesthetic experiences.

Motivation and Interests: The factors that drive people's behavior and the things they are passionate about vary greatly. This includes career interests, hobbies, and personal values.

Physical and Biological Characteristics: Differences in physical appearance, athletic ability, age, and genetics also contribute to individual variation. For example, some people are more naturally inclined toward certain sports due to their physical makeup.

Why Are Individual Differences Important? 🧐
Understanding individual differences is crucial in many fields, including:

Education: Teachers can tailor their instructional methods to better suit students' diverse learning styles, abilities, and motivational needs.

Business and Management: Managers can use this knowledge to build more effective teams, improve communication, and place employees in roles that leverage their unique strengths.

Clinical Psychology: Therapists recognize that while certain disorders have common symptoms, each person's experience is unique. Acknowledging individual differences helps in developing personalized and effective treatment plans.

Social Psychology: It helps explain why different people react to the same situation in unique ways and why certain individuals are more susceptible to social influences.

Just keep in mind that it's a free system, so there can't be any guarantees. Xard must have put countless hours into building this. Will it give everyone consistent results? I'm more than skeptical. If it did, this forum would be overflowing with success stories, but people are often reluctant to admit when things don't work out, and self-delusion is a common trait in the trading environment.

Nevertheless, it's a great foundation for beginners. If you tweak it a bit by adjusting a few things and adding some of the great creations from this forum, you can make it work well for you. By "you" I don't mean you specifically. :D

Thanks, boytoy, this is at least a start and exactly the kind of thing I was hoping to see when I first posted. A Myfxbook account is miles better than cherry-picked screenshots.

That said, I’m still a bit sceptical about whether this is actually traded purely with the Xard system. Without the full Myfxbook link to review trades, and ideally tie them back to visible Xard entries, it’s impossible to know for sure.

If that link exists, it would be great to share it. Otherwise, even if this account is only partially Xard-based, at least it shows there might be a way to make something tradeable out of it. That’s more than I’ve seen so far. thx

Hi Pipninja,

No, this account is not based on the XARD trading system. It's based on the Beats V5 trading system. The earlier systems were initially based on the XARD trading system, but it has evolved to its current version. Nothing is perfect or ideal for traders, but we try our best to have a manageable system. Then, using the most essential human emotion required for trading, patience, we combine it with excellent risk management, giving us the greatest probability of success, which is unfortunately NEVER guaranteed. ;-)
