Renko Charting on MC or TS

[lordbinder 11]

anyone know of a renko charts script for multicharts or tradestation?

[lordbinder 11]

answering to myself I just found this 2 indicators, but trying to compile on multicharts gets an error

You know one is an indicator and the other a strategy/signal? There are no errors with the Indicator when I compile it.

 

Here is the code for the indicator:

 

{Renko-Adaptive indicator (based on ATR)
Written by konkop 07.03.2002.
*********************
Attention: set MaxBarsBack (f.e. =30) in this study according with
MaxBarsBack value in the Renko_Adaptive strategy
for correct step-by-step calculations of the buy/sell levels
*********************}

Inputs: K(1),
Smooth(10);

vars:Brick(0) ,DN(0), UP(0), BricksUp(0), BricksDn(0);

Value1 = AvgTrueRange(Smooth);

If BarNumber = 1 Then Begin
Up = H;
Dn = L;
Brick = K*(H - L);
End;

If BarNumber > 1 then begin
If C > UP + Brick Then begin
	BricksUp = IFF(Brick = 0, 0, Floor((C - Up)/Brick)*Brick);
	UP = Up + BricksUp;
	Brick = K*Value1;
	DN = Up - Brick;
	BricksDn = 0;
End;

If C < Dn - Brick Then begin
	BricksDn = IFF(Brick = 0, 0, Floor((Dn - C)/Brick)*Brick);
	Dn = Dn - BricksDn;
	Brick = K*Value1;
	Up = Dn + Brick;
	BricksUp = 0;
End;
End;

Plot1(UP, "Up");
Plot2(DN, "Dn");

 

The signal was using "short" as and input name which is a standard word which cause a syntax error. I change that to "ShortTrades". Also "exitlong" is not supported anymore and this is just "sell "now. The "trading rules" section does not make a lot of sense to me, but the code compile now with fixing the above two issues, for what it is worth.

thx I knew the problem was the use of the short but dint know how to solve it. I know its just a signal and an indicator but it was all i could find, there is renko for metatrader esignal and amibroker but couldnt fund any for easylanguage

[thrunner 10]

anyone know of a renko charts script for multicharts or tradestation?

Progster & Swisstrader have Renko indicator and strategy for TS. Suri Duddella has them as well, however they all charge a few hundred for them. Unfortunately TS and MC do not support Renko natively. One alternative that is 'free' (advertisement supported) and supports Renko natively is Quotetracker.

[lordbinder 11]

Ill check them, I actually am a client of QT, but I hade a minor delay lately, support solved it a couple of days ago, but the quest for a renko chart on multicharts remains

[ryounkin 10]

The latest version of TS (8.5) has Renko charting.

Can anybody with EasyLanguage skills program the following code to be always in the market? So when long and the system gets a sell signal, it exits the long position and adds a short position?

The changes I made should satisfy your objective to alternate between long and short.
