Indicators MT5, MT4: Cagliostro

Author of the strategy: Xard777

Since 2011, we at ForexStrategiesResources.com have proudly shared Xard777's trading systems, helping traders worldwide navigate the markets with simple and effective tools. Now, XARD Universe (XU) v006 brings this legendary trend-following strategy to MetaTrader 5 and MT4, blending a clean, user-friendly interface with the powerful concept of Echoes in Self-Similarity.

In this guide, we’ll explain how the system works, breaking down the fractal logic behind it, and show you how to trade it step by step. The platform I use in this example is MT5, the rules are the same as for MT4. The only difference is the filter under the main chart. The MT4 version can be found in the download.

Part 1: Echoes in Self-Similarity – The Fractal Logic

Markets often feel chaotic—price swings, news shocks, volatility everywhere. But beneath the chaos lies order: repeating fractal patterns across multiple timeframes. This is the heart of Echoes in Self-Similarity.

Key Components:
- Square Dots (750): Marks the temporary end of a major market cycle.
- Arrow Dots (250): Marks the start of a swing cycle (main Buy/Sell signal).
- VWAP Line: Starts from the Arrow Dot, shows cycle bias (Blue/Red).
- Continuation Dots (60): Show momentum or pullbacks within the swing cycle.
- Mini Dots (12): Entry points during expansions (scalping precision).
- Small Arrows (Cyan/Yellow): Micro Buy/Sell signals for re-entry or scaling.

- Oscillator (bottom of chart): Confirms momentum direction.
- The Oracle by Cagliostro: Custom dashboard and extra signals, including Rolling VWAP and Universal Strength Indicator.

Trading Rules (Echoes in Self-Similarity)
This section provides two separate sequences:
This system is based on fractal market structures that can adjust (repaint) until confirmed. The Arrow Dots (250) are fractal-based signals and may repaint or move until the candle closes or the pattern completes. The oscillator below the chart helps confirm the momentum, ensuring you avoid false signals.

GBPUSD Example (Buy Setup)

1. Determine the Trend Bias (Roadmap Timeframe)
Trend Bias Example - GBPUSD H4
This H4 chart shows the roadmap bias for GBPUSD. A Blue Arrow Dot (250) signals the start of a bullish cycle, confirmed by the blue VWAP line.

2. Entry Timing (Trigger Timeframe)
Entry Timing Example - GBPUSD M15
On the M15 chart for GBPUSD, a Blue Arrow Dot (250) appears, confirming a buy setup aligned with the bullish roadmap. The blue VWAP and oscillator momentum confirm the entry.

3. Micro Entries (Scaling In)
Micro Entry Example - GBPUSD M5
The M5 chart for GBPUSD shows micro-entry opportunities during a bullish cycle. Cyan Arrows appear during pullbacks, offering chances to scale into the trend, always following the higher timeframe bias.
4. Exit Strategy
Exit Example - GBPUSD M15
This M15 chart illustrates an exit point. A Red Arrow Dot (250) appears after a bullish trend, and the oscillator weakens, signaling a potential exit from Buy positions.

USDJPY (Sell Setup)
1. Determine the Trend Bias (Roadmap Timeframe)
[Trend Bias Example - USDJPY H4]
This H4 chart shows the roadmap bias. A Red Arrow Dot (250) confirms the start of a bearish cycle. The VWAP line is red, reinforcing the bearish trend bias. This higher timeframe context sets the direction for entries on lower timeframes.

2. Entry Timing (Trigger Timeframe)
Entry Timing Example - USDJPY M15
On the M15 chart, we observe a potential entry setup aligning with the bearish roadmap. A Red Arrow Dot (250) appears, and the VWAP remains red. The oscillator confirms bearish momentum. This is a valid sell entry after the candle closes.

3. Micro Entries (Scaling In)
[Micro Entry Example - USDJPY M5]
The M5 chart offers micro-entry opportunities. Cyan Arrows appear during pullbacks, presenting chances to scale into the bearish trend. Always confirm with the oscillator and follow the higher timeframe bias.
4. Exit Strategy
Primary Exit: When the next Arrow Dot (250) appears in the opposite direction.
Secondary Exit Options: When the oscillator momentum weakens or reverses, or when Continuation Dots (60) indicate momentum reversal.

Stop Loss and Take Profit Guidelines
- Stop Loss:
- Placed at the previous swing high/low.
- A 2% Stop Loss is displayed on the chart after entering a trade (adjustable via EA settings).
- Take Profit (Profit Target):
- Recommended Risk:Reward ratio between 1:1 to 1:1.5.
- Example: If your stop loss is 20 pips, set a profit target of 20 to 30 pips.

Brief Mention of Version 2
Version 2 of the XARD Universe system is a refinement of v006, with minor tweaks in the visual layout and indicator behavior. The core trading logic remains the same.
XARD Universe Version 2 Example
XARD Universe Version 2 brings a slightly refined visual style, while the underlying trend-following logic stays consistent with v006.

The MT4 version is the same the only difference is the momentum filter under the chart. In the download you can find, all the indicators, scripts and EAs to make this template work properly.

This is a winning strategy.
