Master the Secrets of Range Bar Chart Trading

Range bar chart trading is an advantageous and effective way for traders to identify profitable opportunities in the markets. Just like using Renko candles, it eliminates noise from price action and filters out irrelevant market noise that can cloud the judgment of a trader. This blog post will explore range bar chart trading in further detail so traders can better understand this powerful analysis tool at their disposal.

What Are Range Bars?

Range bars are one of a kind method for building price graphs and are great for discovering the basic pattern and development of the present bar. Since every bar on the diagram has the same range (high to low), it lessens the instability and whipsaw inside of the range of the bar.

These bars are produced ceaselessly as another tick is framed outside the base price range. Point & figure or Renko diagrams firmly identify them, equivalent to price range change. This kind of bar chart outline is an investigation of unadulterated price development, and time is not taken while plotting the price activity. Range bar development does not depend on time but instead relies on price development; thus, the x-axis of this kind of diagram is insignificant.

At the point when these bars are developed, the diagram’s reliance on the time scale (x-axis) has been uprooted as it creates its own price scale on the y-axis. This helps to evacuate gaps and create clear levels of support & resistance. Range bars additionally work with other pattern markers, most indicators. These are awesome for watching dynamic price action and are useful in recognizing support & resistance lines, buy/sell signals, and trendlines.

How To See Range Bar In Amibroker?

Initially, we need to specify the tick size of the scrip in Amibroker. To define the tick size of a scrip in AmiBroker follow the image below.

• Open Amibroker and Open the Charts in which you need to plot range bars
• Go to Symbol -> Information (Ami Version 5.50 and above)
• Go to Contract Specification and enter the tick size value as the lowest possible price movement. If the tick size value is not defined AmiBroker by default takes the value as 0.01. As in Nifty tick size should be 0.05 as the minimum price movement possible in Nifty is 0.05 points.
• Now set your favourite tick size by clicking Tools -> Preferences -> Intraday and put your needed tick size as shown below. After setting the tick size now you can change to range bars easily by right-clicking over the charts, then go to Intraday and select your needed charts.
