Ask bigalow. They showed enough that an earnest trader can go from there if the setup resonates with them. Hell, the kicker is a generic candlestick pattern, it ain't like bigalow made it up. He is just showing some charts, know what i mean vern?
I am only going by the video that you posted. And what I saw was that the "kicker" signal was a gap up on a stock. That seemed to be it. Am I missing something?
You just totally dated yourself, lol, that is awesome. Prolly only 5% of folks on this forum remember that.
Overnight, you don't even trade candlesticks so it is understandable that this is of no interest to you. And your diligently sceptical nature makes it a natural that periodically spray the bushes hither and yon. Nothing wrong with that. Dog gotta do what he do. What would be of interest is if you'd share some of your Renkmanship with the mysterious Renko charts with the rest of us. Maybe start a thread. Guarantee you'd get a good deal of traffic from all of us who keep an open mind as to different ways to trade a chart.
My mind is not in any pattern when it comes to what they guy posted. What he posts is what fits his narrative. How about the bazillion charts that show a gap up on first bar (kicker), and then a sinking to the depths of hell afterwards? Nope, we'll never see those. And don't post Vern videos. Worst part of the 80s/90s man.
Ya know em and ya love em. Look at how many made it all the way up to direct-to-video. Gone with the wind couldn't even do That. 1985 Dr. Otto and the Riddle of the Gloom Beam as Unnamed Cameo Role, Dr. Otto's Disguise 1987 Ernest Goes to Camp 1988 Ernest Saves Christmas 1990 Ernest Goes to Jail 1991 Ernest Scared Stupid 1993 Ernest Rides Again 1994 Ernest Goes to School (direct-to-video) 1995 Slam Dunk Ernest (direct-to-video) 1997 Ernest Goes to Africa (direct-to-video) 1998 Ernest in the Army (direct-to-video)
WTF. There's your answer. You got a mental block that eliminates the point of the vid. If you want to find out what a kicker signal is, but you are too biased to focus during a 4 minute bigalow vid, then look it up on wickipedia something that aligns with your delicate sensibilities. If you just wanna bitch and moan, then have at it. It's a free country, lol. kickers are reversal patterns. Do they work? Do your stats. Or don't. Looking forward to that Renko Thread outta you holmes.
