Playing with the VMAR`s open research

Recommended Posts

As for the computation, it's basically the code for the vma but instead of the vma based on the close, I changed it to the cci.

 

Unfortunately I can't export the data out of TS into an ELA file, however I can send you the code in a PM if you want.

 

Thank you Blu-Ray. I have understood the concept.

 

I don't use tradestation; I just read "ela"; no need for the eld file.

 

What are your results on an exit strategy? Have a look at the DAX chart on http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/24/walter-s-forex-vma-trend-scalps-2558-10.html#post23897 and join the discussion if you feel like it.

 

cheers.

Hi Walter,

 

You gotta love the enthusiasm and quality of this thread.

 

You asked about the red line. It is PYenner's ADXVMA6_4bar (4).

 

PYenner, more power to you... glad you've found more effective tools.

I tell you Sundowner, I never dreamed of enjoying so much this great collaboration process... great people, great inputs ¡¡

 

I will check on adding that red line, as it confirms trend very nice...

 

A question on how are you managing timing... are you using a smaller time frame for that, what specific criteria ? ... thanks Walter.

 

PD: how do you do with lyfestyle to follow 30 min ? certainly an issue for me... lol

Hi Walter,

 

Walter, I have no experience live trading. My trades are all on a demo account. If things continue as well as they have the last three weeks I am intending to go live in a month or so...thanks guys.

 

I live in Vancouver, Canada (GMT -7) and work full time. I demo trade the eur/jpy exclusively.

 

I find the eur/jpy makes some profitable moves between 5:00 a.m and 8:30 a.m. my time. I also find profitable moves during the asian session...better later in the session, say between 9:30 p.m. PDT and midnight. (just before the European and London Opens)

 

My wife watches t.v. reads, bakes, and is involved in a lot of stuff in the community. I sit with my laptop...dark at 6:00 p.m. now... no golf, don't want to walk the dogs in the evenings any more and it rains a bunch in the fall/winter here. (lifestyle stuff)

 

I look for swing highs and lows on htfs and use your centifugal/centipedal setups (I am finding your icon trades work well on 15/30 min charts setups) combined with PYenners indicators to pinpoint turning points. I'm just trying to take a piece out of the trend.

 

I found the swings too quick on the 1 and five minute chart...I was in and out late...I'm too slow to react that fast.

 

With the 15 or 30 min I can take a piece of the trend and it's been successful so far... too soon to tell really.

 

Hope that answers your questions about lifestyle and such, not to clutter your thread.

 

Sorry for the length of the post.. Friday night and beer.

 

Regards

Thanks for this answer Sundowner... Its really a great topic for me...

 

I do see the advantage of playing with larger timeframes as I know the setups are much more reliable... on the other hand my scalping roots play a great psicological pressure to play each small efective swing...

 

So I like to see what you are doing on that time frame... I would apreciate if you can keep posting charts on the Chimp forex trades thread as I really would like to see your evolution on that time frame...

 

May I ask again exactly the inputs of each line... would apreciate that... thanks for interacting, you dont clott nothing here... please interact as much you want... cheers Walter.

Sparrow : Can I ask you another great favor ? ...

 

Apart from vma`s another good lead indicator I like to use is the Hull average... It has some roll normally on my researches...

 

Could it be possible to program a two line indicator where the first one will be a Hull average and the second a signal of the hull with type of ma alternatives : simple, exponential , linear weighted and Hull...

 

That would be of great help to what I am looking right now... thanks a lot for your comitment into this great process ¡¡ cheers Walter.

Hi Walter

 

your request:

 

The charts are identical, just the 1 hr is minus the horizon line. (ADXVMA16)

 

Green ADXVMA6 Bar (6)

 

Red ADXMA4 (4)

 

Red line/green line interaction for trend on hourly.

 

The white line is a DECEMA 12, virtually identical to the HMA 9 you have been using.

 

The thick lines on the hourly mean I would look for set ups and enter / take profit according to the trend...thin lines on the 15 min are potential trades.

 

regards

Have been using Chimp3_1 on 1min and 5min, scalping out on momentum peaks. Don't know if it would add anything to the 15min or 30min picture, one way to find out. It would also help to have an exhaustion meter that tells you how long this ladder is going to last...

I am just playing Unicorn, nothing formal really... but it looks very nice...

 

Hello Walter;

 

can you test how close the signal vma(4,4,4) and its Hull(25),

are to your adxvma() and corresponding Hull?

 

similarly for the signal vma(5,5,5) and its Hull(25).

 

It is impossible for me to test it, as we do not have the same data.

 

 

cheers.

Unicorn.

Hi Walter,

 

After one failed attempt here's the HMA Smoothed indicator.

Not very difficult, but could have been done on MT4 by indicator on indicator much easier.

 

Cheers

 

 

Thanks Sparrow ¡¡ I asked this to you as I was using this on mt4 and now on this migration to NT this type of indicators where fundamental...

 

Could you ellaborate a triple version ? with ma type alternatives for the original line and the two following as well ?... promise I will not bother that much more jejeje... thanks a lot for this... cheers Walter.

