Bob, the calculation of Al's TMA Fastline and TMA true are different and will never match.... There is an explanation somewhere on FF why and how - I will try and locate it tomorrow...

Same as Al, I never could get TMA true to work for me and also use FastLine TMA if & when I apply it.....

If you either post or PM me the mq4 of the "true" indicator you are presently using, I make the necessary changes for you ...

Al, any chance we could entice you to start your own thread here - as far as I can tell many of your followers from FF have migrated here in the meantime... And I for one have always enjoyed reading your posts...

Would really appreciate it (as I have some questions and dont want to mess with Bob's thread...)

Cheers / Mop

Mob, for now I want to remain with Bob and help where I can. Running my own thread is too time consuming and I simply don´t have the time right now. I will be glad to answer your questions if you PM me when I have time.

Hi Alorente thanks for popping in. I am a huge fan of your system On FF even though I have been a silent lurker there, and I believe it compliments Bob's system hugely.

Thanks Wave,

I agree with you on the compatibility of Bob´s system and Extreme TMA. That´s why I´m here...

Well Guys I see now how much I have missed out in this thread in the last week. I can only see better things developing from here onwards.

I am looking forward to all of this :clap:

After looking at 4 different TMAs Als is the one I chose to test. Mainly because I trust him and his experience. I still dont have a handle on his 4 TMA thing yet but at some point I will get there. I am very much a one thing at a time person so first up was making a TMA work on the 4H that seemed also to work within my system or better me. So that is where I will start. Basically I see this thing getting me into better position trade wise. Before if I miss a spot I would just reenter a 2nd level and get it there. TMA should decrease that part of my trading. ANYWAY fast AL here we come.

I would prefer you guys to keep up the TMA thing here so we all can learn. Frankly I would like to see more input from others and I take more of a back seat. I understand what AL is saying. Keeping up with a thread year after year can be draining.

I have always said my systems can be combined with what you already use and know so .......... we see how it goes.

I agree. We should follow Bob´s direction only. I will stay on message myself to not confuse things.
Yes but please give your thoughts and experience with TMA. I have an account I plan on just using the daily TMA with STO 7. That looks like dynamite.
Hi Bob,

You mean using the daily charts?
Well I am going to trade a separate account using the daily but stay with the 4H here in my main account. I want to see what it would be like to look at charts once a day, place any trades and leave them run. I wonder if I can discipline my self to leave them alone. I dont know how guys can watch a trade go 70 pips tothe good and back up to 20 then go to 100 and then back to 50 and then go to 150 and back up to 75 and so one. Dang I cant stand to watch a winning trade go back smaller again but thats what those high end chart traders do. Then it goes to 600 and backs up to 400 and then ............... sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh :shock:

a quick copy / past / change-variable-names for my FastTMA mod to show distances as requested by you - I am sure Tommaso will provide a more polished version later on - grin...

Set the parameters to your your test parameters provided by you in an earlier post....

I tried to add a boolean in order to omit the center line value but it is not working properly yet.... If you select "do not show center line", it will still show 0 pips...

Pls test w/r values are correct - i just eyeballed them....

Thanks do you know what TrendThreshold is in the code suppose to do?? It is set at 0.4

AS you can see this does not set up the same as TMA true with the same settings as ALs or TMA true I have. The lines are different.
Hi Bob,

Isn't the difference between these 2 tmas - one smooths and one keeps the end of bar points - a bit like the css ignoreFuture=True/False ?

They both give exactly the same current (RHS) reading. I watched a few different tmas (with the same settings) on a 1min chart on Friday - and this was what I found. The same current readings in realtime, but historically the smoother (I hate to use the word "repaint" for fear of the wrath of bob!) ones change as more data appears.

So I found for a realtime/current read they are all the same, but for a look at a historical chart the rougher/jaggier ones were more accurate as to what value you would have seen in the past.

Just my twopenneth!
Cheers
