How can I get the pip-size for bricks on a Renko chart?
How can I get the pip-size for bricks on a Renko chart?
10 Jul 2020, 12:45
Does anybody know if there is an API which can tell me the brick size (in pips) for a renko chart?
To clarify, when I set my chart to renko (on the top chart-type selector), I'd like to retrieve the value set for pip size programatically.
Thank you for any hints :-)

Hi rgasch,
Just get one of the previous bricks and check the difference in pips between the open and close prices e.g.
var size = Math.Abs(Bars.ClosePrices.Last(1) - Bars.OpenPrices.Last(1)) / Symbol.PipSize;Best Regards,

RE:
The formula/code you provided makes perfect sense, but for some reason I have a USDCAD chart (renko size = 5 pips) where this returns "10" as a result. Any ideas what could be causing this?
Thank you in advance

Hi rgasch,
It works fine for me. Can you provide some more information e.g. the code you are using, screenshots etc?
