IT’S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE—KEEP IT SIMPLE
Here’s the XU XHISTO as your visual guide.
Designed the same way as the EMA 55 in the HA Candles+XMAv5
It has user unique ID for multiple instances as well as fixed (user adjustable) sub-window height.
Simply adjust the lower TF to match the higher TF (5min / 1min = 5 so multiply default 55 x 5).

In this example:
On the 5m chart, I’ve kept the default setting at EMA 55.
On the 1m chart, I’ve adjusted it to 55 × 5 = EMA 275.

It clearly shows price movement above and below the 5min EMA 55 on both charts.
(You can use the same settings M15/M3=5--set it for 15m default as EMA 55 and 3m as 55 × 5 = EMA 275.)
Enjoy!

HA CANDLES with DIRECTIONAL PLAY
Amidst all the excitement, I forgot to share this gem!
Right-click your chart, then double left-click on XU HA Candles+XMAv5.

In the user input menu, switch:
Use EMA 55 in HA Candle Color Calculation from false (default) to true.

This unlocks DIRECTIONAL PLAY for your HA Candles, giving you a sharper edge.
Have fun with it!
Best,

I am still new to MT5 and there was a problem with the semas calculating beyond sema4 (750) setting.
I have just got it working OK now at 1250. So my new Semas settings will be (10,50,250,1250).
For now, I am testing it and if it stays stable, I will post an update mid week. TBH, I will probably need to post several indicators that use the sema settings and I post a minimal look setup trading chart (I will include all other indicators previously discussed for traders to setup to their own trading style, probably include 4 templates).

Hello XARD, thank you for your contribution to the forex community over the years. I have been tremendously blessed learning so much from you guys here on the forum as a novice trader who learnt the skill on my own here in the caribbean. I have recently started the migration to MT5 and wish to thank you for making it so much easier to adapt with your templates.

I was just wondering whether it was possible to add an option to the TDI Indicator to have the alert when the RSI line crosses the 50 line since i know most traders look for the cross of the RSI over and below the 50 line. Thanks much and blessings on the journey ahead!!
Xard: I have that on my to do list for early next week. Just chilling for now, watch a movie, have a beer and a sandwich.

Ok mr Xard, enjoy your rest and your cold beer. Just one last request, i was just wondering whether we can have an option to keep only the body of the candle on the Heiken Ashi indicator since the wicks can be a little stressful on the eyes. Its a great indicator, however that option would assist. Thanks much. Blessed sunday!!One Love!!

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Monday AUS200 small sell bites, and a bite of HK50 at open.

Finished within the second hour. This is what suits me. I can go have a life.

Happy trading for the new week to all.
XARD: This is the balance I have been talking about for years now, when you hit your target STOP!.. go do something else.
