Package:  Progster's Renko BrickAge Breakout Strategy A

There are multiple ways to trade a market after performing a Renko analysis of it's price action.  This add-on to Swisstrader's Renko Bricks Indicator Package implements a consolidation breakout style of Renko trading.

What It Is

A single strategy which waits for Renko bricks of a specified age to form (establishing the "consolidation"), then trades a breakout of the brick, going long, short, or both.  Profit target and stop loss are expressed in #'s of Renko bricks (fractions allowed), and the brick size itself is settable/optimizable.

Many test results from this strategy have been presented in the Renko BrickAge Breakout Strategy Research of the CFT Forum.

What It Looks Like

Here is a picture of the Renko BrickAge Breakout Strategy A applied to a 30m chart of JPM:

Note how the breakout trade is not taken until the brick has "aged to readiness" .  This is a "gray box" strategy, so there are a number of subtle entry variations to be selected and/or optimized over.

And here is a picture of just the strategy trading a 50t chart of the ER2:

The strategy optimizes easily and quickly on any symbol or timeframe.

You set the scale of interest with your definition of brick size (or let the optimizer vary it), then run the strategy to find out how how long of a consolidation was predictive of a subsequent successful breakout for the historical data under test.

How It Works

This strategy uses SwissTrader's Renko function to calculate all Renko information.

The function call makes available to the strategy:

and the strategy acts on this information to enter breakout trades after bricks of specified age form.

Special Features

Brick height (price range) may be specified in ticks, or in percent (of price). 

Using a brick height in ticks is ideal when daytrading on a low timeframe chart, taking advantage of the strategy's ability to "reset" the Renko calculation at the start of each new session.

Using a brick height in percent provides an "apples-to-apples" comparison of how different symbols trade using this Renko trending technique on high timeframes (i.e. swing trading).

The strategy will form bricks using a "since forever" Renko, or it will reset with each session to any of 3 different reset levels.
