Renko

Renko MTF - Traditional and ATRSomehow there aren't too many renko bars that have the traditional setting built-in so I put one up. This one has the option to choose between Traditional and ATR, the size number corresponds to the option that was chosen. And just in case if anyone wanted, I put up a multi-time frame option to choose the time frame the bars take place. D is for day, W is for week, flat numbers are in minutes, and leaving it blank looks at the current time frame the chart is in. The calculation comes from how Tradingview handles renko bars. Renko bars don't paint a color unless the market moves a certain amount based on its settings. When the market moves up it turns green, if it moves down it turns red, simple color changes alone can say a lot. They're a good way to try to find trends somewhat objectively and seem to be a good way to eliminate time and can replace other time-based indicators that can whipsaw or lag. The bars have a tendency to repeat themselves so it's a good way to find trends. There aren't too many settings for the box size, most people either just choose 5, 10, 14, etc where as other indicators have many options that differ on different markets. The numbers can be chosen easily enough to pick a sweet spot with just a single input where other indicators such as MACD have multiple inputs to pick the right number that can make it difficult to choose from(although it won't be as precise as a MACD would sometimes but can be worth the objectiveness and consistency and same setting repeatability in different markets in my opinion). Some example strategies could be to use them as an alternative trailing stop, finding trends, a simple color change for entry and exit on top of other strategies, etc. It can do the job of many in an all in one price action type indicator(although not better all the time, it can come close enough). Despite all this, it does seem to depend on which time-frame it's being looked at, how TV does the calculation for it, and how one can use this with the lack of practical information on it out there.

Hancock - RenkoThis is the first release of Renko indicator. Renko is plotted over candles and best calculates the number of Renko bricks printed up or down per candle which can be viewed from the data window. It plots the high and low of a the bricks, if numerous bricks are printed on a candle, as well as the open and close of a Renko brick. This will be actively developed and improved over the next few months and i will be basing other indicators from this Renko. Happy trading Hancock

Up/Down Trend MarkerA simple indicator of trend by using 3 EMAs of multiplies of 2, 5 and 10, filtered by standard positive/negative directional movements (DM) which are the base of Average Directional Index (ADX). The "Trend Strength" option is included to set the EMA multipliers and also the variation between DM+ and DM- which interpret the trend as a weak or a strong one. Note that the markers only point to almost the beginning of the trends and just change the direction when the opposite trend is detected. Feel free to send me your opinions.

RenkoNow you can plot a "Renko" chart on any timeframe for free! As with my previous algorithm, you can plot the "Linear Break" chart on any timeframe for free! I again decided to help TradingView programmers and wrote code that converts a standard candles / bars to a "Renko" chart. The built-in renko() and security() functions for constructing a "Renko" chart are working wrong. Do not try to write strategies based on the built-in renko() function! The developers write in the manual: "Please note that you cannot plot Renko bricks from Pine script exactly as they look. You can only get a series of numbers similar to OHLC values for Renko bars and use them in your algorithms". However, it is possible to build a "Renko" chart exactly like the "Renko" chart built into TradingView. Personally, I had enough Pine Script functionality. For a complete understanding of how such a chart is built, you can read to Steve Nison's book "BEYOND JAPANESE CANDLES" and see the instructions for creating a "Renko" chart: Rule 1: one white brick (or series) is built when the price rises above the base price by a fixed threshold value or more. Rule 2: one black brick (or series) is built when the price falls below the base price by a fixed threshold or more. Rule 3: if the rise or fall of the price is less than the minimum fixed value, then new bricks are not drawn. Rule 4: if today's closing price is higher than the maximum of the last brick (white or black) by a threshold or more, move to the column to the right and build one or more white bricks of equal height. A new brick begins with the maximum of the previous brick. Rule 5: if today's closing price is below the minimum of the last brick (white or black) by a threshold or more, move to the column to the right and build one or more black bricks of equal height. A new brick begins with the minimum of the previous brick. Rule 6: if the price is below the maximum or above the minimum, then new bricks are not drawn on the chart. So my algorithm can to plot Traditional Renko with a fixed box size. I want to note that such a "Renko" chart is slightly different from the "Renko" chart built into TradingView, because as a base price I use (by default) close of first candle. How the developers of TradingView calculate the base price I don’t know. Personally, I do as written in the book of Steve Neeson. The algorithm is very complicated and I do not want to explain it in detail. I will explain very briefly. The first part of the get_renko () function — // creating lists — creates two lists that record how many green bricks should be and how many red bricks. The second part of the get_renko () function — // creating open and close series — creates open and close series to plot bricks. So, this is a white box - study it! As you understand, one green candle can create a condition under which it will be necessary to plot, for example, 10 green bricks. So the smaller the box size you make, the smaller the portion of the chart you will see. I stuffed all the logic into a wrapper in the form of the get_renko() function, which returns a tuple of OHLC values. And these series with the help of the plotcandle() annotation can be converted to the "Renko" chart. I also want to note that with a large number of candles on the chart, outrages about the buffer size uncertainty are heard from the TradingView blackbox. Because of it, in the annotation study() set the value of the max_bars_back parameter. In general, use this script (for example, to write strategies)!

