Volume for Renko/Range

Description

VolumeRenkoRange applies tick volume logic on non-time based charts.

Last Update -> 16/11/2022

Volume on Range/Renko/Candles

It's possible because we have the Open/Close Time of Bar, so:
Volume logic = Number of price updates (ticks) that come during the formation of a bar (between of OpenTime and CloseTime).

Update:
16/11/2022 - A little optimization.
23/08/2022 - Redundant code removed from "Custom Load From" which generated error in previous version of cTrader (v4.0 or 4.1), the functionality still works.
22/08/2022 - Added dynamic 'Load From', removed redundates parameters, and now the messages disappear after the calculaton is finished
03/08/2022 - Code cleanup.
27/07/2022 - Downgrade from .NET 6.0  to .NET 4.x, for the .algo installation to work on previous versions of cTrader.

===== Parameters =====

  • Load From: {Today, Yesterday, 1 Week, 2 Week, Monthly}
  • Custom (dd/mm/yyyy): Custom Date if Load From(Custom)

Load From is the Date to load Previous Historical Ticks Data, all data will be stored in memory and will be used in any Renko timeframe selected in the chosen Symbol.
if Custom (dd/mm/yyyy) runs with wrong value, it will use the existing data available in the chart..
The initial size allocated in memory will depend on how far from the current date "Load From or Custom" was set, as well as the past number of ticks updates, of couse.

                      Volume for Renko/Range
VolumeRenkoRange applies tick volume logic on non-time based charts.

It's possible because we have the Open/Close Time of Bar, so:
Volume logic = Number of price updates (ticks) that come during the formation of a bar (between of OpenTime and CloseTime).

Uses Ticks Data to make the calculation of volume, just like Candles.

For Better Performance, Recompile it on cTrader with .NET 6.0 instead .NET 4.x.

How Would i reference in a cbot, for last bar bull or bears above 1000

        private VolumeRenkoRange _vrr;
 

            _vrr = Indicators.GetIndicator<VolumeRenkoRange>(?, ?);


                var VolumeUP = _vrr.BullVolume.Last(1) > 1000;
                var VolumeDOWN = _vrr.BearVolume.Last(1) > 1000;

@mztd006 A crazy tool!! I really liked what I saw, thanks for letting me know about it.
Now, about bringing it to cTrader, it might take a while to make it polished, BUT special attention will be given to this script.

if you could bring Renko with Volume and Time in the box  to ctrader it would be great tool

@dawid.pielak Now it should work, download the updated file.

Thanks for the feedback, I really had forgotten that the versions available in the brokers are versions prior to the implementation of .NET 6.0 in Ctrader.
