This is a limitation in the Renko technology, the price level stays always the same as long as your computer is turned on, thats why CRBs are a better alternativ to Renko, because they build their blocks according to the real market movements and price levels.

OK, so when is someone going to take the time to actually test this theory out and proof it up?

Can use renko or a glorified candlestick. No trades taken by CRB's to merit making the statement. Am all for providing the best possible tools to the thread, but this is opinion, and as of this time is unsubstantiated.

Good to have a set answer on that topic from Edge, since it can lead to protracted discussions about "repainting", "inconsistent data feeds and signals", different bar types etc that seem to be all too popular in trading threads...

One less thing to worry about when I graduate to Nitro (and for those already trading it of course)

Good point. I am off line all night, every night. Boot up in the morning, reapply the script and trade what is in front of me. Seems to be much ado over nothing.

Well, my 8 trade winning streak finally came to an end (C4). I took a long on EUR/JPY this morning right before it tanked! I THINK it was the 13:20 candle. I'm at work so I haven't had time to go back and review the trade to see if I made a mistake or if it was just one of those "that's trading" things.

I am one of the guys trading C4 live but I want to disclose that I am trading 10 cent pips. Trading live with 10 cent pips is how I demo. I just don't make the same decisions trading on a demo that I do live, even if it is only 10 cent pips (I get just as serious trading 10 cent pips as I do trading full lots!).

Anyway, good luck to all and thanks to Edge for not only sharing his thoughts and ideas, but also for keeping such a clean thread. Sure is nice to read a thread and not have to pick through 40 posts of trash to get to the useful posts.

Good luck everyone.....

Dear Edge,

just made my first C4 entry right now.

have been trading all morning but when the signals came i was already in (just for the record 4 wins 1 loss total +37 pips, yesterday 9wins 0 losses 52 pips)

i usually go to the next resistance level other than the +5 pips target. do you think this is wrong? do you want me to stick to the 5 pips so that my input is more valuable to the thead?

i have been sticking to the AU although i have all 4 charts open as you recommend.

i will just take the trades when i believe them myself and not follow the signals blindly. is this ok with you?

good pipping for all!
dreams do come true.

Well then perhaps you would care to explain the following from another one of your earlier postings.

I think, risk-reward ratio is the weak point of C4/Nitro as described in another thread. You can tell me whatever you want but I cannot quit logical thinking. And this thinking tells me that if the ratio is 4:1 or even 6:1 then it cannot be sustainable.
[u][i][color=blue]By this kind of trading all of us become just a fresh fish for the brokers. What could be better for a broker than to have a big number of clients...
Edge, you are quoting my post from another thread that was opened by me especially for discussing how to use the same setup (Trix + MA) in different ways. And to my mind, this quoted post of mine is just an example of different attitude.
How could anybody think that I want to tell EVERYONE what to do? I think I would go to the politics if I would like to manipulate people not sitting behind my PC discussing some commercial ideas in an anonymous thread.
Freedom of thinking and speech is a human right, at least as much as I know. I did not post the quoted message in your thread, so I am a bit surprised that we are now discussing it here.

As the scripts search for Account Balance (uses AccountBalance()), it uses the current account balance. Feel free to change this parameter for your own use to whatever you need. I just posted a script I found elsewhere written by a coder that I trust.

Best wishes

Dear thecatpreach, thanks a lot for your message and scripts.
You indiacted that the scripts will open possitions as perset from equity.
I opened three possitions a once and were opened 3 positions with the same lot. Quesion is - are you sure that the script work from equity but not balance?

if it weren't for the C4 i would be selling AU by now. but i will wait patiently for the C4 signal to confirm my thought. hope to bag another 10 pips on that short.

happy pipping to all.

The +5 level is geared to showing one how to 'scalp' with the methodology and get out of harms way. Set your charge, blow it up and leave the area.

If you choose to stick around when the enemy is quite irritated at you blowing up and derailing the train, when they (market) do catch you (and they will) you are not going to be held in high regard.

That said, the basic philosophy is set forth is to train one to be proficient. Anything other than that is at your own risk. Set the charge, blow it up, retreat. Repeat 1000 times. Over and over and over and over until it is a relex action.

Regards.

Less than 1 month into the thread. It is not yet about the money. Agree that trading ANY level of real funds increases concentration level, however, those who 'demo' are good to go also.

Take the setups over and over and over again. As many as time allows. This is not an overnight aquisition process.

Well, I was looking forward to posting my C4 charts today but it's really a bloody mess.

Lack of discipline on my part. Too early or to late on the entries.

KP for me tonight.

Hi, yes the compiled renko version is the same that all are using here...it's ok enough...

And...not always i wait for the close of the brick...but this sometimes takes me in bad trades....so...let the PA develop a bit... (i'm saying this to you...and i'm saying this to me :-)

Please wait until I am off the train and exit the station before you blow up the train
If you only trade long, then you can't always be wrong.

Waited patiently for the AU red arrow to come up. sold. +5 pip target. SL above next resitance (.8414 - 12 pip loss maximum).

if it weren't for you, Boss, would have entered before. but we are here to test the explosive, right?

hope you all are enjoying this as i am
