The Chimp`s "Forex Trades"

Recommended Posts

Hi PYenner and Walter,

 

If you wouldn't mind, indulge me one more time and have a quick look at these charts... then I'll let things go. The basic concept here is classic support and resistance. My information comes from Martin Pring.

 

PYenner, what I have tried to do here is to illustrate some pretty classic analysis working with your indicators on the 60 minute chart. My inexperience makes precise definition of s/r, let's say uncomfortable, yet I have seen prices respect these (past) levels time and time again.

 

My opinion is that fundamentally the market is driven by psychology as even the shakers and movers in this market are human beings and respond to defined markers.

 

What I am looking for is indicators that will define the turning points, and yours do quite well...the other thing I have difficulty with is the draw down.

 

Profitable or not, correct direction or not, it's hard to watch the market move against you as far as it can and still hold on if you're using real money.

 

At any rate, I appreciate you taking the time.

 

Regards gentlemen

 

 

S&R... yes... actually this analisis eventually gets automatically discounted on the vmar setups, as you most probably will take trades from very good competitive S&R levels... determining them its some times hard, any algorithm of S&R, be it pivots, fibos, MP levels etc, have 50/50 performance in terms of rejections... all of this levels nornally have two posible outputs : break or hold... so the levels are not so important as the capacity of anticipating a break or a hold... and thats where momentum readings (from my perspective) give you the edge on your trading, as it should give you the discernment on anticipating breaks or holds...

 

Now once you have a perception of momentum thru vmars, you clearly get good in anticipating breaks or holds from some good clear levels, whatever they be... so THE SKILL is "Momentum Discernment"... did you see the video series ?... cheers Walter.

Hello Bruce;

I thought that you have transferred to Ninja Trader.

Have opened a Ninja account and an EFX account but have not taken on the learning curves with either. Significant programming efforts will probably get done in NT and only easy stuff done in MT4. I still use MT4 charts for trading and for my own currency based indicators which are what I have been working on for 9 months and am still working on because they are central to my trading but they are difficult to interpret still. Walters vma entry timing is now used for trading as well. I will still be using MT4 and doing basic programming jobs in MT4. I may start trading futures and I may switch to an ndd for forex but if either happens it will probably be next year.

I realize that cleaning up the code is not your priority, BUT please explain

1) why the _16, or _12 or _6 suffixes, I thought that they are minor fixes...

They were identical copies of vma6 with just ADX_Bars preset to the suffix value shown in the file name. Any one of those versions could be set to any value of ADX_Bars. We were experimenting with a fantail of vma lines at the time and that was the quick way to make up a bunch of lines to see what fast lines and slower lines had to offer. Walter used other values for ADX_bars in each of the versions he finally chose for trading, that was the intention from the beginning, keeping those options open without needing further programming at each step. The line colours could also be changed.

 

That group of vma6_nBar lines used..

double WeightDM=ADX_Bars, WeightDI=ADX_Bars, WeightDX=ADX_Bars, ChandeEMA=ADX_Bars;

So changing the ADX_Bars number also changed the smoothing.

The fancy stuff like VI squared was commented out in the code.

 

Yeah, there are too many threads and too many posts to find this stuff now.

On the 1min chart 6bar was used (and set to 6) and 4bar (but set to 3).

On the 5min chart 12bar was used (but set to 4 bars).

The 5min trend line used 16bar (but set to 40 bars).

It made sense at the time even if it seems nuts now.

2) why the _test3 ? what are you testing? what is the outcome? better, worse?

Test3 was the final test, it became adxvma6 (without the "testn").

3) what is the minor bug?

I repeatedly got confused over the stochastic loop counting and live bars versus historical bars and it still needs to be sorted.

The adxvma6 used...

if (Out>Out[i+1]){HHV=Out;LLV=Out[i+1];}

else {HHV=Out[i+1];LLV=Out;}

for(j=1;j<ADX_Bars;j++)

{

if(Out[i+j+1]>HHV)HHV=Out[i+j+1];

if(Out[i+j+1]<LLV)LLV=Out[i+j+1];

}

It was intended that the first comparison of two bars (one may be live) would be done before the loop and the loop would be used only for 3 bars or greater, but that isnt how it was working...

Should have used...

if (Out>Out[i+1]){HHV=Out;LLV=Out[i+1];}

else {HHV=Out[i+1];LLV=Out;}

for(j=1;j<ADX_Bars-1;j++)

{

if(Out[i+j+1]>HHV)HHV=Out[i+j+1];

if(Out[i+j+1]<LLV)LLV=Out[i+j+1];

}

 

What difference does it make?

