Actually my request is for two plots of each, the one with the default ma_periods =2, and the other with ma_periods=1.
To be precise what I am asking for is:

chart1
ADX:2, EMA:2, MA:2, Stoch:2
ADX:2, EMA:2, MA:2, Stoch:2

chart2

ADX:3, EMA:2, MA:1, Stoch:3
ADX:3, EMA:2, MA:1, Stoch:3



I can relate to that. I will be looking for your post with the charts that I asked for, so that I compare them to my plots.

regards.

Everyone working on this project, Have a nice weekend guys.
Unicorn.

Here they go Unicorn... if you want a diferent time frame, you tell me...

with ma 2




with ma 1



the adxvma6test3 have the same inputs as previous chart.. (black and white)

Also a great weekend for you Unicorn ¡¡... cheers Walter.

Hello Blu-Ray;

Would you please describe the concept of the ccivma computation?
I am aware of the cci computation details; so your description could evolve around the cci computation, if that makes things easier.

I have noticed that you have uploaded the .eld file. Could you upload the .ela file as well?

Take it easy. Have a nice weekend.
Unicorn.

Re: Playing with the VMAR`s open research

Sundowner
Great to hear its working for you.
When I put in enough chart time to get the feel of the market it works well for me too.

If I understood MT4 better it might be easy enough to port things back to MT4 so maybe it will happen, but for the moment tools seem to be available in NT without having to hunt all over for them, so its about saving time and sanity.

With Sparrow being so capable it might leave me free to go searching in new directions without slowing down overall progress. His systematic approach is good to see.

There are still some MT4 things that may need exploring like fourier transforms and cluster indicators which may not have got started yet on other platforms. Time will tell...
Cheers

Just to say thanks again to Walter and PYenner for the fine work. I'll be sad to see the research on MT4 pass, and though I don't understand programming, it seems you've found a better platform and some knowledgeable partners.

Great team work is right.

PYenner, I had a successful week using your indicators and Walter's concepts trading 15 and 30 minute charts. Thanks for all the hard work.

Cheers

Hi Sundowner... I wouldnt say it "changed" strictly as all the trading concepts will basicly be the same... maybe we are evolving to a diferent platform where we can use tick charts and have all the great benefits of very fine tuned timing , specially for the scalping oriented folks including me...

Certainly a great team ¡¡ for wich I am so greatfull ¡¡

I see you had been trading succesfully with the three line combo on the setuping... can you remind me what was the red line... it looks very nice for trend confirmation...

keep up that success ¡¡... your chart postings are very helpfull, please keep them coming... thanks Walter.

Hi Unicorn

I haven't posted a chart for a while as I'm in a bit of a bounce mode at the moment, for example I've spent quite a bit of time trying to keep up with PYenner and converting his MT4 indicators into TS. So from then on I study the new ones but then keep bouncing back to the original VMA1 Rainbow, then study the newer one etc.

I was testing an extreme scalping method using entries off a 10tick chart, but kept getting slipped on the DAX, so now just studying which is the best direction to go in, but having so much choice in the different vma's, choosing the right one's proving hard.

The CCiVMA did seem okay for when the Horizontal Effect was in place, but sometimes took too long to turn. I think it might have a future, but I need to know which vma's and settings I'm going to use on the price chart first before I delve deeper into that.

I do like your charts, they seem very clear cut, I think this is what keeps bringing me back to the VMA Rainbow, as you can visually see the momentum happening, whereas you can't with just 2 or 3 lines on a chart.

Unfortunately I can't export the data out of TS into an ELA file, however I can send you the code in a PM if you want ( Rather than clutter up the thread ).

As for the computation, it's basically the code for the vma but instead of the vma based on the close, I changed it to the cci. However I am not that skilled in the department, like yourself and PYenner, where you can explain the indicator and it's full purpose.

Cheers

On my testings of this, I compared to some other combinations on the price pane, and unfortunately he had too much lag for timing purposes... that was my conclusion on this indi... he looks apealing, but doesnt perform that well.. lol cheers Walter.

Thank you Blu-Ray. I have understood the concept.

I don't use tradestation; I just read "ela"; no need for the eld file.

What are your results on an exit strategy? Have a look at the DAX chart on http://www.traderslaboratory.com/for...html#post23897 and join the discussion if you feel like it.

cheers.
Unicorn.
