Playing with the VMAR`s open research

Recommended Posts

Hi Shreem

 

I think Blu-Ray will be doing a version for another platform.

But I have not kept up with who is doing what.

Ensign did get mentioned somewhere as being similar to another platform in common use, so there is hope for an Ensign version.

Minister for beach chairs, umbrellas and light refreshments?

Secretary for golf?

 

Umm, other things are catching up on me.

Gunna cost me a few days.

Vma4 might be next week.

Think I have got to the end of chasing turbo now, far enough anyway.

It is like we now have a starting position to go on from.

If that makes sense.

Maybe not so much rush for the next stuff.

Yeah, scalpetic.

Think it will need another line, bit more slow and steady, so the trader can better judge the market.

 

Maybe do an addon indicator that shows a line joining Close prices.

Or maybe Hi Lo Close, 3 lines to show volatility coz the fantail covers up the candles in MT4. These lines would be on top of the fantail where you can see them.

But could get cluttered up on screen...

Hello PYenner, thank fro your reply. Happy to know that Ensign was mentionned. Hope an indicator for VMAR will come out some time in the future for this platform.

 

I do really appreciated all the help that you give Walterw in developping indicators for his great method.

 

Using already rainbow sclaping of Linuxtroll for some time, I see that the addition that Walterw is putting in adding the concept of VMAR is a great development.

 

Will be very interested to see the VMA4 next week for MT4. I will use MT4 in the maintime that one get created for Ensign.

 

Again, a great thank to you and Walterw for all the great posts that you put on VMAR.

 

Sincerely

 

Shreem:)

Hi Walter,

 

Thanks very much for these threads Walter. I really appreciate the careful, thoughtful descriptions you have presented outlining this trading method. I find the videos clear and concise… great visualizations. Gracious of you to share.

 

Special thanks as well to PYenner for the time and effort you have put in and shared with this community. Without your contributions I would be sidelined, as I know absolutely nothing about programming and am probably too thick to learn. I particularly appreciate the templates and indicators in metatrader format.

 

With respect, I’d like to post this chart with a candle formation originally created by “Goldenequity” and introduced to the forex community on this board… this post:

 

http://www.forex-tsd.com/suggestions-trading-systems/7914-randycandles-information.html (post 577 is Godenequity’s)

 

As you can see, he uses dinapoli mas and looks for what he calls waterfalls and fans… a distant cousin to the rainbows you use.

 

I find the RandyCandles (Goldenequity’s first name is Randy I think) a very useful visual aid and am thinking they may help here in timing trades. (or at least provide a great visual.)

 

If you find this post off track or valueless, my apologies.

 

Again, thank you both.

 

Regards

Thank you sundowner (there was a movie by that name many many years ago)

 

Your post is welcome and appreciated, ideal stuff.

Yes I have hopes of building in visual aids too, so it is timely.

 

As for being thick, yes been there, now doing it in public, <sigh>...

It has been quite a challenge and there have been many mistakes.

Much confusion.

But slowly we get there, with a little help from our friends, as the song goes.

 

Regards to you Sundowner.

Thanks for the welcome PYenner and Walter.

 

Here are the templates and a detailed look at the use of RandyCandles posted on another site by one of the contributors. Sorry, too lazy this morning to look up his name. Yes Walter, they are heiken.

 

Basically, Goldenequity looks for specific candle formations which he calls zorros and chili peppers (alert candles) at market turning points...your laddering, for example. The document explains in detail.

Thank you sundowner

 

My view of what goes on inside our version keeps shifting.

The ADX approach we use has a problem with the horizontals lasting too long or even happening when they shouldn't.

I first thought the ADX worked in terms of prices, swings, but it now looks like one important part is effectively looking for long candles.

Long candles do go with laddering, but to have the length of the last longest laddering candle controlling how long the horizonal lasts is a bit single minded.

Trying to find a more logical approach, get more control.

 

Also didn't know MT4 lets you control the candles, that might fix our problem with the fantail covering up the candles maybe.

 

Thank you

One last post about timing a trade with RandyCandles and then I'll leave it to you folks to decide if it's worth pursuing. The difficulty with these candle formations is that the move following the entry candle (the candles following the alert candle) is sometimes not worth trading and I haven't sorted out how to know the difference.

 

These two charts are examples of timing trades using RC's. The first chart is a series of trades following the laddering that work very well as you will see, the other chart is of some trades didn't work out well.

 

Cheers

Yes sundowner

 

It has a lot of potential but that one major limitation.

Walters inspiration with the Horizontal effect is I believe all about just that problem and his use of 5min charts seems to help eliminate the less certain entries. But less sensible people like me tend to want to trade anything that moves, impatient. Quality entries are what it is all about.

 

Can I confess to being a bit phobic about heiken?

It confused the heck out of me the first time I tried to make some sense of it.

It was sad to see the thread on Randy fizzle out.

Maybe I am not the only one that finds heiken tough to penetrate :crap:

 

I don't know what will come out of this project yet.

But there sure is potential.

Cheers

Hi PYenner,

 

I couldn't agree more. Walter's inspiration about the HE is what attracted me to these threads. Brilliant really.

 

I look forward to your further posts and hope you will consider this brief digression into RCs as light diversion. I did not mean to shift your focus.

The slowest of the 3 lines is similar to VMA1.

So I'm attaching the fantail to that and maybe it will be ok on 5 min as well.

 

The middle line is like VMA3.

 

Not sure what color to make the lines, oh well....

If there are no strange problems, it shouldn't be much longer.

Hope it will be worth the wait.:)

Cheers

Peel a banana...

