Hi
I've been trading similar patterns (especially hat/head&shoulders/3peaks3valleys) on DAX M1 period for a while. But there is a bit of noise to deal with. I would never have thought of using line chart & range bars as a way of clarifying price action. Congratulations & thanks for sharing a very original approach. I'm running rb20 on the DAX in parallel to M1 with good comparable results, so may drop M1. It would be less stressful & I could use more stop orders & less market orders. I trade the London morning session & this morning 0800 - 1200:- 4 x hats & 2 x 123s with trend, only one loss. Not bad for pre NFP Friday & I wouldn't have clocked all those trades on M1 even though they were there to be seen. Can't back test much with range bars as I only have limited history, but all is looking good. Hope the same is true for you guys!

Best wishes

Zee

great when it comes to picking which size range bar to use you have to do some research its not 1 size fits all. an example is if I would trade emini s and p I would use maybe 6 tick range bar. But yes principle works in any market, also if you get a futures chart like sierra you can then do a thorough backtest to confirm the best range bar setting

I'll have a look at Sierra. If I was in a US time zone I would also look at futures but here in UK DAX has lots of volatility & I can spread bet it without paying tax. Broker's spread is just 1 point.

then get a demo from sierra or any futures broker like amp . they give you a 15 day trial then you can do a good backtest find the right range and then do you spread betting
