Hello XARD777,
been offline for a while now and just came back to this thread to see, you are working on an MT5 Version.
Well, i have managed to code the XARD System into MT5 and coded this with the help of a very talented developer into MT5 OOP (classes and functions). I have also added some other indicators, like Harmonic Pattern for example, and MurrayMath and so on. Works pretty fast and reliable. If i can help you with the MT5 Version, just let me know. Happy to support, maybe we can exchange some infos via email?

I am also working on an EA for MT5 and managed to get this to work within different timeframes. But there is work to do to get this one profitable on the long run. It is very complex and has more than 20.000 lines of code. So , if any professional coder with a brief history of MT5 OOP coding is willing to work on this with me i am willing to share my code. But, we need to get this EA to be profitable and make some serious cash. I am a Business Man at heart, so i don´t wanna waste my time.

Maschine Learing and Neural Networks experts also welcome!

So, as i don´t know if it is allowed to post my e-mail, please write me a private message, if you are interested.

Below are two screenshot from my actual system, the third sceenshot is an indicator based on ZZ calculations.

Best regards
Redman

Unfortunately, I've stopped using FNC since the time of these posts, but it has great potential and the possibility of adjusting it according to what you want.

A1: Yes, is a great idea to start in that version. It's a shame to see that daughter funchi has abandoned this community, but I hope in the future to be able to follow again, because the system has helped and continues to help many members.

Don't worry about mistakes, you'll make some (in fact many), but they will help you to become stronger in your knowledge of yourself and in your trading journey, but the suggestion I can give you is to focus on the “key levels”, in post #1 you'll find some notes made by me and other friends of this wonderful community that I believe will be useful in learning.

What do you think of this approach?
There are a few things I need to share with you:
I used to work with intuitive trading systems like Volume Profile, Delta, and TPO (Time Price Opportunity). For a while, I was profitable, but whenever the market entered price discovery, I ran into problems—there was no past data to rely on.
I wasn’t profitable, and I’m still not!
In the end, I realized that the market is not a supermarket (Tom Hougaard – Best Loser Wins).
Buy higher, sell even higher.
Sell lower, cover even lower.
Existence is pain: Link
Everything starts with pain and avoiding theft.
And this:
Control your mind, control your future!
Control the switch and DNA (the reptilian brain that wants to shield us from pain and fear).
With XARD’s system, things get a bit easier!
Turn the switch! Do what 90% won’t, or what only 10% will!
It takes practice! (Charting!)
Train your mind to buy or sell things that aren’t crashing or aren’t on a 50% off sale!
Financial markets are not supermarkets. They are not toilet paper or bath soap that you buy just because they’re discounted.
This is the practical use of toilet paper versus its functional application—but in the financial markets, there is no such functional application!
Your valuation means nothing!

Tom Hougaard’s book was incredibly valuable to me.

I’m working on FNC!
Since the market is complex, using repetitive algorithms is worth the effort.

Thanks to Jimmy, Benzazzi, and Mr Tools—it was a game-changer for all of us!
And a big thanks to Uncle XARD for sharing everything.
Aside from missing Beatlemania, I appreciate all the contributors to different topics…
Calglitro and the rest.
You all have been an inspiration to me.
And V2Dynamic

what an incredible job…

Should I remove Haos as the final question? Is it misleading, or does it give an earlier signal and act as an early guiding light?or don't touch anything?

Alright, so let´s give it a try. Please find attached the MarketTrendAnalyser.ex5 file. This is an indicator, which combines ZigZag calculation and MurrayMath at the same time.
I have tried a different approach for the ZigZag calculation besides the standard ZigZag indicator. This one involves the calculation of the ATR value into the ZZ. The calculation represents 5 different ZigZags, as you can see in the Settings.
  • ATRMultiplier: A sensivity value for the underlying ATR value, which has impact on the ZZ calculation
    ATRPeriod: Additional Period, when the ZZ should change
    MaxPeriod: Number of max. bars the ZZ must change
    MinPeriod: Number of min. bars the ZZ could change
I guress the rest is self-explainatory. I have also attached a MarketTrend.tpl file with basic settings. So, try yourself out.

Hello iardavan,

If i understand your doubts, yes let me share with you and friends, the truly secret is more screen time, focus in key levels, like ADR levels, Panel1, take your notes with charts in that moment, because more we train your mind for pattern, make sense in future situations and how to interact with the negotiations in question. Because patterns are repeated, so it's practice, repeat, make mistakes, until we reach the stage where everything starts to make more sense, so it's practice, repeat and success.

