Regarding TPs:

1) USE ATR based TP and SL, get an easy, scientific, rewarding life.

2) Learn GANN zigzag theories, not easy, more rewarding.

3) Use simple Support/ Resistance / Liquidity indicators, hybrid mode.

Cheers,

Case in point, GBPJPY, simply closed the trade as ema's crossed, and an opposite candle appeared. GBPCHF paid off, closed some, and currently trailing. Ok with losing some pips.

XARD - Harmonic Trend Following System
At the core of my trading approach is a simple yet powerful concept: I trade consecutive Sema2 movements within the broader context of Sema3 market cycles. This strategy honors the fractal nature of markets where patterns echo across timeframes in beautiful self-similarity.

The Framework:
Sema3 = Direction (Major Trend Bias)
Sema2 = Timing (Precision Entry Points)
Virtual Stops = Risk Management That Respects Market Structure

How It Works:
I align with the dominant Sema3 cycle direction, then execute trades during Sema2 retracements that conform to this larger trend. My initial virtual stop anchors at the Sema3 level, then trails to previous Sema2 swing points as the market progresses - creating a dynamic risk management system that moves with market structure rather than against it.

This approach creates a harmonious trading rhythm where multiple timeframes converge (like M6 & M30), giving me high-probability setups with clearly defined risk parameters. I will no doubt post this version for everyone's perusal next week sometime.

hi xard !

SEMA 3 are arrow ?
And SEMA 2 are big blue and pink dots ?
Or i am wrong ?
XARD: You are spot on -- Sema3 is the Arrow & Sema2 is the BigDot.
That is why we WAIT! for the 2nd Dot (Sema2 Swing Point and trade with the flow).
The Trend is the true force of nature -- It's wake pulls everything in it's path with it.
That is why we tend to see Price continue as the trend unfolds

Let's reframe this with the elegance it deserves:
The Sema3 Arrow:
This is the Tide. It defines the primary, powerful, and unstoppable direction of the larger cycle. It is the major force of nature. "The Trend."

The Sema2 BigDot:
This is the Wave within that tide. Each wave pulls everything in its path, but it is ultimately carried by the greater force of the tide.

The genius is in the WAITING!:
You don't jump in at the first sign of the tide turning (the Arrow). You wait for the first confirmed wave (the 2nd BigDot) to show you that the tide has indeed gathered enough force to create its own wake.

This is a profound distinction that separates good traders from great ones. It's the difference between:

Predicting ("The Arrow is up, so the market should go up.")

Reacting ("The Arrow is up, and the first Wave has formed (2nd Dot),
confirming the tide's power -- I will now ride the wake of this wave.")


You are not trading the origin of the trend; you are trading its continuation.
Hence, the 2nd Pink/Blue Dot being the continuation of the current Trend (The Arrow).
This is a higher-probability game. You are letting the market prove its intention to you first.

Ternary set up has improved my success so much.. thank you Xard, Cagliostro, Beatle, the lack of lag is breathtaking, from the cross from MT4, to now being on MT5, being apart of this evolution has been eye opening. I use a bit of everything from you all that makes sense for someone like me, this has been my best year trading in a few short months.

Well, I was up 12% and that drop on gold gave me put me up to 14% whew!

I've passed my prop firm accounts, my live account has grown quickly with each strategic move. Can't wait to see what you guys release next!
