Apocalypto, not strictly true. It all depends...... — Apocalypto, Madness ? - That is not strictly true. It all depends upon your win/loss %. In my testing of C4 I have found that my win/loss % is approx 70% so 7 out of 10 wins (this is only ...

I think you misunderstand — Angus, I think you misunderstand. What we are all referring to here is true Renko - i.e. based upon single ticks! We are not talking about the crappy MT4 Renko indicator. There is a script from mqlservices which ...

Chris, isn't the 8 LWMA a bit redundant on that chart — Chris, To me the 8 LWMA looks a bit redundant on that chart. Surely with Renko the action is so smooth that the Trix is all you need. Just my opinion. Ian

Those Renkos look great — Hi Edge, Those Renkos look great, but I can see that I would not be satisfied with just 5 or even with 10 pips going with the trend when trading those beauties! I'm not sure why you say we should master the time based ...

The reason that works is that..... — The reason that works is that the first Trix bars are huge, so later on when there is enough history to generate normal sized ones, the scale on the chart is shuch that you can't even see them. Zooming the ...

There is'nt much point...... — There isn't much point in adding/tweaking indicators, if you can't trade what has already been shown in this thread. There have been several profitable combinations/variations shown. Most people, including myself ...

I didn't try to optimise — Hi Serious stuff. I didn't try to optimise, just tried 9 -didn't like it , so tried 6 and thought it was OK. Signals will vary in any case. I am suprised that there are a few of us runniing two periods of Trix rather ...

Not usually a problem going levels higher — Mary, Its not usually a problem going levels higher (unless Metatrader have messed up on their pre-release testing). The problems only usuallly occur when you are running an older version than an ...

You can look at my post number 1999 on page 134 — hi, You can look at my post - number 1999 on page 134. I use 3,1,1,1 and 6,1,1,1 plus smC4Scalper candles set to 3,1,1,1. Ian P.S the reason I have the Trx at 3,1,1,1 is for the height/depth of ...

Trademeister, sorry can't get picture of inputs tab — Okay TM, You have been around for a long time, so if you are using Metatrader then you should know how to change the input parameters of an indicator. When you drag a custom indicator onto ...

Yes Mary — Yes Mary, Set the Trix moving Averages to EMA for all 3 for both the 5min and the 15min. It doesn't matter which type the Signal MA is because it is not used. Note in MT4 the code for an EMA is 1 ( for SMA = 0 , etc.) Ian

Sorry Edge, That still doesn't work for manual backtest — Sorry Edge, That still doesn't work for manual backtesting because you need the 15min to line up with the 5min bars. That is having the 5min bars 3 times the width of the 15min bars and ...

zznbrm, I agree with you about backtesting — zznbrm, I agree with you about backtesting. Though C4 seems a little too discetionary to backtest - at least it is for me until I define my entry,TP, premature TP and SL and premature exit rules. I ...
