DislikedHere is one more big picture look at the yuppie. Price never changes direction on a whim. There are always reasons for reversals. In order for buyers to overwhelm sellers or sellers to overwhelm buyers, they must congregate. Renko accentuates these areas. Hope this helps provide food for thought as to why price moves the way it does. If you understand this, then you understand price action.Ignored
DislikedHi Chris,
This is what I am trying. I attach a chart (not MT4) that shows HA candles 'inside' Renko. The thick black lines show where the Renko bricks would be. They are calculated using the Renko 'rules' for 10 pip bricks.
Maybe someone could code this for MT4 - I find it very interesting.
I like your comment on indicators for Renko. I came to the same conclusion some time ago - no one listenedIgnored
DislikedKristjan,
The HMA may or may not have filtered some of the losers. But price action DEFINITELY would have filtered some of the losers. Let me know if you have any questions. (EDIT: DB = double bottom, LL = lower low, LH = lower high, HL = higher low, HH = higher high)
(SECOND EDIT: noticed a label didn't stay on the chart, added the corrected chart)Ignored
DislikedMmmhh...I don't know
I guess if you enter on the breakout you're at the beginning of the trend and have less oportunities of missing it...
...but if you wait for a retrace you are more certain of the trend since its more established?
I'm shure there's much more about it i'm missing!!Ignored
DislikedYou got most of them. Entering on the breakout ensures not missing the potential big move. What is the con? Waiting for a retrace and turning resistance into support ensures an uptrend, with the con being you may miss the move. There is however one other major pro in waiting for the retrace. Project it onto your chart and see if you can figure it out. (Hint: once you figured out it is an uptrend, what do uptrends do?)Ignored
DislikedHi, for those who trade specifically at the open of the Tokyo, London/Frankfurt, and New York markets. It isn't gauranteed that a tradeable move will happen at these times, so how long do you watch the charts until you go away and wait for the next open. For example, when trading the New York open (9:30am EST) do you watch charts from 0930-1000, or 0915-0945 etc? I've been looking for trading oppertunities for 30mins after the open, but I'm just wondering what other people are doing?
Regards,
MatthewIgnored
DislikedOK
Entering on the breakout has the potencial risk of a retrace and being stopped out (happened to me a minute ago)
The pro of waiting for a retrace is probably riding the trend with more certainty (since I want to scalp only 5 pips I prefer to be +shure)?
But what happens if there's no retracement? You just happily miss a long ride?Ignored
Dislikedstudbiol,
would you mind posting your most recent chart without any indicators, and with all the bricks a single color, whether it be green, red, white, etc., so that up bricks are the same color as down bricks. In other words, make the chart as simple as possible.Ignored
DislikedWaiting for a retrace gives you a new higher high to use as a target after the you see resistance become support. Remember uptrends make higher highs, downtrends make lower lows. If you know you're in an uptrend, why set your target for anything less than the previous higher high?Ignored
DislikedResistance level touched for the 3rd time... price is long in all other pairs and momentum is high...
...if PA goes beyond the resistance line it's buying time
....or
momentum may go down and become a triple top, PA then falls below the support line and it's selling time!!
Am I ok?Ignored
DislikedSo finally momentum went down, created a triple top and after a retacement there were some pips to be made!
IT'S A FREAKING PATIENCE GAMEIgnored
DislikedWith all due respect, that first trade was against a major uptrend, meaning the probabilities were not in your favor. Unless you were certain there was major resistance on the other side of that highest block, or unless the other pairs were making major moves to the downside, that was a less than 50/50 trade. The fact price hit your target is more luck than anything--not that luck is bad, you just can't rely upon it when determining probabilities. You said your trade criteria was met. I would add one more rule to that criteria, probably the most...Ignored
