Renko Block Charts

is anybody there who gives me demo live MCX charts (like copper, crude oil, silver and gold etc.) on Metatrader 4 platform???????

please reply me i m waiting..............

thanks

hello,
many believe EA don't work in renko no timeframe offline charts.
my question is if EA don't work in renko charts then You could have a script attached to the renko chart that writes signals to a file. the EA, attached to an online chart, would read those signals from the file and act accordingly.
is it possible ?
please reply
thank you

I was looking for this. Thanks to OP

Hi all, I have a doubt in using Renko charts on XAUUSD (Alpari).

I usually trade on currency pairs with 10 bricks charts.
I use Renko Live Chart version 3.2.

I don't understand the brick size I have to use to obtain the same movement I have on the currencies.

The minimum tick is 0.05. To obtain 10 steps I would have to use 50 brick size, but I'm not sure.

In other words, 0.05 tick is the equivalent to a pip movement on the currencies?

Thank you! I am a bit confused.

hi there
you can try "fxcentral" india they provide mcx live data on mt4 by paying monthly subscription fees but for viewing purpose only.
For live as well as demo trading of mcx instruments on mt4 I can recommend you a Russian broker name "Brocompany"
but their mt4 account is market maker & mcx data is little bit slow too.

tradefort has silver and gold spot xauusd is gold axagusd I think is silver.
but double check cause I don't look at thoes.

Hi guys!

do you know what kind of renko is this?

looks like a renko without wicks and with an indicator like "close above channel=green; close below channel=red; close in channel=blue"

These are not the same indicators as in my screen. Anyway thanks!

Thank you all.

Hi all,

I use RLC v3.2 and generate renko HST files for boxsize 5 , 10 , 20 ,... pips with satisfaction. Thanks LastViking and Lou G for bright code.

In the same time as HST files are generating I read them by ArrayCopyRates() in regular indi and EAs working in regular TF (M5 , M15 , H1 ...)

The problem arise if HST file stop refreshing from any reason. This problem force me extend ver 3.2 and code new features in MTF_RenkoLiveChart_v1.0 with
preservation all perfect characteristic of RLC v3.2

Short description of MTF_RLC v1.0 :

Expanded for more Renko TF and more offline charts for each of them and communication with your own indicators/EAs by global variables
The code is derived and refined from original Okt 13 2009 (LV) (v3.2)

Main code is separated from start() to one_start()
The original functionality is preserved
All names of the variable are saved using #define by similar name in the arrays[][]
If RenkoTimeFrame_1 = 0 start numbering Renko TF from 16
If any RenkoBoxSize is 0 init() doesn't check more RenkoBoxSize
Each Renko TF refreshes more than 1st offline chart (refreshses all of them)
Information about opened offline chart by Comment
The code is prepared for extend to 5 Renko TF
Coded modular for easy expanding more than 5 Renko TF by _dim_renko
The externs RenkoBoxOffset and EmulateOnLineChart are common for all charts (optional)
Common externs are prepared to change to regular externs (for each Renko one extern)
Idea of the code for multiple refresh is separated and recoded from v1.9 P4L PeriodCon.mq4 by pips4life of ForexFactory.com
SendTick = true will simulate an incoming tick so you can create offline charts when the market is closed

If no offline chart is opened for renko TF the function ArrayCopyRates() don't work properly (any refresh) : MT4 behaviour
So if use ArrayCopyRates() to get the array rates[][] of Renko TF in regular TF, MIN ONE OFFLINE RENKO CHART HAVE TO BE OPEN FOR SELECTED RENKO TF
The information about opened offline charts (refreshed) are written on the chart and
set as global variable with the name "MTF_RLC_" + SymbolName + "_" + RenkoTimeFrame whith the contents :
1 : mean offline chart is refreshing
0 : mean offline chart is not refreshing
Your own indicator can check validity of actual data in HST by global variable before uses ArrayCopyRates()
Check globals with F3 to see how it works

Next advantage of MTF version over original is that all Renko offline TF get refresh by the same tick from broker (one run MTF_RLC) and is prepared for reading HST
by MQL ArrayCopyRates()
The speed and consumtion of CPU is better than multiple run RLC v3.2
Inform me please about significant inevitable changes in the code or bugs.
I use HST output of MTF_RenkoLiveChart in my own indicators working in the regular online TF for natural S/R levels.

HST read by : if (glob_RenkoTimeFrame == 1.0) ArrayCopyRates(rates, NULL, RenkoTimeFrame).
Thanks.

I hope it can help anybody else.

Hi all,

I coded small testing indi for own developing purpose to see how renko looks inside....

Try it and you will see where is the price and where are the renko boxes.

Renko boxes are generated by EA MTF_RenkoLiveChart_v1.0 with externs 5 , 20. The others are default.


There are two instances of Show_Renko on the chart with the externs :

16 , 2000 , true
17 , 1000 , false

Put both Show_Renko on M5 chart as is on the pict and you can switch the others TF

Is there a "Renko"-indi or "Renko"-Script that works online with the normal MT4-Timeframes (like 5,15,30,etc.) ?
Thanks for an Info.
Greetings Zack

Hi Zack,

it's no difference between renko indi and "normal" indi / script. Every indi reads from the HST. If you code price = Close[i] , you read from actual "normal" TF, where you switch. That way is easy and frequently used. If you code like
if (glob_RenkoTimeFrame == 1.0) ArrayCopyRates(rates, NULL, RenkoTimeFrame)
and next price = rates[i][4] than you read from HST RenkoTimeFrame Close[i]. You can use the same indi in each TF - normal or renko.

Try Show_Renko and you will see what I wrote.

Here is the code for it :

bool init_offline_rates(double& d[][], string glob, int TF)
{
if (GlobalVariableGet(glob) == 0) return(false);
GetLastError();
int err, n = 8;
ArrayCopyRates(d, Symbol(), TF);
err = GetLastError();
while (err != 0 && n > 0) {
Sleep(1000);
ArrayCopyRates(d, Symbol(), TF);
err = GetLastError(); n--;
}
if (err != 0) return(false); // error offline TF
return(true); // OK
}

good job

Well thanks for that.
Since I am not a Coder could you please post that indi here for a trial.
Would be great.
Thanks
Greetings Zack

Zack,

the indi is free. Download it from my previous post.

I don't think that the send tick feature is working correctly.

Have you got any improvement proposal ? I'd like to code it for you.

The old version (which had other problems) generated the history as soon as it was attached. This version waits for a new bar to generate the history.
