Limits of standard renko
- Reversal is locked at 2x brick size — no way to adjust it independently.
- No wicks — every bar is flat, hiding real OHLC price action.
- One display mode with no alternatives.
- Backtesting on flat bars produces unreliable fills.
RD Renko gives you control
- Set reversal to any tick value — decouple it from brick size entirely.
- Real OHLC wicks on every bar — see actual highs and lows.
- 3 display modes (CO-Uni, CO-Dbl, OO-Uni) for different analysis styles.
- Backtesting with real OHLC data for accurate fill simulation.
Built for serious renko traders
Three parameters. Complete control over how your renko bars are constructed and displayed.
Real OHLC Wicks
Every bar shows its true high and low. No more guessing where price actually traded within a brick.
Independent Reversal
Set reversal size to any tick value — 3 ticks, 7 ticks, 15 ticks. Completely independent from brick size.
3 Display Modes
- CO-Uni — uniform bricks from close
- CO-Dbl — single tall reversal bar
- OO-Uni — standard gap-fill
