Description
The indicator should be attached to 1-minute charts for the best historical candle accuracy.
It is displayed as an overlay on the main chart so, you may want to change the chart properties to "line chart" and the "Bear Outline" color to black for better clarity of displayed bars.
The indicator is a very powerful tool, capable of creating many charting types, which are very popular among traders. With the proper settings, you can display the following charting types (to name but a few):
- Median Renko (Settings: Retracement factor = 0.5 , Symmetrical reversals = Yes)
- Standard Renko with wicks (Settings: Retracement factor = 1.00 , Symmetrical reversals = Yes)
- Turbo Renko (Settings: Retracement factor = 0.25 , Symmetrical reversals = Yes)
- Hybrid Renko (Settings: Retracement factor = 0.25 , Symmetrical reversals = No)
- PointO (Settings: Retracement factor = 1.00 , Symmetrical reversals = No)
All charting types display wicks and contain reference points (MedianRenko Open, Low, High, Close) for use by other indicators as well as cAlgo robots.

Update to version 1.10
I fixed the bug that caused the platform to close when the 14 day trial period ran out and also
added some chart synchronization options outlined below:
Reset Open on new trading day - This is an optional feature, which ensures daily (or session) reference consistency. This is used to reflect the true daily (or session) open, high, low and close values. To use this function, set this parameter to Yes. As a result in some cases, you will see a gap between the previous session’s close and open of the current one.
Apply offset to first renko bar & Tick offset value - These parameters enable (when Apply offset to first renko bar set to Yes) or disable (when Apply offset to first renko bar set to No) the normalization of the first renko bar’s opening price using the Tick offset value.
In practice, this pair of parameters is used to define the opening price of the first bar on the renko chart.
For example, if we have 10 pip renko bar and we set:
- Appy offset to first renko bar = Yes
- Tick offset value = 0
The renko chart will open at the 00 price level and consecutive bars will follow as presented below:
EURUSD 10 pip renko chart:
1st bar -> open 1.40100, close 1.40200
2nd bar -> open 1.40200, close 1.40300
3rd bar -> open 1.40300, close 1.40400
4th bar -> open 1.40500, close 1.40600
Hi, All you need to do to remove the indicator is to open cAlgo and delete the indicator or do this manually:
1) Open your Windows Documents folder and go into cAlgo/Sources/Indicators
2) Delete the MedianRenko folder and MedianRenko.algo file.
Hello
