Advanced Trend Lines + Renko Boxes Forex Strategy for MT4

This strategy combines price structure and market clarity by using the Advanced Trend Lines Forex Indicator alongside the Renko Boxes Forex Indicator.

The system is built for traders who want to eliminate noise, focus on structure, and execute trades based on trendline breaks and clean momentum.

It works well for intraday and swing trading on M15 to H4 timeframes, especially when the market forms strong trending moves or clear breakout zones.

What Is This Strategy About?

The Advanced Trend Lines Indicator automatically detects and draws key diagonal support and resistance levels (trend lines) based on price action.

These lines help traders identify breakout or bounce zones without manually drawing lines.

The Renko Boxes Indicator transforms the chart into a series of fixed-price blocks, filtering out time and focusing only on movement.

By combining trendline logic with Renko clarity, traders can enter cleaner setups with reduced market noise and stronger confirmation.

Buy Rules

Conditions:

  • A downward trendline is broken to the upside (as drawn by the Advanced Trend Lines Indicator).
  • The Renko Boxes turn green, showing a clean upward move without whipsaws.

Entry:

Open a buy trade when a valid trendline breakout occurs to the upside and is followed by two or more green Renko boxes confirming bullish momentum.

Stop Loss:

Place the stop loss just below the broken trendline or the most recent swing low as seen on the Renko chart.

Take Profit:

Use a fixed risk-reward ratio of 1:2 or 1:3, or exit the trade when Renko boxes switch to red or price hits the next visible resistance trendline.

Sell Rules

Conditions:

  • An upward trendline is broken to the downside by the price.
  • The Renko Boxes turn red, confirming bearish momentum.

Entry:

Enter a sell trade once a downward breakout from a trendline occurs, and at least two red Renko boxes confirm the start of a downtrend.

Stop Loss:

Set your stop loss above the broken trendline or above the most recent swing high on the Renko chart.

Take Profit:

Target a 2:1 reward-to-risk ratio or close the position once the Renko color changes or price hits a support trendline.

Advantages

  • Removes chart noise by using Renko-based price filtering.
  • Automated trendlines save time and prevent subjective drawing errors.
  • Perfect for breakout traders who want clean confirmation.
  • Helps avoid false breakouts through Renko-based momentum confirmation.

Drawbacks

  • Renko charts may repaint during live market conditions depending on box settings.
  • Delayed signals in fast markets may miss early reversals.
  • Not suitable for scalping or extremely short timeframes.

Conclusion

The Advanced Trend Lines + Renko Boxes Strategy is a visual, clean, and disciplined system built for traders who want to combine structural breakouts with filtered momentum.

The Advanced Trend Lines Indicator identifies breakout zones automatically, while the Renko Boxes Indicator confirms trend strength without time-based distractions.