Renko AccelerationRenko is a very useful charting method for analyzing stock movement. It does a great job of filtering out all the excess noise so that all we're left with is pure price action. But, what about time? Time is a fundamental part of chart analysis and we are only seeing part of the picture. After all, shouldn't we take a very different approach to trading signals from a block that renders in 2 seconds as opposed to a block that renders in 30 minutes? This indicator provides the best of both worlds, enabling us to correlate the passing of time with price movement and clearly see when squeezes and breakouts occur. As the indicator turns up to green we can see that volatility is on the move and the market is accelerating (breakout), and as it turns down to red the market is stagnating (squeeze). There is also an alternate 'Precise' view which renders the exact time per block for more granular analysis.

Renko Weis Wave VolumeThis is live and non-repainting Renko Weis Wave Volume tool. The tool has it’s own engine and not using integrated function of Trading View. Renko charts ignore time and focus solely on price changes that meet a minimum requirement. Time is not a factor on Renko chart but as you can see with this script Renko RSI created on time chart. Renko chart provide several advantages, some of them are filtering insignificant price movements and noise, focusing on important price movements and making support/resistance levels much easier to identify. As source Closing price or High/Low can be used. Traditional or ATR can be used for scaling. If ATR is chosen then there is rounding algorithm according to mintick value of the security. For example if mintick value is 0.001 and brick size (ATR/Percentage) is 0.00124 then box size becomes 0.001. And also while using dynamic brick size (ATR), box size changes only when Renko closing price changed. This tool is based on the Weis Wave described by David H. Weis (a Wyckoff specialist). The Weis Waves Indicator sums up volumes in each wave. This is how we receive a bar chart of cumulative volumes of alternating waves and The cumulative volume makes the Weis wave charts unique. If there is no volume information for the security then this tool has an option to use “True Range” instead of volume . Better to use this script with the following one: Enjoy!

Renko ChartHello All. This is live and non-repainting Renko Charting tool. The tool has it’s own engine and not using integrated function of Trading View. Renko charts ignore time and focus solely on price changes that meet a minimum requirement. Time is not a factor on Renko chart but as you can see with this script Renko chart created on time chart. Renko chart provide several advantages, some of them are filtering insignificant price movements and noise, focusing on important price movements and making support/resistance levels much easier to identify. in the script Renko Trend Line with threshold area is included. and also there is protection from whipsaws, so you can catch big waves with very good entry points. Trend line is calculated by EMA of Renko closing price. As source Closing price or High/Low can be used. Traditional or ATR can be used for scaling. If ATR is chosen then there is rounding algorithm according to mintick value of the security. For example if mintick value is 0.001 and brick size (ATR/Percentage) is 0.00124 then box size becomes 0.001. And also while using dynamic brick size (ATR), box size changes only when Renko closing price changed. Renko bar can be seen as area or candle and also optionally bar color changes when Renko trend changed. Soon other Renko scripts (Renko RSI, Renko Weis Wave, Renko MACD etc) are coming ;) ENJOY!

