Here's my preferred Xard system.
It's simply a money spinner.
It compliments my trading system. They're both highly correlated.
I've posted it a few times in the past on this forum.
I only trade the German DAX.
This morning, it produced a reversal signal and market reversed into the retracement\reversal zone.
I took the trade.
It gave me £1,700
Will post results

My trading style is to open multiple positions when market goes my way.
My TP is always set at 30pips from entry.

Impressive!!! TP 30 Pips. Can you tell how big is SL?

My stop loss is also always 30 points.
30points SL : 30points TP (1:1)
It rarely hits it though.
I configured my trade panel to:
TP @ 30points
SL @ 30points
BE @ 30points

Do you open positions using a script?

No. I open trades manually.
But I'm always super fast.
The DAX flies at 200 miles per hour @ Market open
If you're too slow, you can't make any money...or you lose tons of money.
You've got to use a good Trade Manager though.
You can't afford to use the default Metatrader panel.
It's too slow.
And you've got to make sure you use MT5
MT4 is too slow in processing trades.
There are several Trade Panels out there.
Here's the one I use:
It's superfast in opening and closing trades.

Why open multiple orders of 1 lot instead of a big one if you want to open a big position?

Because of RISK
If you open one BIG order, and the market goes against you, you can get WIPED out.
The DAX is extremely crazy...and lightening FAST
It moves several points per minute.
You never know what it wants to do...until it does it.
It's highly deceptive.
I've got different strategies for trading it.
One of them is to always scale in and out of positions.

My latest update uses the background zone to show 1hr turning points on the 5min & 15min TFs making it easier for Directional trading.
I will continue trading this setup for the rest of the month and I will post the final version during the first week of Feb 24.
So far it has been working great when live trading,.. again, trying to keep it simple, and easy to use, and navigate.

I would like to ask a question, when using configuration with background does the entry considering the repaint take place at the second point immediately after the mesial crossing? Thank you
