I've been interested in Renko candlesticks for a long time (over 5 years). It's a shame they aren't available in all terminals (especially MT4/5)... But a resourceful mind always finds a way
Below I'll write about my experience with Renko candlesticks.
For me, trading is more of a hobby than a full-time professional activity. So, I'm looking for like-minded people to join my channel.

Divergences work better and cleaner on Renko candlesticks than on regular candlesticks. I tried using digital filters for this before. It was interesting, but far from ideal.

Recent tests have shown that Renko and RSI oscillator divergences are better than many other options... A very accurate signal with a probability of 80-90% (if you are not greedy and do not take many candles in TP 1-4 candles)

Since testing Renko candles in the tester is possible but very difficult, I displayed some of the information on the indicator screen.

As initial testing has shown... with a TP/SL ratio of 1/3, the percentage of positive trades is very high - 80-90%. At 4/1, the percentage is lower... 50-60%, but the profitability is higher.

As I wrote above, the indicator implements pseudo backtesting.

There are two development paths:
- either test and develop this idea using Renko candlesticks drawn by a separate advisor (more visual and informative)
- or switch to pseudo-Renko candlesticks (which are drawn on regular candlesticks)
This method, although not visual, will allow you to easily test your strategy in the MT4/MT5 tester.

Hi. In MT5, it's https://www.mql5.com/en/market/produ...tility+Search#
And for MT4, four years ago, I received a custom order for a Renko candlestick generator based on my specifications.

The point isn't drawing Renko candlesticks. There are plenty of those online... The point is in interesting divergences with the RSI. And in the indicator written for this purpose.

I have a shed load of divergence indicators and none come close to being anywhere near 100% accuracy.

Nothing gives you 100% certainty, but RSI has the most interesting divergences (for me). The key here is the Renko candlesticks.
