This was because I read that post by Xard (post1295586106.html#p1295586106), where he said: "Most days when I trade, I wait for the 2nd Sema2 dot before taking some meat off the bone. 'Don't be greedy, be consistent' is my mantra."
2nd Dot" is the big dot = So, the 2nd Sema2 is a big dot, without the arrows and the square.

The regular buttons load, only the regular buttons. No 2nd dot buttons will load. Is there a special way to load it?ramsdac wrote: Tue Sep 29, 2026 3:44 pm Did the indicator compile? Did it appear in the indicators tab? Show me what you have on your screen.

2155Inspired by that image, I thought I’d try out a different kind of "indicator" for Semaphores.

[RELEASE] XU SEMAPHORE MTF MINICHARTS (Multi-Timeframe Ribbon Dashboard) for MT5
Hello traders & fellow members of the community,
I would like to share a new visual tool built for multi-timeframe wave & semaphore analysis: **XU SEMAPHORE MTF MINICHARTS**.
---
###
Overview & Concept
When trading with multi-tier Semaphore / ZigZag systems (SEMA 1 to SEMA 4), monitoring the cycle alignment across multiple timeframes simultaneously often requires having multiple charts open or switching timeframes constantly.
**XU SEMAPHORE MTF MINICHARTS** solves this by providing compact, dedicated **Mini-Chart cards** directly on your main chart. Each mini-card displays the complete multi-level directional wave history (**SEMA 4, SEMA 3, SEMA 2, SEMA 1**) for that specific timeframe, along with an overall trend bias indicator.
---
###
Key Features
1. **Multi-Timeframe Visualization on a Single Chart**:
- Track up to 6 custom timeframes simultaneously (e.g., **M5, M15, H1, H4, D1, W1**).
- Each mini-card displays the last 30–100 candles of wave progression for that timeframe.
2. **4-Tier Directional Wave Tracks (S1 – S4)**:
-
**Green line**: Price is in an **UP wave** (confirmed swing low $\rightarrow$ price moving higher).
-
**Red line**: Price is in a **DOWN wave** (confirmed swing high $\rightarrow$ price moving lower).
-
**Vertical Tick Markers**: Pinpoints the exact candle where a swing high/low reversal occurred.
3. **Live Higher-Timeframe Trend Bias Badge**:
- The header of each card instantly indicates the major trend state:
- **`▲ BULL`** (Green) – Major cycle (SEMA 4 / SEMA 3) is in an upward leg.
- **`▼ BEAR`** (Red) – Major cycle (SEMA 4 / SEMA 3) is in a downward leg.
4. **Fully Customizable Layout & High-DPI Canvas Rendering**:
- Built using high-performance, lag-free anti-aliased **CCanvas** graphics.
- Choose placement in any chart corner (`CORNER_RIGHT_UPPER`, `CORNER_LEFT_UPPER`, `CORNER_RIGHT_LOWER`, `CORNER_LEFT_LOWER`).
- Flexible Grid layout: Vertical stack (`GridColumns = 1`), 2-column grid (`GridColumns = 2`), or horizontal layout.
- Fully adjustable font sizes, card dimensions, colors, and margins.
---
###
How to Read the Mini-Charts
- **Trend Alignment (Full Synergy)**:
When all tracks (**S4, S3, S2, S1**) on the higher timeframes (e.g. H4, H1) turn **Green**, and the entry timeframe (e.g. M5 or M15) aligns in the same direction, you have high-probability momentum confluence.
- **Pullback / Retracement Identification**:
If **S4 & S3** are Green (Major Uptrend) while **S1** shows a short Red segment, this visually highlights a healthy dip / pullback within the dominant uptrend.
---
###
Main Input Settings
- **Timeframe Selection**: Enable/disable and select periods for `TF1` through `TF6`.
- **Layout & Placement**:
- `PanelCorner`: Chart corner anchor point.
- `GridColumns`: Number of columns for card arrangement.
- `MiniLookbackBars`: History length in bars per mini-chart (Default: 45).
- `MiniCardWidth` / `MiniCardHeight`: Pixel dimensions of individual cards.
- **Typography & Font Sizes**:
- `TfFontSize`: Font size for Timeframe labels (M5, H1, etc.).
- `BiasFontSize`: Font size for `▲ BULL` / `▼ BEAR` badges.
- `TrackLabelFontSize`: Font size for `S1`–`S4` track tags.
- **Visual & Colors**: Full control over card backgrounds, borders, headers, and wave colors.
---
###
Download & Installation
1. Copy **`XU SEMAPHORE MTF MINICHARTS.mq5`** (or `.ex5`) to your `MQL5/Indicators/` folder.
2. Compile or refresh your MT5 Navigator.
3. Attach it to any chart!
Happy trading and good luck!
