Yip, it looks so easy.

My simple-minded thinking was to trade with the intraday trend (for example, an MA (8-9 period) on M30/H1, if you want to formalise it). As simple as that, and to enter when the shorter-term swings turn (in this case) down.

Nice trading guys.

Ian - I wasn't far behind you there, got chopped after FO, missed that LH after the chop mid Frankie hour but managed to get part of the drop from 3750.
Managed to end up + but didn't hit my daily target.

With RBs I'm comfortable to enter on candle close only, and that would be the rule based approach. Which isn't to say that I don't break that rule every once in while...

Do the range bars from MQL only work live or they give you historical data too?

When you open the RB chart, the "historical" part of the chart is constructed from M1 data, and thus different from what it would be live. Still quite useful for visual back-testing.

But soon after chart open (after first H or L) the RBs will look as they should.

Hammers and shooting stars using the RBs combined with LHs etc and normal analysis provide some pretty tidy clues

Do you have an MQ4 version of the indicator for range bars ?
