Universal Renko Bars by SiddWolfUniversal Renko Bars or UniRenko Bars is an overlay indicator that applies the logic of Renko charting directly onto a standard candlestick chart. It generates a sequence of price-driven bricks, where each new brick is formed only when the price moves a specific amount, regardless of time. This provides a clean, price-action-focused visualization of the market's trend.
WHAT IS UNIVERSAL RENKO BARS?
For years, traders have faced a stark choice: the clean, noise-free world of Renko charts, or the rich, time-based context of Candlesticks. Choosing Renko meant giving up your favorite moving averages, volume profiles, and the fundamental sense of time. Choosing Candlesticks meant enduring the market noise that often clouds true price action.
But what if you didn't have to choose?
Universal Renko Bars is a revolutionary indicator that ends this dilemma. It's not just another charting tool; it's a powerful synthesis that overlays the pure, price-driven logic of Renko bricks directly onto your standard candlestick chart. This hybrid approach gives you the best of both worlds:
❖ The Clarity of Renko: By filtering out the insignificant noise of time, Universal Renko reveals the underlying trend with unparalleled clarity. Up trends are clean successions of green bricks; down trends are clear red bricks. No more guesswork.
❖ The Context of Candlesticks: Because the Renko logic is an overlay, you retain your time axis, your volume data, and full compatibility with every other time-based indicator in your arsenal (RSI, MACD, Moving Averages, etc.).
The true magic, however, lies in its live, Unconfirmed Renko brick. This semi-transparent box is your window into the current bar's real-time struggle. It grows, shrinks, and changes color with every tick, showing you exactly how close the price is to confirming the trend or forcing a reversal. It’s no longer a lagging indicator; it’s a live look at the current battle between buyers and sellers.
Universal Renko Bars unifies these two powerful charting methods, transforming your chart into a more intelligent, noise-free, and predictive analytical canvas.
HOW TO USE
To get the most out of Universal Renko Bars, here are a few tips and a full breakdown of the settings.
Initial Setup for the Best Experience
For the cleanest possible view, it's highly recommended that you hide the body of your standard candlesticks, that shows only the skelton of the candle. This allows the Renko bricks to become the primary focus of your chart.
→ Double click on the candles and uncheck the body checkbox.
Settings Breakdown
The indicator is designed to be powerful yet intuitive. The settings are grouped to make customization easy.
First, What is a "Tick"?
Before we dive in, it's important to understand the concept of a "Tick." In Universal Renko, a Tick is not the same as a market tick. It's a fundamental unit of price movement that you define. For example, if you set the Tick Size to $0.50, then a price move of $1.00 is equal to 2 Ticks. This is the core building block for all Renko bricks. Tick size here is dynamically determined by the settings provided in the indicator.
❖ Calculation Method (The "Tick Size" Engine)
This section determines the monetary value of a single "Tick."
`Calculation Method` : Choose your preferred engine for defining the Tick Size.
`ATR Based` (Default): The Tick Size becomes dynamic, based on market volatility (Average True Range). Bricks will get larger in volatile markets and smaller in quiet ones. Use the `ATR 14 Multiplier` to control the sensitivity.
`Percentage` : The Tick Size is a simple percentage of the current asset price, controlled by the `Percent Size (%)` input.
`Auto` : The "set it and forget it" mode. The script intelligently calculates a Tick Size based on the asset's price. Use the `Auto Sensitivity` slider to make these automatically calculated bricks thicker (value > 1.0) or thinner (value < 1.0).
❖ Parameters (The Core Renko Engine)
This group controls how the bricks are constructed based on the Tick Size.
`Tick Trend` : The number of "Ticks" the price must move in the same direction to print a new continuation brick. A smaller value means bricks form more easily.
`Tick Reversal` : The number of "Ticks" the price must move in the opposite direction to print a new reversal brick. This is typically set higher than `Tick Trend` (e.g., double) to filter out minor pullbacks and market noise.
`Open Offset` : Controls the visual overlap of the bricks. A value of `0` creates gapless bricks that start where the last one ended. A value of `2` (with a `Tick Reversal` of 4) creates the classic 50% overlap look.
❖ Visuals (Controlling What You See)
This is where you tailor the chart to your visual preference.
`Show Confirmed Renko` : Toggles the solid-colored, historical bricks. These are finalized and will never change. They represent the confirmed past trend.
`Show Unconfirmed Renko` : This is the most powerful visual feature. It toggles the live, semi-transparent box that represents the developing brick. It shows you exactly where the price is right now in relation to the levels needed to form the next brick.
`Show Max/Min Levels` : Toggles the horizontal "finish lines" on your chart. The green line is the price target for a bullish brick, and the red line is the target for a bearish brick. These are excellent for spotting breakouts.
`Show Info Label` : Toggles the on-chart label that provides key real-time stats:
🧱 Bricks: The total count of confirmed bricks.
⏳ Live: How many chart bars the current live brick has been forming. These bars forms the Renko bricks that aren't confirmed yet. Live = 0 means the latest renko brick is confirmed.
🌲 Tick Size: The current calculated value of a single Tick.
Hover over the label for a tooltip with live RSI(14), MFI(14), and CCI(20) data for additional confirmation.
TRADING STRATEGIES & IDEAS
Universal Renko Bars isn't just a visual tool; it's a foundation for building robust trading strategies.
Trend Confirmation: The primary use is to instantly identify the trend. A series of green bricks indicates a strong uptrend; a series of red bricks indicates a strong downtrend. Use this to filter out trades that go against the primary momentum.
Reversal Spotting: Pay close attention to the Unconfirmed Brick . When a strong trend is in place and the live brick starts to fight against it—changing color and growing larger—it can be an early warning that a reversal is imminent. Wait for the brick to be confirmed for a higher probability entry.
Breakout Trading: The `Max/Min Levels` are your dynamic breakout zones. A long entry can be considered when the price breaks and closes above the green Max Level, confirming a new bullish brick. A short entry can be taken when price breaks below the red Min Level.
Confluence & Indicator Synergy: This is where Universal Renko truly shines. Overlay a moving average (e.g., 20 EMA). Only take long trades when the green bricks are forming above the EMA. Combine it with RSI or MACD; a bearish reversal brick forming while the RSI shows bearish divergence is a very powerful signal.

