Jurik Moving Average

Anyone tried the JMA? I know its a proprietary indicator and it costs $.

Their website looks interesting and has a lot of data and results.

Any real-world testing done on their Moving Average???

Thinking it may be a good one to use with the Sidus methods, or even the Vegas style.

Thoughts?

I use to use the Jurik MA's. However, I found them to be so fast that you would get a lot of whipsaw action with them making it a little difficult to read. For instance, a normal 20 MA might read like a 10 MA when using the Jurik.

I'm sure many people can make this work but for me, I found the normal MA's work just fine.

You might want to look at the Hull Moving Average. In head to head testing, it may not be quite as good as the JMA, but it's free. The only thing the JMA has a clear advantage over the HMA, is that there is speculation that the JMA "resets" itself after a large price movement so that it does not have wacky readings for the next few bars.

If you're interested, the formula for the HMA is:

waverage(2*waverage(close,period/2)-waverage(close,period), SquareRoot(Period))

Let us know if you do decide to use the JMA though as I'm sure a lot of people would like to know if it's worth the money.

EDIT: I just reread your post. You probably want to shy away from either the JMA or the HMA if you're going to use it in a MA crossover system like the Vegas 1H and 4H Tunnel systems. Those systems rely on the lag inherent in SMAs and EMAs as a sort of noise/whipsaw filter.

Using the "laggy" MAs prevents you from entering into trades every time the market flinches one way or another. Just my 2 cents.

Is this the JMA indicator? I thought it's free.

How about a simple system of using a Hull MA and buy if price above and sell if below.

Use the ATR indicator to filter out if range is too small to make your spread.

make sense?? gotta look into it.

where can i find the MT4 code for Hull Moving Ave?

anyone tried the Guppy System with the Hull moving averages?

This is a Hull MA I have.

Maybe it will help

as far as HMAs go, I like this one better...

Has anyone tried to code Tushar Chande's Variable MA in mq4.

I utilize it sometimes in VT and prefer it over HMA.

Once you get there, to locate the code, follow...

btw. tonnes of other code there too.

What input values are you using for this indicator?

Jason

color 0 = blue, 1 = red, width = 2

period 20
method 0
price 0

I just have it on the chart to look nice, I don't really use MAs for anything so I have no idea if 20 is a good value or not...

The past few days I've just been following various MA indicators and some of them (like twoblinks T3 and these hull MA's) seem like they follow price nearly perfectly.

I've got to be missing something here. Why can't someone simply trade just based on these signals? Blue/Buy, Red/Sell. It's following price action really well and ultimately isn't that what you want to do?

Do these MA's determine their trend color based on the open of the bar and do they change at all or stay put (the ones that give buy/sell signals)?


Jason

the change in color is similar to a fast moving average crossing a slower one, or vice versa... so it really produces less clutter on the screen than 2 moving averages.

I think I was testing 2 LSMAs before and noticed this that the hull would change color almost exactly where the lsmas crossed over each other.

so if you can trade MA crossovers then you can trade the color change.

I don't see it wagging its tail.. but then again I didn't pay attention because this is just decoration for me... but I think I would notice if it was moving around since I look at the charts frequently. But of course try yourself tomorrow and see.

Hi folks,

Any one can please modify this indicator for Simple Moving Average only.

I just start learning MQL4, I try it many times but I couldn't do it

All the best

Does anyone know where jma.mq4 came from?

Has anybody tested jma.mq4 to see if it gives the same results as the actual Jurik JMA?

On Jurik's website there is there is an excel file showing actual JMA results against 16 different signals. Has anybody verified that jma.mq4 can duplicate those results?

Before I invest any time into jma.mq4 I'd like to know if it's the real deal.

Thanks for any help.