You're welcome Walter, hope you'll get something cool out of it.

 

Cheers

 

 

Next week will be an incredible week on this process... ¡¡ no doubt..

 

Thanks to your translation of Bruce`s and Unicorn`s vma`s indicators to NT plus your HMA`s and fxsccit3`s programing.... my migration to NT is definitive as I find tick charts give a great edge to good trading and scalping...

 

So once again I have to say thanks to ALL of you guys who made possible this great arsenal of indicators that really give a tremendous edge to a serious professional trader... (superior by far to any comercial version)

 

Now the chimp is on the laboratory adapting new strategies derived from new time frames dimensions... will share soon his findings.... cheers Walter.

Which indicator do you have in mind for an exhaustion meter?

Unicorn

Still vague thinking on that, I feel something should be possible but unsure where to look. Either momentum or momentum/volume gives a clear spike at the start of a ladder but neither gives a clear picture of progressive fatique toward the end of a ladder. Looked at OBV, found good and bad in that. Still need to look inside the code of conventional indicators to see how they might be improved or exploited. My education on conventional indicators is zero, I learn only what I need in order to do the job at hand. But that means my "mental library" is running near empty. Vague thoughts about using a reciprocal to invert a near zero reading on Chimp3-1 so there would be a second line that is near 1 when the Chimp3_1 line is near zero, but its only questioning, nothing clear. Volume alone might give more information if it is dissected in greater detail, OBV looks to be primative, there are probably more intelligent versions than obv in use but don't recall what they were called.

 

Also wondering if the narrowing of the "stochastic band" might be useful.

The number I am thinking of is HHV-LLV, this may get smaller as a trend weakens but there is the complication that the trend sometimes reverses without bothering to get exhausted first. HHV-LLV might not be "smart" enough, it might need to be made more sensitive to weakening of the current trend and kept less sensitive to pullback against that trend.

 

It might also be possible to run one stochastic on the plus stream and another on the minus stream and gain something useful about changing trend strengths from comparing the (HHV-LLV) numbers for plus and minus streams.

 

Off topic but the thought popped up that while signal/(HHV-LLV) works well for vma, an alternative like (signal -(HHV-LLV)/2)/(HHV-LLV) might give an axis line with less vma steps in it??? There are also aspects of vidya that might still be explored for getting axis lines or whatever, I think you mentioned stochastic(rsi) as an interesting one and I need to look into those suggestions. There are a number of swing indicators that might be turned into something far more general purpose if they could be adapted to work with trends better, made an attempt at one six months ago but went off in a different direction soon after.

 

Never used tick charts before so waiting for Walter to introduce his tick tactics so I waste less time finding out what works for the trader.

 

An advanced picture may depend on the access a platform gives to the native tick feed before it has been "interpreted" by the platform. A "full" picture needs access to enough chart pairs to analyse the currencies that are being traded to move the prices in the current chart. This is possible in the majors where the pairs are available, but currently not possible with AUD due to lack of other AUD pairs. This "currency" analysis would probably give the clearest exhaustion signal there is but I am only part way into understanding it and to understanding how tier1 trading actually operates. Can't find published info on how the trading system was designed so having to Sherlock Holmes my way towards understanding. There is no pot of gold here, the market remains devious at all levels of analysis, but the more tools you have to work with the better and the beauty of currency analysis is that it is in hard number real time prices, nothing vague about the numbers, only the tactical thinking behind them that remains the big challenge.

 

Its going to be clumsy steps at first but hope to gain some focus or direction from them.

 

After looking inside the stages of snipers T3 I got a surprise at how little lag it produced, had me wondering if dema, tema, T3 etc should be tried in place of emas with the adxvma but they already follow a ladder quite well so the only "improvement" might be in them breaking out of HE earlier and not sure if that would be an improvement or make things worse.

 

Off topic again, but in electronics there are a host of filters suited to different purposes and I am starting to find analogies in ema, dema etc, T3 looks seriously interesting for use in smoothing momentum indicators so that less price gets added into the momentum signal. This class of smoothing is known as zero phase shift or mimimal phase shift in electronics and T3 looks to be along the lines of a minimal phase shift filter so it may have uses for preserving "signal fidelity".

 

Doesn't pay to ask what I'm thinking because a ton of junk is likely to tumble out... Welcome to the confusion club...

 

Very impressed with NT documentation so far, promising.

