The Renko5 is not 5 ticks actually.

[Parameter("Primary Renko")]
public TimeFrame PrimaryRenkoBrickSizeTicks { get; set; }

...

 m_PrimaryBars = MarketData.GetBars(PrimaryRenkoBrickSizeTicks);

....

See the picture, please.

Could you explain why Close - Open != 5 ticks, please?

Hi koktos632,

The last bar is the bar currently displayed. Since it is not yet completed it will never be 5 pips.

Hi koktos632,

Backtesting is not supported for Renko bars at the moment.