 

FantailVMA4 for evaluation.

 

Add FantailVMA4.tpl to the chart as a template (fantail).

Then add FantailVMA4Turbo.mq4 as an indicator (3 vma lines).

FantailVMA4.mq4 gets called by the template file, you don't need to add it to the chart.

 

Happy Trading :)

 

Arggh---

Another bug, will have to delete FantailVMA4.tpl

and repost it later when fixed

sorry yet again.

    • Date: 11th July 2025.   Demand For Gold Rises As Trump Announces Tariffs!   Gold prices rose significantly throughout the week as investors took advantage of the 2.50% lower entry level. Investors also return to the safe-haven asset as the US trade policy continues to escalate. As a result, investors are taking a more dovish tone. The ‘risk-off’ appetite is also something which can be seen within the stock market. The NASDAQ on Thursday took a 0.90% dive within only 30 minutes.   Trade Tensions Escalate President Trump has been teasing with new tariffs throughout the week. However, the tariffs were confirmed on Thursday. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports starting August 1st, along with 50% tariffs on copper and goods from Brazil. Some experts are advising that Brazil has been specifically targeted due to its association with the BRICS.   However, the President has not directly associated the tariffs with BRICS yet. According to President Trump, Brazil is targeting US technology companies and carrying out a ‘witch hunt’against former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, a close ally who is currently facing prosecution for allegedly attempting to overturn the 2022 Brazilian election.   Although Brazil is one of the largest and fastest-growing economies in the Americas, it is not the main concern for investors. Investors are more concerned about Tariffs on Canada. The White House said it will impose a 35% tariff on Canadian imports, effective August 1st, raised from the earlier 25% rate. This covers most goods, with exceptions under USMCA and exemptions for Canadian companies producing within the US.   It is also vital for investors to note that Canada is among the US;’s top 3 trading partners. The increase was justified by Trump citing issues like the trade deficit, Canada’s handling of fentanyl trafficking, and perceived unfair trade practices.   The President is also threatening new measures against the EU. These moves caused US and European stock futures to fall nearly 1%, while the Dollar rose and commodity prices saw small gains. However, the main benefactor was Silver and Gold, which are the two best-performing metals of the day.   How Will The Fed Impact Gold? The FOMC indicated that the number of members warming up to the idea of interest rate cuts is increasing. If the Fed takes a dovish tone, the price of Gold may further rise. In the meantime, the President pushing for a 3% rate cut sparked talk of a more dovish Fed nominee next year and raised worries about future inflation.   Meanwhile, jobless claims dropped for the fourth straight week, coming in better than expected and supporting the view that the labour market remains strong after last week’s solid payroll report. Markets still expect two rate cuts this year, but rate futures show most investors see no change at the next Fed meeting. Gold is expected to finish the week mostly flat.       Gold 15-Minute Chart     If the price of Gold increases above $3,337.50, buy signals are likely to materialise again. However, the price is currently retracing, meaning traders are likely to wait for regained momentum before entering further buy trades. According to HSBC, they expect an average price of $3,215 in 2025 (up from $3,015) and $3,125 in 2026, with projections showing a volatile range between $3,100 and $3,600   Key Takeaway Points: Gold Rises on Safe-Haven Demand. Gold gained as investors reacted to rising trade tensions and market volatility. Canada Tariffs Spark Concern. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports drew attention due to Canada’s key trade role. Fed Dovish Shift Supports Gold. Growing expectations of rate cuts and Trump’s push for a 3% cut boosted the gold outlook. Gold Eyes Breakout Above $3,337.5. Price is consolidating; a move above $3,337.50 could trigger new buy signals. Always trade with strict risk management.

    • What These Attacks Look Like There are several ways you could get hacked. And the threats compound by the day.   Here’s a quick rundown:   Phishing: Fake emails from your “bank.” Click the link, give your password—game over.   Ransomware: Malware that locks your files and demands crypto. Pay up, or it’s gone.   DDoS: Overwhelm a website with traffic until it crashes. Like 10,000 bots blocking the door. Often used by nations.   Man-in-the-Middle: Hackers intercept your messages on public WiFi and read or change them.   Social Engineering: Hackers pose as IT or drop infected USB drives labeled “Payroll.”   You don’t need to be “important” to be a target.   You just need to be online.   What You Can Do (Without Buying a Bunker) You don’t have to be tech-savvy.   You just need to stop being low-hanging fruit.   Here’s how:   Use a YubiKey (physical passkey device) or Authenticator app – Ditch text message 2FA. SIM swaps are real. Hackers often have people on the inside at telecom companies.   Use a password manager (with Yubikey) – One unique password per account. Stop using your dog’s name.   Update your devices – Those annoying updates patch real security holes. Use them.   Back up your files – If ransomware hits, you don’t want your important documents held hostage.   Avoid public WiFi for sensitive stuff – Or use a VPN.   Think before you click – Emails that feel “urgent” are often fake. Go to the websites manually for confirmation.   Consider Starlink in case the internet goes down – I think it’s time for me to make the leap. Don’t Panic. Prepare. (Then Invest.)   I spent an hour in that basement bar reading about cyberattacks—and watching real-world systems fall apart like dominos.   The internet going down used to be an inconvenience. Now, it’s a warning.   Cyberwar isn’t coming. It’s here.   And the next time your internet goes out, it might not just be your router.   Don’t panic. Prepare.   And maybe keep a backup plan in your back pocket. Like a local basement bar with good bourbon—and working WiFi.   As usual, we’re on the lookout for more opportunities in cybersecurity. Stay tuned.   Author: Chris Campbell (AltucherConfidential) Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
