Hi, you should only ever load a Renko chart builder onto a 1 minute chart to get the most precise tick data and from there the Mathstrader7 should open an M3 chart automatically.Chintzki wrote: Sat Jan 01, 2022 6:47 pm I have a stupid question; I'm sorry.
I am having trouble setting up renko charts (first time!). Is there a good place for a basic guide for this indicator? I have searched the web.
I have taken the EA you provided and put it into my Experts folders. I have loaded it onto a chart and it will display SOME bricks.
My problem is that the there are not very many bricks. Not much history.
I have tried loading the chart in different timeframes, different symbols, downloading entire history for the symbol. No luck.
Can you please advise? Or direct me to a good guide? Sorry for the trouble, but thank you for any help you can provide.
P.S.
Happy New Year =)
There will be a malfunction if you already have a M3 offline chart allocated for that asset according to File > Open offline charts (top pic). If so then choose a different un-used M number eg 2, 4, 6 ... (2nd pic)
I've never had a problem with the history though never tried to go back more than a few days. In Tools > Options I only have 5000 for both max bars in history and in charts.
Have another go, if still having problems post and we can try again.
