RenkoChartSuite

RenkoChartSuite version 3.3

* Updated on 13-02-2018

1. Engine and panel got fixes and changes(will be posted in a few minutes).

Features:

1. Multi currency: Only 1 expert has to be loaded.
2. Hybrid Renko supported when live.
3. Store up to 6 presets for quick switching between settings.
4. Average True Range Renko
5. Export to .csv
6. Panel can be scaled.
7. Panel can be changed with css.

Program folder:

The panel creates a program folder in your MT4 data folder.
Main folder - "MQL4/Files/RenkoChartSuite/"

1. File - user_presets
2. File - default.css

Charts data - "RenkoChartSuite/Charts/"
Export data - "RenkoChartSuite/Export/"


general:

Load the expert and select your offline chart period. Your selected chart should open automatically.
Load the panel indicator on the offline chart and enable "Allow DLL import" only on 1 panel.
If you autotrade be sure to check if your chart is getting ticks from the ea. If not hit the "Apply" button or select a preset.
All buttons are 2-way clickable - left = down, right = up.
Settings that automatically get applied are: preset(1-6), wicks, gaps, symmetric, default and reset.

"Default" loads the program default settings.
"Reset" loads the last applied settings..


presets:

Under the buttons 1-6 are your presets located.
The panel is programmed with default values for the different chart types.
To overwrite a preset with your personal settings press the "+" button so it lights up as in the picture above.
Select the number you want to store your settings too.
To reset a preset to the default values simply select the number and press the "-" button.
When you change settings across the board you will see the the numbers go on or off. This is because it will try
to match your current settings with one of the presets.


open or close a chart:

You can open or close an offline chart from one panel.
Change the "period" and or the "currency" input and click the "Apply" button to open or
the "x"(close button) to close.


Avarage True Range Renko:

There are 2 options to select with the ATR.

1. Startup: Calculate ATR boxsize on ea startup or when you change settings.
2. Dynamic: Calculate ATR boxsize on a new bar of the selected ATR timeframe.

"Min"
- minimum allowed ATR boxsize.
"Max"
- maximum allowed ATR boxsize.
"Step"
- Minimum difference in the current boxsize - ATR for recalculating the new ATR boxsize.
The step is also used for rounding the ATR boxsize.

When you select a timeframe and your history is out of date or not loaded yet, wait a few seconds
and click "Apply" button again.


Export to .csv:

Simple export function to create a .csv file where the time gets replaced with 1 minute timeframe so
that it can be imported in the MT4 history center. The .csv file is saved in the export folder (see above).


Scaling the panel:

A convenient button for people who have trouble reading the values on the panel.
The scale button is 2-way clickable.
Left - scale down
right - scale up


Changing the default.css file.

When you load the panel for the first time the "default.css" file will be saved in the main program folder (see above) .

*IMPORTANT*

1. Don`t change the panel object names.
2. If you break the panel simply delete the default.css file and reload template.

! Both updates need to be downloaded.
! If you have an old version installed you need to delete the" user_presets and the default.css" from your RenkoChartSuite folder.
! If your version is before 3.2 you have to delete the RenkoChartSuite folder.

For the people using the no panel version
latest version 06-07-2017


Feel free to post/send feedback, questions, requests or a pm.
Hope you will enjoy this version.

Looks fantastic @Brokemat

Thanks for that!

Glad you like it. Did you manage to create the NonGap Renko?

Hmm, it's a bit different to v2?!
When I add the EA and set "47" instead of "2" for example your EA still opens the 2M offline chart immediatly (instead of 47M)!?

So this 2M offline chart is open and gets ticks. On v2 I can change Wicks and Apply and this is immediatly changed in this open offline chart. <- I don't can do that with v3 here.
"Period" is always "1"? I only can use this for opening a new one for example, write "47" click Open and then it's always "1" in there again?

Have you downloaded the new update posted today? I have changed some code that handles the opening of the charts.
It wasn`t even a fix more of some optimization since this problem you mention i diddn`t noticed. I just tested your problem
with the updated version and the charts get opened with the period you choose. Pls let me know if the problem is still there
with the new update. To get the new version you have to download both the ea and the panel.

BTW since you say it is stuck to period 1, do you load the panel on the 1 minute chart with the ea or the offline chart?
The panel goes on the offline chart in V3.

Clarified the opening post a bit because for those of you that come from version 2 where the panel goes on the chart where
the expert is loaded with version 3 the panel goes on the offline chart. Sorry for the trouble.

Greetz Brokemat

That was the needed hint

And "period 47M problem" mentioned above is also gone after I have downloaded the files again from #1

Fault was all mine for not letting know a mayor fundamental difference between the 2 versions

Hello fellow traders,

**UPDATED RenkoChartSuite V3

** A request for the traders using RenkoChartSuite and the ones refusing to use it **

What do you like or dislike about the panel and what would you like to see changed or added. Got some free time

greetz Mat

MT4 The chart can not be moved

I opened four MT4 cards
Use the default settings

can you do these charts with it?

Hi Brokemat. First of all thank you very much for your contribution, a lot of time and effort has gone into this and from my point at least it is really appreciated.

I have been running version 2 without any glitches, not yet anyway, version 3 is showing some interesting effects.
I have put together a small screen grab mp4 video as that is probably the best way of describing what is happening.
Left clicking and scrolling the chart does not move the chart, but moves the Renko Chart Suite box, I can scroll the chart with the keyboard but not with the mouse. drawing objects on the chart also results in the RCS box following the movement, using the crosshair same result looks like the RCS box is connected to the mouse.
Let me know what other information you need.

** UPDATED RenkoChartSuite **

Future updates will show a version number change so no need to download both anymore when there
is an update.

Hello dee50,

Nice to hear you like it. Fixed the mouse movement but the scrolling error if it persists i have to look a bit further.

greetz Mat

Hello brokemat
Great tool !!!
Do not you have any version for Range Bars?

Regards

Hello reteid222,

To create that Renko chart the "Symmetric" button needs to be disabled and the "Retrace" box has to be set at 10%.
It is also under button 4 in the presets section.

greetz Mat

Hello tang789a,

I need some more info on that one.

greetz Mat

hello chaveznqoos,

There is no Range Bars version. I will do some reading on it and maybe start a new project or combine if possible with
RenkoChartSuite.
