There's tons of examples here on the thread that xard and lots of contributors provide, but if you don't practice live, and experience screentime, this strategy will not sink in.

Trading is not easy, but this strategy is one of the closest approach to constantly win over the market. It's just, we all need screentime, screentime, screentime...

The Xard Universe - A Trader's Dream
Imagine a universe where trading isn't just about numbers and charts, but about recognizing patterns in a cosmic dance of cycles within cycles.
Welcome to the Xard Universe, where simplicity meets profitability.

The Foundation:
In this universe, we trade using fractals, self-similar patterns that echo through time.
These patterns are marked by zigzag sequences, each assigned numbers like 36, 144, and 576.
Here's how we visualize them:
Pink/DodgerBlue for the zigzag at 36, symbolizing the start of our journey.
Red/Blue for the arrow zigzag at 144, pointing us towards opportunity.
Gray/Gray for the square cycle-to-cycle zigzag at 576, representing the completion of one cycle and the beginning of another.

The Strategy:
The key to thriving in the Xard Universe is trading from the Pink/DodgerBlue 2nd Dot to the Red/Blue Arrow Dot. This move captures the most significant price movements, turning the chaos of markets into a symphony of order. Here's where patience becomes your greatest ally, waiting for these pivotal moments to unfold within each cycle, transforming consistent Pip$ into wealth that exceeds your wildest dreams.

Intra-day Trading:
For those of us diving into the daily grind, we refine this strategy further. We operate on time frames from 15 minutes down to 1 minute, meticulously planning our trades using the 2nd Dot Entry to Arrow Dot. Each day, we set a target, not just to meet but to exceed, compounding our gains over time. This isn't just trading; it's an art where every traded day counts, turning what might start as a modest fund into a formidable wealth machine.

The Analysis:
Simplicity is Strength: The Xard Universe demystifies trading by distilling complex market behaviors into understandable, repeatable patterns. This clarity makes the strategy accessible, even to those new to trading.
Quantifiable Success: Every trade, every day, is a step towards your financial goals. The precision with which we can plan, execute, and review our trades in this system is unparalleled, offering a clear path from small beginnings to substantial gains.
Patience Pays: In a world that often demands instant results, the Xard Universe teaches us the power of waiting for the right moment. This not only builds discipline but also ensures that when opportunities arise, we're ready to capitalize on them fully.

Motivation:
Think of each day as another chapter in your story of success, a new page in your book of achievements. With each cycle, you're not just trading; you're crafting a legacy of wealth from the simple, yet profound, movements within the Xard Universe. Whether you're an aspiring trader or someone looking to refine your skills, here lies the blueprint to turn your trading into a journey towards financial freedom. Embrace the patterns, master the patience, and watch as your dreams of wealth become your reality. Let the Xard Universe guide you to riches beyond your imagination.

Trading should never feel like you're stuck in the endless loop of holiday jingles at the mall; instead, it should be the thrill of catching snowflakes on your tongue, sustainable like the tradition of hanging stockings, and satisfying as the warmth of sipping hot cocoa. In the Xard Universe, if trading isn't sparking joy, you might just need to shake up your snow globe a bit.

This tickles my tummy with so much excitement for the days and years ahead.
The Market moves of late have been simply fascinating.
The recent Bitcoin moves have simply blown my mind.
Nowhere near such moves by the DAX.
Now I'm being tempted to having a second look at Bitcoin.

I spent majority of the weekend doing chart analysis on Bitcoin.
The ATR is quite impressive.
It's done a whooping 3,597 points today!
Currently, the 10-period ATR of each timeframe stands at:
M1=99
M5=250
M15=355
M30=467
H1=755
H4=1232
Though it's got huge profit potential, BUT as professionals, we should FOCUS on potential losses as well.
Now I see why many traders trade the M1 chart on Bitcoin.

I'm currently toying with the idea of pairing M5 with M30
My DAX strategies seem to work very well on these timeframes.
1) Identify the M30 trend
2) Wait for a retracement against the M30 trend using the M5 chart
3) Get in when the M30 trend resumes

Daily Pre-Trading Routine:

Before the markets open, I dive into the 30-minute chart for each currency pair I plan to trade. Here's how I do it:

Identifying Echoes in Time: I look for patterns or "echoes" where historical price actions repeat, which could hint at future movements. This includes:
Watching for recurring support and resistance levels.
Noting the Arrow Dots on each pair to gauge potential reversal or continuation signals.
Identifying if these echoes form part of a zigzag square formation, particularly in the last two squares, to predict which will break first.
Establishing the Move: I methodically move forward through the chart to assess:
The dominant trend or momentum, which sets my expectations for the day's trading.

Once I've decoded the 30-minute chart:

Honing in on the 5-Minute Chart: I then transition to the 5-minute chart for a more detailed analysis:
Aligning short-term price movements with the trends observed on the 30-minute chart.
Monitoring for breakout opportunities or trend confirmations as the day evolves.
Synchronicity Across Pairs: I extend this analysis across all my tracked pairs to catch any correlations or divergences, enhancing my market overview.

Intraday Trading Strategy:

Visualizing the Break: With insights from both charts, I visualize:
Where and how the price might break out.
Anticipating directional moves based on a blend of signals from both timeframes.
Spotting signs of market exhaustion or momentum spikes that could signal an imminent breakout.
Execution and Reaction: Throughout the trading day:
I confirm my predictions with actual price action or technical indicators before entering trades.
I aim to trade in the direction I've forecasted, targeting quick, incremental gains that sum up to my daily target.

Additional Considerations:

Risk Management: I use virtual stop-losses to cap potential losses, adjusting them as the market moves favorably.
Market News: I stay alert to economic news or events that might alter market sentiment, potentially disrupting technical setups.
Adaptability: I remain flexible, ready to pivot my strategy if the market doesn't behave as expected. Echoes can mislead in volatile environments.

Session-Based Trading Example:

At 07:00hrs, I analyze the DAX in Frankfurt, focusing on moves into the UK session's first half.
Transition to Gold and trade towards the US session, looking for opportunities.
Then, I shift attention to the Dow as the US session's start.
Lastly, I watch Bitcoin from 22:00 to 01:00hrs, capitalizing on any significant movements.

This approach blends a long-term understanding with immediate market reactions, aiming for quick, profitable trades that accumulate to my daily goal. Remember, the success of this method hinges on accurate pattern recognition and the ability to adapt to the ever-changing market dynamics. 2nd Dot formations help identify potential moves to the analysis that has been done.

It's the little things that make the difference. It all adds up.

How do you approach the V12m TRIANGLE?

Every response from experienced traders is valuable to me, as it provides diverse perspectives that I can incorporate into my 'Square Arrow' strategy.

If you could share your approach in a personal way, it would help me better understand your methods and adapt them to my own trading. Thank you in advance!

Two emotions constantly plague Traders: Fear & Greed.
Better to err on the side of greed than on the side of fear, in this trading business...lol
