after making changes to the button. you must delete the old button in the Objects window. after that, they will work properly. if someone can fix this error, I would appreciate it.

Sometimes, simplicity helps catching dynamic within structure in these trump's cahotic markets...
XARD: If you create a template on MT5 it's best to use the Clean Screen Script and then save as template and when you select template again it should all draw in 100% OK. Place XU Clean Screen.mq5 in Scripts folder
SOLESHOE:Nope, just did, and panel appears blank on reload
Video games are like merguez sausages; it's better not to know how they're made so you can continue to enjoy them.

"Hi Xard, having used your semaphore on both MT4 and MT5 for a while, I’d like to suggest an improvement. I believe the logic should be updated to plot the symbols on the actual High/Low CLOSE CANDLE of each swing/zigzag. This would help eliminate false signals caused by current placements. I will provide an example below. Just my two cents—thanks for all your hard work!"
&quot;I missed the entry because the spot where the second dot should have appeared was replaced by a big sell arrow, simply because the shadow was hunting for liquidity. After that, the market just plummeted. This has happened to me many times.&quot; "I missed the entry because the spot where the second dot should have appeared was replaced by a big sell arrow, simply because the shadow was hunting for liquidity.

Try this version out...
Best,
Xard777

What This Gives You:
PlotOnCandleBody = true (default) - Plots on candle body (clean, aligned with close)
PlotOnCandleBody = false - Plots on wick extreme (original zigzag behavior)
BodyOffsetPoints - Fine-tune positioning (use negative values to move down)

Different Trader Preferences:
Conservative traders → Use body plotting (true) for cleaner signals
Wick traders → Use false for extreme pivots
Custom offset → Adjust BodyOffsetPoints = 2 to move semaphores 2 points above/below

This way, every trader can customize to their taste without changing the core logic! 🎯
