    Hi Agustín

     

    Gee, that is a nice setup and Fisher looks to be doing a good job.

     

    H.E. means Horizontal Effect, its about the way vma lines go horizontal.

    This thread is one of a number of threads that Walter has started recently, all dealing with vma lines and growing towards becoming a good trading system, so there may be other threads that you can read more about vma.

     

    Looks like a nice analysis to me Agustin.

    Happy trading

    Hi PYenner. Thanks for your comments, they are important to me.

     

    Well, I understand now HE, jejeje, I have to read more, more and more...

     

    I attach the same chart of EURJPY, but I put some comments in aqua color. I would like to indicate that Fisher Yur4ik doesn't support a continuation we have waited for. (I must indicate that Fisher sign the inflexions onto the zero line, not on the curves).

     

    I attach the Fisher Yur4ik indicator in order to look for an optimization of this indicator on two ways:

    - I will appreciate if some of you use this indicator to test it. May be it can serve us to reach better decisions.

    - I am not a coder, then, if some of you can participate to test this indicator I must say that the signals that I added like point colors (lime and magenta) could have lags. If you want, we will need somebody like you PYenner to solve this problem.

     

    Thanks a lot guys.

    Hi Walter.

     

    Well. Your comments make me think strong about the lifestyle. I guess I will follow the combination 5m with 1m...

     

     

    I would like to take advantage of this post and attach a pic with some comments of the chart of 5 min that you used with the video "Lazy Centripetal Trade on EUR-JPY.swf". I add other indicator called Fisher with modifications of a guy called Yur4ik. I am not a coder, but I usually make modifications to the indicators in order to obtain Deltas or Signals. I modified the Fisher Yur4ik v2 indicator in order to obtain from it a delta signal, specially when the delta is above or below of zero line. You can see its signal like a circle of lime or magenta colors.

     

    The intention of add this indicator is because I would like to obtain comments from you or Pyenner (or any member). May be some of you had worked with this indicator and you have value comments about it. I see that Fisher Yur4ik sometimes shows in advance the next movements (more than other indicators, including Chimp indicator). I want to use it like a confirmation of the inflexions together with the Chimp indicator, but I wish more information about it, if some of you know it.

     

    I will appreciate your comments about Fisher Yur4ik indicator and my notes on the picture I attached here.

     

    Thanks guys.

    Hi all there.

     

    My appologizes, guys.:doh: I made a mistake :crap: with the chart that I included. It was of the pair EURUSD, instead the EURJPY of I was talking about.

     

    I included here the chart of the pair EURJPY.

     

    Thanks.

    yeap, you can perfectly trade that combination 30 min with 5min... its another lifestyle for shure... it requires another life time schedule to follow that,(diferent sleep, less longer happyhours distentions, etc) thats why I dont go any higher than 5 min on the setuping...

     

    Would be interesting if you are interested on following those timeframes to keep us posted on how it works... nice to interact with you cattus ¡¡ cheers Walter.

    Cattus :

     

    The axis blue line on the 5 min chart as I use actually is heavy enough to show you waves corresponding maybe to a 1 hour chart... so there is no need to complicate yourself looking bigger time frames...

     

    Now, if you are aiming to play longer moves (cycles) then its a diferent story... you will like to setup a 1/5th relation aprox. between "setuping" chart and "timing" chart, whatever suits more for your strategy...

     

    for example : 30min with 5 min or 4 hour with 1 hour etc...

     

     

    cheers Walter.

     

     

    Walter.

     

    I like the scalping system as you are describing (5 min with 1 min), but I asked about the climb of the trades because I was thinking in 5 min like the minor of the timframes (30 min with 5 min) in order to try to reach more pips. I don't know, may be this idea can help us, it can depend of the pair we are trading or the market condition in that we are... just thinking, just thinking... :idea:

     

    Thanks a lot for your helpful answers.

    I will try to answer Cattus :

     

    >>>What does Refresh mean for you in spanish? Refrescar, Retomar, Reanudar, Restaurar?>>>

     

    It means Refrescar, con la idea de "volver a"...

