if I can give you some advice, even if I'm not an expert, use the zig zag that xard sent on the 30 minutes especially near the daily opening, based on how the zig zag line is positioned, act on the second point at 5 minutes, try this day after day, I also have difficulty on one minute, even if curious he is giving it his all

I've diligently work through most of the instructions and rules of this noble trading system, but the only gray area for me is to fully comprehend the working principle of the semaphore.
Please Mr curioso and other knowledgeable people in this system should kindly help by pointing me to where I can learn or to kindly explain. The picture above depict some of my confusion about when a square semaphore direction is confirmed, or the continuation of the existing square semaphore with that green arrow semaphore.
Thanks, wishing you success in all your endeavours.

I can't remember which Curioso's video showing to trade against square semafor, but anyway, just follow his post where you should trade in alignment with square semafor, remember, this is a Simple Trend Following Trading System...

In Curioso's videos, he tries to trade on the side of the square.
For example: if the square is a blue semaphore with an upward arrow, he will look to sell...

But in this post above, the square is pink with a downward arrow, yet he is also looking to sell...

I DON’T UNDERSTAND, PLEASE HELP ME!

If you are only focus on blue square semafor and 2 arrow semafors (red and blue), you'll realize that the blue arrow basically is the 2nd dot of the blue square semafor and it is your clue to look for buy trade.
However you are trying to trade the pullback (against the trend) and your entry point is already way too late...

What do you think of this:

1 I see my square arrow, and I want to reach it. So, I’m looking for a sell setup.
2 Appearance of my downward arrow, I should start heading in the right direction.
3 Appearance of the large blue DOT.
4 Appearance of the large pink DOT.
5 I wait for the 4th mini DOT.
6 Entry.

The safest way to trade this system is when you see down square semafor, ignore everything and wait until you see red/pink down arrow semafor, that's your clue to start looking for sell trade. 1 of the easiest signal is the 2nd pink dot.
Yes the wait is torturing I know , but you want a profitable trade, right?

Thank you for your answers.

Here is Curioso's video...
Look at the beginning and tell me if you see what I mean.

Did I miss something?

Thanks for your swift response, it's highly appreciated.
But, please a little bit of details will be appreciated, probably by using the posted picture. Eg.
1. The green arrow, does it confirm the continuation of the existing upward square semaphore.
2. The red dot, does it confirm the 2nd dot of the above down square semaphore.
3. The blue dot, does it confirm the 2nd dot of the green arrow.
4. The red arrow, does it confirm the continuation of the down square semaphore, if price cross below the moving average.
Please a little bit of details about these assumptions will bring clarity and direction to my trading of this system. Thanks.

Hey, refer to Curioso's post post1295537552.html#p1295537552
Everything was shared I only changed the solid colors for dot and mini dot so you can change as I did
I forgot to add the arrow indicator last time. However, as I wrote it is only used for scalping ( not for long moves ) with all conditions of xard universe.

Your 1st statement, "I see my square arrow, and I want to reach it. So, I’m looking for a sell setup", is the wrong mindset. You want to trade in the direction of the SquareArrow. If you are experienced and screentime limitations force you to look for pullback trades, that is OK. But it is more risky and experience will be your best friend.

My screen time can be quite limited at times. If I had gotten home from work and saw this chart shortly after the down arrow (#2 on your screen shot) I would look for the pullback trade only because it is an opportunity for me to make something in my limited time. I would enter after the MA cross, following the pink dot(#4). I suspect there may have been 2 more opportunities for me before your #3, based on the StepMA+HA indicator I use. With that being said, these pullbacks are of a scalp mindset and I would exit at a blue dot or blue arrow for each instance. If I had gotten home shortly after the blue arrow formed near the end of the chart, the sell scalps would probably be off the table and with the Daily Open Line above price, buys would probably be off the table as well. I would most likely move to another pair for an opportunity because this would be getting near the time of day where the market will start winding down due to NY close in sight.

You need to have an understanding of what you are trading as well. No one is expecting a big down move on Gold. If you have the time and can watch the market play out, the blue square, red arrow and blue arrow are your signals that a buy trade could be approaching. There is still work to be done though as price is still below the Daily Open Line.


This is BTC from this morning only to show the StepMA+HA indicator (small green and orange arrows, set at M5 TF) and the Hooligan H4 Open Line (black lines). Thank You, Budhi
