Trade futures using Renko and time charts on NinjaTrader
Using renko charts in combination with time-based charts is a terrific way to trade futures. This blends the advantages of a time-based chart and the application of the volume price analysis methodology with using a non time-based chart such as renko which not only reveals momentum but also smoothes the price action. Finally, using them in multiple timeframes makes this approach even more powerful.
