Range Bars vs Tick bars

Recommended Posts

I am looking at mkp work with range bars, and I am experimenting a little bit with them... seems like it makes a much cleaner chart...

 

Would like to hear what experience do other fellow traders have with range bars, thought they are not that much popular, they seem to work pretty well... thanks Walter.

Unfortunately TradeStation does not supply range bars. I wish they did. One of the trading magazines had an article about them recently and they seem very straightforward. They are probably really good for level type trading like your flip trades, walter.

 

Alas...

Thanks for response GCB, so far the experience with this type of bars has been quite well... cheers Walter.

I am playing around with them right now. I have Sierra and its easy to change them around. so far i have been playing with 1.0 R on the ES, 1.0 on the Er and 10 R on the Ym. the charts are amazingly clean and you can clearly see Supp/Res lines and other patterns jump out at you, almost too clearly. I have backtested all three and the ES seemed to work the best but i didnt extensively go back, that will take a while. tomorrow i may open up a 1.0R es chart with my studies alongside my regular chart and SIm the range chart. I'll keep you posted on what i'm finding if you'd like.

When you say mkp do you mean Market Profile? "True" MP can only use the 30 minute TPOs, not range bars or any other bars. I tried MarketDelta with range bars and didn't like them. All I saw was a lot of noise so I found it difficult to identify new trends early as I can with time-based candlesticks.

My first time posting a chart... hope it works... I played with 1 point ES range bars today and if you can see the chart, you'll notice we had a fairly "markets in balance" day. We moved out of value twice and it was rejected back in value areas (blue lines) Purple and red lines are pivot points. There were only a few opportunities today. You'll notice the range bars clearly show support and resistance. R1 (top red line) was a good short back into value and the 80% rule worked as the locals drove it down to the lower value area. That was the best pplay of the day, 8 points i'll take any time. I would have taken the breakout above value to R1 but miight have only gotten a point or so out of it. I'll continue to try range bars, i like the clearly defined patterns and you'll notice much less "noise" I am not a fan of trading in the value areas so i sit onmy hands a lot. I'll keep you posted.....

A little bit of Woodie and a little bit of Dr. Bob. I'll play a 50CCI (bars) cross of the 0 line and price crosses the 34 EMA at the same time. (countertrend so i dont take them all) and i'll play the 14CCI (white line) trend trade on the hook back representing a pullback from the 100 or -100 line across zero. Those are pretty high % trades. Of course if price is in the value area, i trade completely different. Value area rejections, 80% rule, or i wait for other timeframe players to enter the market on a breakout. I also have 2 other timeframe charts not listed. One is an 89T chart with regression channels and a M/A and a 15 minute chart for longer timeframe reference. I'm liking these range bars...

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
