Renko Trend Trader

Description

This algo was developed by ForexCove. We would like to highlight some of the interesting opportunities in trading Renko charts, by offering this FREE download from our development team.

The Renko Trend Trader trades on a Renko chart of your choice, making use of two moving averages for signal confirmation, along with an ADX filter to measure trend strength. Additionally, you can enable a multiple-trade functionality, which means that for every time a trade criteria is met, a new position is opened.

Additionnal question.

It seems a DMS specific indicator is used instead of classical DirectionnalMouvementSystem of cTrader.

Where this specific version could be found ?

Thanks !

Hello,

From my side when I try to compile the cBot I have this error :

"Error : Project C:\Users\Erwann\Documents\cAlgo\Sources\Indicators\Renko\Renko\Renko.csproj doesn't exist."

How can I solve this issue please ?

Regards,

I love the concept of having a Cbot for renko charts. I have a simple request, can you please add money management on it. Let's say I only want to risk 1% of my balance in every trade. And close the position if opposite signals appear.

 

Thanks.

I backtested this from Jan 2018 to Jan 2019 using 0.1 lots and the bot incurred more losses than wins.

Which of your paid cbots works best

I am trading with the exact same way, using renkos and ADX.

 

Can you guys shoot a quick tutorial video on how to use this cBot?
