Greetings, I just discovered Renko bars for Forex trading yesterday. I thought they looked so good, and did a backtest just going long on blue and short on red. Perfect system! 1600 pips in just one month. Then I discovered that they are not an actual representation of the market, as the market has wicks. So if we are in long and set an order to go short at the first down bar, we may actually get filled and taken out of our long, when the Renko bricks are still showing long.

Now I see this thread and I see 2 different methods presented: BetterRenko and LogicRenko. Can anyone suggest which one to use in order to trade Forex on MT4? And what things do these methods do that traditional Renko bars do not?

Thank you.

Hi Dreamliner,

I can say the LogikRenko isn't available for MT4, only NT.

Separate from that, there are two important pieces to get accurate backtest results.

1. You need the wicks.
2. The renko bar cannot plot reversal bricks in the traditional method. Meaning, when a brick changes from green to red, the opening price of the red bar should be at the prior green bars closing price. If the red opening price is at the prior green open price (traditional), the back test engine will likely get fooled and use this price, even thought the market doesn't truly move in that manner.

So, no matter which renko you use for MT4, make sure this is the case if you want accurate results.

Just some food for thought.

Thank you for the very quick reply.

Regarding needing the wicks, do you mean for backtesting, live trading, or both? And where to get them? I assume either the Logic or Better, correct? I've done a search to look for "Renkos with Wicks" but cannot find any.

I can use NT I believe. Would prefer to just use on Demo, any idea where to sign up for a Demo account that provides a NT platform? I use Oanda to trade and only use MT4 for analysis, so I could use NT instead of MT4 for that.

I can, of course, keep looking for these two things. Just wanting to know if anyone has the answers already and could save me some time.

Thank you again.

Hey Dreamliner,

The wick requirement is mainly for backtesting. In real-time a strategy "should" be smart enough to use the true price.

I know you can get the BetterRenko on this forum for free. Just search BetterRenko.
The LogikRenko is not free however. The main difference between the two is the ability to change the display of the bar per your taste, as well as some other features such as auto bricksize determination and tick filtering.

If you want to learn about the LogikRenko, just check out my website. I suggest you try the BetterRenko which is free first to see if it suites your needs.

Wonderful, will do. I just found your website, too, so will look there as well.

Now if anyone has any ideas where to get a NT platform, for free, I'd appreciate it. I'm searching the web for that too.

Dream,

Did you go to their website? There is an excessively large banner for a free download...

I'm there as we speak!

Now I have NT, and just reading your site, and should be all set up soon.

Thank you again for all the helpful information on this thread. Also, I do appreciate the attempts to keep these threads positive. I just signed up today and got the "intro" email from "Big Mike" and appreciate the statements to keep the threads positive. I got so tired of the negativity.

Anyway, I'm on my way to examine LogicRenko soon!

I happened to stumble across this website from a NT email announcing new third party partners. Although I wasn't interested in indicators, the LogikRenko--their offering of an improved version of the classic Renko--was intriguing.

Like many of you, I have tried and tested every bar out there to improve my performance of manual and automated strategies. The Renko and its derivatives are helpful with discretionary methods but fail terribly in auto strategies. Great backtests, lousy live.

Anyway, I started an email dialog with Anthony, the developer of PureLogik (who was most helpful and generous with his time and no hard sell) and decided to try the LogikRenko bricks in a couple of autotrade systems. In fact, I spent all of last week testing them in real time. I ran the strategies in an A-B mode with one using a variety of Renkos and the other with PureLogik.

Although I need to test further, my initial reaction with PureLogik is most favorable. The live fills are virtually identical to market replay with variance no more than one tick. The other Renkos, not surprisingly, performed poorly.

I've attached the white paper.

Hi was interested in reading about the Renkos and went to the link but was no longer there. May you have a copy on pdf?
Thanks.

Any one try out this new bar type LogikUltimateRenko from purelogik?
There's so much discussion on renko bars, I wonder if anyone has tried this one?

I took the plunge, and looks good so far.
Here are some charts of the TF from last Thurs and Fri PST time zone.
He has some details on his web page on how the bars plot.
The charts below represents 100% and 200% reversal percentage.

So just wondering if anyone else has tried these new bars out.
