I've never used Renko charts in trading. From what I've read about them they are basically very similar to point-and-figure charts - based on price only. The only difference is that the price movements are depicted without building up columns.

From my experience with the point-and-figure charting, I must say that it's not something interesting edge-wise. I've failed to find any reasonable use for those charts in my FX trading.

renko

hey ezrydn..... ezrydn, almost sounds like a peter fonda and dennis hopper fan.....

a lot of work was done on renko charts for mq4 over at forexfactory..... lou g and last viking did most of it.....

renko is just about as close to grid trading as you can get...... basically the point size of the box represents the grid size...... usually the idea is to buy or sell at the next box level with a trailing stop some number of boxes away...... which is the same principle as grid trading......

for me, the best use is to be able to look at multi year charts and get an idea of how often a trailing stop would have been hit vs a profit target..... like, would a 2 block target get hit before a 2 block stoploss.....

renko is also similar trend following..... either long term or intraday...... i posted a 10 point 40 year usdjpy renko chart before..... below would intraday versions of usdjpy and audusd.....

//----

speakin of audusd, fixin to let go some audusd shorts real cheap...... truth is, will have to pay somebody to take'em off my hands...:eek:... my first loss in a long time.......h

//----

Not as much a fan as I was his Hollywood Looklike. Put me in Vegas, in"uniform," and on my Harley and there was no question. Many times, showing someone my CDL wouldn't convince them they'd made a mistake. I met Pete on a Run once and he said his friends had seen me. I told him I understood how hard it was for him to stop anywhere.
We had a good laugh. He's 5 years older than me. I've kept more hair. LOL
