Can't we have candles of 2 days ?

I tried to create Candles of 2 days instead of 1 day and it seems that MC screws it somewhere. Enclosed you can see as we have one candle ending on 15/4, on 13/4, on 11/4 but then on 8/4 and 7/4 (the one of 8/4 should not exist). Same happens for example on 10/3 and 11/3. Is this something that is n...

Re: Renko bars incorrect after last MC update

I'm talking about price levels that were indeed traded and should be reflected in a renko with one or more briks.

If I enable phantom bars I will have briks with prices that were not traded.

Before the new version this was OK. Why is now wrong ?

Re: Renko bars incorrect after last MC update

Then in the second chart we can see the bar as 16:02 so the 16:01 bar was closed. However no red bricks were built.
The last red brick there is from 15:55. There should be there at least another three red bricks for a while.
