Could you tell me if, in this Gold position, you went short based on the downward arrows on the 15-minute chart? Or did you go long based on the blue dot on the 15-minute chart, following the buy signal on the 1-minute chart?

Can someone help me install this program and explain how to install XU EFFECT? I don’t know where to place the files.

Yes, dear XARD, could you show me on the chart how you made your trades? This would help not only me but also others understand the logic of the new XU, and I may not understand it correctly,And another question but the semaphore needs to be adjusted for each chart except for m4-m15-1?

XARD: How I made my trades

I kept it simple:

Blue Candle → BUY

Red Candle → SELL

Gray Candle → SIT ON SIDELINES

Sounds corny, I know. But all the heavy lifting is done behind the scenes. You're left with a clean, visual trading aid that actually makes sense.

The EMA Tunnel doesn't repaint.
The Gold VWAP Center Line doesn't repaint.
The Trigger Line would be non-repainting too—if it weren't for the 5‑bar shift. But the EMA Tunnel crossing acts as the perfect workaround.

So now you have a true mirror image:
What you see above is what you get below.
No repaint. No guesswork. Just clear, actionable signals.

Gold seems to be running wild especially for scalping at the minute. Big 500 pip moves in 10 seconds etc. How do you stay consistent with the strategy in the current climate? Stay on the HTF's?

For those who have problems with XU EFFECT v7.60 (like me), that the indicator does not "work" on timeframes below D1.

Increase MAX_BUFFER_SIZE in the source code to a larger value. It can be found on line 26. I myself set it to 2000000, so it also works on smaller ones. That is a big number, but it runs fine on my machine.

Remember to compile after that change

Do you think it's a good idea to sell gold right now?

Thanks Pelle, I tested the XU EFFECT v7.60 by increasing the MAX_BUFFER_SIZE to 200000 from 1000 and now its working fine for me on all the time frames starting from D1 till M1.

obviously an horizontal range is not ideal for scalping.
a big arrow down just showed up, it may be a good signal of trend reversal though, but you still need to observe market from higher TF like M4 at least.

You were right—I hit the stop-loss
