this is a snake stochastic (with drake delay slowing added to snake -> not in the original)
smoothing and slowing have different effects
158 dot code is smaller
great for pattern finding,

In mathematics, "slowing" and "smoothing" typically refer to different concepts, although there can be some overlap depending on the context.

- **Slowing**: This usually implies a reduction in the rate of change or the speed of a function or process. For instance, in calculus, if a function's derivative decreases over time, it's slowing down.

- **Smoothing**: This often involves removing noise or irregularities from a dataset or a function to reveal underlying trends or patterns. Smoothing techniques aim to create a more regular or predictable behavior. In statistics, smoothing techniques like moving averages or kernel smoothing are used to reduce random fluctuations in data.

While both slowing and smoothing can result in a more gradual or consistent behavior, they address different aspects of mathematical analysis. Slowing deals more with the rate of change, while smoothing focuses on the overall shape or pattern.

Here's a quick update of the Renko XARD basic that I posted earlier. I removed the semafor indicator because it's not useful on a smoothed chart. Renko bricks allowed me to place a pending buy order when the RSI(oma) began to tick blue (bricks always print at the same levels over time), and RSI(oma) seems to be the slowest indicator so it ultimately determines entries. After the trade executed, I placed a stop at the Magenta dots of the Support_and_Resistance indicator (below) from MQL5.com. It appears to be useful as a manual dynamic trailing stop. Use Lime dots as stops for shorts.

Again, the screenshot is a demo test. Actual live swaps on the Guppy (GBPJPY) are great for longs and nasty for shorts. If you catch a good run, the short swap can be beat. Spread is generally a bit high because Guppy volatility is stellar.

The Support_and_Resistance indicator is really just fractals extended forward until a new fractal of the same direction prints. Veteran forex warhorses will likely recognize it as "support_and_resitance_Barry" for MT4.

At least anecdotally/visually, the winners look like they will far outrun the losers.

By the way, this is not an intraday strategy. Current H4 ATR of the Guppy is likely about 76 pips or so, and these are 89 pip bricks so...

system look good?
Looks only 1:1

I'm afraid that my brain is basically an MT5 input device. I know nothing about Sierra Charts. It would have been nice if the vid poster had narrated.

Having said that, the software appears to be more of a highly configurable utility than an optimized trading algo. Once again, I tend to gravitate toward symbol-specific and tested algo's.

Feel free to call me an old soul because I don't deviate from traditional Renko bricks. I'm not really a fan of median Renko candles nor wicks/shadows on Renko stuff. In my opinion, it only recomplicates a simple brick that was intended to smooth in the first place.

Also... if were to use that software, I would strip a few things off the chart because I'm less-is-more me.

Maybe try to get a free demo from the poster?

Idk, the one in the video looks kinda trashy to me, think it needs better position management, probably like all these tradingview algos ,waste of money

May have caught a run on the Guppy in a demo test:
