Exploring Renko Charts: Simple Trading Strategies for Success Today, I'm excited to introduce you to two effective trading strategies designed for Renko charts. Renko charts, unlike traditional Japanese candlestick charts, focus solely on price movements, offering traders a unique perspective on market trends and opportunities. Before diving into the strategies, let's first understand the basics of Renko charts and how they differ from Japanese candlestick charts.
Renko charts are renowned for their:
Absence of time: Renko charts disregard time intervals, concentrating solely on price movements. This feature helps filter out market noise, allowing traders to identify clear trends.
Uniformity: Each brick on a Renko chart represents a fixed price movement, ensuring uniformity across the chart. This consistency aids in trend identification and reversal spotting.
Trend identification: Renko charts excel at identifying trends due to their focus on price movements. Traders can swiftly discern trend reversals or continuations by analyzing brick patterns.
Reduced noise: By filtering out minor price fluctuations, Renko charts offer cleaner data, making it easier for traders to identify significant price movements and trends.
In contrast, Japanese candlestick charts focus on time intervals and include all price movements within the selected period. Both chart types have their advantages, but for our strategies, we'll be using Renko charts.
Now, let's delve into the strategies:
1. Buy Green, Sell Red (with and without 13 EMA):
This straightforward strategy involves buying when a green candle appears and selling when a red candle emerges.
Option 1: Implement this strategy with a 13 EMA (Exponential Moving Average). Buy when a green candle closes above the 13 EMA line and sell when a red candle touches the 13 EMA line.
Option 2: Execute the strategy without the 13 EMA. Simply buy on green and sell on red.
While Option 1 may yield slightly delayed entries and exits, it provides additional confirmation, especially during volatile market conditions.
Consider automating this strategy with an algorithmic trading bot for seamless execution.
2. Strategy that forecasts the market?: This strategy tells you if the market will go up or down after a important for example economic meeting!

Cashing out on market asymmetries Skip to the second paragraph to get to the point, first paragraph discusses observations...
What you see in the bottom of the screen is a script I recently published just for fun; it's a momentum measurement for bitcoin against several fiat pairs and crypto pairs, and all summed together. The top of the screen is essentially the btc price, but somewhat more reactive. What is really interesting here is that on the morning of 21.11 the red line (which represents the sum of bitcoin momentum across multiple pairs) took a steep dive to an order of magnitude less than it has often been at (bottom pink circle), an obvious red flag for long holders. Then 3 hours later the XBTUSD price took a quick decline as well! The steep decline in the momentum looks largely responsible by the DASHBTC pair, but took a few hours to show in the BTCUSD pair. The reason so many prices of cryptos are stable is because of the work of the people doing arbitrage, this normalizes the market. However in this case it took longer than expected, possibly for a number of reasons, due to time of day, blockchain verification delays, or simply there are not so many arbitrage bots on the DASHBTC pair, or any other reason... Then 3 hours later the bitcoin price followed suit. The insane divergence of DASHBTC from the overall value of BTC can be taken in only 2 ways: Dash has a sudden market strength, or money is moving from BTC to DASH, possibly foreshadowing a decline in BTC.
What would be interesting is a suite of indicators that measure how volume moves through a specific crypto to find its overall worth (ie. multiple exchanges and multiple pairings). If a lot of money is being poured into, or out of, one pair then the overall value may also be effected with a time delay. Enough of a time delay to get a great position (like the 3 hours mentioned above). I will need to think about how to appropriately measure this, normalizations schemes, volumes, momentum, price, ect... If anyone wishes to discuss ideas related to this I would be more than happy to talk.
Cheers!
