Walter`s Forex "Trend Trades"

Yes I need to post charts but maybe some words will do for now.

ADX_VMA_Eval_1Min.mq4 was done to look at what difference it makes to sample different amounts of time. Bemac and Igorand used 16 periods.

On a 1Min chart that is a 16 minute view of the past.
On a 5Min chart that is an 80 minute view of the past, 16x5.
The 80 min view gives a longer flat area, 16 minute view gives a shorter flat area.

There are multiple possibilities-
Bemac will have fiddled with different periods and settled on 16 as the best general purpose number for all charts but if we can find more variables to fiddle with then we might improve on Bemac.

The 1 Min chart in particular might benefit from having slightly different periods. If you set the sampling on a 1min chart to 80 periods or 80 min it will show a very smoothed out base line. If you zoom out that chart and compare it to a zoomed in 5min chart so they show the same amount of time, there will be similarities in the base lines.

So, you could have a 1min chart showing a normal 1min base line, another line showing a 2 min curve, another 3 min etc, each flatter and slower to bend than the one before. All on the 1 min chart.

There are possiblities for zany ideas. Inspiration. Most turn into junk but thats just life. Sometimes there is a payoff for thinking outside the square.
If you can handle all the extra confusion that is....

OK Walter
Here is a picture of a period rainbow.
A scalping guide maybe?

Similar thing but using Igorad2 which is better.

Pyenner : what you actually bring here is a complete new set of VMA`s that envision a posible new set of epiphany`s ¡¡ just very interesting stuff ¡¡ I can not still say how they could actually be used or taken the most advantage from... but it certainly calls my attention as the core techniacal issue of this thread plays arround the "horizontal effect" and what I can see here is that you are basicly taking the horizontal effect to the next level...

Please Pyenner if its not a problem can I open a new thread to play intesive on this variations, I must confess I have a glad mambo and would like to re-organize this last indicators of yours and discuss thourogly about them and the alternatives we can play with them... tell me if there is no problem I will start that right now... cheers Walter.

Site was down today so couldnt add much here but here is a 5 min chart where you can see this icons how they give you an entry on the best spot of a potential move... cheers Walter.

And here we have another example of what type of evolutions (optimizations)can be possible thanks to the unresting research souls...

In this case Pyenner has posted a new version of the VMA wich outperforms Igorad 2 and you know what ? it even outperforms VT original version ¡¡

Pyenner vs Igorad 2



Pyenner vs VT




Congratulations Pyenner ¡¡ and thanks for your non easy conformity....

For the sake of simplicity I once again attach the last Pyenner indicator and template... cheers Walter.

You're all doing great job. I wish you all tons of pips and keep on researching, it helps traders like me. As you say the power is in simplicity and I totaly agree with this statement cheers drchemik

Another comparisson on the 5 min... Pyenner vs Igorad 2 ... notice the horizontal effect and the ladder effect on the Pyenner version.. nice and clean... cheers Walter.

Agree, it belongs on another thread.
It will take time figure things out with VMA.
This thread needs to progress without being delayed by VMA issues.

FantailVMA1 is more like Igorad2+, it is a bit closer to Bemac's flat areas.
I want to do another change to get it closer still in the way it follows a trend.
