brief description about renko charting and type of renko , why they invent renko ,why improve the regular renko to range renko
this lecture contains detail explanation about the strategy we want to code
describe how to download the history data then using 1 Minuit time frame to create renko
here we will use the first indicator to create the renko chart
delete all un used data from history center to refresh the terminal
how can we use the the renko to csv indicator to create the excel sheet then save it inside file folder
you will know how to import data from csv file to the mt4 history then saving these sheets for later use
you will learn using renko format indicator to change the nonstandard time frame from value to another also how to delete wicks
when you save the csv excel data sheet you can import it to any standard time frame for testing .. you know tester only accept standard time frames for testing so in renko we play around to fill the standard with nonstandard data so as to test
her we will use the regular renko indicator to create the chart this indicator available in ant mt4 terminal inside the lecture you will learn how to find it
here we will repeat the x steps fro regular renko create the chart , then export to excel then import to standard time frame
starting from this lecture you will be guided step by step to code the described strategy in lecture 2 here be advised to review the explanation lecture many time to understand what are we doing
all the send orders used by this strategy will depends on this counter it is simply integer variable increased by one each time anew bear box formed this increase will continue till a new bull box formed that will set ths counter to zero ... if this counter reach s a specific value the order will be send
here we will create a separated function to send BUY-STOP order we can call it any time any place in our program
point adjustment is a factor to multiply with to transform external controlled distances that is in pip value in to price level can be understood by mql4 compiler so
here we will use a ready code to calculate auto lot size , i will try to explain how to use it with this program and that because it is a math calculation equation we dont need to dive in
in this lecture you will learn how to move the buystop order down each time the price damping down.
the you will learn how to create a stoploss for the buy orders then how to make it fallow the the profits
you will learn how to count the buy stop orders by just copy a ready code from available expert in any mt4 then change it
her we will count buy orders that is activated from buystop by copy and past the buystop counting function then change it also we will transfer number of bears boxes to open order from internal control to external
here we will arrange the external variables in more advanced way and add limits for maximum allowed buy orders to be opened
here we will optimize all the eternal variables to get the best setting on renko regular
here we will use the strategy tester to optimize the expert on range renko
in this lecture we will start coding the bulls direction by opening sellstoporders each time there is more than 5 proceeding bulls boxes then trigger a trailing stop to fallow the profits
sell stop strategy start when there is proceeding 5 bulls boxes the start trailing stop to fallow the profits
in this lecture you will learn the correct way to move sellstop up then how to make the correct trailing stop
here we will fix some errors that is appeared in our code that we notice sellstop moved down far from price when the price going up
till now we complete the coding process we are ready for total optimization to find the best setting
we will repeat the process in renko range chart with different boxes size
external logic true or falls to control the type of orders to be opened or not ... here you will know how to do that
in this lecture you will find the necessary document to practice the course content
1- renko to csv indicator : this indicator will transform the renko chart data to excel sheet
2-renko range format : this indicator will create renko range bar chart
3-renko csv data 3 sheet ready made to be imported to your mt4
4- final code of the EA we coded in this course containing my telegram contact
5-regular renko creator already available in your mt4 but it is attached also
renkohadher.mq4 is the expert advisor of the course you may install inside expert folder of mt4
all these mq4 files are indicator you must install it inside indicator folder of your mt4 then restart your mt4 ...
Hello all my students and visitors
this is a complete course about RENKO charting . you will learn how to
prepare your mt4 for renko
how to find the right program to create renko
how use these programs
how to test renko on strategy tester
how to code the strategy using mq4 (MQL4 ) language
What is a Renko Chart?
A Renko chart is a type of chart, developed by the Japanese, that is built using price movement rather than both price and standardized time intervals like most charts are. It is thought to be named after the Japanese word for bricks, "renga," since the chart looks like a series of bricks. A new brick is created when the price moves a specified price amount, and each block is positioned at (up or down) to the prior brick. An up brick is typically colored white or green, while a down brick is typically colored black or red
Renko charts are designed to filter out minor price movements to make it easier for traders to focus on important trends. While this makes trends much easier to spot, the downside is that some price information is lost due to simple brick construction of Renko charts.
The first step in building a Renko chart is selecting a box size that represents the magnitude of price movement. For example, a currency may have a 50 pip box size. A Renko chart is then constructed by placing a brick in the next column once the price has surpassed the top or bottom of the previous brick by the box size amount.
Renko charts show a time axis, but the time intervals are not fixed. One brick to could take weeks to form, while several bricks may form within a day or minuets. This varies from candlestick or bar charts where a new candle/bar forms at specific time intervals.
Increasing or decreasing the box size will affect the "smoothness" of the chart. Decreasing the box size will create more swings, but will also highlight possible price reversals earlier. A larger box size will reduce the number of swings and noise but will be slower to signal a price reversal.
Renko charts are effective in identifying support and resistance levels since there is a lot less noise than a candlestick chart. When a strong trend forms, Renko traders may be able to ride that trend for a long time before even one brick in the opposite direction forms.
Trading signals are typically generated when the direction of the trend changes and the bricks alternate colors. For example, a trader might sell the asset when a red box appears after a series of climbing white boxes. Similarly, if the overall trend is up (lots of white/green boxes) a trader may enter a long position when a white brick occurs after one or two red boxes (a pullback).
