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.

The last thing I want to ask, does anyone live in Asia? What pairs do you trade in Asia session? Or should we only trade London and US session?
Thank you very much everyone.
I think your calculator also works with buttons. In my experience, using buttons in indicators can cause crashes when buttons are also used in an EA (Expert Advisor).
It's best to run the EA in a separate, empty window.

i have thought about that solution too, i am using 43inch monitor with 10 charts open at the same time (5 pairs) so that will be the last solution if i can't find a suitable EA for XU. Maybe i should buy another small monitor just to place orders on it.
Thanks for your help!

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.

I am very grateful for what you have shared here, you are really generous.
While waiting for the HTF version I will read all the pages in this thread, there are definitely many things that I have not learned, it comes from experienced traders here.

TMA Centered Channel is a repainting indicator, however the part that repaint is in the past (Back painting ??), the channel will gradually reposition itself as new data from new candles arrive.
I've been observing and trading it on M5 for a few days now, as long as you focus on we-are-already-familiar-with XARD basic rules, square + arrow + 2nd big dot + 2nd mini dot, this channel gives good entry confirmation by observing the histogram attach to outer part of the channel.
I can share 2 warnings:
* Never enter a trade ONLY based on those ribbon/histogram... You'll blow your account before you know it.
* Do not use it on M1 timeframe

The only question is outside channel blue pink ribbon repaint or calculate?
If yes, then how can you manage?

1900+ pages so sorry i can't read all.
Really appreciate for your time.

I've configured the Tools/Charts settings in MT4, setting the Max bars in history to 5000 and the Max bars in chart to 3500. For my indicators, I've now set the MaxBars to a default of 2500, and I’m not experiencing any lag issues so far. I’ll keep testing this setup throughout the week and will likely share an update over the weekend. I decided to use the EMA ribbon since it doesn’t recalculate (unlike the TMA ribbon). The EMA Histo functions similarly to the EMA Ribbon, which you can see in the 15-minute and 5-minute charts I’ve shown. Hopefully, this updated setup improves your intraday trading strategy!
Best,

Updating in progress...
It's all looking good, running faster and no recalculation after 1st bar with the EMA ribbon and new color theme.

If someone is interested in testing the dual TMA Bands on MT5, I recoded them from scratch and added an MTF function. By using the current and a higher TF for the fast and slow bands shows very interesting elements on the chart.
