MT5 Xard System Backstesting - NASDAQ - Let´s Learn Together

1 by RollerAndTrading
Hello everyone, I hope you are all well.

The idea of this thread is to do and track my NASDAQ backtesting using the XARD MT5 system.

I am using V18 MT5. Time frame M6 as XARD has guided.

I will take screenshots where you can see all the entries made using the system and also the final value.

All orders will be closed at the end of the day, since the Prop Firm I use does not allow orders to be held overnight, but whenever I believe the market will move in the direction I am expecting, I will open a new order the next day.

I will mark on the chart why I made that entry.

I ask everyone to feel comfortable correcting me where I am wrong, without hesitation. The idea is that I can learn, and so can anyone who reads the thread.

As I have no way of knowing what the news is and its results, this is not being taken into account.

I am starting the account with $200 and will work with 0.20 lots.

The idea is to optimize the profit we can make with the system as much as possible, so there may be additional orders.

I will always do a full month, regardless of the result. When the account doubles in size, I will increase the position size.

If you believe there may be a more effective way to trade, let me know, and I can test it as well.

Day 1 - 01/06/2025 - Start
Captura de pantalla 2025-09-20 123032.png
1-Entry: The market is falling, we have a Square-Arrow-DOWN followed by 3 Pink DOTS.
I entered at the close of the first PINK Candle.

1-Exit: We have an UP-ARROW, which could indicate a possible change in our downward trend. Immediately after that, I have a BLUE-DOT that reacts in the Y 38.2% zone.

DAY 1 - Entry 2

After exiting the sale at the Y38.2% level because I considered it a liquidity zone due to previous lows, the market fell sharply again. I could have made 100 pips, but as XARD always says, “Don't be greedy.”

It is interesting to see the market's reaction in this same zone. Soon after, we have a BLUE DOT where the market retreats to the VWAP, falling and making a new Small Green DOT. Normally, I would have already bought at the EMA CROSS, but I really want to work on my discipline and follow what XARD says: we buy on Blue candles after the BLUE DOT, and we sell on PINK CANDLES after the PINK DOT.

The market makes an aggressive upward movement, takes liquidity from the previous PINK DOTS, and retreats. I enter long on the retreat, SL below the BLUE DOT.

It is interesting to note the areas where the market reacted. Although the day started with selling, the change in direction was very clear, reflecting the market's intention.
The TP was taken just above the previous PINK-ARROW-DOT, at P38.2%.

DAY 2 - Start Balance 264,60

Entry 1

The market is showing a strong bullish reaction, taking liquidity from the last GREEN DOT and rebounding on the EMA.
I am entering LONG, targeting the upper zone as a continuation of the previous movement.

LOSS -5% -12,53 USD

I jumped the gun on my entry; I should have waited for the BLUE DOT, which appeared shortly after I took my SL. I believe the price could drop to the Y61.8% zone, pulling back on the EMA.

DAY 2

Entry 2

LONG again, but now after the BLUE DOT/EMA CROSS, waiting for a continuation of the upward movement to the P50%/P61.8% zone, which would be a new high, SL below the BLUE DOT.

WON - Trailing SL - EOD

Those who trade on NASDAQ know that it is a somewhat toxic asset, which can often manipulate you. Although I believed it would continue to rise after the last GREEN DOT, I set a trailing stop loss. After all, I already had an SL today and shouldn't leave the market with nothing, especially after maintaining my positive position, resulting in +209 PIPS in my account.

DAY 3 - Start Balance 294,35 USD

Entry 1

I believe we will reach a new high, so after the market opens, I will go LONG again. I will be watching the P23.6% / P50% / P61.8% zones, which are possible areas where the market may react. First, by breaking the previous high, there will be orders from big players in that zone. Depending on the reaction, I will either do trailing SL or keep my order at BE when possible.
Captura de pantalla 2025-09-20 151858.png
For a while, I thought about closing the position when the candles turned gray, but I didn't go more than 3% negative, so I decided to keep the position open, waiting for the movement to continue.
Perhaps it was a mistake not to wait for the BLUE DOT.
New high reached, my order is currently at 40 pips.
As expected, the price breaks through the high slightly and falls hard. During this fall, the BLUE DOT appears and immediately begins to rise again, reaching a new high and revealing the PINK DOT, which was previously a PINK ARROW DOT.

As expected, it was a consolidation zone, the market manipulated up and down, doing that cleaning that the NASDAQ usually does, I closed my order before EOD.

DAY 4 - Start Balance 302,54 USD - 05/06/2025

Now we have a SQUARE-ARROW-DOWN and ARROW-DOT-DOWN, perhaps the market is down, so I need to wait for the PINK DOT and the EMA CROSS to SELL, if I'm not mistaken.

I don't do what I think, I do what the market shows me. In this case, I have a BLUE DOT, so I'm going LONG with BLUE CANDLES.

Let's look at this entry in detail. The previous day was much more sideways than trending, which led me to think about the possibility of accumulation for sale. However, if we look at the lower part of the chart, we can see an area where there was a strong buying intention on the part of the big players. As there was no EMACROSS for sale, no PINK candles, and there was a bullish continuation, I entered LONG.
Captura de pantalla 2025-09-20 173121.png
The upward movement did not inspire much confidence in me, so I used Trailing SL together with EMA.
Captura de pantalla 2025-09-20 174602.png
One thing we must bear in mind is that when our account balance increases, we need more PIPS to achieve the same daily percentage. In this case, I am willing to re-enter if possible.
However, I believe that the area marked below could be a liquidity zone, so I am concerned that the price may fall to that level before actually rising again.

WON - 49 PIPS - 9,06 USD 3.22%

DAY 4 - Entry 2

After GREEN DOT and Rebound, I went LONG again, the price stayed between the two EMAs, I thought about closing the position when the candles turned GRAY, but I decided to wait. I'm here to learn from my mistakes, and this one would cost me a few USD.
Captura de pantalla 2025-09-20 180530.png
In a sweep during the NY opening, the price fell rapidly, reaching the low, but did not touch my SL, so I was still in the market. Before the 4 p.m. NY candle closed, the price had already risen rapidly and touched my TP.

I couldn't see how many pips were in that order, but it was over $18.43. By my calculation, it was almost 100 pips.

WON - 18,43 USD +/- 100 PIPS.
Total Balance 329,41 USD

DAY 4 - Entry 3

After opening that order, I realized I was repeating an old mistake: entering in the opposite direction without waiting for the second point.

That's because I have an old habit of always looking for a reversal in advance. I entered SHORT after the price passed through EMACROSS and rebounded downward.
Captura de pantalla 2025-09-21 205246.png
As expected, SL. I kept the order open to remind myself that every time I break the rules, the probability of a negative outcome is greater.

MENTAL NOTE: NO MORE ENTRYES WITHOUT CONFIRMATION
