Renko Range

Description

 

The Renko Range indicator fetches the high-low watermarks of each renko bar.

It's calculated using the values of the M1 bars between the open and close times of the renko bar, and so you will see odd results on volatile pairs who complete renko bars in under 1 minute.

The "Load to date" parameter is in the form DD/MM/YYYY and allows you to load more M1 bars to extend how far back the high-low dots load without scrolling backwards along your chart.

The "Draw as wicks?" option means that the indicator will fill in the gaps with chart trend lines like proper wicks.

The "Cut odd points?" option automatically sets the (high / low) of a completed (up / down) renko bar as the (top / bottom) of the bar respectively.
