When analyzing the 1-minute timeframe, two key observations stand out with minimal analysis:

The VWAP250 line: On the ETHUSD 1-minute chart, the EMAS alert triggered. While it may have been slightly premature, it served as a valuable heads-up to monitor the situation closely. As the price crosses below the EMA Ribbon, every instinct urges you to initiate a SELL trade, especially given the downward BIAS indicated by the Pink VWAP250 line.

The EMAS indicator: As the price dips below the EMA Ribbon, it simultaneously crosses the EMAS, resulting in a shift to Orange Histo bars. This suggests we can remain in the trade longer until the price crosses back above the EMAS (in this case Price went up and produced white Mini Dot).
As Price crosses back over the EMAS we get another Alert (and Orange arrow), a continuation trade off the VWAP Pink BIAS.

In essence, a brief look at any timeframe allows us to spot the BIAS, pinpoint ideal trade entry points, and identify the best moments for exits and continuation trades. Emphasizing these elements feels both sensible and actionable. Take a peek at the ETHUSD 1-minute chart right now to see what I’m getting at—notice the white Mini Dots ABOVE the Pink VWAP250 line, signaling a prime SELLING opportunity. The reverse holds true for the Green VWAP250 line. Don’t just take my word for it—check the charts yourself and see it in action. A treasure trove of new possibilities is out there, ready for sharp, proactive traders to grab. That’s why I believe trading should be fun—capture the intraday trade, seize the moment!
Best,

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.

Basically, we have our White VWAP line off The Daily, Next, we have the Lime AVWAP line off the ARROW Dots, then we have the Yellow AVWAP line off the Pink/Blue Dots.
Loving it.

Yes I can switch it off, it's just that after switching off the HA candles I don't have any candles and can't switch on the regular candles.
