{quote} Thank you for continually working on these EA's - it's so appreciated. I've been using an older version and last night I took a look at the latest 1.67 version. I've noticed the renko bar times now refer to when the bars closed. My older version shows the time as the bar OPEN time. Was this changed for a reason? It'd be great to be able to choose opened or closed time as my strategy works with time parameters.

{quote} Version 1.67 released (I updated the download section in Post 1). In this version I fixed a bug that caused incorrect chart creation when settings both "Show price jumps?" to "Yes" and "Choose Renko Type" to "Rail to Rail". Thanks to @forexaz for reporting this bug! {image} {image}

{quote} Hi MathTrader7 I dont know if someone reported this previously but I noticed that sometimes I need to reapply the EA to get the renko chart updated and adjusted because it generates extra bars than after manual update this bars dissapear. It happens with Rail to Rail option (I dont remember to see something similar with the previous non-gap EA). Also, as suggestion, is there any way you let us decide the tpl name to be applied into the renko chart when opened? It would be a great option if possible. Thanks for this incredible EA.

Hi Matt, I think the 'Max lookup bars' option is great - I used it today to greatly reduce the time to look back at some recent data. This got me thinking, if using live does it matter or not if I have lots of M1 bars of history dating back to 2018? i.e. is it recommended to use the max lookup bars to save on CPU resource? I'm not sure how it works in terms of rendering the renko bars and whether or not the EA has to constantly refer back through all of the historic bars, hence the question! Many thanks Darrel

Hi Matt, I hope you are well. I'm having a slight problem with the alert on version 1.67. having not had an alert for ages suddenly now I have it it has become very useful! I have the EA set to 100 points non - gap (no wicks) with the alert set to reversals and pop up window, it was working but today it has stooped. I've reloaded the EA but still no alert, any ideas? It's not a major problem, I've lived without it for a long time! Best wishes, Dave

{quote} Hi darrelf, The history Renko bars are required by indicators (and probably Renko trading EAs) when they want to do some calculations such as Moving Average. It is also needed for those who want to manually back-test their strategies. If you do not use any indicator, nor want to do a back-test and neither your trading decisions depends on what happened prior to the current time, you can definitely use no Renko history at all. P.S. Renko history will be generated once at the beginning of the script, so it is not that much CPU hungry! ...

{quote} Hi Dave! It is kind of strange! I will look at it closely today to see what happens when I turn on the alerts (I usually do not use the alerts). Edit: Which symbol you are attaching the EA to? Best, Matt

{quote} Hi Matt, only two symbols, GER30 and GBPUSD. It was working fine on both, I've been through the MT4 settings and checked but I haven't touched any MT4 settings for a long time, and the speakers are on! Best wishes, Dave

{quote} Hi Matt, that is exactly how it was working for me, the only difference is I am not showing the price jumps. I'll try it on my demo MT4 account. Cheers, Dave
