Range and Renko Trading

what do you see as a pain concerning sierra charts? been using them for 5 yrs 0 issues

That's good for you..That doesn't read well.... .

We all have to use what works for us and what we are comfortable with.... Platform hopping can be as bad as system hopping...lol

The pain I see is learning a new platform. I have been using MotiveWave for about the same amount of time and am happy with it.
Thank you for dropping by. You are a good trader and I have picked up a thing or two from you.

A trade this morning.
Missed the second one because I was typing here.... Not a problem though as there are many setups to take advantage of.

Here are the other trades that were available this morning.

Hello again i downloaded the platform now and did a coupple of trades but i dont understand anyting abaut how to do tings i only got it to open trades and flatten them and it wasnt even one click i needed to confirm everymove and hate that and i somehow closed down charts and cant figure out how to get them up again....Any advice..LOL..I am sure this is a greate platform but for me trading on mt4 for 5 years this is totally someting else...alot easier to see priceaction on theese charts do to mt4 and CFD`S 30 minutes trading 2300 dollars...deemo of course

There is a little learning curve as with any platform but once you get it all is good.
As for getting your chart back unless you backed up your workspace ... you will have to go to configure, and at the bottom of the dropdown you will see layout. choose the one you want and open it. You will have to do some resetting of the workspace to your liking but once you have that back it up whenever you make a change and you'll be golden.
If you have Skype PM me your Skype id and I can walk you through some things that might help.

couldn't respond to your pm you don't have it set up to receive and no problem to your statement

ok... got the PM thing changed.

Hi, thanks so much for helping with the studies, but no matter how much time I spend on this, I can't get the candles to have the same data points as yours. It's also affecting the moving average cross. I've compared the candles with data on Sierra Charts and ThinkorSwim, and all seem to be the same as my picture below, so I'm really stumped as to why your candles are so different. Any thoughts? It's enough of a difference to seriously affect trading results. Both charts below are from Dec 26 2018, around 8:07 am. One is mine and the other is what tradestar1 posted.

Trying the HRenko bars produced a result closer to your data points on each candle, but obviously it's not what you are using and doesn't affect the moving averages the same way......so very stumped! Would be very grateful for any help in figuring this out!

That is really odd..... I don't know what to think about that...
I use IB as a broker but that shouldn't make any difference.
Who is your broker?

Here is a current chart.

Here are the bar settings ... see if yours match ..

Trend4money...
I have sent the screen shots of our chart differences to motive wave support ...
See if they hav e an answer for this.

Thank you....for getting back to me and sending the screenshots to Motivewave as well. I did change the settings under Tick Charts to match yours, but there was no difference in the candle data points. Attached are 3 charts using my data from this morning, trying to match your chart. All are using 10 range bars. None of them match yours, although the basic structure is there. Very confusing. ThinkorSwim, of course, has it's own data. For Sierra Charts and Motivewave I'm using CQG with Amp Futures, a live account. I never have problems with fills or data lagging, so I trust that the CGQ data is accurate. I'm wondering if it's a configuration issue, maybe there's another setting you have for the range bars? In Sierra charts there's a few options, such as Standard Range, Open=Close, True Range, but none seemed to match your's either-I spent a lot of time on this before posting, I'd really like to get it to work right and trust that it's accurate.

Those charts appear to be a bit closer...
I also use trend bars instead of hollow candles...
Might take a look at that.

Compared the top 2 charts... Pretty close.

Yes, those two charts match very closely, as does the sierra charts, but those are all my data.....looking at yours, there are a lot of differences. That's what's worrying me. If I can't produce the same candle points, then why would the system work? I'll need to learn how to run the strategy backtester and see what happens.

I thought that top chart was mine....
Well I got an email fired off to Joe. He will be getting back to me probably next week.
Definitely need to get to the bottom of this.

Thanks. I really like the strategy. Just want to get it to work right. I haven't started demo trading it yet, because I can't get the bars working right, but you've got a system that's got a lot of potential, even if I need to tweak it some for my data feed.
