Has anyone ever built an EA for the Xard system?

With all the rules like 2nd dot, below/above daily open, stop loss above/below the last dot or semaphore, take profit when candle turns gray, the system is perfect for this.

I found some old EA's for Xard's system on MQL5 but they don't seem to work anymore.

Thanks to Chatgpt, I was able to convert the Semaphore indicator from version 4 to version 5. The difference between this indicator and Xard's is that you can choose whether or not you want confirmed signals, thereby avoiding many false signals that end up being repainted.
I asked Chatgpt to take it to MT4, but, I haven't had good results.
I leave you the mq4 file in case someone can fix it.

Each time I get into the one minute abyss, usually I get wrecked. Perhaps should get the challenge again
