Well guys

the "candle" in the info panel is the remaining candle time, obviously not working on a renko chart as it is NOT time based.
The CCI (why nobody is reading a thread from a to z?) is a request from 45FXguy who wanted this.
It's the value of CCI 14 plus CCI50 divided by 2 from the 1 minute chart.
To see the power of direction... I think!

The DXTrade C4 is a try to give a signal after the C4 rules... see page 1 !
gives an alert when price crosses the LWMA 8 and the trix crosses.

Hope that helps
I'd add that it's numbers can be used like tick chart scalping, so a low fixed spreads required for proper use, but you can also see if there is a quick reversal right before you enter a trade, if CCI dropping below 100 against the direction of you trade, then you might want to hold off a few seconds for the temp retrace and continue the trade when it starts climbing above fast towards 100 or more. If it tops out at 200-300 another retrace is probably right around the corner.
I didn't have time to proof it up yet for Edge in this thread was busy job hunting for myself and wife, and summer activity stuff for the kids. But that's the basic idea trick I learned from the ToR 1.2 indi, but this one takes a lot less space and provides more info to boot. Thanks again DXtrade..........

Just to have this correctly.... 2 previous bars in the direction of the trade ?? Do they have to be on the right side of trix zero-line ?
I mean should both be red and decreasing or is it ok if the previous one was green and actual went below 0 ??


Ich hoffe man versteht es so ungefähr
In checking the GU and EU charts, it seems it does not make a lot of difference if the prev2 renko bricks are the same trix color. However, above SM said he is not talking about the bricks .. so I am confused again.
On the GU chart for instance, going back a couple of days I see that everytime an arrow appears beside the renko brick, if the 2 previous bricks were confirming the arrow direction, most of the time the trade was good .. I would say 80% of the time.
I am not even looking at the arrows on top (or bottom) of the bricks as I don't understand how those figure into it.
However using the 2 brick confirmation of an up arrow, looks like 4 out of 5 trades will be good.
Will need to experiment with it in real time this week.

Trader222,
What is the indicator that shows your trades? Is that an MT4 indicator? Did I miss it on the forum? Are you able to supply the indicator?
Thanks,

I believe swingman was refrring to the TRIX histogram. Load a TRIX with a setting of 3,1,1,1 as he said. When that triangle appears, check the TRIX below, and if there are at least TWO before that are up/down in the same direction, that trade has 100% success on EUR/USD

What is your Stop Loss ? It looks to me like you´re using 30 SL for 5 pips target. Is this true ?
Yup, but just as an emergency SL if my Internet passes out... frequent here on the little island
Trades need room to breath... I don't care about RR management... I trust my eyes and my finger...


And Irathi, yes, it was a countertrend trade and honestly... I was lucky...

Seems to me that one of the best things trading RENKO is not having to make a decision as to what time frame to use.

BTW I looked up OM mani padme hum and it means 'less is more' in Tibetian.******just kidding!!

"The mantra Om Mani Pädme Hum is easy to say yet quite powerful,
because it contains the essence of the entire teaching. When you say
the first syllable Om it is blessed to help you achieve perfection in the
practice of generosity, Ma helps perfect the practice of pure ethics,
and Ni helps achieve perfection in the practice of tolerance and
patience. Päd, the fourth syllable, helps to achieve perfection of perseverance, Me helps achieve perfection in the practice of concentration, and the final sixth syllable Hum helps achieve perfection in the practice of wisdom.

Me neither,

Primer - close of renko chart either above or below ma

Detomator - change of ma colour in right direction.

But as the C4 method has taught us and what we have been learning is....you have to be quick on the tirgger or you can loose it.

Cheers