RENKO Modified (NO REPAINT CODE)I'm releasing this code in public Interest in hope of getting it improved by the community. If someone wants to use this code, then he/she should publish this code in Public Library with Open Source reference. The code is entirely mine and not anyone else's. I would love to see some imporvements to this code, so if you have any suggestions then let me know in the comments section and if someone can actually make it better than it would be great. I'll share the logic for BUY and Sell upon agrreing on mutual terms. As of this moment, the code simply plots Renko Bars, based on Daily Open. I have added Daily close as an option in this, just in case someone wants it. similarly you can call upon High and Low (for Obvious Reasons) It CAN NOT REPAINT at all!!!!

Backtesting on Non-Standard Charts: Caution! - PineCoders FAQMuch confusion exists in the TradingView community about backtesting on non-standard charts. This script tries to shed some light on the subject in the hope that traders make better use of those chart types. Non-standard charts are: Heikin Ashi (HA) Renko Kagi Point & Figure Range These chart types are called non-standard because they all transform market prices into synthetic views of price action. Some focus on price movement and disregard time. Others like HA use the same division of bars into fixed time intervals but calculate artificial open, high, low and close (OHLC) values. Non-standard chart types can provide traders with alternative ways of interpreting price action, but they are not designed to test strategies or run automated traded systems where results depend on the ability to enter and exit trades at precise price levels at specific times, whether orders are issued manually or algorithmically. Ironically, the same characteristics that make non-standard chart types interesting from an analytical point of view also make them ill-suited to trade execution. Why? Because of the dislocation that a synthetic view of price action creates between its non-standard chart prices and real market prices at any given point in time. Switching from a non-standard chart price point into the market always entails a translation of time/price dimensions that results in uncertainty—and uncertainty concerning the level or the time at which orders are executed is detrimental to all strategies. The delta between the chart’s price when an order is issued (which is assumed to be the expected price) and the price at which that order is filled is called slippage . When working from normal chart types, slippage can be caused by one or more of the following conditions: • Time delay between order submission and execution. During this delay the market may move normally or be subject to large orders from other traders that will cause large moves of the bid/ask levels. • Lack of bids for a market sell or lack of asks for a market buy at the current price level. • Spread taken by middlemen in the order execution process. • Any other event that changes the expected fill price. When a market order is submitted, matching engines attempt to fill at the best possible price at the exchange. TradingView strategies usually fill market orders at the opening price of the next candle. A non-standard chart type can produce misleading results because the open of the next candle may or may not correspond to the real market price at that time. This creates artificial and often beneficial slippage that would not exist on standard charts. Consider an HA chart. The open for each candle is the average of the previous HA bar’s open and close prices. The open of the HA candle is a synthetic value, but the real market open at the time the new HA candle begins on the chart is the unrelated, regular open at the chart interval. The HA open will often be lower on long entries and higher on short entries, resulting in unrealistically advantageous fills. Another example is a Renko chart. A Renko chart is a type of chart that only measures price movement. The purpose of a Renko chart is to cluster price action into regular intervals, which consequently removes the time element. Because Trading View does not provide tick data as a price source, it relies on chart interval close values to construct Renko bricks. As a consequence, a new brick is constructed only when the interval close penetrates one or more brick thresholds. When a new brick starts on the chart, it is because the previous interval’s close was above or below the next brick threshold. The open price of the next brick will likely not represent the current price at the time this new brick begins, so correctly simulating an order is impossible. Some traders have argued with us that backtesting and trading off HA charts and other non-standard charts is useful, and so we have written this script to show traders what happens when order fills from backtesting on non-standard charts are compared to real-world fills at market prices. Let’s review how TV backtesting works. TV backtesting uses a broker emulator to execute orders. When an order is executed by the broker emulator on historical bars, the price used for the fill is either the close of the order’s submission bar or, more often, the open of the next. The broker emulator only has access to the chart’s prices, and so it uses those prices to fill orders. When backtesting is run on a non-standard chart type, orders are filled at non-standard prices, and so backtesting results are non-standard—i.e., as unrealistic as the prices appearing on non-standard charts. This is not a bug; where else is the broker emulator going to fetch prices