The 4-8-4 UniRenkos are set up to capture a range with a threshold solver, bar direction and a moving average crossover.  Inflections can be taken at the slower ribbon band in direction of momentum.  The 4-8-4 UniRenko Template was used with the Threshold Cross Solver.

Excerpt from Follow your System, The Business One Irwin Guide to Trading Systems:

You can consider a trading system like a small business.  ....  Compare that to futures trading.  Except perhaps for the emotional stress, trading is a very nice business to be in.  You will need a relatively small investment.  You won't need a fancy establishment office.  You won't need to advertise.  You won't need to worry about employee problems.  You won' t have any inventory.  The hours are good.  You can reside anywhere in the world.  You won't have to live or die by the competence of others.  If your trading system is successful, you will have a high-return, easy-to-run business that can support you indefinitely.

Algorithms and Directional Trading Guide

When a market is trading sideways, how do you know when it is time to jump in and catch a directional move off a support or resistance area?  Or, scalp 10 or 20 ticks in a ranging market?

You need a process that is simple and repeatable.  A process that will help you determine at a glance when a directional move can happen.  Like trading in the direction of the higher time frame trend.  Like trading when price is moving outside a previous range/value.  Like trading when price is breaking out of an opening range.  Like trading when price is expanding outside of the current developing value.

There are numerous algorithms that work.  Layering them to provide signals that will give you OPPORTUNITIES is all you can ask for as a trader.  Nothing in life or in trading is guaranteed.  But when a trader sees a window -- an opening, he or she will know what to do.  And the more experience a trader receives -- it's called screen time -- the better the trader's skill set becomes when to recognize those opportunities and convert them into profit targets.

The JATS Direction Guide template is comprised of signals when price trading with the direction of the previous close, current open and 8 EMA.  When these three things line up, the market is "directional trading" and can provide an opening to get in with a trend move, or at least provide a backdrop to scalp from.

The JATS Direction Guide template also comes with a Market Analyzer template to show the 8 EMA for the Weekly/Daily/60 Min and 15 Min charts.

Using BloodHound to generate Inflection signals

VWAP Inflections

Crude traded $3.00 lower over the past two trading sessions.  But that is within normal range for crude.  The shift lower was nothing spectacular given the large inventory reports.  Just a smooth order flow down.  Perhaps this is because the producers are all holding their inventories at these rock bottom prices, and will sell once price returns to value, making fortunes.

Inflections taken at VWAP bands produced good trades at the open, 10:30, 11:12, and 12:08.

Range Inflections

1.  Short inflection solver, short only closing price.

and

2.  VAH Inflections = Comparison Solver, siChameleon High/Low to Market Profile Indicator VAH; 0.2 Tick Difference; A=B by 0.2 Ticks -- this is connected to a Long/Short Modifier set to Product

These inflections I keep on my BloodHound template so I can fade ranges, VAH/VAL/POC, VWAP, IB-1-2

3.  SMI2 Indicator Slope (5-1-50-1)

These inflections won't catch the tops and bottoms of trends, but will get me in pullbacks, which is where I want to be when trend trading.
