Gold is super bullish, I took 2 buys trades.

Moving averages, pivots, ADR, open day line, all is bullish, having an arrow does not mean sell, specially on 1M charts!

Today only buys on Mr. Gold.

As Cagliostro said, gold was bullish and only bullish was acceptable. now take a look at the 5-minute chart and 15min .This is example of crypto SOLANA and GOLD 5min chart, SemaArrow 2nd dot and minidots. Just read all the rules to understand how it works.

Hello crazyfly,

Remember the strategy is like read a book. You have a bad today, not a problem, but the persistence and work everyday

But read all history of the that, if you have a template, don't ignore, respect all indicators and step by step you start to understand the logic. Is not necessary open a orders in first time, only watch the patterns. On post #1 read with attention, there a lot of information, can be helpful in your journey.

Suggestion, start a journal, with your errors and mistakes you have so far. That way you won't do it again next time.

What do you think?

M1 M5 It is imperative to understand that the semafors can and will move. They are ONLY part of the picture, while we wait for all of our indicators to align. Some exceptions will be made for pullback/counter trend entries...that is only for those that have a full understanding of their indicators + market structure awareness. Until that understanding is achieved, learn the basic set-up.

The only possible sell entry on that M1 chart is after the 1st down arrow, when price crosses below Daily Open, MA's cross, the G-Channel turns red and the mindset would be scalp and get out when SemaArrow appears against me. But that is not one to take. The M5 shows a pullback followed by consolidation, with a double bottom on the horizon at a previous semafor.

On the M1 chart we can see a classic Xard semafor pattern taking shape for a buy entry with the Blue Square>>Red Arrow>>Blue Arrow. A more risky buy entry is given after that 1st Blue Arrow>>Daily Open and MA cross, although still not an A+ set-up. The 1st preferred entry is after the 2nd Black Semafor. The next preferred entry is the 2nd Black Semafor after the 2nd Blue Arrow.

Price is consistently trading above the Daily Open and the H4 Open Lines, the MA's are mostly showing buy and the G-Channel is staying on a buy bias as well. I would expect any Red Arrow or Red Square that appears in this type of scenerio to give way and get pushed up with price.

You must learn/find a way to determine the intraday bias. If you can't determine what that is, do not open any trades. The quick visual for me is the G-Channel indicator set to the M15 time frame and a 36 period. It is available on these boards and also a few pages back where i shared some thoughts on my template. Xard is coming out with a new version soon and the same will be accomplished with his new VWAP indicator. The sense of relief and freedom when you understand and find an excellent intraday bias is absolutely priceless! Combined with an understanding of the bread and butter Xard set-up and patience, you will be well on your way.

Find the bias
Then wait for the set-up to come to you
SquareSema>>
Opposite Arrow>>
Arrow in direction of Square>>
1st medium Sema in opposition to Square>>
Medium Sema in direction of Square
Where is Daily Open Line?
What are the MA's saying?
Is price at or above/below ADR Buy/Sell(15%) level?

Until ALL of those conditions are met, there is no A+ set-up. Folks new to Xard's system need to start with the A+ set-up. Learn to recognize that and learn the nuances of the Semafor movement. Learn when the chart is telling you that SquareArrow that is confusing you, is likely to move and get down graded to form that beautiful set-up. Beginners can benefit greatly from going up a time frame or 2 when those daunting opposite Semafors appear. It can greatly increase the visual awareness and can really help take the confusion away when you go back to your "entry" time frame.