than from the chart? This script is a strategy that you can run on either standard or non-standard chart types. It is meant to help traders understand the differences between backtests run on both types of charts. For every backtest, a label at the end of the chart shows two global net profit results for the strategy: • The net profits (in currency) calculated by TV backtesting with orders filled at the chart’s prices. • The net profits (in currency) calculated from the same orders, but filled at market prices (fetched through security() calls from the underlying real market prices) instead of the chart’s prices. If you run the script on a non-standard chart, the top result in the label will be the result you would normally get from the TV backtesting results window. The bottom result will show you a more realistic result because it is calculated from real market fills. If you run the script on a normal chart type (bars, candles, hollow candles, line, area or baseline) you will see the same result for both net profit numbers since both are run on the same real market prices. You will sometimes see slight discrepancies due to occasional differences between chart prices and the corresponding information fetched through security() calls. Features • Results shown in the Data Window (third icon from the top right of your chart) are: — Cumulative results — For each order execution bar on the chart, the chart and market previous and current fills, and the trade results calculated from both chart and market fills. • You can choose between 2 different strategies, both elementary. • You can use HA prices for the calculations determining entry/exit conditions. You can use this to see how a strategy calculated from HA values can run on a normal chart. You will notice that such strategies will not produce the same results as the real market results generated from HA charts. This is due to the different environment backtesting is running on where for example, position sizes for entries on the same bar will be calculated differently because HA and standard chart close prices differ. • You can choose repainting/non-repainting signals. • You can show MAs, entry/exit markers and market fill levels. • You can show candles built from the underlying market prices. • You can color the background for occurrences where an order is filled at a different real market price than the chart’s price. Notes • On some non-standard chart types you will not obtain any results. This is sometimes due to how certain types of non-standard types work, and sometimes because the script will not emit orders if no underlying market information is detected. • The script illustrates how those who want to use HA values to calculate conditions can do so from a standard chart. They will then be getting orders emitted on HA conditions but filled at more realistic prices because their strategy can run on a standard chart. • On some non-standard chart types you will see market results surpass chart results. While this may seem interesting, our way of looking at it is that it points to how unreliable non-standard chart backtesting is, and why it should be avoided. • In order not to extend an already long description, we do not discuss the particulars of executing orders on the realtime bar when using non-standard charts. Unless you understand the minute details of what’s going on in the realtime bar on a particular non-standard chart type, we recommend staying away from this. • Some traders ask us: Why does TradingView allow backtesting on non-standard chart types if it produces unrealistic results? That’s somewhat like asking a hammer manufacturer why it makes hammers if hammers can hurt you. We believe it’s a trader’s responsibility to understand the tools he is using. Takeaways • Non-standard charts are not bad per se, but they can be badly used. • TV backtesting on non-standard charts is not broken and doesn’t require fixing. Traders asking for a fix are in dire need of learning more about trading. We recommend they stop trading until they understand why. • Stay away from—even better, report—any vendor presenting you with strategies running on non-standard charts and implying they are showing reliable results. • If you don’t understand everything we discussed, don’t use non-standard charts at all. • Study carefully how non-standard charts are built and the inevitable compromises used in calculating them so you can understand their limitations. Thanks to @allanster and @mortdiggiddy for their help in editing this description. Look first. Then leap.

Lancelot vstop intraday trending strategyDear all, Free strategy again. I found using 3 volatility stop with different settings could be very helpful when trading an intraday trending market. With the ATR setting or 5, 10, 15, we can weed out many false break. Vstop setting is OHLC4. On the other hand, this strategy also utilize Renko as part of the strategy, so you could say this strategy is mainly an intraday break out trend following strategy. Works well on BTCUSD XBTUSD, as well as other major liquid alt Pairs. And lastly, Save Hong Kong, the revolution of our times.

Lancelot RR StrategyDear all, Free strategy again. This strategy consists of 2 indicators I think works well with each other as a trend following strategy. The 2 indicators are Renko chart and Relative Vigor Index. This is a long-only breakout strategy that aims to capture the majority of the trend. Works well on BTCUSD XBTUSD, as well as other major liquid Pair. Please acknowledge my effort by like and follow. And lastly, Save Hong Kong, the revolution of our times.
