A Renko Strategy for Trading - Part 6This is intended more as educational material on a strategy for using renko charts. To begin with, I'll be using USOil in the examples but will include other markets as I continue through the series. The material is not intended to prescribe or recommend actual trades as the decision to place trades is the responsibility of each individual who trades as they assume all risks for their own positions and accounts. Chart setup: (Part 1) Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) 12 black line Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) 20 red line Parabolic SAR (PSAR) 0.09/0.09/.23 blue circles Simple Moving Average (SA) 20 blue line (Part 2) Stochastics 5, 3, 3 with boundaries 80/20 dark blue/light blue Stochastics 50, 3, 3 with boundaries 55/45 red Overlay these two on one indicator. Refer to 'Part 2' as to how to do this (Part 3) True Strength Indicator (TSI) 14/4/4 dark blue/ red Directional Movement Indicator DMI 14/14 ADX-dark green, +DI-dark blue, -DI-red Part 6 Only use 2 block sizes SxS to trade with. One for placing orders and one to confirm plan Previously I had many different block size charts of the same instrument but I think that causes more confusion the benefit Set interval to 1 minute for all charts and block sizes Potential block sizes to consider or experiment with: Crude Oil: .10/.20 Currencies: .0005/.0010 BTCUSD: 10/20 SPX500: 2.5/5.0 Ags: .005/.010 I use BTCUSD for training purposes along with the TV paper trading capabilities. Recap: Basic analogy is that of an unconscious patient brought into an emergency department and a triage is performed to determine a plan of treatment. In this scenario, price is the patient, the indicators are probes and tests against the patient, and you're the ED physician performing the triage with the treatment plan the trading plan. This is a reactive type of trading plan. Based on observation of price, volume and indicators, a reactive order is placed with a somewhat tight stop Depending on trading style or success rate the exit strategy could be either a target method or trailing stop strategy There are guidelines for adding positions or re-entry based on choice in previous step Basic Strategy: Buying (basic) 12/20 DEMA where 12 crosses up over the 20 and + 1 block (filters) PSAR and price have swapped where price is greater than PSAR Stoch (short term - blue) is or has recently crossed from near 0 up over 20 Stoch (long term - red) is or has recently crossed from near 0 up over 20 TSI (blue) has crossed up over the signal line (red) DMI +DI moving up with -DI dropping. Ideally +DI crossed up over -DI at or soon after DEMA cross

LTC Renko decending wedge shows potential bottom and priceLooking first to the left on this daily extending back, there isn't much left to the imagination on the left side. The real question is whether a higher low here will signal a breakout above the wedge. Whether this happens may depend on how much truth there is in the BTC parabola. It's not shown here, but if memory serves, if we range from this point for a couple of weeks, and if the market behaves as the parabola says it should, the tangent will raise the bottom for all coins regardless. Failing that, this wedge at least provides a view of a long term trend support which, though very low against expectations for this cycle, will likely, for what it's worth, remain unchallenged.
