GER30. Some more. Thought we were at the end of this move down so went to make a coffee, came back and it was still going but there was not another pullback for me to load up some extras, so many pips have been left on the table. Don´t tell me! now it will reverse all the way back up during the evening.

The sort of PA we have been having is really difficult to trade, even this afternoons madness is not easy especially if you are not sure what has triggered it.
I still can not find a reason for this, none of the news I can see would get a response like this.

Dutchdaxy over on Carpediem seems to think it was a technical correction for the DAX and Euro stox but I see that some dollar pairs have reacted as well, so has the DOW, so I am not convinced. There were some singles on the DAILY MP and the WEEKLY MP but price over shot those by loads. The reaction is too focused so I think this is one or two of the BIG BOYS and or Central Banks manipulating the market. Some thing that does not and can not happen!!! HAH!!

Any one else got any thoughts or are all minds empty, some thing you need to do if the "Observers" (Fringe) are around, actually I could do with one of them now especially as they are able to see all potential future scenarios. Perhaps Walter could put together an algorithm that could trade for me although, 732 pips today means I could take the rest of the month off, well, a week maybe.

My first thought was manipulation as well. But truth be told. I'm not the one who should dig deeper into this stuff. And I'm certainly not sure if actually the thing that wrote Dutchdaxy makes sense. So I'll just write "unusual move".

I think it is called "Sitting on the Fence" However, looking at the chart now. I know I am a sad bugger, but if I know what has caused a move I know how to trade it because I know what to expect.

GER30 +38+16 (x6). Classic 123 Div @ BRN & S/R. added on the pullback target todays open which is also bottom of opening range. If you have not noticed, the days open often becomes a strong S/R, and before you ask, I draw the opening range by hand it is the first hour of the Cash Session 09.00 - 10.00 CET, the Days Open line indicator is in .

Thanks. But, the outcome was ok but the execution was garbage, if you look closely I jumped the gun on both entries and got away with it, this time!

GER30+25 (x6). Dropped down to the 5pip Range bar for a better view. another classic entry Dbl Top + Div @ Confluence. Despite that I waited for confirmation of a 123 (Pullback). The entry was close to the strong S/R which had now been tested twice, but the oscillators showed no sign of Div, the entry had enough room for me to move to BE, just in case, but price did as expected and ran down to the BRN which was a clear stopping point as you can see from the M30 chart.

Let´s see if the Big Boys play "Catch me if you can" today. There is an unfilled price Gap down below which they were not able to fill with yesterdays drop.

Hi Dee

Thanks for posting your charts, they are most inspiring. I have a question. I'm using the correct templates and settings but my macd and stokes look nothing like yours. Is it because of a difference in brokers perhaps?

No, it´s because you have a standard candle chart not a Renko chart, not sure how you managed that on an M3 Offline chart!

What I find strange is, we are trading an Index that is made up of individual stocks and is supposed to reflect the buying and selling of those stocks and yet what we see happening on the chart does not reflect the activity in the stocks, why is that? The same thing happens across the board in all the other Indexes too.

Ger30 +10+10. Happy Easter. Although considering what happened to him, you know who I mean, it is a strange thing to say, we are supposed to be celebrating the Torture and Death of a person, go figure??? Here in Spain they parade 2 tonne effigies down the street carried on the shoulders of the "Brotherhood", which BTW is an exclusive club membership by invitation only, and people standing at the sides of the street cry, as you would expect considering the occasion, and then we wish people a "Happy Easter" is that because we are trying to cheer them up? And one other thing while I am on the subject, where the hell did the Easter Bunny come from and what is with Easter Eggs both chocolate and real painted or colored chicken eggs?

I now have this working great on 2 and 4 minute charts, but in order to trade 3 minutes I'm not sure if the script I'm using is suitable. In the EA whenever I change the Renko time frame from anything other than a multiple of 2, the advisory text disappears and the offline chart doesn't work (shown here: https://www.screencast.com/t/oebGrd252FFO ). I googled it, but I can't see anything regarding 3 minutes for this EA, which is Renko Live Charts V4.13

Sorry if I'm being a plank with this. I could try another EA but this one is stable and doesn't crash my platform.

LOL... Why do bother with M3 when it's working on M2 or M4? Sorry I just don't get it. I use M93 for example. It doesn't matter which offline TF you use as long as it's not real time frame chart like M5,M15,M30 etc..

No mal intent. but I have no idea what you are trying to do all the video showed was you changing the offline chart designation but not opening an offline chart.!!
Offline charts are not Time based an M2 chart is not a 2 minute chart and an M3 is not a 3 minute chart.
This EA can only open one Offline chart off one 1 minute chart, for every other Offline chart you need a separate 1 minute chart.
Use whatever Offline chart designation that you want have an M1000000010 if you want. Apart from the existing MT4 Timeframes. 1, 5, 15, 60,240,1440 etc.
Do you already have an M3 chart open. If you do then you are a PLANK. That is why you are getting that message.

Ciao dee500,
First, I want to congrat with you for the great results and for share with us
I am from Italy and started to read this thread a few days ago and I found it very ineteresting. I have not read all the posts because in English it is not so fluent for me. BTW, I saw that initially the rules that Jaquemate suggested, were to open a renko chart ( with heiken ashi ), and knowing the main trend, open trades on the same direction, when the renko bar shows a change of color ( after the close of the second candle, putting the stop above the previous high/low or when the candle change color in the opposite side of teh trade ). Then, I suppose that some rules have changed or some other have been added.
From what I see for your chart, I realized that your renko is for 3 bricks instead of 5 as Jaquemate suggested. Do you think it makes a great difference or maybe would it be ok to stay with 5 as well?
Do you have a specific reason to have the renko at 3 with dax or do you apply the same size to all the pair?
I would like to ask you a confirm of the way you operate ( of course, if you want to share your strategy )
It seems that you point your attention to the high-high – low-low…associated to the lwma, and also to the 123 pattern. Moreover, you look for the divergence in the macd and the stoch. Am I correct?
Can you tell me, if you have some specific rules that you apply.
For ex. If you have an order of the things you verify. And if you open your position only if something happens. For example, if you have HH – HL – HH – HL, then you wait for the renko candle close above the LWMA (that must be green ) or something else.
If you think my questions are too much or too personal, no matter, I understand. If you already answered to these question, I am sorry ( I did not read all the posts )
Thank you, ciao
