PeriodType

[tonynt]

Hello,

when I use in my strategies periodtype.range and periodtype.minute this works fine.

But when I want to have periodtype.range and periodtype.renko there do not appear results in summary tab when backtesting.

Could it be that

a.) renkobars can not be used together with other periodtypes or
b.) renkobars can only be used as primary periodtype but not as added periodtype or
c.) this (issue) occurs only with backtesting or
d.) ???

Thanks
Tony

Tony, are there any errors in your log tab when applying the renko based strategy?

Have you used the dedicated AddRenko() method to add your renko bars in this context?

Hello Bertrand,

thank you for your reply. I add the renkos "as usual":

Add(PeriodType.Range,80);
Add(PeriodType.Minute,3);
Add(PeriodType.Renko,30);

Is this correct?

Thanks
Tony

No, you should see a log entry on using this overload for adding the renko bars - the dedicated AddRenko is the way to go here.
