Re: XARD - Simple Trend Following Trading System
19673Hi Xard777 and fellow traders,
This is my first post, but it is after reading the thread repeatedly over months.
I want to thank Xard777 for sharing his system. Sharing his system, Xard777 revived my aspiration to become a consistently profitable trader.
All traders who asked questions or answered them together did a great job of clearing my doubts, and I believe my comrades did, too.
I am still open to learning and trying to align myself with the system to exploit its potential and to settle on the "favorable pairs," but I like the progress.
I have not done this before.
Thanks Xarrd777
Happy trading

Re: XARD - Simple Trend Following Trading System
19674About a year ago I stopped trading. Although I had been working at it for a few years, I was not profitable. Trading looks so easy; nearly anyone should be able to do this, right? Over the years I have tried several systems. The paid programs were the ones that I stayed with the longest. Usually would try to learn their system and apply it as best I could. I stayed with two different systems for about 3 years each. No real sucess!
Finally I came across the Xard Trading System. This made sense as It was based on info that the other systems mentioned. I loved it! Took one demo account from 10K to over 70K in about a four month period. Later loosing most of that . I came to realize that my great trading was due to the market moving mostly in only one direction! Some how I wasn't able to control myself. I had a general idea of what I was supposed to do, but many times held trades too long and lost. I live in the USA and was using a out-of-US broker. They folded and my live account was down to about $130. So I took my money and close everything down.
Recently I got the "bug" to try again. So for the past few weeks I have been reading this blog trying to catch up from where I was last involved here. As I got to the end, I see xard has gone to MT5.
I have set up the latest MT4 version last week. Love it! I never saw the use of the VWAP. But using it at the start of a move with the Arrows is fantastic! I trade a demo with IG. Last week had 7%, -8% and a 34% on Friday. Thought I would look at the MT5 over the weekend. But IG doesn't do MT5. Checking with Grok3, there are only 3 brokers that do MT5. So this week I startes checking to MT5 brokers to see if I could open a demo account to learn this system. No luck!
So Xard, I hope you will keep this MT4 version going for us few US traders.

19675Xard777’s MT5 Journey: Battle-Testing, Trading, and Future Plans
I’ve officially made the jump to MT5—and my only regret is not doing it sooner!
The transition from MT4 to MT5 has been a game-changer for me, and I’m kicking myself for not making the move earlier. The flexibility and power of MT5 have really opened up new possibilities for my XARD UNIVERSE setup, and I’m excited to see where this journey takes me over the coming months.
Right now, I’m deep in the development cycle with my MT5 versions. Version 010 is currently available for MT5 users, and it’s a solid foundation. That said, I’m still tinkering with some small but important changes in version 011, which isn’t released yet. Once I’m happy with the refinements—likely by version 012 or 013—I’ll be porting the final product over to MT4 and sharing an update for those still on the older platform. I don’t foresee any major hurdles in doing that, as the core logic is already robust, but I want to make sure it’s absolutely spot-on before I port it over.
When I decided to switch from MT4 to MT5, I set myself two non-negotiable conditions to ensure a smooth transition. First, I had to put on my coding hat and go full beast mode to build a stable, working setup. I’m thrilled to say I’m about 95% there, it was not easy but it is done—version 011 is shaping up nicely, with just a few final tweaks to iron out. The code itself is 100% solid, but I’ve spotted some logic flaws in how the indicators interact, which I’m currently addressing to ensure everything aligns perfectly with my trading strategy.
The second condition was to swap out the coding hat for my trading hat once the setup was ready. This week, I’ve shifted my focus back to trading, diving deep into my Directional Play strategy. In doing so, I’ve uncovered a few more logic flaws—not in the code itself, but in the underlying decision-making logic of my strategy. I’m now in the process of sorting these out, fine-tuning the rules and signals to eliminate any inconsistencies. My plan is to dedicate the next six weeks to this process, rigorously testing and refining until I have a 100% reliable trading strategy that I can trust in all market conditions.
This timeline is strategic—I’m aiming to have everything locked in and battle-tested by the busy trading months ahead: September, October, and November. These are the bread-and-butter months for trading, where the markets really come alive, and I want to be fully prepared to capitalize on the opportunities. After that, I’ll be gearing up for the next wave of high-action months in February, March, and April 2026. By having a rock-solid setup ready before these periods, I’ll be in the best position to maximize my returns on the core pairs I’m focusing on.
While I’m working to this plan and timescale, I’m confident I’ll be able to port the finished product over to MT4 without any issues. It’s on my to do list, and I’ll make sure it’s done before the busy months kick in, so MT4 users can benefit from the updates as well. For now, though, my mission-critical goals are centered on perfecting the MT5 version—coding out the last 5% of kinks, optimizing my trading strategy, and ensuring everything is primed for the high-volume trading seasons ahead. I’ll keep you posted on my progress as I go!
Best,
Xard777

Re: XARD - Simple Trend Following Trading System
19676today i looked at the US Indices; they all seem to move in the same directions. Took several trades: US30, SPX 500 and NAS100. Biggest profit was with NAS100! I really like following the VWAP on my trades. This seems to be a strong indicator of where the move is going. I noticed is is not on the MT5 version? Here's where I ended up today.
