Good afternoon. Could you tell me what your risk/reward ratio is?

Xard is a one-of-a-kind trader (like unicorn)—you won’t be able to achieve results like that. As for the R:R ratio, in day trading you should aim for around 1.1 or maybe 1.2. Xard doesn’t have a fixed R:R ratio—he simply accepts whatever the market gives him at any given moment.
But you asked Xard—maybe he’ll answer you.

2183XAUUSD M5 to watch M1 to enter. A minidot on M5 is a big dot on M1 and a big dot on M5 is a big Arrow on M1. You can do the some with other Timeframes M15/M3 - H1/M5

2184Update — XU v058 — Stoic Edition
Here is the latest update: XU v058 Stoic Edition.
As always, full source files are included so you can inspect the code, adapt it, and adjust settings to suit your own trading style and platform.
1. The Core Strategy:
Anchor → Foundation → Meat
We are keeping it dead simple. You are an intra-day trader—you do not need to stress over the Weekly, Daily, or 4-Hour macro trends. Macro opinions only lead to paralysis by analysis. The market moves in self-similar cycles within cycles, and our job is simply to slice a clean piece of meat off the bone once the intra-day cycle reveals itself.
Step 1 — The Anchor: Wait for the major Sema3 Arrow to print. That establishes session bias and warns you that a cycle extreme is in place.
Step 2 — The "Foundation" (The Entry Zone): Look for the M5 2nd Sema2 Dot in the direction of your Sema3 Arrow.
In an uptrend, this forms the higher-low springboard (re-accumulation shelf).
In a downtrend, this forms the lower-high dome (re-distribution shelf).
Step 3 — The M1 Drill-Down: The Semaphores are tuned 5x apart to match the exact 5:1 ratio between the 5-minute and 1-minute charts. This creates harmonic self-symmetry (echoes). Drill down to the M1 chart to time your precise entry on the micro-staircase and trail your exit as the expansion leg hits the opposite target.
The Red News Circuit Breaker (T−14 mins to T+5 mins)
The biggest threat to a trader isn't market analysis—it's getting caught in high-impact news spikes where spreads blow out, stops slip, and the mind freezes into "should I close now or hope it comes back?"
To remove that danger completely, a hardcoded Red News Event Lockout is built into the execution panel:
Auto-Close at T−14 mins:
Exactly 14 minutes before any scheduled Red News event, the panel will automatically close all open trades, putting you 100% in cash.
Trade Blockade (T−14 mins to T+5 mins):
During this entire Trade Blockade window, the BUY and SELL buttons are strictly disabled. The expert will deny any manual order attempts.
Safety Reset at T+5 mins:
Once the spike has exhausted itself, the whipsaws are over, and spreads have normalized, the lockout lifts and normal execution resumes.
No blindsides, no spread gouging, and no emotional hoping. The machine simply enforces the discipline for you.
3. The Stoic Philosophy
Trade what is in front of you:
One or two clean cycles a day on Gold or your favorite instrument is all you ever need.
Asymmetrical Risk:
Entering on the Foundation gives you a tight, logical structural stop with massive upside expansion.
Take the Meat:
Don't be greedy trying to catch the bottom tick or the top tick. Bank the middle chunk, pay yourself first, and let compounding do the heavy lifting.
K.I.S.S. — Keep It Simple, Stay Disciplined, and enjoy the new edition!
