Hello guys, I have a problem with strategy testr and renko, I use this manual to play renko bars on tester :
1. go to the c
rogram FilesMetatraderhistory folder. You should see subfolders with
trading servers feeds.
2. make a new subfolder with the name RENKO (or a name of your choice).
3. go to one of your trading servers folders (folder should be in historyxxxx_server) and copy the following files into history/RENKO folder:
- symbols.raw
- symbols.sel
- symgroups.raw
- ticks.raw
- 1 min data, e.g. EURUSD1.hst, GBPUSD1.hst, USDCHF1.hst, etc.
4. start Metatrader and manually log in into account but write RENKO in the server field (of course there will be no connection).
5. restart Metatrader to clean its preloaded data (you should see "Waiting for update" on all charts except 1 min).
6. drop Renko script on 1 min chart but now select a standard TimeFrame to generate, for example "5" for M5 timeframe.
7. Now you can backtest using M5 as the timeframe.
And use renko script 1.6 from this forum. But in tester renko dont show wicks, I have metod every tick but I dont see if market hit my SL, It show only complete renko
Do you know what I can show wicks ?
Second problem is that if I try some EA on tester, on statesment it shows many Mismatched charts errors : 27552 it is normal for renko bars in tester ?
And last problem is : I have data from 1999 but script show me only 15 monts from 1999 and I would prefer if it show me few last years or all history :-/
Thx for any reply or help
