RD Renko
Real OHLC wicks, independent reversal sizing, and 3 display modes. One bar type, three parameters, complete control.
- RD Projections — see where the active brick will continue or reverse LIVE.
- RD Overlay — plot a higher-timeframe renko structure on your chart for swing context.
N uniform 1x bricks drawn from the previous close. Clean, evenly-spaced reversals.
What you get
3 Display Modes
Choose how reversal bars are rendered:
- CO-Uni (Mode 1): N uniform 1x bricks from the previous close.
- CO-Dbl (Mode 2): One tall bar spanning the full reversal range.
- OO-Uni (Mode 3): Standard renko with gap-fill bricks (min 2x brick reversal).
Independent Reversal Sizing
Set the reversal threshold to any tick value, completely independent of brick size. A 2-tick brick with a 6-tick reversal.
Real OHLC Wicks
Every renko bar displays its actual high and low as wicks. See where price traded within each brick — critical for reading rejection, momentum, and wick-based signals. Always on, no toggle needed.
Fully Backtestable
Because every bar carries real OHLC data, NinjaTrader's Strategy Analyzer produces accurate fill simulations. No more flat-bar artifacts distorting your backtest results.
Mode matters for strategy design. Mode 2 (CO-Dbl) is recommended for full-OHLC strategies — every element of every bar is real. Modes 1 and 3 have synthetic elements on reversal bricks, so reversal-based logic is less reliable on those modes. Learn more →
Clean 3-Parameter Design
Brick size, reversal size, and display mode. That's it. No bloated settings panels, no hidden toggles. Configure what matters and get to work.
RD Projections Indicator
Included with your purchase. An overlay indicator that draws projected continuation and reversal price levels on your chart. Configurable colors, line styles, widths, labels, and opacity.
RD Overlay Indicator
Included with your purchase. Overlays a higher-timeframe renko structure on your chart — shaded blocks mark the larger bricks so you can read swing-level context without leaving your primary timeframe.
