Hey Everyone,

I'm trying to program a strategy in NT7 using unirenko bars. Basically it looks for a setup using minute bars then uses a unirenko reversal bar as the trigger to place the trade. I'm having an issue getting the strategy to recognize the open/close prices of the unirenko bars. I have read a lot of forum posts here about getting it to work but it doesn't seem to be working for me.

I'm using unirenko v4 from the downloads at futures.io. If I use the minute dataseries and add the unirenko in the strategy with Add(PeriodType.Custom5, 002004004), in the output window I only get one data point for the unirenko open and close. That data does not update even though the unirenko chart does.

If I use unirenko as the primary dataseries I only get a value of zero for the open and closes of the unirenko bars.

I've read that that unirenko does not backtest well but I am testing it using the market replay connection. I assume NT handles market replay data the same as a live connection.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi Adaisguy,
Did you get a reply regarding your inquiry?
Thanks

Difficult to comment without a bit of code sample...

I did a strategy with Unirenko in the past and high/low was accessible
maybe it's the version of your unirenko ? or your code ?

Having the same issue. In real time and replay it's good, but when I reload it looks the Holy Grail of Trading
What can I add to strategy that so that it reads that accurately historically.
I've seen the hybrid renko. Is it a matter of changing the actual bars or can code be added to address. Thanks

I may be off base on this, but as I understand your problem since you are looking for a unirenko reversal, you already know how far price needs to move off the setup for a qualifying price move, so can you just place a trailing stop order?
