Something I rarely see shared by traders is multiple entries. It gets with experience and confidence. Don't be scared to trust the system and your decisions. Here we have clear downtrend in higher TF (5 and 15), DXY index was bouncing up and a lovely Xard setup with multiple bearish level supporting the trade idea (PS: Murrey lines also super extended at +2/8 when the star appeared. It resulted in a nice and safe sell scalp on GU. It will likely go lower to 1.291 but have to go to lunch so get the money and run ;)

Have a lovely weekend folks.

THE ART OF THE DOUBLE
"In order to create the DOUBLE you must first seek order within the chaos, hidden in plain sight lies the Arrow Dot to Arrow Dot path, trade the pattern, create the DOUBLE. Rinse and repeat ad infinitum".

"Let the light shine and illuminate your trading world and with it secure your financial prosperity"

Xard777

Breaking it down...
Seek order within the chaos: This suggests looking for patterns or rules in a situation or data set that initially appears random or disorganized.

Hidden in plain sight: The solution or the next step might be obvious once you understand what to look for, but it's easy to overlook without the right perspective.

Arrow Dot to Arrow Dot path: This could refer to following a sequence or connecting points (dots) where each point or "arrow" leads to the next in a predictable manner. In trading or data analysis, this might mean identifying a sequence of events or data points that predictably follow each other.

Trade the pattern: If this is indeed related to trading, it implies that once you've identified the pattern, you should act according to this pattern, possibly making decisions based on this observed sequence.

Create the DOUBLE: This might refer to doubling your investment, doubling down on a strategy, or perhaps creating a mirrored pattern or trade.
Rinse and repeat ad infinitum: Continue applying this method or strategy indefinitely.

This quote encapsulates a mindset where success in trading or finance isn't just about following the herd or reacting to immediate market changes but about deeply understanding the market's movements, your own psychology, and employing a strategy that's enlightened by thorough research and insight.

Continuous Learning: Stay updated with financial education, market trends, and economic indicators.

Use of Tools: Employ analytical tools for technical analysis or fundamental analysis to discern patterns or undervalued assets.

Emotional Control: Keep your emotions in check; fear and greed should not dictate your trading decisions.

Long-term Perspective: Even if you engage in short-term trading, always align your actions with long-term financial goals.

Ethical Trading: Let integrity guide your actions. The 'light' should also shine on your ethical practices in trading, ensuring you're not just profitable but also fair in your dealings.

Networking: Sometimes, the light comes from the wisdom shared by others. Engage with communities, forums, or mentors who can shed light on aspects you might not see.

In essence, this statement encourages a holistic approach to trading where success is not just about making money but about doing so with understanding, integrity, and foresight. With wisdom comes understanding... Pay It Forward my good man, Pay It Forward.

I don't really understand that post you are referring, but give it a brief explanation and it might make sense to you.

The zigzags are just as important as other elements of each version of "XARD - Simple Trend Following Trading System", so if you have a colored ball when you find a second one with that pattern, that's what you're looking for. Because if they exist in this or other versions, it's for a reason, so much so that there are several numbers for them because it's to help us simplify reading the charts.

Make sense?
Firstly, I want to express my gratitude to this amazing community and especially to Xard for generously sharing this powerful trading system. I’m also extremely thankful to Curioso for his guidance and support in helping members clarify concepts.

I've been reading through previous posts to grasp the system, but I find myself increasingly confused. I would be very grateful if someone could explain what signals I should focus on to determine the trade bias on the M15 chart.

To clarify my questions, I've recorded a video on XAUUSD where I marked vertical lines to illustrate how the Semafors appear on higher time frames. In the video, I start with the D1 and move down to M15, where I intend to place my trades.

My Main Query:
What should be the specific trigger for an entry on M15, considering the trends and signals from the D1, H4, and H1 time frames?
Observations

D1
The largest Square Semafor is attached to the Orange ZZ line.
Down Square and Down Arrow are red.
Candles are grey, positioned between the moving averages.
A green dot (Semafor 9) has formed, with one additional candle after it.
Signal in the upper right corner: WAIT.

H4
The largest Square Semafor is attached to the Orange ZZ line, with Down Square and Down Arrow in red.
The Blue Dot (Semafor 36) is attached to the white ZZ line.
Candles are orange and below the daily open line.
Signal: SELL.

H1
Orange and White ZZ lines are attached to the Blue Arrow (Semafor 144).
Down Square is red; Up Arrow is green.
Candles are orange, and price is below the daily open.
Signal: SELL.

M15
Both Orange and White ZZ lines are attached to the Blue Square Arrow (Semafor 576).
Semafors 36 appear in pink, blue, and pink along the White ZigZag line.
Down Square and Up Arrow are green.
Signal: WAIT.
Candles are orange, below the moving average and daily open.

XARD: Yes, use the Orange ZigZag line on the 15m chart as your intra day bias. WAIT! for the candle colour change on your first trade and take additional trades off the 2nd dots (2,4,6...) that appear off the bias 15m ZZ line.

Yes, you are correct the bias is down on M15 and below, the H1 and H4 have not shown a second dot as yet. So time to sit on your hands and wait for the H1. The yellow lines indicate resistance levels off the previous highs which may or may not be a level for a new high.
The Orange ZZ line connects the Orange Perimeter Dots, as per my post above trade away from the Orange ZZ/Perimter Dots when you have a confirmed trend change.

I’d be really appreciative if someone could clarify what "trading away from the Orange ZZ/Perimeter Dots" truly means in terms of entry criteria. I hope to start gaining pips soon, knowing it’ll take time to fully understand this system.

Sorry once again for my lengthy post.
Thanks to everyone, and I wish you all a profitable trading week!

Hello mazibee,

I understand your concern, but I didn't want to change your logic.

But in my configuration I take into account all the elements available in each version and I don't add or remove anything. It should be noted that with each version we have available, we have to adjust our mindset. It can happen, for example, that some versions don't work according to your trading style.

I mentioned a few posts ago that while I was studying logic, it was very hard for me to see new versions and to see many members succeeding, some I haven't seen for a while and I'd like to see them again because they're very inspiring, and in addition to the tips from the master xard777, you also have ODJ, Coolcrow, XXXX and others of reference who I really enjoy reading their posts and even today I turn to them to reread when I have doubts about something, because they're very detailed in the way they've written to us.

So I'm going to leave this space open so that these friends can give you a better explanation of the importance of zigzags and whether you should be able to apply them to your system or not.
