Sign up for a free TradingView account:
- Visit tradingview.com and create an account.
- To use Renko charts—which are essential for
this strategy—you’ll need the Plus Plan, which
costs $30/month. However, if you sign up using a
valid credit card, you'll receive a 30-day free
trial. At the end of this trial, TradingView
typically offers a 50% discount, so you’ll only
pay $15/month moving forward.
Important: You must have TradingView with Renko enabled. You'll use Renko
charts for trade entries and exits as explained in the Stop Hunter's YouTube
videos.

Study Tip: Never Skip Words You Don’t Understand
When learning, especially from videos or articles, do not bypass unfamiliar
terms. If a word is unclear, look it up immediately then create 3 to 10 sample
sentences using that word mentally. This helps the meaning stick and prevents
repetitive lookup, which wastes valuable study time.
The Real Reason You Might Lose Interest in Trading
Losing motivation often has nothing to do with the subject being too hard—it
usually comes from a build-up of unfamiliar vocabulary. Here's how you might
feel during this process:
- Your mind starts to wander off while watching the
videos. You struggle to focus or absorb what’s being
said. You become agitated or physically restless.
- You experience mental blanks or brain fog.
Your eyes might burn or your face feels tense.
- You may even feel dizzy if you keep pushing through without addressing the
confusion.
