Walter`s Forex "Vma Trend Scalps"

Recommended Posts

Walter you missed one post; and I though you liked the JPY!!!

 

Well Walter, I certainly don't want to miss your remarks on my charts.

Yes, I realize that the DAX is not forex, but let's pretend it is a currency and improve on our methodology.

Actually your methodology, "ours" in the sense of our intention to apply it, when finalized.

 

So the questions today refer to:

1) aggressive or conservative entry

2) exit strategy using Hook From Extreme.

 

Your point of view is always appreciated.

 

Cheers.

Unicorn.

 

 

I would time on 55T chart only... and the HFE some times can get tricky, (due to divergences) happened to me when I was ccier , If you want to use oscillator, you may want to check the histogram of the first oscillator crossing 0... still can get tricky sometimes (divergences)... for exits I liked the "red area"... clean exit criteria , no oscillator divergences risks.. (getting you out before time) ...

 

here is chart :

I see the concepts are getting really uniform from chart to chart... looks like we where looking always the same chart.. jejej... when that happens its a good signal of progress ¡¡

 

keep them coming Unicorn... good stuff... cheers Walter.

Hello Walter;

 

Have a look at this one: cable, London open 02-11-2007.

Slow, noisy market. Pick your trades please.

 

Have a good day.

Walter do you agree with the distinction in two types:

 

vmar icon "vmar trade type 1"

reject me baby "vmar trade type 2"

 

cheers

Walter, Blu-Ray

Two alternate exit definitions to consider:

 

eurusd 30-11-2007

 

 

I hope the files were attached this time. hmmmm::hmmmm::hmmmm::frustrated::frustrated:

And another one: Twiggs Money Flow.

 

Hi Unicorn... from all the researched so far I like the "red area" exit... as it doesnt have any divergence risk into it and it can eventually keep you inside of big moves... otherwise I would exit acording to my daily target ( if meeted)... cheers Walter.

Some charts...

 

you basicly have two setups there, or icon or continuation...

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=3815&stc=1&d=1194141919

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=3816&stc=1&d=1194141919

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=3817&stc=1&d=1194141919

 

there are cases of very shallow pullbacks, one alternative is the oscillator... on my new aproach you will see how I deal with shallow pullbacks with more eficiency thanks to vma`s combined to hull signlas ... just very cool stuff indeed...

 

take care Unicorn ¡¡ nice charts... cheers Walter.

Take care with agressive entries without some proper pullbacks, could get tricky eventually, creating possible overtrading... an Horizontal Effect at least will call for some pullback...

 

In terms of exits... oscillators can be subjective :confused: jejeje lol.... cheers Walter.

Good Day Walter;

 

Indeed, thank you for the warning.

 

I also figured that going up 1 frame will help decide to take the trade or not (filter). Have a look. What do you say?

 

cheers.

Unicorn.

Yes, indeed.

That's why I am looking into this and sharing the screen-shots, to get your feedback.

 

"WHY NOT THIS?" (Twiggs crossover): good point Walter. Thank you.

 

My understanding is that implicitly I take into account the fact that the cyan line has not crossed the red line. Which means that the cyan - red line crossing is the signal and the Twiggs Money Flow indicator is just a pretext, an excuse, or at best a warning.

 

Your remarks are always welcome, Walter.

 

cheers.

Unicorn.

Yes, I just noticed that I had been posting only "type 1" trades, "vmar icons".

To keep a proper balance I had to post "type 2 trades", "reject me baby" - I like this term better that "continuation" - "reject me baby" carries a lot more information.

 

there are cases of very shallow pullbacks, one alternative is the oscillator...

 

I guess that you mean to use the oscillator for entry timing, when the trade is a "type 2" or "reject me baby" trade. Please confirm this. A picture of this would also help a lot.

 

regards.

Unicorn.

CORRECTION: The correct phrasing is

Which means that the price - cyan line crossing OR the cyan - red line crossing is the signal and the Twiggs Money Flow indicator is just a pretext, an excuse, or at best a warning.

 

I have to research this further.

Your remarks are always welcome, Walter.

On my new updated aproach, I am about to use a higher time frame to see better context... so I agree on having a nice aerial view of the big picture...

makes sense... once price entered cyan/ red, oscillator signal can be used...

 

keep it testing... sounds good.... cheers Walter.

On new aproach... I will probably drop oscillators for timing... only vma`s...

There are deep and shallow pullbacks... maybe for the shallow pullbacks I will satisfy my scalping beast with ccit3 timings.. the rest will be with vma`s... working on it... I need a 36 hour day :doh: .... cheers Walter.

Good day Walter;

 

How do you classify this eurusd formation? What is your entry?

On 5min it looks somewhat better than on 220T

 

cheers.

Just a couple of quick questions, what is the black line with dots in, is that the 34 ema?

 

Also, have you already posted your codes for the signal vma and rainbow vma, sorry for asking but there's been loads of codes posted recently that I couldn't remember if you had.

 

Obviously without reading the code, what is the difference between yours and PYenners MT4 version, is it the stochastics element?

 

Looking at those last charts you posted, although it gave you a late entry on the cyan line, you're not going to get perfect entries every time, but I would imagine it will keep you out of more of the bad trades. Thats why I wouldn't mind coding this up and testing it myself if possible.

 

Cheers

yes. it is here http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/24/walter-s-forex-vma-trend-scalps-2558-8.html#post23547

True implementation of Vidya, as per the original Chande formulation.

yes Blu-Ray, I agree.

In reference to eurusd 05-11-2007, I am asking Walter if he would classify the formation as a correct setup; I am contemplating that if the setup is not "textbook perfect", chances are that the signal is not going to be perfect as well, and it is likely that the trade payoff will be meager (even for a scalp!). What do you think?

 

Thats why I wouldn't mind coding this up and testing it myself if possible.

 

Good idea, Blu-Ray. Looking forward to your charts and commentary.

 

cheers.

Hi Unicorn... a good day for you also ¡¡

 

 

formation there looks like a classic vmar icon, whenever you cross the magenta line and go out of the rainbow on first intention, followed by a contained pullback its a centrifugal iconic action...

 

about late timing with cyan line it may happen.... notice if you use red area exit, trade would still be working... cheers Walter.

Well Walter, I figured to use the yellow line vma(2,3,3). What do you think??

 

notice if you use red area exit, trade would still be working...

cheers Walter.

 

Yes indeed. Thank you for bringing this up. :thumbs up::thumbs up:

The profit would be approximately 5 pips more, BUT you would have to be in the trade 30 minutes more and withstand a 12 pip range chop. :fight:

I know I would find that very tough; and I would probably exit the trade sooner on account of the trade not moving in my direction after x bars. :frustrated::frustrated::frustrated:

 

I will have to find a better exit.

 

cheers.

Unicorn.

    • @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.
