I have used a lazy version of ema weighting that differs slightly from standard "ema_periods" there will be a conversion for it but I have not bothered working it out.
Bruce;

you are using wilders_ma; it is standard in the internal computation of adx; do you remember that Wilder created the adx?
In my post I was reminding this fact to you.

Take it easy.

The subroutines or diy function calls that you take for granted are not available within MT4 indicator programs,
I'm taking some time out and it might be permanent as far as MT4 goes.
Bruce;

You can try Amibroker; there is a free version to test that the programming suits your taste and requirements. It even downloads free historical data for your testing.

Or you can try Ninja Trader. For that you need to ask Sparrow.

Take care.

That was one of the reasons MT4 vma1 could not use Wilders or even the ema function, the ema would have ended up in the template file along with the fantail lines. Instead the ema's were done using up the indicator arrays that are limited to 8 in total. Use 6 emas and you can't do an oscillator unless you leave out the two Histo bars. It gets that sick dude. Its not software its knobbleware. There are ways around most of the knobbles but they are poorly documented or not documented at all and with even the most basic stuff there is this crazy treasure hunt you have to go on to maybe find out what they don't tell you. I don't have time for never ending runarounds. Again sorry for tuntrums.

Do you know of any free forex platforms or charting packages that have proper tick charts? They would be the alternative to excel for Volume work.

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.

Re: Playing with the VMAR`s open research

Hi all,

I took unicorn's suggestion and moved the Vidya into a seperate indicator, that way it is more reusable as well.
Walter: parameter's should be ADXPeriod:3, StochPeriod:5, EMAPeriod:3, MAPeriod:2
The MAPeriod is not configurable in unicorn's version, it's just for more final smoothing, but most likely the default value is fine.

I had a minor bug in the Vidya as well.

Here's also my first attempt of the sniper fx cci, i dunno if it is correct, hope someone can verify it. I used someone else's T3, dunno how well the results match up.

Cheers
