you must change the description to %$

Thanks I see, so you can set the price in your target: I still prefer to see the 0%, 25%, 50% etc.
Let it turn and find your entry.

Check out post 6636 when I explain the settings...You have just about got it correct except for the Description in there you want to put %$ and this will put the prices on the Quartiles for you.

Thanks for your Renko explanations folks, I am getting my head around your setups though they do appear to be very complicated.

If you guys think you are slow then you should try using my head, it runs backwards most of the time.:nerd:

I don't trade for pips, I trade for percentages of my account typically a 5% risk.

It doesn't matter how wide or narrow the Quartile gets the space between is always 5% so a tiny one pays me big time in a hurry.

I am not looking at the tops and bottoms of the price swings as these are not really support and resistance but the tops and bottoms of the EMA are. Any EMA will do even a 1000 period but this may take a long time between trades although the pip count is higher the reward is far less.

Now as my 26 period EMA is striving to reach a previous support or resistance the actual price will have to make a significant effort, far greater than the average. This is why we always see a good movement in price because it has to work hard to pull the EMA behind it to break the previous support/resistance average. The market does this all day long, every day.

You only need to look at any chart to see the evidence of this action. It is the success or failure to achieve this that denotes the strength or weakness of the batting side.

Now if I am see weakness by the price not making the level and also pulling back 25% then this is the Quartile entry point and I expect it to run at least 2 more Quartiles 5% each

If I am seeing strength I need to wait until the market produces something like a divergence, the again I employ the Quartile and this type of trade may run all day long making 5% at each Quartile level. Thus a trend of just 50 pips can easily produce a 100% increase in the account because there will be many entries compounding the original one. Many times I have run out of money and have to cash in a trade or two to continue. All the time the stop is moving in relation to the action and I generally lock in 10% with the stop.

I have no idea what people mean when they say they got 5 pips, is that 50 cents, 50%, $50 etc. Pips are the increments the chart uses our winnings or losings should be expressed as a % of the account.

There I go rambling on again but I hope this explains a little more to those who have asked questions.

no we definitely don't want go in a different direction we were just trying to figure out if this quartile thing could compliment our current trading style ...I was looking at it as a mathematical money management style more than a trading style .

Please don't get us wrong, just trying to see an approach to target setting and money management, like me I bail out too early and end up sometimes with bigger losses than the winners and then fight to make it back, if I could just get a fix on setting my target and sticking with it.

Like you said Nala should ideally start a thread and all the Quartile enthusiasts can contribute/explore there.

Now about your new signature

Dee, don't get mad or bothered. This is a contribution that can be added to our renko style of trading. New ideas always arise in order to better things.
Is not that the thread is running in a different direction. But yes it can make sense to have separate thread for order purposes. So please do not step out here as you are our mentor in this thread, and we need you big time.

Have a great weekend

It can be true for someone who's got his head in his butt... But not for the one who spends just a bit of time to understand what's going on.
