Re: Walter`s Forex "Trend Trades"

For the traders that are following this thread... here I attach the status of this research process...

So far I can say that the setuping is 100% defined on my research... now in terms of timing and exiting I find that VMA has some very interesting small variations to experiment with and get into some optimization... I will keep you all posted... please all suggestions are very welcome at this point... cheers Walter.

Re: Walter`s Forex "Trend Trades"

Sorry I sent a bad tpl.
Checked it first of course.
But must have overwritten the file somehow.
Seems I need to double check....

Re: Walter`s Forex "Trend Trades"

Sorry
After checking it I stuffed something up.

Try this version, same filename.
Kill the earlier version.

I loaded this last template of yours and it looks exactly the same to Igorads 2nd Version... maybe the template its not calling the new indicator... I superimposed the FantailVMA1 (red line)... by the way the crossings between the black and this red are interesting jejejeje...
thanks for all this Pyenner... cheers Walter.
Yes the new tpl was calling the old Igorad2 file, sorry.
The second attempt should be calling the right file.
So many modified files here its not funny...

In your chart the red line is the base line from FantailVMA1 and you can see the % difference in range of red and black (Igorad2).
It looks very close to Bemac on VT now (unless I stuffed that up too @#$&!).

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?

Re: Walter`s Forex "Trend Trades"

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.
