Renko offline time frame

New comment
 
What is the difference between M2 and M7 off line charts for example? I compared the two and seem to be identical..
 
Maybe because Renko neglects time ?

yes, I know this but my question is when I open offline charts with a tool that convert regular data in renko bricks, i can choose M2, M7 or other "time frame" but what is actually the difference from M2 and M7 offline chart for example?
 

Not much for a Renko chart because it doesn't use time.

It draws bricks on pip movement so there isn't really a time frame like you see in regular charts.

It depends, I try to explain in a very simple way.


Let's suppose in a bar of  M8(instead of M7 to make it easier) we have a 90 pips bullish bar (from 1.1000 to 1.1090)
In RENKO we use for example a 10 pip brick heigth


In renko graph we will see 9 up bars (in TF M8)

The M8Bar contains 4 bars of M2. Let's suppose the bars have these height: 40 up,20 down,10 down,80 up

In renko graph we will see 4 up bars,2 down,9 up (in TF M2)

In offline mode, only OHLC values are used to draw bars, so a short Timeframe gives more details in a ranko graph but bars could not be enough depending of how many past bars you want to see and the brick height.

Thanks very much, now it is much more clear.
