Periodtype.Renko

[photog53]

I am experimenting with multi-time frame code ...which works for tick, range, minute, but not for Renko. Below I have listed a very simple piece of code that works with (PeriodType.Range,4) .....but will not work with (PeriodType.Renko,4).

private int cntr = 0;

protected override void Initialize()
{
CalculateOnBarClose = true;
Add(PeriodType.Range, 4); // BarsInProgress index = 1
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (BarsInProgress == 1 )
{
if (CurrentBar < 1) return;
cntr ++;
}
//--------------------------------
if (BarsInProgress == 0)
{
if (CurrentBar < 1 ) return;
DrawText("cntr"+CurrentBar, cntr.ToString(),0,High[0],Color.Black);
}
}

I have no idea why this works with everything except Renko...

Thanks...........

Hello,

Thanks for the forum post.

The reason this occurs is that you need to use AddRenko() instead for these special bar type.

I look forward to assisting you further.
