Renko Bars vs WickedRenko

[joegwest1]

Hi Everyone,

My question is this. I use Wicked Renko Bars for live trading. I would like to set up a strategy using the same.

When I look at the help guide it shows :

For adding Bars of special types please use these methods:
AddKagi() AddLineBreak()
AddPointAndFigure()
AddRenko()

Is there a Add for WickedRenko, or is there no difference between Renko and WickedRenko as far as bar information.



Thanks for the help.

A limitation of using the the custom bar types, you would not be able to called these via the Add() method.

Currently you will need to run the strategy/indicator directly on the custom chart type you wish to calculate from.

We are looking to improve handling for custom bar types in the next major release, however it is to early for me to know specifically how this may be different.

Thank you for you fast response Mathew. I did not realize that is was a custom bar, as it came with the latest version. I can program a work around, but it will be CPU intensive using a data collecting external program.

Look forward to being able to access this custom bar info.

Thank you.

Hi, Is there any update to this? Can custom bar types now be added through Add() method?

Hello AnotherTrader,

Thank you for your post.

This is possible but requires a different use of Add() then the pre-loaded bar types. Please visit the following link for an example: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...84&postcount=4
