Three Buddhas on a Kagi chartAs you can see, TVC:GOLD formed a very rare yet really strong pattern called ‘Three Buddhas’. This pattern is similar but identical to the western ‘Head and Shoulders’. Notice how the third Buddha’s leg is breaking two resistance (waists in Kagi terminology). Considering the high price of the precious metal now, it could be a reversal point since the chart has already turned red. Renko chart is also showing the first red brick in the series, so better short now.
Renko
Litecoin ready to break its bear cycleJust like all the other big caps and blue chips, Litecoin is showing a shift in momentum.
- Big divergence on higher timeframes.
- Super tight daily OBV channel.
- 6H kumo breakout + some healthy retracement.
- Conservative target on the chart.
Litecoin looks ready for a pump.
Also take a look at one of my older charts on the Bitcoin dominance
The idea is playing out, supports are broken. Altcoins is where you need to focus on now.
Good luck!
A Renko Strategy for Trading - Part 9This 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.

(Part 3)

Renko Chart Settings

Natural Gas (ngas): renko/traditional/blksize .005/.010/.025
Soybeans/Wheat/Corn (soybnusd/wheatusd/cornusd): can use the ngas setup
S&P 500 (spx500usd): renko/traditional/blksize 2.5/5.0/12.5
Euros (EURUSD): renko/traditional/blksize .0005/.0010/.0025
Renko Percentage Move Based SystemThe (Al Nami Quantum Blocks v.4) script is based on Renko chart that is based on % move of the selected symbol. This is different from the traditional or ATR based Renko charts..
box size = user selected percentage x current price
Alnami Quantum Blocks Channel is composed of 5 levels that are calculated based on the box size:
1- Base
2- Green Box High (GBH) = Base + box size
3- Next Green Box trigger (GBN) = base + (box size x 2)
4- Red Box Low (RBL) = Base - box size
5- Next Red Box trigger (RBN) = base - (box size x 2)
Those levels will appear in the chart with the following order:
------GBN-------
------GBH-------
------BASE------
------RBL-------
------RBN-------
Usually when prices are trending up, the price will stay above the base for most of the time,, when it trending downwards, price stays below base most of the time..
Now how to time your entries based on the channel? This system is equipped with 4 strategies:
1) New Green Box:
When the channel draw a new green box, place a buy order
When the channel draw a new red box after a green box, place a sell order
2) Retracement:
The user have to select one of the above 5 levels to serve as a retracement level, namely, GBN-GBH-Base-RBL-RBN
When the current box is green and low price crosses below the selected level, place a limit buy order at the selected level
When the channel draw a new red box after a green box, place a sell order
3) Auto-Trailing System:
This strategy draws two levels based on a proprietary quantitative algorithm.
When the background color change to green, prices are moving in an upward trend
When the background color change to red, prices are moving in an downward trend
When the background color change to black, prices are moving in range
If the price is above both lines, place a buy order
If the price is below the lower line, place a sell order
Happy trading,

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
Wyckoff XRP Area to be Tested.Upward thrust / last point of supply suggests we will retest this area with, I think, a general move downwards.
This isn't 1minute - it's renko, so check the x-axis before you discriminate.
