• Choose your pairs wisely, in my case I'm using only BTCUSD, US30, XAUUSD, XTIUSD

• What do you think about this idea?

• Now, you understand all this points?

• Can you explain in detail what is your doubt?

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)."

Personal notes about the entry on XAUUSD yesterday, and write and easy write language:
XARD.PNG
#1. BIGSemaUP -> Identity the major trend, is consider an entry point, and yes sometimes i consider that one
#2. 4Th minidot -> If you see an number, means we have an triangle to identify is an buy trend
#3. DailyOpen -> Is only green, so is a buy
...
And during the position you see opposite semaarrow, 2nd semaarrow with all conditions, but no problem, if have an good money management, don´t blow your accounts
...
#4. BIGSemaDown -> and see the triangles, and minidots that same color as bigsema close all, ok the profit is nothing. But no problem, the next one is greatest (this is a mindset i used everyday)
#5. Now we have same rules in opposite direction, and after 10 minidot and wait is terrible, because we are in M1 see the quantity of alerts,..
#6. DailyOpen is on red, perfect
#7. ADR level is % is negative, and let's go again

XARD-02.png
#1. Is my entry point
#2 After all conditions are matched in opposite signal is a closed position.

How can I avoid this issue, or what should I focus on that I might have missed in this trade? that is based on my understanding

tmostafa007 wrote: Sat Jun 22, 2024 7:19 pm Dear Curioso,
Thanks for your explanation, I really appreciate the amazing answer. I have a lot of questions, but I'm not ready to ask them all right now. I'll keep testing your idea and will start posting every day from next Monday with before-and-after pictures of each trade I take, so I can learn from you and other group members.

I have a question on my mind right now. From what I understand, I should follow the daily trend direction, meaning I shouldn't open a sell trade if the daily open is green, and vice versa. Is that correct?

You avoid fake signals/ enter criteria by using several confirmations:

1- Big circle
2- Second circle with a number
3- Crossing the 55 MA
4- Ribbon shifting to the direction color
5- Following the daily direction as mentioned above
6- ADR must be +15% for a buy, -15% for a sell

For exiting trades:

1- Close the trade once the big circle appears in the opposite direction

[*] What about stop-loss? Do you use a preset value, a fixed number of pips, or is there an indicator or signal you follow?

Also, The big issue I faced before was that the structure of circles would change based on the direction and candle movement. The big circle would disappear, and the second dot's location would either change or hide altogether.

i will keep ask you

The Time frame i have to follow is just 1M correct?
Finally, can you share with me the final list of indicators and the template you are using?

Again thanks for your support bro