And you are right, there a lot of powerful content in this amazing community, and different perspectives and help to us to archive consistency and profitable everyday like we are looking for.

About Haos i don't tested, but seems like have a potential. From time to time I test some indicators to analyze and understand how they can be combined in our strategy, but I always keep the setup the same without adding or removing anything from each version made available, because I see that if they're there it's for a reason and I've seen that they all complement each other.

I hope it helps you in some way.

But I still don't understand, I just want to use 5 EMA's so I entered all 3 EMA's input parameters as 5. it still gives very good buy sell signals. so what is it crossed with? sorry for my ignorance.

A quick update on MT5 crossover.

I’ve got my Live MT5 platform up and running smoothly now.
When it was on demo mode the MT5 data was not matching the MT4 data but it is all good now that I am on live mode.

Here’s a sneak peek at how the conversion’s shaping up so far.
I reckon about another week before I’m ready to share the full setup.

My first goal is to keep everything identical to the MT4 version, so any trader that is looking to switch over to MT5 can do so without too much hassle.

We all know traders can’t stand change (myself included), so the smoother I make this transition—keeping the hassle to a minimum—the more likely other traders will jump on board and make the move with me. Enclosed MT4 chart (Top) and MT5 chart (Bottom) for your perusal.

Best,
Xard777

On a side note...
I set Grok 3 up to play characters Harry Hatchet & Barry the Baptist (from the Guy Ritchie, movie Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels)

So when the coding was finished, all the different diagnostic code that is send to the expert logs has still to be removed.
So this was me painstakingly removing all the code...

Harry the Hatchet...
You've done me proud Barry on this job and even though the job is done and yours truly wants to enjoy a full life earning a boatload of Pips on the back of this job ah don'ts want to be doing life cause of some loud mouth logs grassing us up to the coppers, I want you to handle this personally Barry and have all em logs as quiet as a church mouse on Sundays and if you tell me it can't be done, everybody is going in the water.

Barry the Baptist (Harry's Enforcer)...
Don't you worry gov, I will take care of 'em logs good and proper in a flash, there will be no one squealing about this job, no high-tide necessary boss...

When I call up the logs they are blank lol - I luv coding in MT5
OK, I know, I am a big kid at heart.

The latest set-up is so awesome, thank you Xard for all the effort and sharing your blessings with us! Now we get mt5 as well?! Man, this thread just continues to deliver.

Over here in the US, if you're looking for prop trading, mt4 and mt5 are off the table. TradingView, TradeLocker, DXTrade, etc. are the only game in town. So, for those interested, I thought I would dust off and update my TV chart with an EMA Ribbon, EMA Histogram and Anchored-VWAP. I managed to find some nice ones and tried adding their scripts to my 2 current indicators, keeping compliant with the free version limit. I had no luck with the different combinations and turned to Grok for help. That was a long process that ended up producing a useless chart. When the Pine Scripts would finally load without errors, every element had been rendered useless by varying degrees of misplacement. Anyway, it truly was fun getting Grok's "personality" to come around to my sense of humor and I did learn some things along the way. Seems like it won't be too long and it will solve those queries.

This TradingView chart is still a work in progress. Pine Script still has trouble with the semafors>>>bar counts/history and really doesn't like any period larger than 615...ish. The ADR and Daily Open are part of the Semafor script in my template. The EMA Ribbon is the 2nd indicator I have on the chart. It has a TON of settings, with a lot of numbers and arrows on the default chart. In settings, I hid everything except the ribbons. This ribbon indicator displays the current time frame and one time frame higher on the chart.

I have provided links to the Histogram and AVWAP for those with a paid account or anyone that wants to try and put it all together.

That EMA Ribbon... :mistake: :Fire: :Fire: https://www.tradingview.com/chart/cbPj8yG3/
Basic Xard chart with EMA Ribbon, ADR, Daily Open and Semafors. The sema script has some older period settings, I think it's 10, 41, 150, 615. They are easily adjusted in the settings. Remember, any higher than the 615 area and you might have issues.

Anchored-VWAP
https://www.tradingview.com/script/72st ... -High-Low/

There are some others available, if you don't like this one. It has default channels that can be turned off. It will anchor to the period you set either at the high or low of that period. It will function as needed manually. It needs some work for auto attachment though.

EMA Histogram
Works as needed out of the box. Need a paid TV plan or pair its script with a template script, if needed.
https://www.tradingview.com/script/sJrV ... Histogram/

XARD: They are really nice charts. I used a link that you posted on the thread a while back just to see tsla, but one day there was nothing :-(
