  2. I looked at RENKO bars but I had problems with the fact that the bar would form when the NQ went 10 ticks, lets say but then if it pulled back a tick on next trade the bar would disappear and not appear again unless it moved that full 10 ticks. So if it dipped 10 ticks and then retraced 9 the bar would disappear and if I went short on a bar entry then the bar pulls back it got frustrating. Maybe I was using them wrong haha

  3. you can try point original renko, it gives good structure and is less fast moving than the Turbo ones I use.

    I have issue with how they paint too. I don't always see the true highs and lows of a bar and that is a problem. my programming guy is working on a solution for me though. IllIbe able to see these without losing the structure and reliability I have with the (indicator) values from Turbo.

    I can't make time based bars work reliably. of course it is there but with no structure for price I am not consistent enough and it skews my r/r so badly. Ticks are better but the same issue persists when you have one giant range bar that Fs everything else up.

    anyway it works for me but I know just enough to know I am an idiot.

  6. Update. Still a bit of hesitate and missed trades. Extra Studying at night and analyze each trading day helps. Better then that drawdown i went through last week.

    Yeah, that does not sound right at all. The best iteration of the Renko is the unirenko variant. See if you can find one that matches/is similar to that.

    Well, I'd have to pull up a specific chart in your timeframe in order to see how you'd like to compare it. So list/post a chart time today and what your settings are, and I'll find what I have to match it. (NQ I assume?)
