Lou,

Can you repalce all "if(hwnd != 0) PostMessageA(hwnd, WM_COMMAND, 0x822c, 0);" with
"if(hwnd != 0) if(PostMessageA(hwnd, WM_COMMAND, 0x822c, 0) == 0) hwnd = 0;" in the version you posted? So we handel the case if someone close the chart, but not the script, more gracefuly. (I don't wan't to polute this tread with more files)

No matter if your version solvs the problem or not, it's a corection that shuold have been like that from v1.1.

Your point is well-taken - LV and I have been trying to keep it coordinated and I think we've done okay, by and large. The latest version (v1.6) should be the final one unless something really catastrophic is discovered - I've been running it on demo for several days and have not seen any errors.

this is a true gift to experienced traders. I have been using constant range bars and these beat the pants off of that script. Nothing shows the existence of a trend better than renko, I am a convert. Thanks to both posters with their efforts.

settings on my chart are 20. Happy pips to all.

Please explain the settings and indicators used to produce the above chart/ Thanks

I agree that leave the wicks out of Renko, if really want see the wick, look for candlestick. I like the plain old Renko block, basic is enough for me.

Maybe LV or Lou can take out the "wick" & let user choose to add in or just using Basic Renko block, well, just a suggestion.

This is really cool program, way to go...

Hey ...which version are u using....?
and what box size?

Kindly restart and Start the Script installation procedure from start and then see ...do they still form same wicks?
IF so... Feels like another problem came up with new version...!
i m still using the old version...going fine!

I'm using Box size 15, latest version 1.6, anyway, restart before & even delete the old offline files, still had this little "wick" appear.

Actually, had this problem since v1.4, I thought that it was a "wick" request added in.

Maybe is the box size that cause the "wick"??

If Box size is 15 and You are using a 5 digit broker..
Then give some time to your CPU to breathe!
May be then Wicks can come..i dont know...still they should not be.
Try Increasing to some 50 (5pips for a 5 digit broker)

Else Try 1.3 version from afresh! on Same chart...then Update!
if problem goes away..then something wrong with latest versions!

Check!

hey Lou G,

been testing v1.6 today & it seems to be good but I need a faster moving market to be sure, GBPUSD a bit lethargic today.

One problem that I have come across is the handling of non standard charts naming i.e m. So I blotted out:

//string SymbolName = StringSubstr(Symbol(), 0, 6);

& replaced with

(Symbol().

It is working perfectly now, but I am stumbling around in the dark when it comes to code.

I wonder if anyone else is having a problem. You will only notice when you come to trade. The non m chart will open & update but you cannot trade from it because of the difference in accounts.

Pretty much just change the BoxSize variable. It determines the size of the Renko Brick.

You can use the link from the first post to get the latest version of the indicator, or scan though the thread to get any version you want to try.

Check out investopedia

http://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/renkochart.asp

Use google to search for "Renko" or "Renko Bricks" or "Renko Blocks" or "Renko Charts"

There are a lot of tips out there on how to trade using them.

Good Luck ...

This method for calculating the input for BoxSize is only used when your broker uses 5 digit pricing.

From the chart you posted it looks like your broker uses "Fractional pips" or "Pippettes" (5 digit broker, 5 places after decimal on instruments like EUR/USD and 3 decimal places on instruments like GBP/JPY) there are a lot of terms for it.

If your BoxSize is set at 15 on you GBP/JPY script(EA) that is really 1.5 pips. Try setting it to 150 for 15 pip blocks. Basically you would have to do that for any Instrument (multiply the number of pips you want by 10 and use that number for BoxSize).

Hi all - I, too, am a programmer and have been working on a variety of EAs lately. I wanted to say thanks for such a great program....I recently found Renko and the EA alarms were just screaming in my head when I saw it. So happy that I don't have to start from scratch!

Anyway, I have read the entire thread, and am using a 4 digit broker, so if anyone has any newbie suggestions for block sizes, etc, I am all ears
