Hello DChappy,

My trading platform doesn't support Renko bars, which setup would you use with standard candlesticks?

Something like 5 min., 30 SMA?

Cheers

Hi Francisco , good to see you again .....

1-2-3's are on every time frame ...but 5 min is about the same as 5 renko ..

and some days 5 min gives better entries .....

Good luck to you....

OK .....

This is probably my last post for a while ...I was right , it really did help get my trading back on track ..

Hopefully you can add this little method to your own tool kit and make some more pips ..

It is so simple ,that I think it gets overlooked by more complex methods ..

Please feel free to continue the thread ,if there is interest ...and PM me at any time ...


Trade Well...........................Chappy :smt023

Was good to see you back again. You always manager to produce charts that emphasise the zig and the zag.
Is price closing higher or lower than something? Simple yet powerful question. ..MO

TRO, thank you! I was going to go look for a 123 indicator and hadnt got around to it yet.

Thanks dchappy for the thread. By the way, stick a Heikin Ashi on your renko chart, and turn the chart to line. Very interesting.

Some observations.

M candles rather help to give a perspective of actual timeImage


Line charts seem just as useful as the bars, perhaps more so for 1-2-3 purposes
Image


Higher time frame feeder produces similar results and allows one to look back further for SR levels. Whereas the one minute feeder may not allow one to go back more than a few days,
