El porcentaje de victorias es menor de lo normal, con 3 pequeñas derrotas y un B/E, con 4 buenas victorias, en definitiva, un día decente. Ahora es el momento de desayunar y luego ir a buscar agua helada, ¡vaya 63 °F! Vinimos aquí porque queríamos alejarnos un poco del clima cálido. Las temperaturas aquí en esta época del año son máximas de entre 70 y 75 °F y de entre 65 y 69 °F. Creemos que podríamos buscar algunas casas aquí para pasar de junio a septiembre para escapar de los días de temperaturas de entre 90 y 100 °F. Hay algunas habitaciones...

Hi Rockypoint and all,
Long time lurker. Pardon the username, its meant to be funny, just call me pip.
I've read the majority of the thread and working on reading the rest. I've got pages to read between when rocky's Mexican students created the renko/heiken-ashi charts and when Rickm introduced the cumulative delta tool to rocky. I have that middle part to read, probably will do so by tonight. What a read! It's like watching a movie with all sorts of very interesting characters featured.
I have today traded the strategy using 2pip renko boxes at the us equity open, which was not a great idea, as it made for an absolutely rapid chart. I had a +5r win shorting the nasdaq way before the open and another +2r win shorting the nasdaq after the open. I had 2 losses after the open totalling -1.5r (full -1 and a -0.5 where I stopped myself out as price decided to point towards my stop. I also had 2 break even trades after the open where I manually moved my stop on the chart, which was actually quicker than going into ctrader's advanced protection settings.
Anyways I thought I would give it a go finally just to have a feel of what psychology would be like during live time. And I can conclude that this type of trading is right down my street. But I need to be sensible about it as I got lucky today. I held back over trading as soon as I realised that the 2pip renko's were way too fast. Although watching the market for about an hour before the open, 2pip renko looked very good to me, hence the first trade taken before the open. But I definitely need to change brick size for during and after the open.
Anyways I thought I would share and contribute as I have been enjoying this thread very much. Thanks rocky and all. I will absolutely cherry pick and attach my best win
Results for today:
Wins +5r nas short / +2r nas short / nas short break even / nas short break even
Losses -1r dow short / -0.5r dow short
Net +
Cheers again Rocky (I hope you manage to fix your computer issue sooner rather than later, but its good to see that you are quick to adopt to the tools available to you)
oh yes I forgot to mention - the first trade had a 5r take profit as well as a stop loss that automatically moved to break even - after this I didnt set TP's, only very tight stops (not a good idea), and manually moving stops to break even (an idea that I absolutely love)

Forgot I am done for the day.
Time for more coffee and a shrimp omelet. Shrimp here is super cheap, jumbo shrimp are about $15/KG, medium about $8/KG. Fish is super cheap too. Flounder 8/kg, Grouper I can usually get for free from friends who fish.