When you ask for ADX_Bars=2, you get 2 ok.

But when you ask for 3 you get 4 instead.

And so on, ask for 4 get 5 etc.

With the adxvma6_nbar series this will mean using different numbers for adx_bars and also for ema smoothing on other platforms and there may be a further complication with the smoothing weights needing to be different (may need to use numbers other than whole integer values).

I have coded adxvma6 in Amibroker but the vma curves I get are not identical to what Walter has on the posted charts.

What I worry about is the following:

a) there might be a small bug that creates the difference ; small BUG - big disappointment!

b) I certainly do not want the good attributes of the adxvma6 to be due to a small bug; and I certainly hope that after the bug is fixed, the shape of the adxvma6(adxbars=6) will not be transformed and become less successful in indicating the horizontal effect and the laddering.

Fixing the bug made very little difference in the comparison I did but it was not a comprehensive comparison. The problems with matching ami version curves to mt4 version curves may arise if you used an internal ema function then my ema weights dont correspond exactly to the regular formula for weighting ema smoothing and slightly different numbers (eg 3.3 instead of 3.0) may be needed to match the curves. The hand coded version of the adx used in the mt4 version will also differ from an internal adx function in ami. The priority had always been to stay close to the VT adx version that Bemac used and that meant hand coding it across platforms. MT4 does not have a Wilders function and iMAon Array has "known issues" so the ema smoothing got hand coded as a result, the weighting formaula used may not be standard, again it made sense at the time. Frankenstein's workshop stuff.

Drives ya nuts doesn't it?

Cheers

Bruce

Hi Unicorn,

 

To answer your questions:

 

Green ADXVMA6 Bar (6)

Red ADXMA4 (4)

The white line is a DECEMA 12, virtually identical to the HMA 9.

 

I was not at my computer at the time of the first indicated trade, and it was well on its way so I waited for the retracement, hoping to see a continuation of the trend.

 

Exit when decema (white) turns to cross red (4). I struggle with exits.

 

Hope that answers your questions.

 

Thank you sundowner, your answer is crystal clear.:thumbs up::thumbs up:

 

Is your entry

the red vma(4) crossing the green vma(6)

or

the white decema(12) crossing the red vma(4) ?

 

 

could you please post the mq4 code for the decema?

 

regards.

Unicorn.

MT4 does not have a Wilders function and iMAon Array has "known issues" so the ema smoothing got hand coded as a result, the weighting formula used may not be standard, again it made sense at the time.

 

Hello Bruce;

 

wilders(value, wilders_periods) = ema(value, 2*wilders_periods -1);

 

hence

 

wilders(c, 3) is ema(c, 5)

 

wilders(c, 4) is ema(c, 7)

 

wilders(c, 5) is ema(c, 9)

 

wilders(c, 6) is ema(c, 11) etc.

 

Now, I mention this because you guys are missing intermediate settings; in the above cited examples from smoothing using ema of 5 periods your implementation jumps to 7, and then 9 and 11 ema periods.

 

Your programming the adx computation in order to have an additional smoothing (for a total of three smoothing operations as opposed to Wilder's two smoothing operations) may be lacking some effectiveness on account of using half the resolution because you move in ema_period steps of 2 i.e ema_periods = 5,7,9,11 as opposed to 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11. I hope that my point is clear. Wilder did not mind that; then again he did not have any use for three smoothing operations; he was not scalping.

 

Bruce (and Sparrow) you can code the vma

 

vma[j] = (1 - f*f_adx) vma[j-1] + (f*f_adx) C[j] ;

where f = 2 / (ema_periods +1)

 

and f_adx is the stochastic_adx value.

 

in the stochastic adx smoothing operations you can use

 

smooth_x[j] = (1-g) * smooth_x[j-1] + g * x[j];

 

for the PDM, PDI, Out, etc.

 

Then adxvma(6) will correspond to the new implementation using

weightdm = weightdi = weightdx = 2*6 - 1 =11

stochastic_periods = 6 (the one called adx_bars) in the following code

 

for(j=1;j<ADX_Bars;j++)

{

if(Out[i+j+1]>HHV)HHV=Out[i+j+1];

if(Out[i+j+1]<LLV)LLV=Out[i+j+1];

}

 

and ema_periods = ChandeEMA = 11; the ChandeEMA variable in

MA=((ChandeEMA-VI)*MA[i+1]+VI*Close)/ChandeEMA;

 

 

Hope this helps in cleaning up the code. ;) ;)

 

cheers

Unicorn.

Hi Walter, PYenner, Unicorn and sundouner.

