Yes, this is very convenient... I've noticed it from the beginning but in doubt if those bars really appear in real time.

the doubt is not only yours, it happens to me too that's why I highlighted this photo, you could say it was in real time, that's why I wanted to share, we should share these moments so that they can be useful to everyone,

Looking promising...

Then this is really a breakthrough in my opinion... No more hesitation... Apart of pattern, those bars is the perfect confirmation...
Too bad I cannot find it for MT5
But, comes to think of it, I probably can create something similar...

Xard do you happen to have an MT5 version of the double TMA channel?

PS: the chromatic effect is a piece of art.
XARD: I don't, but give a shout out to XXXX in case he has.

Updated to 20250222-Setup

Core Setup:
XU-XARDFX: Your powerhouse indicator, blending TMA2 bands, Semafor dots, Heiken Ashi (HA) candles, and T1MA trend lines. In v4.6, it’s lean (there is a strength display which I am still working on).
BarsPercent=100.0, now adjustable, set to 30% or 15% for speed;
XU-ZZ-v1.1: Plots black ZigZag lines to mark key pivots, syncing with XARDFX’s signals for confirmation.

Timeframe Flow:
Start on higher TFs (30M) to spot the big picture—trend direction and major pivots via ZZ and TMA2 slope.
Drop to 5M/1M for precision entries/exits, aligning short-term moves with the broader bias.

Key Signals:
TMA2 Bands: Price hitting upper/lower bands signals overextension—watch for reversals or breakouts. Slope (buffer 14) sets trend bias (up > 0, down < 0).
Semafor Dots: Multi-period dots (10, 50, 250, etc.) flag swing highs/lows. Bigger dots (e.g., S5, gold) on M30 confirm ZZ pivots; smaller ones (S1, green/red) on 5M time entries.
HA Candles: Blue (bullish) or orange-red (bearish) bars show momentum—trade with color shifts aligned with TMA2/T1MA.
T1MA Trend: EMA (26-period) sets direction—price above (blue) is bullish, below (red) bearish. Crosses signal entries/exits.
ZZ Pivots: Black lines lock in support/resistance—trade bounces or breaks when Semafor and HA agree.

Execution:
Entry: Look for confluence—e.g., price bounces off TMA2 lower band on 5M, HA turns blue, T1MA goes bullish, Semafor dot forms, ZZ pivot holds. Reverse for shorts.
Exit: Take profit at opposite TMA2 band, next ZZ pivot, or when HA flips/T1MA crosses against you.
Pairs: NDX100 for tech swings, XAUUSD for volatility, GBPJPY for pips.

Style: Scalping to short-term swings—fast 1M scalps or 30M trend rides, depending on market heat.

Why It Works for You
Visual Clarity: XARDFX’s all-in-one (TMA2, Semafor, HA, T1MA) plus ZZ’s clean pivots cut through noise—perfect for your drop-down trading method.
Flexibility: Scales from M30 bias to 5M precision.
Speed: v4.6’s lean build keeps MT4 humming along.
Enjoy!

PS I double checked, no mismatched buffers this time.

Updated to XU-20250224 Setup

Removed TMA Channel in favour of EMA Ribbon
Added matching EMA Histogram to the mix.
Synced to be used with TFs 30m, 15m, 5m, and 1m
Enjoy!
Best,

Hello everyone, thanks for your great contributions to the trading community. I see in this thread there are different versions, obviously OP Xard always improves the tools and indicators so that people can trade better and easier, I am very grateful for that.

I just have a few small questions, maybe it is a bit silly, hope you understand.

Is there any XU version suitable for H1 or H4 time frame?

When using XU version v22 it makes FTMO MT4 slow even though the computer CPU is only working at 5%. And if I install EA position size calculator on XU chart, MT4 will crash. Which Trade Manager are you using with XU, please suggest me.
Thank you very much everyone.

XARD: Thanks for the feedback, I will introduce MaxBars = 3000 (default setting) in the user's input menu on ALL chart indicators in the next setup. You will be able to reduce that figure from 3000 to say 1700 and you should notice a big difference in lag time. I will also make the next setup H4/H1 friendly for trading.
