WRB
Analysis
Introduction
M.A. Perry (that's me) begin developing this type of price action analysis of the markets in the early 1980's and begin trading one strategy derived from WRB Analysis in the late 1980's.
Thus, I concentrated on understanding the price action (trends, range, chop et cetera) for many years prior to developing my first strategy with rules from entry to exit...prior to my very first trade.
Further, in the 1980's when I first started studying the markets (no trading at this time for many years)...I came upon the price action of a WRB accidentally when a hand drawn chart I was preparing for a floor trader was missing one interval.
That missing interval was a wide range body in comparison to prior intervals and I noticed how that missing interval had impact on a few swing points later on the hand drawn chart.
I immediately began studying other charts of different markets and started seeing other similar like price actions to prompt my initial curiosity into what I would later call WRB Analysis.
Yet, I initially called them Wide Range Bars until I had access to candlestick charting software in the early 90's. The traverse from bar charts to candlestick charts changed my definition of WRB's to Wide Range Bodies especially when I became more of a price action only trader along with becoming more aware of changes in supply/demand via changes in volatility.
Today, many of my clients and I are using +17 different strategies for different types of market conditions...all via WRB Analysis.
Further, I have other clients that use my WRB Analysis to improve the performance of their own strategies and a general list of these types of strategies are discussed further below.
What exactly is WRB Analysis
WRB Analysis is a method that helps traders to understand and exploit changes in volatility.
It identifies changes in supply/demand that's occurring between buyers and sellers along with providing a map for exploiting the price action from swing point to swing point regardless if your a day trader, swing trader or position trader.
The word WRB means wide range body and there are different types of WRBs based upon volatility analysis, gap analysis or support/resistance analysis.
A wide range body is an interval that has a body (difference between Open and Close) with a price area larger than the bodies of each of the prior three intervals.
You can use any number greater than the above three intervals as long as its not less than three due to the behavior of volatility analysis because its too difficult to analyze the volatility via less than two intervals regardless if the intervals are based upon time, volume or tick.
Further, don't mix the definitions of a Wide Range Body with a Wide Range Bar even though both are called WRBs.
The Wide Range Bar is a term associated with Bar charts and represents the price area between the High and Low.
In contrast, Wide Range Body is a term associated with Candlestick charts and represents the price area between the Close and Open.
Therefore, base upon the above definitions, I obviously have a preference for candlestick charts even though WRB Analysis can be performed on bar charts, volume based chart or tick charts.
In fact, about 25% of our clients use bar charts instead of candlestick charts.
