I am having problems with renko indicator, help?

[Gustavo Rosso]

Hello, I would like to create an EA that would effect buying or selling through the formation of a renko chart, but the renko indicator graphic that I found in MQL5 does not work in EA. Someone would have a good renko indicator or would know why it does not issue the order, I think the FxDreema does not understand the indicator.

it depends how is this indicator made, it create objects or fill buffers for indicating renko candles?

I do not understand much, this is the file 0_1482356365306_renko.mq5

[miro1360]

there are 5 buffers,
BoxOpenBuffer
BoxHighBuffer;
BoxLowBuffer
BoxCloseBuffer
BoxColors

use them in fxdreema in condition block like:
BoxOpenBuffer[1] < BoxCloseBuffer[1] .... output is Bull candle1
BoxOpenBuffer[1] > BoxCloseBuffer[1] .... output is Bear candle1

but yes, it must not working

@miro1360, Why will not it work ??? ??? :s I wanted it when a bull renko appeared and he bought it and when a bear renko appeared he would close the operation.

I didn't tried it, but it looks that this indicator is not one of these who produce offline renko charts. In this case it remains just regular custom indicator. The reads the output buffers of the indicator... whatever they contain. I always recommend to try Trace to see what is in the buffers: https://fxdreema.com/demo/mt4-trace-multiple

it is slowly indicator, but I think it is working:

... for faster testing you need something else and I dont know if there is something for MT5

[Gustavo Rosso]

@fxDreema, Yes, it does not produce a chart renko offline it works as an indicator, but I can not put it to work, my idea is simple. When a bull bar BUY appears, then on the first bear bar SELL to zero position.

I dont know reply to your question because of way how indicator is made, hard to tell if it can work in real conditions for EA ... but you can stay with offline charts in MT4 and wait when MT5 will support this charts ... metaquotes told last summer they made support for offline charts, summer is over and support is not, so maybe next summer

@miro1360, Okay thanks for your attention so far. Do you have any renko that works for metatrder 5?

[miro1360]
