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

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.

    • It depends. If you have lots of money that you can buy a house without a loan and if you don't have any parents to sponsor then it is a good idea. Otherwise it might be a bad idea depending where in Canada you are heading to. I earned a good middle income in my home country and I migrated to Vancouver 5 years ago at the age of 35. I had to start right from the bottom, lowest of the low.. Now i am finally earning a middle income in Canada but I still cannot afford to buy a one bedroom apartment. Having left behind friends, family and home, most of the times I think it is not worth it.   In short, do not migrate if you already have a good life in your home country and you are happy. Only migrate to Canada if you really have to leave your home country say there is a war or something really bad. Discrimination still exists here and its really tough for newcomers unless you are super rich. Good luck. David Chong, Quora  
    • This is bigger than the internet. Bigger than mobile. Bigger than social media.   While everyone was distracted by stock market fluctuations and political theater…   Most people have NO IDEA what just happened last week with ChatGPT.   Their new memory feature allows ChatGPT to remember EVERYTHING about you across all your conversations.   Think about that for a minute...   While most tech companies have been collecting mere breadcrumbs about you - your likes, your clicks, your browsing history - OpenAI is now collecting the most valuable dataset in human history: your complete psychological profile.   This is Zuckerberg x 5,000.   The more you use ChatGPT, the more it understands you, becoming a supercharged reflection of yourself that improves at an exponential rate.   Are you a regular ChatGPT user?   Consider whether it’s time to turn off the “you can train on my information” feature. To prevent your data from being used for training while still using the memory feature:   Disable Model Training: Navigate to Settings > Data Controls. Toggle off "Improve the model for everyone". Manage Memory Settings: Go to Settings > Personalization > Memory. Here, you can: Turn off memory entirely. Delete specific memories. Use Temporary Chat for sessions that won't be saved or used for training. Now the investment implications…   Why This is Bigger Than You Think Consider this: the relationship between humans and ChatGPT is evolving beyond a mere tool.   People are now treating these AI assistants as friends, confidants, and even romantic partners.   I'm not making this up - there are already documented cases of people ending real human relationships to pursue “connections” with their AI companions.   A viral Instagram meme shows a person going through life with a glowing, featureless humanoid figure - representing ChatGPT - as their companion.   The post has over 1.1 million likes and comments like "Bro ChatGPT is like my best friend. Ain't even ashamed to say it" with 25,000 likes.   But here's where things get really interesting for investors and entrepreneurs...   Three Things to Watch For starters, hardware is the next big thing for the big players.   The iPhone form factor is dead.   It hasn't meaningfully changed in nearly a decade. The next evolution in hardware will be designed specifically to interface with these AI companions.   OpenAI is already working on hardware with Johnny Ive, the legendary designer behind the iPhone and iPod. But you can’t ignore Elon Musk’s edge here.   So what does all of this mean for you?   The companies that control the personal AI relationships will be worth trillions. OpenAI and Elon Musk will have the coziest moats. We're witnessing the birth of a new internet - one built on agents that can communicate with each other across platforms. Google's new agent-to-agent protocol allows AI agents to work together without sharing internal memories or tools. The hardware companies that create the perfect interface for these AI companions will dominate the next decade of technology. And almost nobody is talking about what this means.   My prediction? Within five years, most people will have a personal AI that knows them better than anyone else. And they will interact with it in ways that seem foreign today.   (And, yes, it will almost certainly have dystopian elements.)   In the meantime, the biggest gains won’t come from household names. And, right now, James is seeing a prime opportunity to invest in the most under-the-radar plays in AI…   For dirt cheap. By Chris C.
