Trading made simple with Renko Charts (G-X Norway ETF Example)

Thought of making a post every now and then which shows how simple and stress free it is trading with Renko Charts.

Here's the G-X Norway ETF



Renko Charts - Price Action Case Study


I know in hindsight things look easy, but let's ignore the entire leg of the renko brings and focus on leg 1.

We see a strong trending market and then a series of down (red) reko bars. Plotting using the Fib tool, we get 14.25 as 38.2% retracement level. The first retracement fails to retrace to 38.2% and rallies, only to make a lower high, indicative of a losing momentum. This would have been the first signal. After a small pullback to the decline, we see a continued downtrend... and where does price retrace to?? Voila 38.2% of the leg 1 at 14.25.

Price then rallies until it makes a lower high. So we plot the next leg with Fib. The retracement here was quick and swift, with price reversing bang at 61.8% Fib, 15.26. Further confluence comes from the trendline holding.

Sure, between 14.25 and the drop to 15.26, it would have been just a 7% growth compared to the peak of 18%. However, with a bit of patience and objectivity, a trader could have purchased again at 15.26 thus increasing their equity even more.

Goes to show how simple it is to trade with Renko charts.
