Renko THV Trading Strategy
This trading strategy was developed based on the THV system and therefore uses a series of custom indicators for Metatrader 4 which are included at the end of the article. This system uses Renko bars and is based primarily on price action and does not take the time factor as much into account.The best results are produced with box sizes of 5 pips and 13 pips. Of course the trader can test the system with different box sizes.
As always it is recommended to evaluate this system with a demo account before risking real money.
After installing the custom indicators and the template we will get an image like the following:
