It needs to be tweaked on the inside before it can go faster or slower properly.

VMA4 runs three versions of (almost) VMA3, one for each line, each adjusted for the speed of its line.
VMA3 does do smoother lines than VMA4.
I don't yet know how to do a single VMA that will adjust over the full range from very fast to very slow. It would be nice to have that so a fantail of vma lines can be called from a template.

ok I believe I understand something there...

you mentioned Bruce vma4 was using close... and vma 3 high and low... if that is the case can a version of vma4 use also high and low an still be a little more tighter than vma 3 ?.... thinking in loud voice.... thanks Walter.

Yes, think its a little slower but not much.

Looks like vma4 is overkill.
Faster than it needs to be.
Better to have stronger HE like vma3
and go back to using Hi and Lo.
What do you think?

I completely agree... unfortunately vma4 its to noisy... actually vma3 has this properties... if you could find a midle one between vma3 and vma4 (little tighter than vma3 but not so noisy like vma4) we would be complete... thanks a lot Bruce ¡¡ cheers Walter.

Hi Walter and PYenner,

I've been playing with the timing some and I thought I'd offer this for your consideration. Seems to have potential... figured you wouldn't mind since this thread is for casting about ideas.

What I've done is add a dinapoli ma to the charts (3 sma, shift 3, close)

I am thinking Walter's notion of the HE in combination with his idea of determining trend / trade direction works very well.

My thought is this for now - trade in the direction of trend and use the HEs and 3 sma and we might have a solid entry/exit potential.

The charts I am posting are of the VMA1 and VMA3 both on five minute charts with the 3/3 sma.

Again, not trying to deflect your thinking here...just sharing an idea.

Please ignore the candle formations if they're distracting. I just like the visual.

Regards

I will need to come back to this later.
My head is too full now.
Can see the potential and yes candles need work yet too.
Thank you and don't be discouraged if I skip past this for now.
Cheers