Cheers

    • MNST Monster Beverage stock, top of range breakout above 60.45, from Stocks to Watch at https://stockconsultant.com/?MNST
    • there is no avoiding loses to be honest, its just how the market is. you win some and hopefully more, but u do lose some. 
    • Date: 11th July 2025.   Demand For Gold Rises As Trump Announces Tariffs!   Gold prices rose significantly throughout the week as investors took advantage of the 2.50% lower entry level. Investors also return to the safe-haven asset as the US trade policy continues to escalate. As a result, investors are taking a more dovish tone. The ‘risk-off’ appetite is also something which can be seen within the stock market. The NASDAQ on Thursday took a 0.90% dive within only 30 minutes.   Trade Tensions Escalate President Trump has been teasing with new tariffs throughout the week. However, the tariffs were confirmed on Thursday. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports starting August 1st, along with 50% tariffs on copper and goods from Brazil. Some experts are advising that Brazil has been specifically targeted due to its association with the BRICS.   However, the President has not directly associated the tariffs with BRICS yet. According to President Trump, Brazil is targeting US technology companies and carrying out a ‘witch hunt’against former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, a close ally who is currently facing prosecution for allegedly attempting to overturn the 2022 Brazilian election.   Although Brazil is one of the largest and fastest-growing economies in the Americas, it is not the main concern for investors. Investors are more concerned about Tariffs on Canada. The White House said it will impose a 35% tariff on Canadian imports, effective August 1st, raised from the earlier 25% rate. This covers most goods, with exceptions under USMCA and exemptions for Canadian companies producing within the US.   It is also vital for investors to note that Canada is among the US;’s top 3 trading partners. The increase was justified by Trump citing issues like the trade deficit, Canada’s handling of fentanyl trafficking, and perceived unfair trade practices.   The President is also threatening new measures against the EU. These moves caused US and European stock futures to fall nearly 1%, while the Dollar rose and commodity prices saw small gains. However, the main benefactor was Silver and Gold, which are the two best-performing metals of the day.   How Will The Fed Impact Gold? The FOMC indicated that the number of members warming up to the idea of interest rate cuts is increasing. If the Fed takes a dovish tone, the price of Gold may further rise. In the meantime, the President pushing for a 3% rate cut sparked talk of a more dovish Fed nominee next year and raised worries about future inflation.   Meanwhile, jobless claims dropped for the fourth straight week, coming in better than expected and supporting the view that the labour market remains strong after last week’s solid payroll report. Markets still expect two rate cuts this year, but rate futures show most investors see no change at the next Fed meeting. Gold is expected to finish the week mostly flat.       Gold 15-Minute Chart     If the price of Gold increases above $3,337.50, buy signals are likely to materialise again. However, the price is currently retracing, meaning traders are likely to wait for regained momentum before entering further buy trades. According to HSBC, they expect an average price of $3,215 in 2025 (up from $3,015) and $3,125 in 2026, with projections showing a volatile range between $3,100 and $3,600   Key Takeaway Points: Gold Rises on Safe-Haven Demand. Gold gained as investors reacted to rising trade tensions and market volatility. Canada Tariffs Spark Concern. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports drew attention due to Canada’s key trade role. Fed Dovish Shift Supports Gold. Growing expectations of rate cuts and Trump’s push for a 3% cut boosted the gold outlook. Gold Eyes Breakout Above $3,337.5. Price is consolidating; a move above $3,337.50 could trigger new buy signals. Always trade with strict risk management.

    • Back in the early 2000s, Netflix mailed DVDs to subscribers.   It wasn’t sexy—but it was smart. No late fees. No driving to Blockbuster.   People subscribed because they were lazy.

    • What These Attacks Look Like There are several ways you could get hacked. And the threats compound by the day.   Here’s a quick rundown:   Phishing: Fake emails from your “bank.” Click the link, give your password—game over.   Ransomware: Malware that locks your files and demands crypto. Pay up, or it’s gone.   DDoS: Overwhelm a website with traffic until it crashes. Like 10,000 bots blocking the door. Often used by nations.   Man-in-the-Middle: Hackers intercept your messages on public WiFi and read or change them.   Social Engineering: Hackers pose as IT or drop infected USB drives labeled “Payroll.”   You don’t need to be “important” to be a target.   You just need to be online.   What You Can Do (Without Buying a Bunker) You don’t have to be tech-savvy.   You just need to stop being low-hanging fruit.   Here’s how:   Use a YubiKey (physical passkey device) or Authenticator app – Ditch text message 2FA. SIM swaps are real. Hackers often have people on the inside at telecom companies.   Use a password manager (with Yubikey) – One unique password per account. Stop using your dog’s name.   Update your devices – Those annoying updates patch real security holes. Use them.   Back up your files – If ransomware hits, you don’t want your important documents held hostage.   Avoid public WiFi for sensitive stuff – Or use a VPN.   Think before you click – Emails that feel “urgent” are often fake. Go to the websites manually for confirmation.   Consider Starlink in case the internet goes down – I think it’s time for me to make the leap. Don’t Panic. Prepare. (Then Invest.)   I spent an hour in that basement bar reading about cyberattacks—and watching real-world systems fall apart like dominos.   The internet going down used to be an inconvenience. Now, it’s a warning.   Cyberwar isn’t coming. It’s here.   And the next time your internet goes out, it might not just be your router.   Don’t panic. Prepare.   And maybe keep a backup plan in your back pocket. Like a local basement bar with good bourbon—and working WiFi.   As usual, we’re on the lookout for more opportunities in cybersecurity.
