Yes, I feel the same way. There's still something unclear. We need a video or additional pictures with examples to help us understand how to avoid a fake signal and identify potential movements accurately.

An alternative entry signal using the Index Entry has been shared by Xard.

It is traded in the same manner as a second dot entry. The difference being, you essentially treat the Index Entry line as the 2nd dot.
Arrow?
Index Entry?
MA cross (candle color change)?
Where is the Daily Open line?


Yet another alternative has been shared by Cagliostro. It is the same as above, but the stepMA signal is used in the same manner as Xard's Index Entry. This is a great share by Cagliostro and without the Index Entry converted for mt5 use I am especially grateful.
The large red and white dots are the stepMA signals in this mt5 version.

HYG the full Pic, Can you also explain the trading strategy you follow and the correct way to implement it? Including a chart example would be even better.
It all starts with Xard's 2nd dot(semafor) strategy. The entries explained in the last few posts will be more clear with a better understanding. Curioso posted a great guide for those new to Xard type charts, here: post1295537552.html#p1295537552
Curioso has continued that trend by posting great comments and illustrations in recent history.

I am really looking forward to the mt5 stepMA indicator kvak is working on and encourage anyone to follow its progress. Of course, I am also looking forward to Cagliostro's mt5 template, when it is satisfactory to him.

In the meantime, here is my current mt5 version. Would love someone to improve and share more semafor shapes and sizes from the Chaos Semafor indicator enclosed...or another semafor with better options. Edit: forgot to add the Gann h-l. This gives 3 candle colors based on MA settings

If price takes off as the result of some news event there may not be any retracements, in this case, there was a small retracement at the open but not enough for a dot to appear. As already mentioned you could have used the Index Entry signal, it is a more risky entry but can have big rewards. Way back in this thread, Xard talks about entering when price crosses the moving averages after reversing at a large Semaphore. However, he also states that it is a higher risk to take a trade using that method, by waiting for the second dot it is much lower risk.

You will not achieve perfection and there is no point getting frustrated about it. Accept that you will not get in on every move, you will have taken profit and price continued on and you could have made 3 times as much profit and some trades will be losers!

Here is what Xard said recently about entries.
"The message is always the same, take the trade off the 2nd Dot.
It is the best place for an entry, it's where price sets itself up for a move.
It is nothing new, it's what is on all of my previous setups.
The 15m and the 5min TFs show the 2nd dot more often than the 1hr, 4hr & Daily. It is just smaller cycles is all.
If you are an investor then invest your money off the 2nd dot on the 4hr or Daily chart.
If you are an intraday trader then trade off the 2nd dot on the 15min or 5min chart (more frequent usually every day and sometimes twice a day)."
