Hi everyone, i am a bit confused while following XAUUSD price going up every day for several weeks now, and down arrows and red dots still showing up (while climbing), i am wondering how do you handle this situation ? using bigger TF maybe ? for now xard system shows false trend reversal several times a day and i am not sure what's the best way to handle this. does one should use vwap line before opening position ? (XAUUSD is far above vwap for quite long now)

so i have experimented something which worked fine :

ensuring uptrend on roadmap (M30) i have waited for a blue big dot on trigger tf (M1), despite previous down arrow, the green mini dot just above big dot, with SL just below big dot, then opened a position. the price went up as expected.
shame i had to cut my position late at night, because the price sky rocketed after asian market opening (1 am here in France)

XU_TDI was climbing up from below 50% on trigger tf when i opened my position

If you need a definite answer when to exit and enter than you need alghoritmic strategy (with is not that easy to create and forget about EA's from MQL store it's a waste of time).

supply & demand blocks on roadmap tf could be a good spot

Try to search for hidden divergences (RSI, Stoch, MACD) in lows during an uptrend to find entry points for continuation.

I found this trading journal here in forex-station, unfortunately it seems to be discontinued but the content are very insightful.
for me, understanding market structure really help.

Nasdaq setup London which somehow managed to miss. Let's see where this ends up. ATH again?

Before the appearance of the small green dot and the blue K-line, I might have considered a bearish bias.

Bear in mind that those are not live trades.

I agree with you. Testing indicators that change their readings depending on the price based on historical data is wrong. This will not be the case in live trading. The dots will appear in the wrong place, take profits and stop losses will be different.

That's why there are always at least 2 screenshots, 1st screenshot when it being analyzed and 2nd screenshot when the trade was taken.
You should also read his analysis, then you'll get better understanding.
If you look carefully, the dots did change place as shown in each screenshots. That's why I find it insightful.

But then again, what I find useful, might not be the case for other.

They are trades taken in a simulation. Caveat emptor.
