Jackboton:For a trend, the candles on the lower timeframe (TF) must take precedence in coloring over those on the higher timeframe. Waiting for the higher TF candles to color before looking for entry points on the lower TF means entering five candles late (6-30m), thus missing the "head of the fish" and only catching the "body."SOLESHOE wrote: Tue Sep 02, 2025 2:52 am Hi XARD, just to be clear, do you consider candles color change on the roadmap tf or on the trigger tf ?
XARD: I consider both tfs as the roadmap tf tends to show direction before it has shown up on the trigger tf.
SOLESHOE: Ok, so one must first wait for candle color change on roadmap tf, then wait for same candle color to occur on trigger tf? (just sayin' because i sometimes tend to consider trigger as signal anticipation of roadmap tf, which is not obviously)

792Hi everyone,
Hope you are all well.
Thanks again for something outside the square XARD777!
I traded on another template today, and just unpacked your new present .
It looks good - Price, Candles and semaphores moving well and synchronised - semaphores seem to appear on the candle open and lock into the final position at the close of the candle.
Thank you & congratulations

May I ask what you consider the "Daily Open" for HK50?
By default the Open Line (and ADR) seem to be based on the broker's timeframe, and the settings don't allow for shifting it fractions of hours.
For example my broker's HK50 open is at 21:15 EST, while yours seems to be about 45 mins earlier, which has obvious implications for trade entries.
I have looked around the forum for answers, but came up empty, so would appreciate any insights.

Thank you

Re: 🔺 MT5 XARD - Simple Trend Following Trading System
795Hello everyone,
I’d like to ask for some help regarding multi-time frame analysis with the Xard system. I understand that we should build a kind of roadmap on the M5 chart, and then look for entries on M1, but honestly, I’m a bit lost on how to do this in practice.
Could you please explain how you analyze your charts on M5 before moving down to M1? What concrete steps do you follow to identify the trend, key zones, and then refine your entry?
Thanks a lot in advance for your advice and for sharing your experience.

Re: 🔺 MT5 XARD - Simple Trend Following Trading System
796Not sure how you can trade m1 with spreads but
Look for trend-lines breaks and retests and study them very well
Re: 🔺 MT5 XARD - Simple Trend Following Trading System
797Perhaps a good place to start is simply to use the M5 anchored VWAP for the trend and trade M1 only in that direction.Vakarox wrote: Wed Sep 10, 2025 11:27 pm Hello everyone,

On M1, once an Arrow Dot forms (it will be a Big Dot on M5) it is likely at or near a key level - check a naked chart to see if it has run stops or some other "liquidity level" on H1 / M15.
For your entry on M1, wait for a close and retrace beyond the EMAs - sometimes it rockets off without forming "2nd dots", sometimes the "2nd dots come into play.
Depending on what you're trading, the timing of your entry can be important. Example this morning (Thursday) on NQ and other US indicies where key level M1 Arrow Dot (H1 order block on NQ, H1 low on ES) was hit before London and the long entry after 2nd Dot (a mini dot) was shortly after the London 7am. First target would be the M1 Arrow Dot on the other side of the range which it hit before London Open at 8am (and still still going strong).
I don't want to come across as if I know what the hell I'm talking about, cos maybe I don't, but I have been watching Xard's system on and off for years and am familiar with PA, and in my view it an excelllent system to keep you on-side without over complicating things.

798Xard777, first of his name, Herder of Market Echoes, Ternary Pioneer, I can’t believe I was actually able to sit through this news release and watch every candle in real time… no lag.
For perspective even my MT4 lags with nothing on the chart
I had my issues with MT5 at first and quickly learned less is more as long as my confluences aligned, but they were lagging due to my pc handling the computations rather slowly.
Thank you, this has made me want to code, perhaps after I finish my classes.
Wow
