It seems you meditated a lot before sharing this gem as your first contribution to the forum.

you still didn't get my point do you? I'm not condemning the work of xard, I'm only new to it and I have seen people praising his great work and strategy. I only followed his instructions as using green and red dots for entries if you like and then I found out it was a misleading dots..
I expected you to even say "don't use those dots as entries even if xard says so, instead use this or that".

Common bro. When did speaking out became a crime? Don't you correct or help people out? Do you have to lash out at everyone for saying something due to what they observed?

Hi highly recommend you to understand the style, the values and common rules of this community.
Do you really expect someone teach you in one post how to trade?

It took years of study, testing, refining by Xard and everyone who contributed to this amazing system. And there are tons of useful guides, posts, and videos to introduce beginners to the system.

Go to the first page, do your own reasearch, and then come back when you understood the basics. You will always find help and support, if you put some effort and dedication. FYI I waited for more than one year before talking about the system.

PS: speaking is not a crime, but stating that a Ferrari is not a good car won't help you.

I am ITCHING to get home and test the new version can anyone tell me if the triangles notifications work?! I NEED TO USE THIS NOW!

You guys don’t understand, I’m here at my 9-5 ready to use my time off to go home and play with the update. All I want to do for the rest of my life is trade.

Thank you again Xard, Cagliostro!

Note: I’ve been experimenting with some colors, I am trying black and white right now and I will say I feel a little calmer? Anyone else have any calming color combinations to share?

PS: I am still trying to find a timeframe that works for me
One post Cagliostro made using his “Cheat code” analysis has been very useful for me so far

15M3M lining up
1M Trigger with 5M Oracle lining up

So far it has proven to be quite effective and I am getting very nice breathable stop losses here to manage my risk. Thank you for sharing!

I am still waiting until I can perfect my executions and then I’ll share so I can further assist anyone else who may be struggling!

Risk management and Patience! I’m asking for this for myself haha, happy trading.

(I want to clock out NOW!)

I have seen xard praises everywhere and how happy people are, that's what attracted me to the indicator at first. I'm just saying the dots from the semefor vwap is misleading and shouldn't be used as another way of entries as described by xard.. hope you get my point bro.. you should give another best way of entries since you're familiar with the strategy and indicator.. this is how people new to the indicator would learn.

You are correct, the semafors can never be used as a stand alone indicator. Trading the semafors only will bleed you dry in a handful of trades. They are part of the picture and confirmation is needed from other indicators AND basic market structure.

One of the most difficult parts is when you a have SquareArrow or Arrow semafor at a significant high or low. Because it is a “new” high or low level, the system will produce a semafor for that level. The trouble occurs when you don’t consider the other indicators and/or market structure and end up buying high or selling low.

It all works together along with confirmation from 1 or 2 higher time frame charts, if needed. A newly added tool is Cagliostro’s Oracle indicator. You can have the current TF and higher tf’s displayed. Although it is new, it is based on time tested indicators and it looks to be a good aid for these situations.

In post 1 of the original thread is a great deal of information. Curioso’s post is a great place to start.

It's good to see you grabbing this by the horns. Just remember that patience is the trader's best friend.

Here is a link that shows one of my mt4 versions. I consider this a calming color scheme

Dave you are also one I'd like to thank, I use your chart on my phone while at work on TV. It is nice for me, yellow is tough on my eyes so I changed it to grey. I'm reallllly trying with the patience. I have had some good days, and then I can see my bad habits emerge on my negative days. Trying to enter before everything aligns is against everything I've been trying to build through discipline.

One day at a time, I'll get it down in time, thank you so much! #patience

Hey XARD Family!
I hope everyone is doing well and had a great Easter break!

I have a friendly request — I’m looking for someone who could help me out with a little project. I’ve got a trading system written in Pine Script (for TradingView), but I’d really love to use it on MetaTrader 5. Unfortunately, I’m not able to code myself.

If anyone has the skills and is willing to help convert it into an MT5 indicator, I’d really appreciate it — and I believe the whole community could benefit from it too!

Thanks in advance and happy trading!

+C+: Hi there, I know the script, it's not worth the conversion IMO. In any case this is not the correct section to post the request.

Thanks once again, Mr Xard, for releasing the latest version of your MT5 setup.

You are truly an inspiration, a selfless individual who dedicates so much time and effort, even during festivals and bank holidays, to test, fine-tune, and release new versions for the benefit of the community. Words can’t fully express my gratitude for your incredible work.

As I'm still new to Forex trading and not as experienced as some of the senior members here, I'm learning every day and trying to understand the setups in detail.

I’ve just loaded both MT5 versions, XU006 and the latest XU008 and noticed that AVWAP has been replcaed with EMA 100 in XU008.

A kind request, whenever you find some time, if you could update the User Guideline in the first post of this thread: Xard’s Echoes in Self-Similarity Trading Setup to reflect this change. It really serves as a helpful manual for traders who are new to this strategy.

I also have a couple of queries, perhaps you or someone else in the community could help:

Could you please provide more explanation regarding the new info box that shows:
Main Bias: UP SQUARE
Cycle: UP ARROW

This box wasn’t present in previous versions, so I’m trying to understand if the UP SQUARE and UP ARROW are simply placeholders (similar to the markers that used to appear in the bottom-left corner in earlier versions).
Does the UP ARROW refer to the same directional bias as the UP SQUARE?
How should we use the information in this box to support our trading decisions?

Also, in previous versions, we had visible markers for the 2nd Dots/ Triangles with price labels.
In XU008 there are labels as :
Cycle Marker: 2nd Dot Buy
Mini Marker: 2nd Dot Buy
I am unable to activate the above 2nd Dot with the price markers , are these still present in XU008 and just not labeled, or have they been removed/changed?

Lastly, the message "Wait - For Candle Change" appears static. Does this message update dynamically once certain conditions are met? I haven’t seen it change on my end so far.

Is there any way to adjust the data panel on the top left?
I have US100.cash added in the Market Watch and configured in the dashboard, as shown on my chart. However, the price still appears with four decimal places, and values like Spread, Open Pip$, Range, and 20 Day Range seem to be showing incorrect or out-of-range values. Could I be missing a step in the setup?

Thank you once again for your continuous support and for making this amazing system available to the community.
