Many are now focused on semaphores of different sizes.

The system is trend following. Semaphores come when they are supposed to come, it does not mean a trend reversal or a buy/sell order. They are just different levels of pivot high/low. RPlus once gave a good example of that, I just can't find it now.

xard777 gave a pretty exhaustive answer to that

The system has moved on, but the principle is the same


EDIT
When I had the time, I tried to make that TradingView code https://www.tradingview.com/script/hyeo ... hartPrime/ suitable for MT5. Well, it didn't work in every way, but it helps to follow the trend and breakouts.

the problem i found with this excellent strategy, by experience, is that it's somehow unaplicable to xauusd price climbing for months now - when you want to catch the train on the go.
i mean Squares & Arrows influence are quite diminish in this kind of situation, and tend to gain power back though, in lower timeframes.
for a few weeks now for instance i have experienced M30/M15/M1-M2 trio for xauusd which works quite well, only retaining dots influence on M30 because despite down square/arrow, the price keeps climbing (i wait for M30 dot, and M15 arrow & dots, then M1 dots to get somehow aligned and closely watching xu_tdi in each timeframe as confirmation). this tends to prove that one should adapt this strategy to each price and situation, there's no magic here, and of course always keep in mind original strategy (my humble opinion).

note: with xu_tdi i try to identify some patterns & waves & crosses to evaluate potential future price movements.

Read through his thread, you have to change the magic ID, lots of useful stuff all over this website, most questions you have are in the thread the indicator or strategy originate from

Use keywords when you search
