What does it say?
You need to always use a higher timeframe to do your analysis.
You then connect to it using a shorter timeframe.
Surely, you can't be making trading decisions based solely on a 1min chart.
That's a recipe for disaster.
Only a matter of time!

Re: XARD - Simple Trend Following Trading System
19144Hello everyone, 
It's been a few weeks since I last interacted with this community. I hope your year has started well in every aspect!
Unfortunately, that's not the case for me. I've been going through a tough time for about a month and a half, with problems piling up. I'm reaching my limits, but I'm holding on despite the difficulty and mental fatigue.
(My life cycle is clearly at a low point right now, but as with all cycles, it will rise again at some point — we just don’t know when.)
The only positive news amidst this chaos is that I validated my FTMO prop firm account on December 31 by focusing solely on second dot triangles in M5 and looking for entries in M1.
However, for the past two weeks, I haven't been able to generate any profit and I'm dangerously close to the maximum loss limit. If I exceed it, I'll lose my account.
I now realize that it's essential for me to deepen my knowledge of the XARD system because trading triangles alone isn't enough.
Here's my plan to recover:
1. Pause my real account and switch temporarily to a demo account to fully master the XARD system.
2. Take the ADR and open line into account, which I previously neglected.
3. Try to validate the demo account again by strictly following the rules.
The road ahead looks challenging, but I hope I can count on your support one last time to get through this difficult situation.

Re: XARD - Simple Trend Following Trading System
19145Yes... ofc i have been there as well... i didn't trade Xard in my real account for like i think 6-7 months.. until i understand it.. then i came to realise that its a trend following system which basically not only trade after a triangle is form or any second but trade overall the trend... which was basically the simple core part of the system yet i miss that point... now i only trade only when all the indicators aligned..i wish you GoodluckVakarox wrote: Wed Jan 29, 2025 1:59 am Hello everyone,

Re: XARD - Simple Trend Following Trading System
19146Guys, stop trading on the 1min. Even for advanced and experienced traders the 1min TF is very risky. Last month I started trading mainly on the 30-minute TF and I haven't been losing trades. Sure, I'll only get 3-5 trades a week, sometimes 6 if I'm lucky, but the consistency is much better plus I get a good amount of pips per trade to compensate for the fewer trades. Just try trading on the 30/15-minute while following the 4H trend especially if you are a beginner/intermediate trader and I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

Re: XARD - Simple Trend Following Trading System
19150Perfect setup at the DOT level?
1 Square
2 Arrow in the direction of the square
3 Large pink dot
4 Small dot (a second small red dot appeared right after)
We go below the open line. (white line)
Now we just have to wait for the 15% ADR to sell.
Thoughts?
