Nice to hear that it works now as it should.

If somebody is done with trading for today and likes my Renko's I invite to post a review on my site. Feedback from real users is priceless for other people.

Regards, Michal
Hi Michal, where is your site please?

It is ready. The old functionality is present as long the anchor input is less than zero.
This is what confused me - the "less than zero part". I'm not entering anything in the variable and all prices now end in zero, which is fine with me - people like round numbers

Could you briefly explain what the "anchor price" option does and what I need to enter in that variable? No instructions came with indicator.

Thank you.
You don't need to put anything in the variable unless you want disable the function. In this case put some negative number there.

Thank you, Mr. Rupka - that was not immediately obvious to me (I am not the brightest bulb on the marquee) but now I understand.

I put Renko and the C4 basic concept to a head to head competition. Since London open I manually trade signals given by both. The screenshot is with the C4 + Sm Candles 3.1 only entries (no other indis). On the other hand I lost my shirt with Renko.. too many 20 pip stops hit and ended up in a big hole. Of course - this is my experience.. I like trading what I see and not having my head buried in the sand under Renko bricks. Others may feel different and put Renko to good use.. good luck!

-15 +1 & eight +5s
Total = +26 pips

Traded mostly on EURJPY while watching the other pairs for confirmation. Broke the rules a few times and made some trades purely on observation of PA and momentum across the four pairs. I'm starting to feel calmer and less doubtful with each new trading day.
May your life be flooded with pips!

I have decided to anchor my blocks at the xxx5 level on the basis that often the price will just touch the xx00/x20/xx50/xx80 levels before retracing. This would have the effect of completing the block anchored at the xxx0 leveland possibly solidifying the arrow only for the price to retrace. Having the block complete at, say, xx95 and the price just nudges up over the 0000 before retracing then it would possibly be enough to take the 5 pip profit. Just a thought will see how it pans out.

To define the anchor point for the yen crosses it is necessary to input 0.05 (2 decimal place pairs)into the "Anchor Price" box. For the Eur/Aud and GBP against the USD ( 4 decimal place pairs) the input is 0.0005

Ok guys...i've now finished to code the new version of the indy

I've worked hard today to make the indy standalone...so you don't need any other indy to make it work.

What it does???

It checks the Momentum (the "classical" Momentum indy that comes with MT4) and checks his acceleration.
It draws an arrow everytime Momentum and Acceleration are positive or negative. This is not a warranty for a good trade!!


How to use it???

The idea is to enter the trade at the OPEN of the brick with the arrow (not at the close) or when the arrow appears...
But you have to know that during the brick the arrow can disappear, so...if an arrow appears...make sure that PA is moving in the right way before placing a trade.

The arrow is "ONLY A TRADE POSSIBILITY", not an oracle.

The best thing we can do is try it for some day and see if it's useful or not...i don't guarantee nothing.

Thks Chris_B for the V.2 indy

I noted there is no input for the momentum as opposed to version 1. What is the default setting?

Many thks again.

Hi Chris,
I've been evaluating Momentum and developing a similar indicator in TS. (Sorry, this is not an offer to share the indicator. It is still a work in progress.). I have some observations that may help eliminate some of the noise.
1. If Acceleration is extended to 2 bars instead of the traditional one bar and then compared with Momentum, it eliminates some noise.
2. If Acceleration is greater than Momentum (for long comparisons) and is less than Momentum (for short comparisons) then you also can eliminate some noise.
3. If you correlate the SMI with Momentum you can eliminate almost all the noise (about 90%).

Close but still no cigar. Probably has something to do with that "Simplicity" thing that Edge keeps trying to hammer home. It's probably right under our noses and we can't smell it yet.
