In these tricky market conditions, it’s important to use a combination of time and non time based charts which is why we developed some specialist indicators Renko indicators here at Quantumtrading.
The chart featured is the version for MT5 and shows this morning’s strong move in the gbp/jpy currency pair. However, the indicator can be applied to any instrument made available by your broker. There is also a version for MT4 and Ninjatrader. In addition, the value of the renko brick can either be set manually or you can follow the atr value suggested by the indicator.
In this example, the currency pair began the move lower after the start of the London session in a downtrend that was relatively smooth and free from pullbacks as we can see on the chart. By applying our other unique indicators such as trends, trend monitor, support and resistance and pivots we can see when the move is likely to come to an end.
The move lower delivered in excess of 150 pips with the Renko not only smoothing out the price action but also capturing the momentum behind the move.
