For some reason, I cannot get the LJ Synergy ID and the LJ Sig indicators to work in my MT4 platform. Anyone else have this problem who may be able to help me?

Here you go, but please use caution, think it's fish based so may repaint sometimes. Forward demo test it a while before using elsewhere...

Hello to all,

Not to take away anything from the present contributors to this thread but.....where is Lou? This thread started with no indicators except SnR/pivots lines and atm is full of bells and whistles... can someone using the present approach tell me if it has resulted in developing a more succesful approach?

Good luck to all.

Hey Nagpada,

I aprreciate your efforts. I'm a MQL4 developer and would love to help you on this. Feel free to let me know what your priority is. I can spend few hours everyday. Rest of the time, I have to code for my living

Cheers

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone else has to constantly reset their renko chart every time a couple new blocks form. The renko blocks will move to the left but HA candles and psar not moving with them? Any ideas?

Hi,
The same happened to me.
It occurs when you use the same version of Renko for 2 currencies and it gets overwhelmed.
Try to use version 3.2 on one 1min chart.
And version 3.1 (or 1.6 or 2.1 ) on another 1min chart.
It should solve the prob.
Cheers

I have two currency pairs running with no problems on my 3.2gHz Dell. Both use RLC_v3.2 - I've checked cpu usage and nothing is out of line.

Not to be annoying here but could an incorrectly coded indicator be the cause? It's hard to pin these things down when the source code is not available. I've seen more than one indicator coded in such a way that all available history is read for each new tick - this will eat your lunch, especially at news times.

Another consideration might be internet connection speed. I use dsl from att&t and am fortunate to be located 1/2 mile from the nearest node so I have fiber optic up to that point and copper the rest of the way - average speed 600 kBs.


Just a thought...

I find that there is nothing inherentyl wrong with the RLC indicator. One laptop that I have it installed on is a 7 year old machine. Have 12 charts open inclusive of 1M charts and have no problems with the Renko charts or their updating. It's just a bit slow but updates by the pip fine. Looks like that your problem originates somewhere else. My renko charts range from 5 to 30 block size.

I've been busy lately at the Renko Block Charts thread - some are still having trouble getting RLC up and running and there are always questions from those who don't understand the Renko concept yet and want to know if they can set up a 4 hour chart.

Anyway, the attached chart will show what I've been up to lately. With some reluctance, I've stepped away from pivots to try using traditional support/resistance. I like working with it, have created an automated drawing tool (not an indicator per se - just a simple tool to save some time), and I've identified three possible entry patterns which may have some promise.

Those of you who are experienced may think my S/R tool is pretty rudimentary (or even wrong) - go ahead, laugh all you want - it has its flaws and is still in development but it gets the basic job done. As always, I'm open to suggestions to improve it.

The three entry patterns I've come to like are called:

1. Inside Bounce
2. Outside Break
3. Retracement

You can see examples of each on the attached chart. I haven't marked them (yet) because I think you are all sharp enough to find them

I'm also still trading the Midnight Special - I mentioned this earlier in the thread in relation to pivots but it actually works just as well with S/R:

At midnight GMT (6 pm here near Chicago) I either:

1. enter a trade (30 pips stop loss, 30 take profit) in the appropriate direction based on what the chart is doing

or

2. if PA is too close to S/R to allow the take profit, I check back periodically to see if there's a better signal

or

3. I toss it in and go to sleep

I've been hitting these trades at a 60-70% rate for a while now. Not a get-rich-quick approach but I have been in the black since the beginning and it takes only a minute or so to set up.

See the attachment. You could have traded this in either direction successfully.

The Renko bar that opened shortly after midnight GMT (up arrow) was a continuation of an up move that eventually turned out to be a retracement. Still, 30 pips (26 net) was there for the taking.

Those more cautious could have entered short at the down arrow. After a period of congestion or consolidation, whatever you want to call it, 30 pips was also available there.

Could you also review which if any other pair/crosses that you like to trade now Lou?

I tried combining your one indi setup with my three psar setup.
The other indis are there just to see if I'm trading with or against the other time frame candles & trends.
If there is any interest in the template for forward demo test I may post it later back on the RTFG renko thread.

It's all I can do to just trade GU - really, I'm not kidding.

If you'll take the time to analyze my Renko chart for the entire day of 11/11 you will see the possibility of quite a few pips using the three entry setups I teased you with (plus the Midnight Special, which is a good way for noobs to start exercising the old brain cells and recognize what Renko is telling them).

Did I get every pip? Not on your life - I don't have the patience to sit at the computer for that amount of time. I do keep an eye on GU from about an hour before the New York open until noon and then again from the Asian open until bedtime. There are enough opportunities within those restrictions for me.

Nothing wrong with that Lou, at least you don't burn yourself out.
Here's a demo trade I just made placing a sell stop below your red support line & made a quick 9 demo pips while I was playing games through facebook.
