Hi there,

I hope you dont mind me asking this?

In this forum I've found 2 types of renko bars i.e

MedianRenko and SbSRenko. Both of which works well in NT 6.5x

I tried importing both to NT7 and none of them work.

Can someone please help me in getting these to work in NT7?

Hope you dont mind?

Thankyou

I believe these are not supported in NT 7, as NT 7 supports Renko Bars natively.

Hi guys

Attached is MedianRenko I've just converted to NT7.

As this my first experience with BarTypes ever please test it carefully before starting using (and don't forget to post the results of your tests here).

I found one problem with median renko (at least in version NT7)

At exactly round hours (like 17:00:00) the behaviour of the wick is somewhat weird: it keeps drawing the wick until finally the hour changes to 17:00:01. Can anyone else confirm similar problem (both NT6.5 and NT7)?

Happens to me as well on session breaks (ie: pit close to pit open).

Thanks for doing this gregid, it didnt work for me at all, I guess I must be doing something wrong?

I copied the .cs file into

C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\NinjaTrader 7\bin\Custom\Indicator

went in Ninja7, went to Edit Indicator, compilied the code, that worked ok. I then closed down Ninja, picked CL and I could not find the MedianRenko from the chart type?

Do you know why this is gregid or Milke?

Thanks

tellytub, please copy the cs file to:

C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\NinjaTrader 7\bin\Custom\Type

then open any ninjascript (indicator or strategy) and compile it. The last step is to restart NT

it should be available now

try this:

delete the medianrenko file in indicator folder first, open any indicator, compile and don't forget you need to restart NT

if this doesn't work please post the cs file for PointO bars (the last in the attached screenshot) - I want to check if they are not in conflict