     

    >>>Why do you use Refresh to talk about tendency and to talk about an action? Sometimes I confuse with these terms. :confused: >>>

     

    We basicly here have two trend definitions, a centrifugal wich travels to the outside of the axis and a centripetal that travels back to the axis... So the Refresh Action ( " la accion de volver hacia" ) its the centripetal trend back to the axis..

     

    >>>Talking about timeframes. On this method (or system), do you see timeframes greater than 5 min? 15 min? 1 hr? Or it is not important for scalping techniques?>>>

     

    So far as to MY scalping method 5 min does ok... now, this method can perfectly be traded on larger time frames as well...

     

    >>>>I remember that I read that you don't use the 1 min chart, you use a ticks chart, it is correct? why?>>>>

     

    On my futures trading I do scalp with tick charts, for this forex research I am using 1 min chart for my timing, I am using mT4 (metatrader) and the smallest timeframe we got is 1 min... wich in forex does pretty well...

     

    >>>>The SMA of the chimp2_1 is of 4 bars. Is it important for the method, or can I change for another of 2 bars, for example?>>>

     

    that signal line its just for estetics jejeje... no use at all... even the oscillator has a very periferic use on the entire method, once the trader really got very used to his cycle measures of his trade, he perfectly can trade without the oscillator... I DO NOT time my trades with the oscillator, I use the 1 minute chart with the two vma`s...

     

     

     

    Hope this answered some... I like this interactions ¡¡ cheers Walter.

     

     

     

    Yes, Walter, the most of my questions were answered.

     

    Just one re-question:

     

    As I understand from your answer you work with only two charts on your screen (5 min and 1 min), and you mentioned that we can climb the method: from 5min+1min to, for example, 30min+5min or 1hr+15min. I put those pairs of charts because are approximate to the 1/5 of the time.

     

    But, due that I have the habit of work with at least 1 chart of bigger timeframe, like 4 hour or 1 hour, in order to know the big picture of the intra-day, I would want to know if somehow you also use a similar timeframe only to view the big picture of the day, or may be, with your experience, you recommend not to work with more than two charts simultaneously.

    Hi Walter and hi all there. Great club here!

     

    Thanks a lot, Walter, great videos. I need to review the videos of today:crap:, but I know they are great videos.

     

    I have some questions for you:

     

    What does Refresh mean for you in spanish? Refrescar, Retomar, Reanudar, Restaurar?

     

    Why do you use Refresh to talk about tendency and to talk about an action? Sometimes I confuse with these terms. :confused:

     

    Talking about timeframes. On this method (or system), do you see timeframes greater than 5 min? 15 min? 1 hr? Or it is not important for scalping techniques?

     

    I remember that I read that you don't use the 1 min chart, you use a ticks chart, it is correct? why?

     

    The SMA of the chimp2_1 is of 4 bars. Is it important for the method, or can I change for another of 2 bars, for example?

     

    Thanks.:)

    So far at this point we can say that we have a presentation of how a trade would setup for us...

     

    On the clean context of our 5 min chart with our three lines (2 of them are vma`s ) and our clean oscillator, we have the tools to understand if the market condition is or will be centrifugal or centripetal in relation to the axis... and from there on we are ready to aproach the diferent setups we may have on each of this contexts...

     

    This task I call it : SETUPING you are looking for setups...

     

    It is the first task you will make on the entire process...

     

    NOW... once you see a setup on your 5 min chart, here comes the great challenge ¡¡ : TIMING when will you take the trade ?

     

    We talked about inflections... thats where the cycles, end and start, thats the place to take our entries... BUT there is a big problem ¡¡ called NOISE... :crap: and if you observed the oscillator, most probably you already criticized how many false signal he gives.... well yes, thats absolutely true, thats why I dont use the oscillator for timing purposes... I prefer to just use him to tell me if a cycle may be ready for an inflection...

     

    So how can we get good timing ? vma`s is the good answer...

