As far as you closed day in gain...

You should use red and blue (short & long) arrows to mark your trades btw, because I always wonder if you're so good trader or you have so big deposit .
Sorry guys, I really need some help! I've tried solving it for two weeks but still can't. Hope any kind souls can help me pleaseeee...

1. My Renko Heikin chart is different from Jaquemate's
I've tried my best to follow closely to the setup instruction (tips from others as well) and got the Renko offline chart set up! Renko brick chart seems fine no issue. However, the problem comes when I applied the Heikin Ashi indicators in MT4 by clicking on the Indicator toolbar button: Custom > Heikin Ashi. The chart looks kinda different from Jaquemate's one. Mine has an overlapping of black and white candles information on some of the candles (confusing data). How do I correct this information and make it to be the same as Jaquemate? Appreciate it if anyone could guide me or point me to the right direction.

Attached picture for better clarity:
Pic 1: Renko brick chart. Looks fine.
Pic 2: After I applied the Heikin Ashi indicator on the Renko brick chart, there are overlapping candles info
Pic 3: Sample of Jaquemate's Renko Heikin Ashi chart


2. MT4 seems to hang or stay frozen during the London or US opening hours
I'm not sure if I have opened too many Renko offline charts (5 in total), but I can't work with the charts. It stays frozen but periodically I can work with it at ease. This is really upsetting because just when the market opens, I can't trade or analyse the chart due to MT4 freezing. This is a demo account, would opening a Live account helps? I really love Renko Heikin Ashi charts, is there a way to overcome this?

I believe that the overlap occurs because you are still displaying regular candles under the heiken ashi. You can fix this simply by clicking the barchart button on your mt4. If not satisfied, you can click line chart..then right click on your chart and set the line color to none.
Best, Josh

Edit. 2 - didn't see. Your mt4 might freeze due to several reasons. Make sure you are basing your chart on a 1 minute regular chart. It is also possible that the broker data feed is interrupted, or delayed. Check and see when it freezes if the regular chart is updated. If that doesn't help, i suggest you try another renko builder.

Omg it works and you're brilliant! I have changed it to line chart, big thanks!

For the freezing MT4, I'm not sure if it's the interrupted broker data or the renko builder that is causing the problem. I'm using v3.4 (from Jaquamate) though. I saw a Renko v4.13 (https://www.mql5.com/en/code/11739) but my concern is whether if the settings are the same :3

personally can not see the point of HA Bars with Renko Bars as technically they are doing the same thing, but some people prefer the look.
Either Change your Renko Candles to Bars and ensure that CHARTS/FOREGROUND CHART is unchecked
or alternatively CHART PROPERTIES/ F8 set your Bar colors to none this will hide your Renko Bars completely and just leave your HAs.
Then I would suggest that you google Heiken Ashi and learn how they work and what they are doing because what you are querying is HA Doji bars that are completely normal.

EDIT: Joshua beat me to it.
Use a more recent Renko Generator the thread started in Nov 2014, many of the indicators from then do not work properly because of the many updates to MT4 since then. Try the STG Renko Generator it is about as up to date as you will get. The freezing is probably due to the Generator you are using (V3.4) people were having problems with it even back then.
Equally, I would not use the MT4 HA indicator there are even now, errors in the coding always have been, use one of the ones in the attachment section. 1min Clives Heiken Ashi is well coded and doesn't conflict with anything you can find it on Page 18 of the attachments.

Nice, I have just looked into the STG Renko Generator as suggested and have found the thread. Glad you highlighted to me to use the 1min Clives HA as well! I'm so gonna ditch MT4 HA, LOL.

Thank you so much dee50, your input is really invaluable to me. I'm still trying to learn and absorb as much as I can and am only at page 11. Actually, I'm afraid of reading so much but end up having no one to ask. Really nice to have you guys here and hope I learn fast.

Here it is, see if its useful to you. I have decided to make some changes to MACD, 7 10 5 is a bit too sharp and throws me off. I stumbled upon this on in my indi library. Best, Josh

Ger 30 +42. Managed to get a trade in today. I am looking at the larger chart and what I am seeing is a potential 123 double down. The target would be 161/200 area but I only went for 127. I have made some changes to my chart, imported emas from the 4h chart and changed macd setting. I am considering removing macd altogether. It might look like chart porno now, but we will see. I cant manage 7 10 5 settings, they mess me up more than they help. Anyway, looked at the market profile as well. I am not sure if i have it correctly, but i do see singles...
Hi Joshua,
please, which is the indicator that you have imported to watch EMAs of H4 or H1 on a Renko chart?

Thank you!!!

Thats why I mark them whit vertical line with direction color.

The arrows come from an indicator. I cannot manipulate.
Hi all,

I was expecting a 1-2-3 movement close to the red trend line broken up by price, but it went directly till the 38% fibo retracement. There, a previous regular divergence.
At this kind of cases, did you enter only with the red trend line broken?

May be other possible buy entry could it be if price breaks hidden divergence (cyan trend line).
