Hi Walter, Pyenner and all.

Just wanted to say that the intitial ikon trade first described in this thread by Walteris a solid method.... But the introduction of the timing optimisation turns a solid method into a piptastic method. Kudos to you walter and pyenner. Simple, effective, and powerful. Today I traded ikon basic for pips on the pound yen (easy peasy) as we say here in Blightly. I dare to say it but... Walter theory is over for you .... now put it into practice because you have a killer system here. Times a wasting.

P.S

Does that now mean we can do away with green ma and black baseline vma. Walter. thx

So, at this point, how would you say this new setup is working? Initially you were very excited and I'm curious if that same fervor is continuing.

Are you trading this live with real money and seeing success or is this still in the trial and error stage?

Good trading!

PS
If you haven't stopped by the candlestick corner, I suggest you take a look when time permits. Awhile back I got a little irritated with you asking repeatedly about how I trade and there's quite a bit over in my little corner for anyone interested. It's amazing how complicated we can try to make things sometimes. The candlestick corner has enabled me to get back to the basics and I'm amazing myself.

Hi Brown... the fervor maybe is growing ¡¡ as thru more extensive research I had found more optimized timing methods... those explanations are on the other thread here http://www.traderslaboratory.com/for...html#post19142 if the VMAR Icon is working ? I would say its rocking... he was suffering of some lag before on his timing, now he will be more competitive with the new timing method...

I am still not trading forex live... originally my idea was to go live on forex on january next year, but as things are evolving so well I probably will go live sometime end of september or begining october... I like to have a good stable miriad of paper trades before going live, other wise its just wasting money...

so yes trial and error its still under way... thats how we got this beautifull optimizations ¡¡

Brown I do visit your corner once in a while and I am so glad to see your great inputs ¡¡ I have a great respect for you as a trader and analist... certainly the sharing process is a constructive one for the the one who shares ¡¡ cheers Walter.

Hey Island ... I see you grasped the edge here on the new timing ¡¡

about the lines plotted on 1 min chart, I still like to see all of them in my chart because I can still compare old vs new performances... also this black line still could be used for the exit optimization... (thought exits could be optimized on 5 min ) but on this stage of research I still look at all the lines... later we will see what we leave on the chart...

Glad you like this method Island... feel free to post charts ¡¡ cheers Walter.

I worked from Walters post here

I labeled each column using the same name Walter posted for each variable so hopefully it will be easy to follow.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Clym and welcome aboard ¡¡ I dont know what exactly happened with your post but now it did appear... interesting, I never knew excel could be used for charting... just curious, how do you feed data into excel ?

very interesting programing there, for what I see you got some nice chart there... feel free to interact.. cheers Walter.

Hi Walter

A picture of a first attempt at a turbo version.
Not sure if it will be too extreme.

Black is Fantail1
Yellow is turbo
Ignore Red, its just the switching signal to the VMA so I can see whats happening.

Try not to keep you waiting much longer but need some sleep.
Cheers

Pyenner, you rock man ¡¡ that relationship looks very clean and leading at the same time... I believe we will get to the point of getting to an "almost" perfect timing... great stuff ¡¡ cheers Walter.

Yes sharper but also the HE's tend to be shorter, it may need different lines in the fantail for timing. May be confusing at first. But 1-4 bars faster so worth a try...

well about HE`s ... if this particular version would be used for timing only we should be ok... the idea actually on this optimization is to get clean and leading entries... so let the HE from the previous version keep working for us in terms of settuping... I believe we will get to the point of using diferent versions for diferent definitions... cheers Walter.