 

Great interaction that you have here. It looks like a pretty game seen from the chairs of a stadium.

 

Hi Unicorn, thats precisely what I am working right now... taking some decisions into wich is the better combination of indicators... so I am letting the sands settle down and once I get the most simple and optimized combo I will make it public on a new thread... my idea is going live with that defined combination and be consistent posting my live trades during a year at least...

 

So that thread will be diferent to the research threads as it will show something already defined and used on the live realm... it will be cool... cheers Walter.

 

Walter, already I am moved by this commentary, I will be waiting for this thread with anxieties....... I have some doubts as those that Unicorn mentioned...

 

 

...even I am still not convinced of using NT as it has data problems... cheers Walter.

 

It is really a very important point... NinjaTrader has 3 forex sources of data and as I understand the confidence order of the data is: TradeStation, eSignal and the last could be data form Gain Capital. But to obtain any of them in order to work with live data as I understand we must pay for, or open a live account with TradeStation or Gain Capital...This condition make me think if it is better to compare NT with other chart packages like Amibroker, Ensign, or any other that have charts with ticks or seconds at least.

 

NinjaTrader has excellent capacities and also it allows to work with a different kind of markets, But I think it would be advisable to develop more this topic...

 

Regards.

Yes it does drive me nuts. Walter is putting in a lot of time. You have put in a lot of time. I have put in a lot of time. Now that Walter wants to come up with the final formulation, I believe that the tools that he and we will use must be in top shape. That's why I will help you clean the code. As a matter of fact I already did. The following code incorporates my suggestions for higher ema resolution.

 

The added benefit is that this code will run faster, as it by-passes the Wilder's divisions in the previous implementation. Divisions need more cpu time than multiplications.

else Out=0;

}

 

// ENJOY

 

ok guys. Try this modification and let me know.

 

 

NB. I don't run MT, so I have not compiled and tested on that platform.

 

Take care.

Unicorn.

Hi Unicorn,

 

My entry is white crossing red or green depending on trade direction. I want to see price cross both and don't trade if there is too much travel between lines.

 

I am unable to determine trend fatigue and, as I said, struggle with exits using the vmas or chimp 2-1 turning, sometimes s/r. I'm hoping someone will come up with something better.

 

I will attach the mq4 file of the decema, but I have switched to using sma1.

 

Cheers

Hello Sundowner

 

thanks for the code.

Walter is using BOP divergence to enter countertrend trades. You can use them to exit your trend trades. Study the info on the Futures Scalps thread.

I think it will work great, when there is a divergence and price crosses a trendline to confirm that actually the trend is over.

 

Give it a try and post a few charts.

 

cheers

Unicorn.

Agree and thanks for sorting out the issues including using a sensible stochastic loop. Its a pity it was not done in a consistent portable way from the start.

 

It is only the human preference for whole numbers that restricts the resolution, the ema number is an unrestrictive double and is not confined to integer values. Portability is the benefit.

Thank you

Bruce

It is only the human preference for whole numbers that restricts the resolution,

 

TRUE. Then again these whole numbers correspond to bars and it makes a lot more sense to our technical analysis background to say that we apply a 6 bar stochastic to a 10 bar or 11 bar ema smoothed modified adx and all this is used to compute a 10 or 11 or 12 ema_period vma.

 

the ema number is an unrestrictive double and is not confined to integer values.

 

Indeed. I just cannot clearly understand what a 3.5 bar ema is;

well, yes it is an ema faster than a 4 bar ema and slower than a 3 bar ema; ok this is as far as I will interpret it.

 

But I may also point out that the adxvma(6) sometimes is a 7.5 bar ema and other times a 10.3 bar ema. Fine.

 

Lets do it for portability's shake.

The likely benefit will be an insightful observation by someone reading this thread.

 

What is amazing is that very few folks post charts, as if they are not sure it's worth their time :shrug::shrug::hmmmm:; perhaps readers are wondering if we are using a bona fide vma, or waiting for Walter to say "this is the final setting for this trade setup".

OR they are using this method to trade profitably and they think that we are overdoing it with this analysis. :haha::haha:

So far at this point after some testings I am more inclined to use mt4 ...

 

its true I dont have tick charts there but still its good for forex vmar trading and I never had any data issues there... cant go live tradimng on a platform that sometimes haves 2 or 3 hours of data gap (forex data) ... its not responsable, I am very glad with all the super indicators we got there,I know they will be usefull for lot of people, still data issues are not good... cheers Walter.

The insights and the analysis are good, necessary.

Posting charts and a trading log is not realistic for me.

