Thank you @Matomi and @BBalazs!
I had went through many techniques outlined in this thread!
123 system by Mark Crisp is pretty useful in identifying the beginning and the ending of the trade (attached below). HA candles are not reliable for my style. EMA numbers varies with different charts/timelines. That is why I wanted everyone's idea here

Anyway, I use the following to identify the trend!
UP Trend Trading:
In Daily Chart, the EMA 8 should be above EMA 21. In H4 chart, there should be a swing low of EMA 8 above EMA 21. Also, check for the Higher Highs and Higher lows.
Wait for a pullback (Reversal Candle Pattern) and trade along the trend.

Also let me add another strategy I use which saved a lot of failures!

Its either Consolidation or Trending.
If higher charts are consolidated, then the lower charts have trends. (You can increase your lot size depends on your risk management when trading lower charts).
If a lower chart breaks a trend, look higher charts for the HH & HL patterns to trade according to the trend. If H1 is consolidated, I look for M30 or M15 for any trends.

I basically trade according to the trend with the help of 123 system (the pdf I attached in the previous post). But rather than breakout trade, I use 123 system to identify the beginning and the end of the trade to trade according to the trend.

For sure Matomi,
The only problem is my screenshots wont be relevant to this thread bcoz I don't use Renko nor Heiken Ashi! But I love both the techniques involved in this thread! You guys are amazing!
I try to see the what price action is doing to the renko chart but using the regular chart! So that I can incorporate price action based on candles as well!

Step 1: Identify the Trend using MAs. (8 EMA, 21 EMA. Also, add 50 EMA if you can't identify the trend change)
Step 2: Identify the Pattern of HHHLs. (Helps when not to trade amidst of above condition) Draw a trend line if it helps.
Step 3: Wait for the reversal candle favoring the trend.
TDI Traders Dynamic Index "one of the best tool" Hands down! Gives you the trend, the momentum, and limits.
Step 4: Finally, if the RSI crosses the Trade Signal Line (Green over Red) during Step 3, Go for it!

I usually try many combinations! But this one is consistently more profitable than many other techniques I used. Just wanna share it to the community that I gained most from!

DAX +4 +3 +2 +9

Or not, the +4 trade had TP at 11705.0, but... but. So after that I decided to scalp because I had lot of other stuff to do. Hope you all utilized "unusual" DAX day like this to make some pips as well.

I have to confess I have made a few changes.
Thanks go to
Clive Packham for his Trend Hinter and his use of the 35 and 10 LWMA.
@Divergence (Harold) for reminding me of how to trade HHs and HLs.
@DutchDaxy for showing me how best to use Market Profile for that extra bit of information on where the market "might" be going and why it is going in that direction despite the lack of News.

I have been scalping the 1 pip and 3 pip Renkos for months (seems like a lifetime), but to really scalp the HHs and HLs I found that the 3 pip Range chart was easier to follow, that is just my personal preference, PhilippineFX, Matomi and others are doing a much better job than I using Renko charts.

Here are examples of the charts I am using.

Gotta love it when someone posts their chart with their feelings stated about each trade, I just sit here seething, maybe this chart markup 'method' is better for the blood pressure ha ha. If those comments are on a +90 something session - would love to see what gets written with results like mine lol Nice work Mr Dee.

Is that Volume or Market Profile? Welcome back

Hi Dee50

Nice to see you back on the thread and thanks for the mention in despatches, glad you found it helpful as I've found many of your post helpful to my trading too. Thats what its all about at the end of the day, like minded traders helping like minded traders, so thanks for that...

On the topic of like minded traders helping like minded traders I have started a skype trading room with just that in mind.

We already have a few of the guys from your thread here like Matomi, PhillippineFX and Xian to mention just a few, Oh and dear old Harold is there too but now renamed "Darth Vaper Trader" since his deep breathing on his videos...

So if you would like to join then just skype me on clive.packham1 and I'll invite you in....

Market Profile. here is the Indicator I use and a template. It is setup for Pepperstone, they are a GMT+2 Broker so in the section "ShiftbrokerofGMT" I had to set it to"10" being 10am, I wanted each session to coincide with the opening range, I am CET so at 9am my time it is 8am GMT, broker time is 10am (GMT+2) confused? yes so was I. If you are not bothered about the opening range or want to mark it manually set it to 99. One important note. "Lookback" I have set to 10 days, the longer the lookback period the greater the strain on the CPU to the point that it will freeze your computer!!
I also changed the the row height parameters from 8 pips to 4 pips.
The best thing to do is load the template save the "set" file and play around with the default settings, then if you get lost just load the set file or template.
First load the indicator onto a M30 chart (30 minutes) that will give you the Daily Market Profile, if you want to see Weekly press H1(1 hourl) or Monthly press H4(4 hour).
Have fun.
The indicator .ex4 goes into "Indicators" the DLL goes into "Libraries" the mqh goes into "include"
