Add EA onto Renko Chart(EA)?

New comment
 

Hello here is my next question^^

This time this could interest more people: Renkocharts are very easy to handle for beginners and seem to be a pretty save thing in slow markets.

However i wanted to try my own EA´s on a renko because i think that could be interesting aswell.

But sadly this is not possible: I use the RenkoChart EA build by Tim Welch: https://www.mql5.com/en/code/11739

When i open the offline Chart everything is fine and seems to work. I can adjust my templates etc.

But when i add my EA´s they just don´t work. On the normal Chart they work pretty well and also on other offline Charts. But on this offline Chart produced by the ea it´s just not working.

Well my question now: Is this Problem caused by the fact that i already use an ea on one Chart and mt4 doesn´t want me to use another one, even if it´s technically on another Chart (offline)?

Or is there something i have to add on my ea to make it work? Or can i just use an Renko Indicator and not an Renko EA?


Would be very, very helpful


Best regards

  1. "Doesn't work" is meaningless - just like saying the car doesn't work. Doesn't start, won't go in gear, no electrical, missing the key, flat tires - meaningless. There are no mind readers here.
  2. We can't see your broken code; there are no mind readers here.

It´s nothing special and i want it to use on renko charts. But somehow no ea works when i add it on rengo charts. As is said, i use the rengo chart from Tim Welch (Link above).


Hope you can help me out.

 
Try other Renko script, there are plenty of them.
