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...

    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
