Re: XARD - Simple Trend Following Trading System

Hello, first of all I want to thank Xard and the other developers who collaborate with the Xard system! It is a incredible system!!

I've been following the topic since version 46 and trying to put it into practice, but I confess it's been a challenge.

As a first comment, I would like to ask how or what configuration do you use to do backtesting, I tried it with the MATI SoftFX4 Simulator but I confess that I couldn't make it work very well. Have another one way to do a Backtesting?

To those who have already done backtesting, how did you configure the Simulator?

Since now,
Thank you all for your help and sorry about translation.

Regards

He does daily analysis on US30. I've been following him for about a month, and his videos are helping me get a sense for how the Dow moves. For example, he emphasizes gaps a lot. I had this 1 hour gap drawn before today's market open, and lo and behold look where the price went:


As you can see from the candle with the long lower wick, it even reached down to perfectly close the gap before continuing down. The dude has mastered US30. He averages 100-200 points a day. By the way, I'm not shilling for him or anything. His videos obviously are free on Youtube. He is building a course website, but it's not out yet. I'm thinking of joining when I have the money. Maybe his videos can be a complement to XARD's system and help you understand the market movements better.

The SoftFX4 simulator works really well if you configure it right. This video is very helpful.


Here are some things you must do to get it working right with this system.

Set "Time On Charts" to New York Close
Set Spread to an amount that matches your broker
When opening charts you always need to open a daily chart, otherwise, some indicators won't work correctly.

Then

Load the Template you plan to use, delete Clock and Dash dash indicators and save the template with a new name for the using in the simulator.

Apply the template to the charts you need ie M5 and M30. Once set up correctly it works the same as live trading except for the Dash indicator.

Dear knglerxst

There's definitely a Hidden-GAP(Fair Value GAP) in H1. :clap: :clap: :clap:

Thanks <3

Tks FourXXXX you are amazing!

Can you tell me please, if you know, what is the configuration to Pip and Lot Size for US30?

I already tried some settings but it always tells me, that I don't have enough margin available, for currencies I managed to do it like in the video you shared without problems .

thanks again =)

XXXX: Just use a fixed lot size and keep reducing it till it works. I don't worry too much about lot size in the Simulator. For me the value is learning how to trade the system. If you can trade Indicies I would focus on one symbol there only, you will get much better results than Forex.

XU v50 Update - Out NOW!!!


hi sir
when should we exit if we are out of the money ?
with RSI ? candle color change ? or something else

XARD: Look at exiting your trade if you have hit a fixed amount of PIp$ (say +100Pip$$$ on the Dow Index), or look at exiting the next Blue Zigzag. You can scalp and just exit when the semafor dots appear and look at scalping off the next dot.