I am trading it profitably and that is one priority.

I run two other businesses and them and their customers are also priorities.

The timing of the tidy up is a lesser priority for me because it has to be, I have prior obligations to many others particularly over the xmas silly season.

If you wouldn't mind, indulge me one more time and have a quick look at these charts... then I'll let things go. The basic concept here is classic support and resistance. My information comes from Martin Pring.

 

 

Sundowner;

 

I see divergence (warning of trend change);

Then I see trendline break (confirmation of trend change) thus EXIT.

 

I think that Pring is a good source for divergence.

 

Take it easy.

Thanks for the input Unicorn, nice looking charts.

 

As you know I use metatrader, and if I understand correctly your divergence indicator does not translate. Trend line break ...very good idea.

 

Here's a trade I took this evening (Sunday about 6:00 pst)..if only they were all as stress free as this.

 

Thanks for your input this weekend guys. I appreciate it.

 

Have a nice week.

the BOP indicator can be ported just fine.

you can certainly type the code for BOP and have your own indicator.

Hi sundowner.

 

Do you have a subscription in the section elite of TSD forum? I asked there for someone that code the BOP indicator, and igorad did the indicator. I know that the code is very easy, but as I am not a coder I preferred that a coder make the indicators. The result is a good indicator because the igorad's version permit us to pre-smooth the indicator and to choose the kind of a moving average that we can use.

 

If you do not have the subscription, I would have to ask him to permit us the free use of that indicator.

 

Cheers.

Hi,

 

Please try to test updated version of BoP with new value BOP_Mode:

0- original(Livshin's version)

1-advanced with a bit different formula:

 

BOP = (C - C[1])/(TrueHigh - TrueLow)

 

I think this formula should work more correctly(especially with gaps).

 

Regards,

Igor

    • Date: 29th March 2024. GBPUSD Analysis: The Pound Trades Higher But For How Long? The global Stocks Markets are closed due to Easter Friday (Good Friday). The NASDAQ continued to follow the sideways trend while other indices again rose. The SNP500 reaches an all-time high, but the NASDAQ remains under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple. The Euro continues to trade lower against all major currencies including the US Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen. The British Pound is the best performing currency during this morning’s Asian session. However, investors are largely fixing their attention on this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. GBPUSD – The Pound Trades Higher but For How Long? The GBPUSD is slightly higher than the day’s open and is primary due to the Pound’s strong performance. At the moment, the British Pound is increasing in value against all major currencies. However, the US Dollar Index is also trading 0.10% higher and for this reason there is a slight conflict here. If investors wish to avoid this conflict, the EURUSD is a better option. This is because, the Euro depreciating against the whole currency market avoiding the “tug-of-war” scenario. The GBPUSD is trading slightly lower than the 2-month’s average price and is trading at 49.10 on the RSI. For this reason, the price of the exchange is at a “neutral” level and is signalling neither a buy nor a sell. The day’s price action and future signals are possibly likely to be triggered by this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. Analysts expect the Core PCE Price Index to read 0.3% which is slightly lower than the previous month but will result in the annual figure remaining at 2.85%. The PCE rate is different to the inflation rate and the Fed aims for a rate between 1.5% to 2.00%. Therefore, even if the annual rate remains at 2.85%, as analysts expect, it would be too high for the Fed. If the rate increases, even if only slightly, the US Dollar can again renew bullish momentum and the stock market can come under pressure. This includes the SNP500. Investors are focused on the publication of data on the UK’s gross domestic product (GDP) for the last quarter of 2023: the quarterly figures decreased by 0.3%, and 0.2% over the past 12-months. This confirms the state of a shallow recession and the need for stimulation. The data, combined with a cooling labor market and a steady decline in inflation, increase the likelihood that the Bank of England will soon begin interest rate cuts. In the latest meeting the Bank of England representatives did not see any members vote for a hike. USA500 – The SNP500 Rises to New Highs, But Cannot Hold Onto Gains! The price of the SNP500 rises to an all-time high, before correcting 0.33% and ending the day slightly lower than the open price. Nonetheless, the index performs better than the NASDAQ which came under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple which hold a higher weight compared to the SNP500. For the SNP500, these 3 stocks hold a weight of 9.25%, whereas the 3 stocks make up 14.63% of the NASDAQ. The SNP500 is also supported by ExxonMobil’s gains due to higher energy prices. The market will remain closed on Friday due to Easter. However, the market will reopen on Monday for the US and investors can expect high volatility. Investors will also need to take into consideration how the PCE Price Index and the changed value of the US Dollar is likely to affect the stock market next week.
