Hello everyone, I hope you’re doing well. Could you help me with the H4 timeframe approach? I’ve set aside the M5 and I’d like to focus on H4 or H1 or M30 as the minimum TF.
Why?
I had to review my daily routine and I realized that I can’t spend as much time on the charts anymore, I have other things to do during the day.
The H4 seems good to me because it would allow me to see the few candles formed during the night when I wake up, and then check the few candles formed throughout the day when I get home in the evening or before going to bed. I would hardly miss anything!
Also, H4 movements are much clearer than those on lower timeframes because there’s less noise.
I’d like to know the best advice you can give me about this.

873I think i should write this for new traders so they can see what's behind candels and how market works. Im not affiliated with any of this people just to make clear that i don't want to sell you something.
This is for Vakarox

And im not writing this to start some fight over what works and whats not. I want to widen the perspective for new traders what they dealing with
And i know that there are profitable traders using just charts most unfortunately won't be able to trade with candels only.

Re: 🔺 MT5 XARD - Simple Trend Following Trading System
874This situation occurs when you don’t check the trend direction on higher time frames.
I recommend that you open a new chart, without adding any templates. Just add the Zigzag indicator with its default settings. Then, zoom out to see the direction of the trend by checking if the price is making higher highs or lower lows.
From your screenshot, it seems that on the higher time frame, the price was making a pullback or a higher low. This is why, in the M5 chart, it looked like the price was going down, but then it quickly went back up after a while.

875It happens on all TFs of course. This is however not a gripe, merely highlighting a nuance (of an otherwise excellent system) that once acknowledged has helped me immeasurably..budhi1976 wrote: Wed Sep 24, 2025 6:09 pm This situation occurs when you don’t check the trend direction on higher time frames.

Re: 🔺 MT5 XARD - Simple Trend Following Trading System
877There’s a reason I call it the Harmonic Fractal Trading System.
And it’s more than just a clever name—it captures a profound truth about the markets.
What one trader analyzes with clarity on the weekly chart, another finds with precision on the 15-minute. It’s not about which timeframe is "better." It’s about rhythm. Just as a trader can feel panicked and overwhelmed on a fast-moving 1-minute chart, another can feel impatient and lost in the slow noise of a daily chart.
This is the core of the system: Your success hinges on operating within your natural comfort zone.
The "Fractal" part means the high-probability patterns repeat themselves, identically, across all timeframes. The "Harmonic" part is about you finding your resonance within that structure. This system is designed to identify those universal patterns—wherever you are most comfortable trading—because the opportunity is not locked to a single view. It's universal.
The market's structure is fractal. Your edge is finding your harmonic within it.

878Connecting the Harmonic Dots
A couple of pages back, I introduced the "Harmonic Fractal Trading System" – the philosophy. Recently, I shared a glimpse of the "XARD - Harmonic Trend Following System" – the framework. Now, let's connect them.
The first post was about the "why": the market's patterns are fractal. The second post was about the "how", introducing a system that lets you find your harmonic comfort zone within that fractal reality.
The Bridge: Fractals in Action:
Think of Sema3 as the higher timeframe trend—the major cycle that gives you direction. It's the "big picture" some traders see on a daily chart. Now, think of Sema2 as the lower timeframe rhythm—the retracements and swings that provide entry points. It's the precise action other traders spot on an hourly or 15-minute chart.
This is the fractal harmony in practice:
The relationship between Sema2 and Sema3 is identical to the relationship between a lower and higher timeframe chart.
The "virtual stop" that trails from Sema3 to Sema2 levels is a dynamic application of respecting this fractal market structure. You're not just placing a random stop; you're anchoring it to a significant level on the next higher timeframe in your trading rhythm.
In Essence:
My approach isn't about chasing noise. It's about:
Identifying the dominant cycle (Sema3/Higher TF) for bias.
Finding the harmonic entry (Sema2/Lower TF) within your comfort zone.
Managing risk at structural fractal boundaries where the market's narrative truly changes.
My Current Trade: A Live Example
Right now, I'm in a SELL trade on Gold on the 6-minute chart. I patiently waited for the Sema2 set to align with the current Sema3 top-down arrow.
A 1-minute scalper could have had a field day with the Sema1 sets that lined up before my Sema2 signal. And all those Orange Sema1 Dots would have shown up as Pink Sema2 continuation Dots. But the 1-minute TF is out of my comfort zone, so I don't trade it.
The key takeaway? The exact same fractal presence that the 1-minute scalper sees, I see perfectly on my 6-minute chart. My risk tolerance and execution timing are simply calibrated to a different harmonic scale. I find higher timeframes like the 1-hour or Daily are also outside my zone—they move too slowly.
The 6-minute chart is my Goldilocks timeframe. It's the harmonic sweet spot that allows me to create a doubling effect in weeks and compound on that effect in months.
I tend to trade Gold & Dow from a 6m TF as my sweet spot. Other traders, like Musashi, trade ASX200 & HK50 from a 3m TF and hit their 8-15% daily targets—it's their sweet spot. You have to find yours.
This is the system in motion:
Trading with the trend, entering with the rhythm, and managing with the structure—all within the fractal harmony that suits you.

Xard777

Re: 🔺 MT5 XARD - Simple Trend Following Trading System
879Dear Xard777, what is the entry criterion after the formation of Sema2, the intersection of MA, the candle closes below both MAs. In addition, I noticed that you do not pay attention to where the price is in relation to the opening of the day. In this example, the price was higher, but as I understand it, a sell trade was opened. Thank you.xard777 wrote: Wed Sep 24, 2025 7:42 pm Connecting the Harmonic Dots
