Finally!

Hi,

That's great news!

I would appreciate it, if you could answer some questions regarding Renko:

- Are different Renko types supported (various settings for inversion and extension; option to show wicks)?
- Which type of aggregation is used (Ticks and time-based periods)?
- Is volume still supported (brick aggregated bid/ask volume; also from the API)?
- Is this type also backed up by the API?
- Will it be released this year?

Thank you very much!

Additional questions

- How are price gaps handled (different brick optic; filling bricks; showing the gap)?
- How are the bricks built (from current price backward; from the first historical bar to the current price)?
- Will the bricks be refreshed/redrawn, once more historical data will be streamed?

Dear BeardPower,

Please find below the answers to your questions

Are different Renko types supported (various settings for inversion and extension; option to show wicks)?
Other Renko chart types are not supported yet. Also, it won't have any configurable options except of changing brick size which is a list of predefined values.

Which type of aggregation is used (Ticks and time-based periods)?
Renko chart uses the tick aggregation type.

Is volume still supported (brick aggregated bid/ask volume; also from the API)?
Can you please elaborate on what do you mean when you say volume? Ticks will be aggregated by bid side only.

Is this type also backed up by the API?
API doesn't support Renko chart so far, but we have plans to do this.

Will it be released this year?
We cannot commit to an ETA but as you see the feature already exists in development builds so it should be out anytime soon.

 How are price gaps handled (different brick optic; filling bricks; showing the gap)?
Price gaps are going to be handle by filling bricks.

How are the bricks built (from current price backward; from the first historical bar to the current price)?
Renko bricks are being built from current price backward. Renko chart uses pre-aggregated tick data, so any time you open the chart it will have the same picture.

Will the bricks be refreshed/redrawn, once more historical data will be streamed?
Renko won't be refreshed or redrawn after new market data comes.

Best Regards.

Thanks a lot for the details!

Sure. I'm referring to Tick Volume, which is aggregating Bid and Ask movements: Ask and Bid move up -> Buy Volume. Ask and Bid move down -> Sell Volume.
It's not exact, as there would be individual cases like Ask not moving with the Bid and vice versa, or both moving in different directions.

I was just wanted to know, if there is some aggregation at all, and aggregation by the bid side is also okay.

After I read that post, I thought you would not provide aggregated Tick Volume at all:

A Renko chart is a type of chart that is only concerned with price movement; time and volume are not included.

Surely after the insertion of renko graphics on the ctrader platform, more new traders will come to the ctrader.

Candle charts and study tools all platforms have, other types of chart beyond normal as the renko will be a differential, sought by many people.

I hopefully insert the renko graphics so that me and my friends migrate to ctrader.

Hi, will it include also Range Bars?

When is it due?

Thanks

Will it be releases this year?

Hi,

I understand, that you can't give an ETA, but could you at least tell, if this feature (among the other ones) will be released this month or at least this year?

Thank you!

Hi BeardPower,

We cannot give an ETA because this feature will be shipped alongside with many others, as a part of a major upcoming upgrade of cTrader. There are many dependencies and underlying complexity, due to the scale of the release, that does not allow us to give an expected date. However we are pushing hard to release it within this year. I hope that my reply answers your question at least partially!

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

RE:

Sorry  Panagiotis Charalampous ,I must reply here about the calgo'wrong.

​it look like the indicator file don't excecute the  else  function. the debugger sometimes is find the ""hidebysig​" attribute in function.

  public class Lk : Indicator
    {
        [Parameter(DefaultValue = 0.0)]
        public double Parameter { get; set; }
        public List<BarInfo> BarInfos;
        [Output("Main")]
        public IndicatorDataSeries Result { get; set; }

        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            BarInfos = new List<BarInfo>();
            // Initialize and create nested indicators
        }
        public override void Calculate(int index)
        {
            CulBarInfo(index, MarketSeries, BarInfos);
            Print(BarInfos.Count);
        }

        public  void CulBarInfo(int index, MarketSeries marketSeries, List<BarInfo> barInfos)
        {
            BarInfo bar = barInfos.FindLast(x => x.Trend != BarTrend.Null);
            if (bar.Index == 0)
            {
                bar = barInfos.Last();
            }
            #region MyRegion
            if (marketSeries.High[index] > bar.High && marketSeries.Low[index] > bar.Low)
            {
///......
            }
            #endregion

        }


    }

while the functions "Calculate" execute function "CulBarInfo",the error has happend. what wrong??

Hi Panagiotis Charalampous, Spotware thought about letting the user create his own display? I mean, for example, UniRenko.
It will be much faster if you let us change the time of the bars and... well, that would be it. The recent update of several tick charts(which is awesome) proves that you can. It would be nice that users can do the same.

Enjoy your weekend.

RE:

We need Renko chart, all you have is Renko indicators, not type of chart so price doesn't follow it is useless, please can you add Renko as a type of chart that price follows it like bars, candles, line etc.

Soon Renko charts will be introduced in cTrader. A Renko chart is a type of chart that is only concerned with price movement; time and volume are not included.

Hi there, How do renko charts on cTrader work?

Im just trying to figure out, if once price moves x amount of pips in a direction it creates a new bar? Or Does it need to move a specific distance passed a certain point on the previous price bar?

Because I thought price just had to match it.. not go any distance beyond in order for a new bar to be created

Hi Matt,

I am not sure I understood the question but the way renko bars work is pretty standard. Bullish bars are created when price moves x pips above the previous high and bearish bars when price moves x pips below previous low.
