Hi XARD, i am wondering if you still use M30 as roadmap for your M6 trading sessions or just use thexard777 wrote: Wed Sep 24, 2025 7:42 pm Connecting 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.
Best,

NB: The candles were wrong in the previous chart—still working on the code. Hence the reason it has not been posted yet.
M6 sema4 + sema3 (square + Arrow) value to give position entry preferable direction ? if so, M6 just became your roadmap i guess, so which tf do you use as a trigger ?
