KEEP IT SIMPLE

There are a lot of new traders getting wrecked. I'm sorry. Follow the trend. Follow price direction. Remember: The news is irrelevant. Follow price. Can you keep your money in the right direction?

Note

if all you did was trade price direction through a simple moving average you would probably be a better trader than the other 93%.. How complicated must we make this?

Note

There's always room for speculation.. but don't fight price direction. You cannot bend the market- you must make yourself bend with the market. If you are not willing to flow with the market, then you will be destroyed.

Now, don't get excited, but watch for this potential. I can only speculate and will wait for confirmation.. again, what I think is not important.. follow price (you get the idea)

Note

Here's the RUT. More speculation? Sure.. keep an open mind.. We can find support and have an incredible rally soon.. but I wouldn't count on it. I'm fully prepared if that happens but will be just as "in the trend" if we take out March lows.

Note

renko is fantastic but it's not magical. It can be used for active trading decisions but the point is to stick with the price direction. If your objective is to stick with the trend, consider heikin-ashi on daily or weekly timeframes. Remove all your beautiful trend lines and focus on the trend.. consider using the moving averages to make active trading decisions.. It's easier said than done. The hardest part of any strategy is to actually follow it..

Note

I have been getting a ton of questions about using renko for trading. The idea I posted above is as simple as it gets-the whole point of renko. However, renko is very powerful and has thousands of configurations. If one wanted to use renko for active trading decisions it all comes down to your style of trading/investing. I say- keep it simple and look at the big picture. Follow price. If you're a day trader and comfortable moving your money in/out of trades quickly, renko can meet the need. It requires a lot of tweaking based on the asset. You need to have a pro or pro+ plan to use renko on smaller timeframes and to customize the renko block settings from ATR (AVERAGE TRUE RANGE) down to the traditional or fixed block size. ATR should not be used for active trading decisions because the chart will change as time progresses. It will lie to you and will not behave the way you think.

Note

I realize renko bars are not playable in tradingview published ideas. Maybe we can send a feature request to tradingview to allow renko charts to be 'playable' so people can follow the updates.

9/28- futures printing up. Did we find a bottom or just a bump in the trend?

Note

dow futures, interesting. Be prepared- this zone could be noisy

Note

come on... keep that price moving!

Note

Here's an example of using smaller renko blocks to trade price direction for quicker action. This might be equivalent to trading on 60 min+ candles. BTW, this is a very important divergence here. Notice the lower highs in price and the higher highs on the stoch/rsi indicator. This is known as a hidden bear divergence. It's bearish until broken of course. Look for price to turn down or up very soon

Note

Notice bottom indicator.. careful here guys and gals.

Note

What a move! We can't outsmart price.
