I appreciate so much your explanation about the position of the stop loses, it has been very helpful to understand this dimension of the scalping method.

About the different templates you uses, I guess that could be good for us if you show us the inputs of the vma's. May be if you take a little time to open the inputs onto the videos, it will be enough for us.

Note: I use the charts of 1 hour just to see the context. All my questions about climb (scaling) the trades were thinking on trading the five minuts cahrts, mmmh, for example, the entry could be onto the 1 min chart, but the take profit could be at the end of the Chimp (cross), or at fixed profit taking a support/resitance of 5 min chart. Remember, I'm only thinking about it posibility.

Regards.

Hi Agustin... I believe that at this stage of the vma research we have presented the overall concepts and we develepod various types of ways to see basicly the same thing... what thing ? : centrifugal and centripetal action... we presented how vma`s on diferent type of presentations can be used for timing as well... and also presented how oscillators can be used for timing as well...

Ironically this could give a sensation of making things complicated... well they actually are... we are inside the BMW factory with all the engines disarmed in 1000 pieces... BUT this is going to evolve finally to a very simplified and optimized product as we can clearly see that the central column of the aproach is very simple and that the vma edge has already shown its clear existance... so we are having various presentations of a same aproach...

your time frame "climb" actually happens depending on the strategy and also on how you use the indicators on the smaller time frames.. we will discuss this ahead...

About the tools, lets say we are still testing various inputs YET...

we keep interacting... cheers Walter.

I gladly want to thank you all for the time and effort.

I appreciate your explanation on the video but I took a couple note's

1 entry @ 165.63 or 62 cross line (1min) no cross off the oscillator (5min)
2 cross off the oscillator @165.66 (5min)
3 top @ 165.74
4 flat line @ 165.70 (I think to take profit)
5 exit cross line @ 165.67 (1min)

now the profit 165.67 - 165.63 = 4pips profit but - spread and spread = 3 to 5 pips depending on broker
so the profit is 1pip or -1pip and I think that not many brokers allow this

so is the 1min time frame well enough for this trades

sorry for my bad letter in English

Hi Nicforce, welcome aboard ¡¡ glad you like what you see ¡¡

Excellent questions ¡¡ here you can see how we are on a "good crisis" of multiple alternatives... that happens because I am doing an "open research" wich means I am not taking into my threads I final product YET... but I am bringing an idea and I am developing it together with a great interactive and generous comunity of traders and programers...


so let me try to answer this good questions :

questions 1 and 2 you have two timing alternatives... alt 1 : with the vmas (crossover type) on the smaller time frame... alt 2: with the oscillator on the large time frame... each one has diferent pros and cons... I personally would be inclined to the first alternative as it really takes the very best from vma`s...

question 4 Yes¡¡ I agree... take profit.. thats what I call inteligent exit... each one of this waves have an average length you can see that it has a nice normal lenght to take profits there... the HE of the yellow line told us it was over... good observation NIc ¡¡

question 5 and the rest : yeap to small profit on that exit... not competitive, thats why I prefer to do more trades with inteligent exits than wait for super moves that finally dont happen...

NicForce, thanks for interacting... keep them coming ¡¡ cheers Walter.

Walter, it's very good of you to research forex trading strategies using your experience, skills, knowledge and efforts, all for our benefit. Thank you, and I must say I am very impressed. Thanks also to James for making this facility available to us.

You mentioned that you would only go live in 2008. Are you still on schedule, or do you think you have tested the Chimp's Forex Trades enough on demo?

I will continue to study your threads. You have posted so much stuff it will take me some time. But I am excited by what I have read so far, and want to make contact, and start asking questions. Hope you don't mind. Thanks.

Welcome aboard Hawkeye ¡¡ glad you like it... feel free to interact...

So far on intensive research, I am very near to find my confort zone in forex... cheers Walter.

Hi Walter,

Since you've expressed an interest in trades on higher tfs, I thought I'd post these trades to start the week.

Hi PYenner,

If you have any ideas regarding "ladder exhaustion" that don't involve programming, I'd love to hear them. So far I am looking at distance moved (weak) and camarilla lines (maybe) and price crossing the vmas twice.

Have nice week, all.

Regards

Still searching, nothing is clean enough, as you say- weak and maybe, needs too much thinking and leaves too much uncertainty. Hoping volume may help if it is used in a less clumsy way, some interesting thoughts but vague still.
With Chimp3_1 it can help a bit to add level lines somewhere between + 0.3 to +0.5 and -0.3 to -0.5 to help distinquish the more important peaks from the less important peaks, longer period charts may need different marker levels than the shorter period charts.

NIce chart Sundowner... are you following this ? how is it going ? cheers Walter.

Hi Walter,

Yes, the charts I posted are the charts I have been working with for while, with some variations, stopping now and then to try some of the new stuff you posted when you were still working with mt4. Trading can be really bouncy with this, and yes overall, it's working well so far this week...good run up on eur/jpy and no significant chop on either chart.

I am experiencing some difficulty with exits and knowing when ladder exhaustion is about to occur. .. still feels like guessing while live trading so I'm experimenting with some of the things I mentioned in my earlier post hoping to increase my comfort level.


Cheers
