OK, I’m gearing up to battle-test this version over the next few weeks...
I’ll be putting this setup through its paces to see how it holds up in the wild.
My daily target is a solid 26% return, but I’ve got a fallback goal of 12.5% if the market gets choppy.
Over this testing period, I’ll identify ways to boost its strengths—making those winning trades even more consistent—while also working to minimize its weaknesses, like tightening up on any false signals or drawdowns. I’ll be keeping a close eye on performance across WS30, XAUUSD, and BTCUSD, tracking how well the indicators play together, and tweaking as needed to optimize for my Directional Play strategy.
Updates to follow as I go!
Best,

Hi Familia,

It was a bad day today - choppy. I entered half a dozen promising trades, only for the price to come back and hit break-even.
Wednesday is a high probability choppy market for AUS200.

My reward is 1%. Hope you guys do better.

I took the panel from Caliostro’s “Alkemix” seemed to work well for me so far. Haven’t seen it clip out.

I also read here somewhere someone was having a problem with their bars and price not aligning. I have that happen too.

I focused on removing some things to see if it helped and it did.

I turned off timeframes on the time buttons I don’t use so I have H1, M15, M3 only
I removed fixed chart scale
I removed all individual Sema/Square/Arrow markers from the big template and just kept the 13/55 MA. I removed fixed chart added XUAVWAP for the semas
I turned off all alerts, all logging comments
I only have 1 instance of “Alkemix” oracle
1 instance of XU histo
5000 bars loaded on chart
All indicators set to 3000 bars where applicable
I am using Blackzones and black Levels (Previous versions not the newest ones I got lazy.) Levels set to last 20, Zones I do not include broken zones in my settings.
I ran the clean chart script, saved my templates
I went into MT5 folder and deleted log folder
So far it is a lot faster, less lag as well for me, but a lot of it is broker dependent I believe.

Looking for a new MT5 broker that accepts US broker
I suggest breaking down your set up in two screens and then adding and deleting things side by side.
Left screen use bare minimum to validate bars/price/alerting indicators
Right screen add in whatever one by one and see if you really need it.

Xard did mention somewhere about making separate instances for some things, I think it may be the amount of SEMAS

Also I played around with chart refresh, and Xu chart refresh. Couldn’t really tell a difference until I disabled comments overall my set up feels a lot faster

Side note I was going to ask Xard for arrows for 13/55 EMA, then I realize Xu Histo is exactly that as he’s explained works nice with oracle together.
