![]() ![]() The two charts above cover a six-month timeframe, but the Renko chart sports an irregular date axis and the price action is less choppy. Alternatively, if the S&P 500 declined from 1840 to 1830, a new Renko brick would be drawn and it would be solid, or black in this example. This brick would extend from 1840 to 1850 and be hollow, or white in this example. ![]() ![]() If the S&P 500 then advanced to 1850 the very next day, a new Renko brick would be drawn because the entire move was at least 10 points. Using the S&P 500 10-point Renko chart as an example, a new Renko brick would not be drawn if the S&P 500 were at 1840 and advanced 9 points to 1849. Price movements less than 10 points would be ignored and the Renko chart would remain unchanged. If the brick value is set at 10 points, a move of 10 points or more is required to draw another brick. Renko charts ignore the time aspect and only focus on price changes. This is because there is one data point per day or week. A regular bar, line or candlestick chart has a uniform date axis with equally spaced days, weeks and months. Convert the closing price to rising and falling rounded bricksÄown = 1 // By default the first bar is a down bar.Renko charts are based on bricks with a fixed value that filters out smaller price movements. ![]() Brick size is dependant on what you want, if too small will not produce a chart due to insufficient x-axis bars Prices have to rise or fall "significantly" in order for bricks to be added. It's also important to remember that Renko charts may not change for several time periods. The Renko chart will give the impression that prices stopped at 100. For example, for a 5-point chart, if prices rise from 98 to 102, the hollow brick that goes from 95 to 100 is added to the chart BUT the hollow brick that goes from 100 to 105 is NOT DRAWN. Again, new bricks are only added when prices completely "fill" the brick. It's important to note that prices may exceed the top (or bottom) of the current brick. Bricks are always with their corners touching and no more than one brick may occupy each chart column. Only one type of brick can be added per time period. Black bricks are added if prices are falling. Hollow bricks are added if prices are rising. If prices move more than the Brick Size above the top (or below the bottom) of the last brick on the chart, a new brick is added in the next chart column. Renko charts have a pre-determined "Brick Size" that is used to determine when new bricks are added to the chart. The filled and hollow squares that make up a Renko chart are often referred to as "bricks." Renko charts were popularized by Steve Nison ![]()
