Playing with the VMAR`s open research

Recommended Posts

Hi Bruce... Ninjatrader would be the way... it has tick charts and its free, also forex data is free there... so far had tested quite a lot and has a very friendly charting functions and no connection issues (very important )...

 

I would love to get a chart on Ninjatrader similar to Unicorn`s on amibroker... hope we get there...

 

The edge of using Tick charts on forex is being able to get a very good precise timing... even better than the 1 min we actually have on mt4...

 

I dont know how their coding language differs to mt4... but if we could migrate there, it would be worth the effort eventually... cheers Walter.

 

It uses C# which is not only for indicator programming, so it has more stuff but is also a little more complex but with less limitations. I haven't coded MT4 stuff but from what I have seen I prefer NT.

 

Things that are missing in NT: using data from other time frames in an indicator

Also the indicator on indicator thing is not possible to configure on the chart, but is easy to do in the code.

What data feed are you using to get free forex data into NT?

 

Cheers

 

Blu-Ray

 

 

NT has already included Gain forex data... now, there is one parameter where I choose ninjatrader servers and get historical data (up too 2.5 years)... much better data also... really its a very friendly platform..

 

Take care Blu ¡¡ cheers Walter.

Now let me ask again inputs :

 

Unicorns _Cyan line

_ Red line

 

Cyan: ADX:3, EMA:3, Stoch:5, MA:2

Cyan: ADX:5, EMA:5, Stoch:10, MA:2

 

I haven't looked into the rainbow yet, the MA stays constant all the time.

Don't think it will take much effort.

 

Cheers

I had a minor bug in the Vidya as well.

 

Good day Sparrow;

 

in your code:

 

double adxMin = MIN( ADX( Low, ADXPeriod ), StochPeriod )[ 0 ];

double adxMax = MAX( ADX( High, ADXPeriod ), StochPeriod )[ 0 ];

 

are you certain that these lines of code compute

 

adxmin = LLV(adx, stoch_period) ;

Lowest value of adx in the last stoch_period bars ?

and

adxmax = HHV(adx, stoch_period) ;

Highest value of adx in the last stoch_period bars ?

 

adx in my implementation is computed on the close. (as is usually done).

Does the Ninja Trader have the HHV and LLV functions?

 

cheers.

Unicorn.

Hi Unicorn,

 

Thanks for reviewing my code, you're right I got confused with LLV and HHV.

NT hasn't got LLV or HHV, but ADX produces only 1 value per bar so it is not necessary. Otherwise can be done by MIN( Low, Period ), MAX( High, Period ).

 

Fortunately the glitch does not produce very different results.

 

Cheers and thanks

Now let me ask again inputs :

 

Unicorns _Cyan line _ Red line

 

Walter;

 

the values I have used are also depicted in my charts, in the following notation:

 

In vmar_1

cyan line is: signal vmar_1(ema_periods, adx_periods)

and

red line is: rainbow base vmar_1(ema_periods, adx_periods);

 

Note that in vmar_1 implementation, stoch_periods = adx_periods.

 

In vmar_2

cyan line is: signal vmar_2(ema_periods, adx_periods, stoch_periods);

and

red line is: rainbow base vmar_2(ema_periods, adx_periods, stoch_periods);

 

Usually I have used:

 

signal vmar_2(ema_periods=3 or 4, adx_periods=4 or 5 or even 8, stoch_periods = 4 or 5 or even 8, 10)

and

rainbow base vmar_2(ema_periods=5 or 6, adx_periods=4 or 5, or even 8 stoch_periods = 4 or 5 or even 8, 10)

 

 

Take care.

Unicorn.

Ok I see... now from that base line (red line) would the rainbow averages be 2 , 4 , 6 , 8 etc until 100 ? or what numbers exactly... thanks Walter.

Hi Unicorn,

 

Thanks for reviewing my code.

 

Cheers and thanks

 

Sparrow;

 

In your code, I cannot locate where you compute the rainbow :confused:, i.e.

 

 

for (rainbow_ema_periods=2; rainbow_ema_periods <=100; rainbow_ema_periods=rainbow_ema_periods +2)

{

rainbow_line = EMA( rainbow_base_Vidya , ema_periods) ;

plot(rainbow_line, .....);

}

 

please verify that this loop is correct in your code ( that may be the minor bug you mention)

 

best regards.

Unicorn.

Hold your horses Unicorn, one thing at a time.

 

I like to have the FantailVMA1 just the way it is, so it can be reused in other indicators.

 

I'll try to get a rainbow like thing coded today, however I'll start with a band and probably will eventually arrive at the ultimate rainbow.

 

We'll see how things work out. Resources are limited.

 

P.S.: Unfortunately I can't take your approach, it's a bit more complex on NT

That's correct Walter; in increments of 2

 

I have used the groups:

2-12 yellow

14-24 red

26-36 aqua

38-50 blue

52-60 brown

62-72 gold

74-84 cyan

86-96 violet

100 magenta

 

How is your rainbow?

yes same increments of 2 all the way too 100... maybe the colors groups differ a little but no big deal...