     

    continue on next post... cheers The Chimp.

     

     

    You are a teacher, Walter. It is very clear the concepts you are talking about. You understand and teach the movements of the market very clearly..:thumbs up:

     

    Thanks again to share to us your researches

    I will get started with trend...

     

    We need to have a clear trend definition in order to be confident to take any trade, be it trend or countertrend trade...

     

    I will be using a 5 min chart and a 1 min chart for this aproach...

     

    The 5 min chart help us to see the big picture, the 1 min takes us to the "specifics" of our trade...

     

    So I will start with the 5 min chart showing how we determine trend there...

     

    My 5 min chart its very simple, on the price pane we only have 3 lines...

     

    attachment.php?attachmentid=3529&stc=1&d=1193072262

     

    This three lines are :

     

    adxvma6_16 bar (40) (blue)

    adxvma6_12 bar (4) (green)

    tlomi non lag ma (9) (yellow)

     

    Hi Walter.

     

    Sorry, but I need some help.

     

    I have the VarMA_v1.1. I don't know if you mention the same indicator like "adxvma6_16 bar (40)" and "adxvma6_12 bar(4)". If it is your indicator, could you please tell me the setup in the follow variables:

    MA:Length

    VarMA:Length

    ADX:Length

    ADX_Type

    MA_Mode

     

    And, where can I find the "tlomi non lag ma" indicator for MT4?

     

    Thanks.

    hmmm.... I dont know what happened to that link, perhaps I may have accidently deleted it.

     

    Cattus, if you would like please let me know of any questions you have regarding price action. (please try to be specific) I will do my best to see if I can help answer them. Although price action seems like a specific topic, I tend to classify price action into pattern recognition, tape reading, TA, Level 2, etc...

     

     

    Hi Soultrader. Thanks for answer me.

     

    OK, there we go. You said that the price is your main indicator to trade (post #3), but you also said that you work with internal tools (such TICK, TRIN, prem, PC ratio, market profile and pivot points). I would like to know more about those internal tools. As I understand you wrote about them in the link "thread" you mentioned into this thread post #3, but at this time it doesn't work. Also doesn't work the link "thread" of "Why technical indicators are useless in trading " post #3.

     

    On the other hand, let me explain what is for me the price action.

     

    The price action for me is the reaction of the price to important support and resistance levels.

     

    It reactions could be Specific Patterns. Talking about candlesticks, I prefer the patterns such Hammers and Inverted Hammers (or the sum of two candlesticks: Piercings. That are equals to Hammers or Inv. Hammers). Why? because the Hammers and Inverted Hammers show us the pressure of the offer and demand. Also we have patterns like the Marubozu Patterns, that are very clears about the pressure of the offer and demand.

     

    The Important Levels (Support and Resistance) could be anything that it has proven technically that it is important for the market. I prefer these levels:

    - Pivot Point

    - The High and Low of yesterday

    - Lines of Murrey Maths

    - Trendlines

    - Chart Patterns

    - Fibonacci Patterns (AB=CD and others)

    - EMA or LMA of Finonacci numbers (55, 89, 144, 233, 377)

    - Levels of Fractals

     

    The indicators come after the price, but I think some of them can be very useful, like Stochastick, MACD, Fractals and Moving Averages. May be there are others that can probe be useful.

     

    Do you have a Thread where I can study some of my doubts or comment my ideas?

     

    Thanks.

    :)

    Price is my indicator :) I stopped using technical indicators years ago. Now the only tools I use are market internal tools such as the TICK, TRIN, prem, and PC ratio. I also use market profile and pivot points. Read this thread to learn more about my trading techniques.

     

     

    Hi Soultrader.

     

    I have a request. Could you please to review the link you write here like "thread" because it is not working? I am very interested in the price action techniques and I would like to read it.

     

    ***

    This is my first post here. I have just a short time to read, reason why I am advancing little by little with the topics that are more interesting for me. Anyway, I want to take advantage of this post in order to say that you and your colleagues have a great place to learn about trading. Thanks. :)
