Dustbin levels worked perfectly today on Renko chart

No doubt the novelty will disappear once a loss or two happens

Wide intraday waves without intermediate stops ...perfect for those kind of charts. What kind of box size are you using? are u using H/L values instead of last value or just the normal repaint?

i just read those posts by KEN(below)....and few more like it.

i cant help but laugh until my stomach hurts.

yes, i remember posting this trade in EUR/USD.

then our geppy replied with this.( i havent read his previous posts...so i was a bit surprised. All i was thinking about were two things (a) you, mr. geppy, are missing the point of my post (b) even if you are right, mr. geppy, do you really have to take that tone? really? seriously?)

Of course, i politely tried to correct his misinterpretation of my post. (you can see the civil, respectful tone that i took...i too could have been a jack arse in my response, but i didnt. it is called manners. a primitive courtesy.)

OF course, our geppy replied contentiously.

Naturally, i was firm and respectfully. i mean, lad, you cant tell me what my intent was. So, i replied respectfully and politely. I even apologise.

Naturally, our geppy, in a last passive aggressive display wrote this.

That was when i showed him--just because i was being polite doesnt mean i cannot be an ARSE HOLE. We all can be like that....we just choOse not to. Less drama, more fun.

that is my two cents on the geppy situation.

Yeah...we're ALL a 'lil touchy right, mate? Nothing about the way you carry yourself at all? This is definitely the most uptight thread in the Factory here.

Only time it gets uptight is when I get 30 PMs in two days about yourself. But again...that's everyone else, right?

Whatevs. You "manned up" for being a dick that one time, so thought you were going to change the approach...but I still see you getting stuck into it with people. You gotta be yourself...I'm all for that. But when its harshing everyone else's mellow, it becomes a bit...

Words came from reading this paragraph...



I read that and wonder exactly what the fak you were ever doing here posting. Same cast of characters (for the most part) have been here since day one. You offend many of my friends, and myself (which I don't mind), in the paragraph above.



The boy who cried wolf? Sometimes the lines of humour get blurred when somebody has rattled a lot of cages recently and is generally regarded as a little agro.



There's actually less than a majority of (us...cause I'm one of them) "class clowns" here....

Looks like H/L value to me if I look at the code......could be wrong..

using box size 9 to find 20 pip levels , for some reason it seems to work better than box size 10

WOW, I can't believe we're actually bringing this up again. Anyway... you've got that whole back and forth between us all wrong, my friend.

I thought that was pretty clear with this reply (the one you are saying is passive aggressive):

The fact that you put a disclaimer that insinuates that I MIGHT at all be offended by such a picture is, in fact, offensive! LOL

The joke was that I'd never be offended by a pic of a hot chick; for you to imply that it would be, in fact, insulting. It was a joke... translation: I'd be offended if you thought I was offended by that picture.

It seems you've misinterpreted all my other replies incorrectly. Our conversation, in my mind, went like this:

You made a point (that wasn't clear to me) how we both had views on two different pairs (you on EUR/USD and me on EUR/GBP) that went in opposite directions. We were both correct in our assessment. I didn't understand what you were saying and took offense. You explained. I apologized. We had some (what I thought to be) light-hearted back and forth humor that you (I'm now learning) weren't taking it the same way I was. After that, I was VERY confused with your last post telling me to "Fuck Off" etc. but let it slide, figuring you didn't mean it and I was misinterpreting the humor. I guess I wasn't and you actually meant it...

Sorry things got lost in cyber translation. I hope it's more clear now.

Let's just put it to bed.

Everybody is more than aware of it now. Final warnings have been issued, so to speak. The core-group in here is going nowhere. Newcomers are MORE than welcome, but the core is happy enough as is. If people come in and rattle cages, there is no decision to be made on WHO will be leaving....just the "when" is to be decided by the cage-rattlers.

Case closed.

Wrap it up now boys...you've both had your say. Shake hands and move on...or go to PMs.

This shite is old. We might be Useless, but none of this is our beef and we'd rather charts, fakkers, pr0n...anything but this.

Ok I see but I guess is 9 pippetes as 9 pips for 20 range will kill you on the repaint.

A few year back I saw a guy in elitetrader boards using 9 ticks instead of 10 renko charts in futures currencies too don't remember why but that was very important for his system but he was using a custom chart with 2 tick range chart with the renko 9 on top ...you may want to do a search there maybe there is something useful understanding the technicalities and the why 9?

In any case, GL but IMHO for manual trading and for my "taste" ... your posts has shown that your charts not only look a lot better when you just do your dustbin in a naked chart but they seem very efficient....if ain't broke....

....the buy green bar and sell the red one is just a trading myth that look fantastic after the fact only ...

I agree....

Renko worked very well today but there is no replacement for " left eye" "right eye" indicators to find simple 20 pip levels and trade the price patterns and price action around them.

I was a bit bored today waiting for BB and decided to try out Renko.

When I was about 6-7 years old , I use to take apart any new toy I got for birthdays/Xmas, I soon stopped doing that when I realized that all I do is stuff up the toy and no new toys until next birthday/Xmas
