How do I determine what size range bar is comparable to a daily bar? 6 replies

Range Bar Basket System

do you set minimum size for a candle to be a valid RB?

Because if you don't, I think that the candles shown with blue arrows have closed higher than the previous range, so they must be considered
the new RB, and the lower yellow line is the buy level, at first bounce.

But I see that you ignored the yellow line, waited for a new RB that formed the long red candle.

Hi as002:
Good question and the answer is Yes. I have a minimum size for a candle to be a valid RB. Hoewer its not a fixe size 50 or 100 pips, no. Its depend of my focal interpretation of price action. When we are talking about a chart based at Basket trading we must think that daily range is high cause is a several crosess average range. Price action is not equal than a single crosses. 1h bar of 100 pips is so small if you think that 1h average range is double or triple.
In the chart example this bar is so smal and i see too that break of previous RB is not strong. The 21 EMA and Clouds is to far and is probable thats price retrace to EMA. No ever, but in most trades you can see that RB support is near 21 EMA and Clouds and price retrace and touch these supports. When you take a trade at confluencial of Low of RB, 21 EMA and Clouds its and idoneal settup. You are Buying at lows near support and selling at highs near resistence. EMA is the first support and Clouds its final support. If Clouds are Break another trend coulb be starting.
I hope help you. Apologize my english please.
All the best.
Regards.

Hi all:

Today i was good look. I dont take a Buy trade cause im wasnt infront computer at Assian Session. I was sleeping at this time.
If i was take this trade i was loos -78 pips x 2 = 156 pips. But if a was take this trade i waited to retrace of next bar and closed position at BE.
But. When you must wait to retrace?. Its depend of you MM. If bar was broken the range is so large and closed with strong +150 pips you must think that could be no retrace and next bar could be adding more loss. If price go against me 50 or 100 pips i assume more risk and i wait for retrace. If price go against me 150 or more i dont wait cause loss coulde be more. But if you assume more risk you can wait.
Im playing with small stop loss but you can play with bigger stop loss if you want. You can use ATR. Other Ichimoku side or whatever you use.
The problem of small stop is that hits often and however minimize loss.
My first target is preserve my capital.
Im trading with real money and its diferent to trade at demo. When you are risking real money first target is to preserve your capital and no make bigger amount of money.
Well now i looking for long at low new Range Bar.
All the best.
Regards.

Thanks for the continuing updates, it helps to understand what you are doing.

Couple of Q's if I may....

1. How long have yo been trading this and what are the overall results?
2. You show the Cci ... do you use that as part of your signal?
3. Do you always trade the 14 pair basket and do you have results for the smaller baskets?

Thanks,
M.

PS. Nice positions, makes the small -ve's worthwhile!

Hi futurespec:
thanks for question.
1. Im trading with real money for 15 months and demo for time long. But i dont only trade this system. Problem of basket trading is difficult to back test result.
2. CCI and others indicator are only a visual help to see how strong is trend. It isnt important but help me. Ichimoku is important for me cause it determine the trend direction but sometimes fall too.
3. I trade 14 pairs but you can probe at Core5 or another system and say me what do you think.

I attach 2 charts. First is Basket chart and second is EURJPY chart. You can see the how similar are both. Likely it works in Core5 or others cause really you are trading with price action.

I hope answer you.
Regards.

Price is in a mini-range between EMA and previuos RB Low. If a candle close above EMA its possible that price will go UP again. If a candle closed below previous RB Low its a good signal.

Thanks for the ongoing updates.
Takes a brave man to show his trades.
Been good so far but is that just a happy coincidence?
At this rate you will be able to buy us all a Christmas present :-)
(or perhaps that is your system).

In theory i think this could be a good trade. If you see the chart attached of EURJPY we are buying at triangle breakout at retest it.
I see too 1 hour 10EMA above 4 hours 10EMA and its a good signal.
But nobody knows.

Well. Actual candle will go close at loss -100x2=-200 pips.
You can do two things:
1. Assume loss
2. Wait for a retrace and close at BE assuming aditional risk.

At this case i will asume aditional risk and no close Buy position. I think could be a retrace and i wait for close at BE.
I will continue thinking that we are in an UP trend.

Update situation:
If you see 4H chart for me trend is UP and price is retesting 21EMA.
If yo see 1h chart EURJPY i hope price retest Day Low and go UP again.
