Quoting firehorseDislikedHi,I'm floundering a bit here.
The original 4 hr tunnel should be profitable but I think I don't understand the rules properly because I cannot as yet duplicate the original results.
The new 20pip rule by Diallist seems even better but I can't seem to duplicate his results from the above post as yet. There's a misunderstanding somewhere.
The updated rules by vegas seems to be in development and there is nothing to compare against at the moment. I would prefer if I could understand the discrepancies above before moving onto another system along this theme.
Best regards

Quoting keris2112DislikedHi all,
I've been a member here for a while, but I don't think I've ever posted. I post a lot at other forums and just never quite got around to FF very often. Wow, was that a mistake. You guys are great.

Quoting AntraDislikedHi Keris,
I too have been playing around with the vegas tunnel and trying to work out how to trade it in a more mechanical fashion.
I came across the HMA a few weeks ago and found it to be a pretty good little indicator. Seems to have very little lag.
The one I have been using is 'HMA in colour'.
It changes colour as the trend turns...but here is the problem.
I am not 100% sure that once the bar has finished that the colour will remain changed.
Anyone willing to test it?
I first thought of putting this indicator on the weekly chart in place of the 28ema that Vegas mentioned as it seemed ( to me) to be giving more direction.
Anyway this is the HMA in colour on a setting of 21Ignored
Quoting diallistDislikedWow Alan! Why is there so much difference in our charts? Could someone else compare their chart to mine and Alan's and let us know which one is right, if either? Thanks.

Quoting lwoo034DislikedOne thing I would LIKE to try (but don't have the software to do as I don't believe there is a release for any of the free charting software I use) is to try the Jurik MA. JMA may be even better than HMA - has anyone got the facilities to check this?Ignored
Quoting keris2112Disliked
BTW, both JMA and HMA are good. HMA is a little faster and JMA is can be a little smoother.
Here's a pic showing the differences.

Quoting volanDislikedSince 8/55 crosses are such an important part of the system I was wondering if you could add the 55 SMA to the chart so that it can be seen where they cross and how much of a difference there is between each line.Ignored
Quoting firehorseDisliked23/01/04 Diallist has a short trade where I calculate momentum appears to be up.
02/02/04 Program picks up an extra mechanical trade
09/02/04 Program picks up an extra mechanical trade
11/02/04 Diallist has entry on 2nd bar after change in MA 8 slope whereas mechanically, the program only enters on the first bar after change
20/02/04 Secondary trade, Diallist had full points
25/02/04 Secondary trade, Diallist had full points
01/03/04 Secondary trade, Diallist had full points. Also had an fib377 exit for a fib233 exit
09/03/04 Diallist had a trade but 4hr momentum by my calculation appears to be below 50Ignored

Quoting diallistDislikedUm, I'm curious as to why you think 8/55 crosses are an important part of the system. I've seen nothing in the original document that indicates crosses are used at all, much less being important. I think that is main beauty of the system is the lack of ma crosses.Ignored
Quoting diallistDislikedYou lost me here. Why are you dividing by three?
DialIgnored
Quoting keris2112DislikedI think Volan is referring to the position sizing aspect of the 8/55 cross. When the 8 crosses the 55 and turns, take a full position. When the 8 turns without having crossed the 55, take 1/2 position.Ignored
Quoting keris2112DislikedI was wondering the same thing, although the Vegas doc does suggest choosing a unit size and then trading 3 units (or 1 1/2). I think this is the wrong way of describing it, as it implies that you determine your position size and them multiply it by 3, thus, on each trade, risking 3 times what your money management method tells you to do. That's probably not what they meant, but that's kind of how it sounds.
I think we should do just the opposite. Determine our position size, based on whatever money management method we use, and then divide by 3 to determine how much to take off at each fib level. With trading platforms offering micro lots now (or any-size lots at oanda), this is easy to do. We don't have to trade in 3-lot (or mini lot) multiples.Ignored
