Correction..
FantailVMA4Turbo is the one that you add as an indicator to get the 3 vma lines, with or without the fantail.

Think I need a holiday....

Here is the missing file FantailVMA4.mq4

If you have previously used the bad copy, you may need to shut down MT4 and restart it after the good copy has gone into the indicators folder. Otherwise it seems to keep using the old bad version, doesn't know it has been changed

Please let me know if it works or not Walter.

Hello Pyenner, thank for your reply. Will input the FantailVMA4.mq4 tonight when I get back from work and will keep you and Walterw updated how things are going. When I get the version for Ensign Software, will post an image here so that you can see it.

Sincerely

Shreem

Bruce.. this is the turbo :

I notice this diference between real time and reload offline...

REALTIME :



RELOADED :



That was with the original turbo version... I see this new vma4 would be one of the slow lines (yellow) of the turbo....

that real time plotting issue solved would finally get us on bussiness with vma4 turbo.... thanks Walter.

MT4 has some defects, this may be one of them.
With some other indicators I use, I notice on startup that when the chart data gap gets filled, the indicator does not get re-written properly.

So I often have to wait for the data loading to finish (watch the kb numbers in the bottom right corner), then shut down MT4 and start it up again. Get right looking results the second time.

Also there is some strange "time stretching" visible in charts when you compare different pairs which can be seen on 4hr charts in particular.

I have not used vma enough yet to be aware of a startup problem, but it would not surprise me if MT4 will need to be started twice before each session.

<sigh>

Either "Charts" tab then refresh or
right click on chart, then refresh
can help fill gaps in charts.
Again watch the kb's in the bottom right corner to see if data comes thru.
Also there will be a journal entry to say x bars filled in chart y if the Refresh found a gap in the chart data.

All of the vma versions I have been working on in MT4 have a problem I called glitches. It seemed like an HE was being triggered when it shouldn't.
A vma line often looks like it got shifted to the right when this happens.

In your 2 pix, the data looks identical yet the vma finds a difference.
It is interesting to see it happening on the slower lines too, I had thought it was just the faster lines that had the problem.

I have not tried running two identical charts side by side to see if they differ.

I mistrust MT4, the vma is sensitive to a single pip of difference, I think it is likely to be an MT4 malfunction/unreliability issue.

No Worries Bruce... I think vma4 its giving the leading line I expected to see... obviously I will not use it to look for the clean HE`s as I do with the previous versions...

I am not expert on MT4 but this type of phenomena (divergence betwwen real time plot/historical plot) I had only see it on the vma4... all previous vma versions, plot on realtime "exactly" as when you look to historical data on your chart... could some command there be missing ? dont go nuts my friend.. jejeje cheers Walter.
