Talk about forex system, its been a while for me to update this blog after struggle with real time in real world in reality, i suppose i become stuck in normal ways to live and wipe out my last important things and that was 'trader'. I never share this things before and i think hardcore trader out there already know this, especially for the lurker forum. It was range bar, this is not forex system or trading system forex like you already know. Its just helpful guidance or additional indicator that change conventional bar into range type bar, in other ways you can customize bar in any range you want, ex. every bar only 5 pips range, and every time 5 pip range meets it will made another bar and so on. Deep more about range bar or just skip it if you're in rush...

Calculating Range Bars


Show Spoiler

Range bars take only price into consideration; therefore, each bar represents a specified movement of price. Traders and investors may be familiar with viewing bar charts based on time; for instance, a 30-minute chart where one bar shows the price activity for each 30-minute time period. Time-based charts, such as the 30-minute chart in this example, will always print the same number of bars during each trading session, regardless of volatility, volume or any other factor. Range Bars, on the other hand, can have any number of bars printing during a trading session: during times of higher volatility, more bars will print; conversely, during periods of lower volatility, fewer bars will print. The number of range bars created during a trading session will also depend on the instrument being charted and the specified price movement of the range bar.

Three rules of range bars:

• Each range bar must have a high/low range that equals the specified range.
• Each range bar must open outside the high/low range of the previous bar.
• Each range bar must close at either its high or its low.
