Renko bars compatible with NT

Postby KhaosTrader » 06 Feb 2013

Hi,

I am trying to convert some charts from the other trading platform using C# to MC, In my charts in NT, I have renko bars size of 10 pips. How do I make the same Renko bars in MultiCharts? There are quite a few more settings so I am not sure how to do it properly.

Thanks.

Hello KhaosTrader,

The box size in Format->Instrument->Settings should be set to Min Mov * Price Scale * 10.
You can find these values if you go to QuoteManager->Edit symbol->Settings tab.

Please go to QuoteManager->Edit symbol->Settings tab for the symbol you are plotting on the chart.
Use Min Movement and Price Scale values to set the Renko chart resolution in MultiCharts->Format->Instrument->Settings.
Set the Box size to Min Mov * Price Scale * 10.
