Renko chart US stock opening market trading strategy - simple & effective
A strategy that has worked well for me in the past! Sharing here to give you an idea what you can do with Renko charts and the sort of stuff I do and a way to play the open of the US open trading stocks!
It is a simple Renko chart opening range break strategy and I will show you how it works using the example of US stock $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ It is combined with the following tools:
-
ORB – set to first 5-minutes of US Open
-
VWAP – utilising the 1st set of bands
-
Awesome Oscillator (AO) * 2 (set at 3hr and 1hr and based on Candlestick chart inputs)
-
Volume profile – only the POC (Point of Control) is required
-
Renko Blocks MAV filter – the blocks incorporate a 200 MAV overlay, making them either bullish or bearish
-
MAV – set to 10,2 periods + offset
Example AMZN 1-Minute Renko chart, $0.35 Block size
Rules:
-
AO = trend filter. Both must align, which is either bullish or bearish. You will trade only in that direction. If they don't align, stay out.
-
POC – Volume profile – for any trade entry we need the POC between the 2 VWAP bands – to benefit from the Volume bounce at those price levels. If this does not happen, do not take the trade.
-
For a long trade, as in this example, the Renko blocks would be trending up green (bullish filter) through VWAP
-
Breakouts - ORB set to first 5 minutes of the trading day, once price greater than the upper ORB and greater than the upper VWAP band = Enter the trade.
-
Initial stop loss can be placed under the ORB or the VWAP.
-
Exit = on MAV exit as price crosses back down (In this example, set to 10,2)
-
Looking for R:R > 1:1 and Win Ratio > 60%
-
NB. Rules are reversed for short trades. (POC should still stay within the VWAP, though at entry)
Its simple and effective. Let me know what you think.