Universal Renko Bars was designed to solve a fundamental problem in technical analysis. It brings together the best elements of two powerful methodologies to give you a clearer, more actionable view of the market. By filtering noise while retaining context, it empowers you to make decisions with greater confidence.

Renko + CandlesThis indicator has been designed to show you both candle chart and Renko chart in one place.
I think most of you are familiar with candle chart which is working with the time and price movements but Renko chart is based on price differences and is not related to the "time" parameter.
so if you see a Renko brick is appear up(or down) to the previous brick it means that a certain and fixed price movement has been occurred (which mostly calculate by ATR). and also this indicator works in any time frame.
Remember because we want both charts we have time parameter in this indicator, and if the price doesn't move up or down a certain percentage from previous bars, it will plot a renko bar beside the previous one.
you can use this indicator to see if the price moves up or down.
Or you can determine the important support and resistances with much less noises.
it can be used as a confirmation for you to keep your positions or exit.
go ahead and discover it...

Flex Renko Emulator Strategy by Zack_The_LegoThe author of the study is Zack_The_Lego but i made it into a strategy because its an awesome study by him.
RENKO Modified (NO REPAINT CODE)I'm releasing this code in public Interest in hope of getting it improved by the community. If someone wants to use this code, then he/she should publish this code in Public Library with Open Source reference.
The code is entirely mine and not anyone else's.
I would love to see some imporvements to this code, so if you have any suggestions then let me know in the comments section and if someone can actually make it better than it would be great.
I'll share the logic for BUY and Sell upon agrreing on mutual terms.
As of this moment, the code simply plots Renko Bars, based on Daily Open.
I have added Daily close as an option in this, just in case someone wants it.
similarly you can call upon High and Low (for Obvious Reasons)
It CAN NOT REPAINT at all!!!!
[RESEARCH] Renko Chart IdentifierDespite I am not a big fan of Renko I spent some time to solve a common problem of chart type identification using absolutely obvious technique: Renko bricks have the same size. That's all. Not a cutting-edge maths.
This tool allows to identify:
ATR Renko charts (see ^)
Traditional Renko charts
Here is example for Traditional Renko:
It also works correctly with other chart types:
Classic Candles
Heikin-Ashi
Kagi
PnF
Range Bars

Renko CandlesticksRenko charts are awesome . They reduce noise by only painting a brick on the chart when price moves by a specified amount up/down. When the price reverses, it must go twice the specified amount before a brick is painted. Time is not a factor, just price movement. Sometimes however, you want the pros of a renko chart, but on a regular candlestick chart. This indicator attempts to do just that.
A band is placed around price action showing the upper and lower bounds of what would be the current renko brick. The band only goes up/down when the price action itself moves up/down by the amount you specify. There are several ways of specifying the amount:
Fixed Price Amount: As the name says, you enter the brick size amount, i.e. the amount the price has to move before being in a new brick.
% of Price: This method will calculate the amount the price has to move as a percentage of the price itself. This way as price goes up/down, your brick size will adjust accordingly. Recommended values would be around 1% or less.
% of ATR: This option will make the brick size a percentage of the Average True Range. You can specify the ATR time frame to be different from your current time frame as well as the ATR length. For instance you could be on a 10 minute chart but specify the ATR to be daily with a length of 3 and a percentage amount of 15. This would make your brick size 15% of the Average True Range for the last 3 days. Recommended values are 10 to 20%.
Use this indicator on any time frame, even the 1 minute as the renko bands span the price action the same way on any time frame easily letting you know whether or not the price has moved appreciably, regardless of how much time has passed.
You can also set alerts easily, simply set the alert to crossing and choose “Renko Candlesticks” instead of “Value”. You will then see the options for the renko upper and lower bounds.
Tested on Bitcoin with the following values:
Fixed Price Amount: 30 ($30)
% of Price: 0.45 (if Bitcoin is $7000 then the brick size would be $31.50)
% of ATR: 15%, ATR Time Frame: 1D, ATR Length: 3 (3 days)
RENKO INDICATOR OVERLAY by CryptoJoncisA very simple and basic renko indicator for any time frame and ticker.
Please be aware, the minimum value for traditional renko box size = 0.0001 so if you are using this indicator for trading with cryptocurrencies, it might be better to use ATR for that.
Can be merged together with main chart for better performance.
