So let’s start by taking a look at what Renko Charts are.
You might be asking what the key distinction between the Renko bricks and candlesticks is and if Renko bricks are even value utilizing or studying about.
The trustworthy reply is a convincing YES!
Renko bricks may very well be a game-changer in your buying and selling.
Renko bricks solely type if the set brick dimension is reached in a set timeframe, not like candlesticks that type regardless of the value on the shut of that timeframe.
I promise you’ll perceive by the top of this text.
Renko bricks are shaped as the value strikes both up or down a set variety of pips, cents, or {dollars} (Set by you!) in a set time period.
Let me clarify…
Consider every brick as a constructing block on the earlier brick.
Every time worth strikes greater compared to the earlier brick, the constructing will get greater, creating a pleasant uptrend.
Nevertheless,
Bricks are solely shaped if the value closes at preset values inside a set time period.
Let me present you an instance of a Renko chart…
On this instance, the time-frame is ready to Every day and the Brick dimension to 50 pips.
So.
You’ll be able to see that each time the value moved up 50 pips it shaped a brand new brick.

OK, I do know what you might be pondering…

In the event you have been to set the chart timeframe to Hourly, bricks would type each hour and if you’re utilizing ATR this can change the worth at which every brick dimension will happen.
(Decrease time frames = decrease ATR = decrease brick dimension)
This would possibly sound complicated however let me present you…
Instance – AUD/USD Every day Renko Chart:
On this instance, I’ve highlighted the ATR worth for you.
You’ll be able to see on the Every day timeframe the Common True Vary is 0.007. This worth in pips is 70 pips. Which means that on a median day, in line with this chart, the value ranges 70 pips.

On common, the hourly shut worth ranges round 15 pips. Subsequently our ATR worth is ready to 0.0015.
