Now we have a nice move down. Up wasn't quite as easy, I thought - a bit more demanding.
I think I understand now why you used higher Semaphore period: so that people - who get "scared" when the dot appears and exit the trade - can stay in the trade longer (because the dot appears later...)
But as every advantage also is a disadvantage in another context: let's see how they'll get along trading the smaller moves with lots of Pbs (but without the dots).
This idea - followed through to its bitter end - would, of course, mean:
skip a few TFs and emulate a real higher one (i. e. M15 emulating H4 = 144+576) (micromanagement vs macromanagement)
Interesting result!

Don't be greedy, be consistent - targets hit for today...

You can see that I drew a rectangle box (using the shapes tool on MT4) off the Triangle.
This allowed me to clearly see any breakouts (UP or DOWN) coming off the Triangle (kinda takes the fun out of guessing:-)

Yeah, Perimeter Dot are the only one to use for exit
XARD: That's the reason why I watch 5m & 30m charts when trading (simplicity in perpetuity) ad infinitum
