A couple of pages back, I introduced the "Harmonic Fractal Trading System" – the philosophy. Recently, I shared a glimpse of the "XARD - Harmonic Trend Following System" – the framework. Now, let's connect them.

The first post was about the "why": the market's patterns are fractal. The second post was about the "how", introducing a system that lets you find your harmonic comfort zone within that fractal reality.

The Bridge: Fractals in Action:
Think of Sema3 as the higher timeframe trend—the major cycle that gives you direction. It's the "big picture" some traders see on a daily chart. Now, think of Sema2 as the lower timeframe rhythm—the retracements and swings that provide entry points. It's the precise action other traders spot on an hourly or 15-minute chart.

This is the fractal harmony in practice:
The relationship between Sema2 and Sema3 is identical to the relationship between a lower and higher timeframe chart.

The "virtual stop" that trails from Sema3 to Sema2 levels is a dynamic application of respecting this fractal market structure. You're not just placing a random stop; you're anchoring it to a significant level on the next higher timeframe in your trading rhythm.

In Essence:
My approach isn't about chasing noise. It's about:
Identifying the dominant cycle (Sema3/Higher TF) for bias.
Finding the harmonic entry (Sema2/Lower TF) within your comfort zone.
Managing risk at structural fractal boundaries where the market's narrative truly changes.

My Current Trade: A Live Example
Right now, I'm in a SELL trade on Gold on the 6-minute chart. I patiently waited for the Sema2 set to align with the current Sema3 top-down arrow.

A 1-minute scalper could have had a field day with the Sema1 sets that lined up before my Sema2 signal. And all those Orange Sema1 Dots would have shown up as Pink Sema2 continuation Dots. But the 1-minute TF is out of my comfort zone, so I don't trade it.

The key takeaway? The exact same fractal presence that the 1-minute scalper sees, I see perfectly on my 6-minute chart. My risk tolerance and execution timing are simply calibrated to a different harmonic scale. I find higher timeframes like the 1-hour or Daily are also outside my zone—they move too slowly.

The 6-minute chart is my Goldilocks timeframe. It's the harmonic sweet spot that allows me to create a doubling effect in weeks and compound on that effect in months.

I tend to trade Gold & Dow from a 6m TF as my sweet spot. Other traders, like Musashi, trade ASX200 & HK50 from a 3m TF and hit their 8-15% daily targets—it's their sweet spot. You have to find yours.

This is the system in motion:
Trading with the trend, entering with the rhythm, and managing with the structure—all within the fractal harmony that suits you.

NB: The candles were wrong in the previous chart—still working on the code. Hence the reason it has not been posted yet.

Thank you for your word.

I just want to ask; where is the sema 2 on the screenshot. I may miss something ...

Well, my quest for the ultimate living room setup has reached its finale. After hitting a wall with Samsung's Tizen OS (no sideloading of goodies), the solution became clear -- I'm going for a 98" TCL 4K 144Hz TV.

Here's why this is the perfect fix:
It Runs Android TV: This was non-negotiable. I can sideload all the apps directly via Downloader. No more being locked down.
The Specs Are Monster: 144Hz/288 gaming mode refresh rate means buttery-smooth motion that the Nvidia Shield Pro could no longer handle (capped at 60hz). It future-proofs the setup.

The Minimalist Dream is Back: With a native Android OS, I can ditch the external box. It's one clean, massive screen running everything natively.
But here's the best part. I originally wanted to make the TV wall an accent wall but my grown-up daughters vetoed the idea immediately.

So, voila! I present to you the new, approved accent wall: a 98-inch TCL beast (sometimes you have to compromise)
Plus setting it up for perfect picture is an easy YT vid walk through -- and I can play my Xbox account and steam so that keeps the grand kids happy when they visit.

I could not believe that I could get a TV with an open OS. And sometimes, the best design compromises are the ones that come with a remote control :-)

The 98-inch minimalist accent wall is ordered. The prep work is now done and the decorating can finally begin!

For those of you using a Firestick try Downloader Unlinked.link
it comes with IpSwitch (or you can use your own VPN).
It's great for live tv, tv on demand plus all your movies and tv shows.
Best,
