Thank Xard , looks like this version isn’t using XU Sema3 VWAP anymore — any reason why?
XARD: No reason, use this one if you want.

I like the XU Effect 4.03 as it shows candle direction better.

I tried to put one indicator here, but there was some blocking.

Now the indicator there:
post1295580428.html#p1295580428

Just to clarify is the system based on above opening price we are only looking for longs and below for shorts?

So if we are above opening price but price pushes down and turns short, do we keep with long bias until it closes below open price? Or is this for the individual to play with and work out for themselves? Just interested to see the different uses. I have the new version open but mainly use one of the older builds still so just wondering on some of the details I read in the PDF. Any info would be great thanks.

Are you affiliated with the "IM HIM" guy? Because it's starting to look like it — you're throwing out nonsense after nonsense.
XARD: My apologies... I have removed the nonsense

Update: XU v043
The 3-color MA logic remembers its state. No flickering. No false signals during chop. When the market goes neutral, you go flat.
"Take your win, book those Pip$, get out and stay out."
No catching falling knives. No giving back what's already yours.
What's Inside
Daily VWAP with dual deviation bands (1.0σ / 2.0σ)
Sniper candles: Price must clear BOTH VWAP + Teeth Line to color
Integrated Alligator: EMA 8/13 with 3-state color logic + smoothed Teeth entry/exit trigger
Symbol header auto-updates with timeframe
The Edge
This setup levels the field. No subscription costs. No vendor lock-in. No psychological drag from tool management.
Just you, the chart, and the discipline to walk away when the edge disappears.
The Xard Universe is open. Pay it forward.
Best,
Xard777

From my observation the candle colors when the candle closes below the yellow dot line.
A better solution, but might be difficult to code is if it colors when all the conditions are met for a trade. i.e.
Like when it closes above the dotted yellow line, above the red line and the EMA 3/8 is green to get a BUY Trade.
Then it being accompanied with an alert.
It might be difficult to implement, but it will be a good game changer.
All the same this is still very good. and one of the best so far.

I implemented changes to the code for stability/alert
What's Locked In

Temporal shift alignment Visual + logic synchronized
Strict history requirements No false early signals
3-state tunnel colors Neutral memory on EMA equality
Dual-sync candle logic VWAP + Teeth confirmation
Non-repainting alerts Closed-candle evaluation
Alert spam prevention Time-based lock
Neutral filter Configurable noise reduction
Defensive coding Empty value checks, handle validation
Performance optimized Differential loop start, full buffer copy
The Final Polish
You added prev_calculated > 0 to the alert condition. This ensures alerts only fire after initialization stabilizes — no ghost signals from incomplete history.
The time lock now updates unconditionally:
mql5
Copy
lastAlertTime = currentCandleTime;
Clean. No redundant checks. One update path.
The Philosophy Complete
"Take your win, book those Pip$, get out and stay out."
The code embodies this:
Blue = Edge confirmed, execute
Red = Edge flipped, exit
Gray = No edge, flat — no FOMO, no alerts, no action
The Antigravity system removes the lag between seeing and knowing. What you see is what evaluates. No hidden disconnect. No cognitive drift.

Coming Soon
Built and tested on my HomeLAB. Full setup thread dropping shortly for anyone who wants to run it themselves.

A great update, XARD, and in my opinion, the Alligator and the EMAs are the key components of the indicator. I find the constant colour change of the candles distracting, and it will have traders on a constant emotional rollercoaster.

I just made it simpler and more effective. And for those thinking of asking, NO, there will not be a template as ALL these indicators are readily available on the forum. Don't ask, but search and learn to combine them yourself.
The session timer and clock time are available for free on the mql5 website.
