Renko Builder update v1.03

Hi, I discovered a heavy bug in v1.02 and need to release an update. The bug was unseen because I had no online market on the weekend when I programmed the software. This bug displayed a wrong online history. Data online and for strategy tester was and is correct. The bug is fixed now and I apologize.

Change Log:

//|
//| Apr 25 2015 (eni) (v1.01):
//| - Initial version
//|
//| Apr 26 2015 (eni) (v1.02):
//| - Release Version #1
//| - New UpdateChartWindow()
//| - New Renko Brick calculation ( online )
//| - Non-Gap Renko Chart support
//| - Create standard TimeFrame Renko Charts in different directory
//|
//| Apr 28 2015 (eni) (v1.03):
//| - Release Version #2
//| - No Update of Offline Chart while reading history
//| - No FileFlush while reading history
//| - New Renko Brick calculation ( history )
//| - New History File format (401), stored values are normalized
//| - New Reduce CPU Load option
//|

EA Startup is faster. The data is now stored in the new history file format (401) for the MT4 600+ platform and the prices are normalized ( no more e.g. 1.08000001 prices, it's 1.08000 now in case of EURUSD ). Quite some Renko Builders I have seen have this problem. There is a new "Reduce CPU Load" option for people who run many instances of Renko Charts.

Enjoy !

Best,
V.

I have problem with trailing Stop. If I put a fixed trailing stop, after moving price back SL move back too, as someone else wrote a few days ago. Thatīs no happend if I select "Every3candles". I have this problem in MathTrader7_2.99 and 3.10 too, using in both nongaprenkoEA, so I can no test with trailing stop to try for better results.

Yes I had the same problem, email from my broker said hyper active EA causing overload on their server and advising me to disable it, so switched to every3candles instead and works ok.

I like this strategy a lot. Hopefully, an EA can be made to your specifications. In the meantime, I'll try it manually.

Iīm taking transactions everyday with Non-gap and MathTrader7_3.10 since last week.

You have to uncheck the offline chart option in the common tab of the renko chart in order to enable trading on a offline chart. Also you have to enable DLL import in options menu.

Looks like mor707 is working on this already. Please let me know about your testing results, thanks. I am busy ATM. However, if your results are good and noone automates, I may give it a try.

Could you please recalculate those 2 charts by using the renko standard method - buy or sell after reverse and 2 closed candles, exit after 1 reverse candle. I am curious how this would turn out and I tested Renkos and MA's intensively.

Renko Builder v1.04 - optional update

Hi, here is the latest version v1.04 of my Renko Builder. If you run v1.03 already, there is no need to update. The changes applied may be handy though.

Change Log:

//|
//| Apr 25 2015 (eni) (v1.01):
//| - Initial version
//|
//| Apr 26 2015 (eni) (v1.02):
//| - Release Version #1
//| - New UpdateChartWindow()
//| - New Renko Brick calculation ( online )
//| - Non-Gap Renko Chart support
//| - Create standard TimeFrame Renko Charts in different directory
//| - New Maximum Bars back in Source Chart
//|
//| Apr 28 2015 (eni) (v1.03):
//| - Release Version #2
//| - No Update of Offline Chart while reading history
//| - No FileFlush while reading history
//| - New Renko Brick calculation ( history )
//| - New History File format (401), stored values are normalized
//| - New Reduce CPU Load option
//|
//| Apr 30 2015 (eni) (v1.04):
//| - Release Version #3
//| - Show Configuration and Runtime summary
//| - Disable Maximum Bars back when creating standard TimeFrame Renko Charts for backtesting
//|

I consider this release as the last one for a longer time. It's tested briefly now ( v1.03 works correct too ) and does everything I need and could think of a Renko Builder. If you have issues or want to discuss enhancements, please let me know.

Best, V

Thanks HungaryFX,

Sorry guys, I just wanted the MA settings, I am not a programmer so I will not be able to make a EA for Hungary's method.

Cheers

Ok, I gave Hungarys strategy a try ( just hardcoded it quickly within an existing EA ) . I hope I got it correctly. EURUSD, 12 pips bricks ( have no Gold data ). In addition I used a fixed SL of 35 pips.

Picture 1: the method
Picture 2: the results ( 6 months backtesting )