 

Thanks Unicorn.. cheers Walter.

Forgive the frustration.

 

Been swollowing too much crud for too long with MT4.

Sorry all for the tantrum.

I'm taking some time out and it might be permanent as far as MT4 goes.

 

 

So far Bruce, you created an F1 on vma`s... no frustration on that man ¡¡

 

would you be willing to migrate to Ninjatrader ? cheers Walter.

For the inpatient, try this.

I'll code a much nicer looking version soon though, let me know of problems.

 

 

Very Nice Sparrow...¡¡ good base here... and yes I am impatient¡¡ :bang head: jejeje cheers Walter.

And I like that red Sparrow ¡¡ no needs to fool arround programing the rainbows colors ¡¡ cheers The Happy Chimp...

 

Gald you like walter. If anyone wants a rainbow, just add a few bands and play with the min/max values

 

I'm trying to make it visually more appealing. Almost there.

Looking good!!

 

Now, Sparrow please explain the sequence of parameters (as posted on the chart) in fantailvma1 and vmaband.

 

11 ticks Walter ???

 

By the way Walter, you do need the first three bands to be differently colored, as they help with exits.

 

good work guys.

 

Unicorn.

Parameters are:

 

Regular Faintail Parameters from which the Band will be calculated.

 

BandMin: lowest EMA period

BandMax: highest EMA period

BandIncrement: Increment value of the EMA Period, between BandMin and BandMax

 

Cheers

will you please elaborate in the form:

 

signal vmar_2(ema_periods, adx_periods, stoch_periods);

and

rainbow base vmar_2(ema_periods, adx_periods, stoch_periods);

 

For example by watching Walter's chart, I have the impression that the number 100 (max ema) is displayed within the sequence of

ma_periods, adx_periods, stoch_periods.

 

This will create confusion, and perhaps a lot of posts of the type: "nice chart, what are the parameters of the adx_periods stoch_periods?" cluttering the thread.

 

By the way, why do you want to have the ema range displayed anyway?

 

keep up the good work.

Unicorn.

Unicorn,

 

I can't say that I really got all what you are talking about.

 

What I am doing in the bands indicator is calculation a base VMA and put the result into an EMA with varying periods, I don't think you do anything different looking at your code

 

for (ema_periods=2; ema_periods <=12; ema_periods=ema_periods+2)

{

xVidya = EMA( Vidya , ema_periods) ;

Plot(xVidya,"", IIf( ema_periods==2, ParamColor("fast vidya color", colorYellow), Color1) , styleLine+styleThick+styleNoLabel);

}

 

If there is anything I didn't get, just tell me.

 

Cheers

This ticks are very slow on forex compared to futures, so they would be the most near to a 55t on futures... cheers Walter.

    • @sxiqxx, Well done on making your first post a promising strategy. @everyone, post up if you want this coded into an EA. Although I switched to TradeStation, I still have an active MT5 demo with MetaEditor. I can code it without referencing object oriented programming which should be retroactively compatible with MT4. Let me know...
    • Please allow me to retort (in jest): RESPONSE 1 : Get a job supervising others where you're in control of performance reports and ride those others 100%. This makes your performance 100% with little to no effort.   RESPONSE 2: Feel free to piss off your boss but stay nonviolent. When the side effects of his viagra and testosterone boosters cause him to physically assault you, you have the legal upper hand. This can result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 3: Feel free to have intimate relations with your boss if she finds you attractive. Rest assured that mum's the word because once again, you have the legal upper hand. This can also result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 4: Don't be fake friends with any enemies... unless you need information from them. Being fake friends with everyone will cause you to become an empty shell of a person with no direction in life.   REPONSE 5: Get your boss to become reliant on your performance (really, just the performance of your subordinates), and then plan an "overheard" conversation wherein you fake an interview with another potential employer. You'll probably get a pay increase or a promotion.   RESPONSE 6: If you can give your 75% percent to a project, give 50% and rely on your legal upper hand(s). Learn to write trading algo's during your other 50%.   RESPONSE 7: Take all of the office boys out to nightclub where you merely sip soft drinks on a weeknight. Upon your return to the office in the morning, inform the security guards that all of the office boys are intoxicated. Your boss will love you for it.   RESPONSE 8: Never try to prove your client wrong or find faults in their processes, but do secretly collect their information in case you jump ship or "someone you know" decides to start his own company.   RESPONSE 9: Never stay in a firm for too long. Instead, use your ill-gotten capital to exit the rat-race and start trading.   RESPONSE 10: Trading pays more than your career. Interpersonal skills are now irrelevant. Use your technical skills for trading. Never stop learning and keep updating your technical skills.😁
    • There are a lot of trading strategies like elliot waves, wyckoff etc so we need to apply those who best suited to our need and are understandable too.
    • Scalping can be good during the high volatile markets however the new traders should be careful while entering and exiting the markets too quickly since they can make losses as well. If the broker support news trading we can make most out of the scalping in my opinion.  
    • In my opinion these candlestick charts are more easier to understand as compared with the other charts.
