📊 What is Renko EA?
The Renko Brick EA is an advanced automated trading system that creates real-time Renko charts directly on your standard MT5 charts. It eliminates time-based noise and focuses purely on price movement, trading only when a specified number of consecutive bricks form in the same direction.

❓ FAQ
Q: What timeframe should I use?
A: Any timeframe works (M1, M5, H1, etc.). The EA creates Renko bricks based on price movement, not time. Lower timeframes update more frequently.
Q: Can I run multiple EAs on different charts?
A: Yes! Use different Magic Numbers for each chart to keep trades separate.
Q: What's the difference between LotSize and RiskPercent?
A: Set LotSize > 0 for fixed lots (e.g., 0.01). Set LotSize = 0 to use RiskPercent for automatic position sizing based on your account balance.
Q: Why aren't my trades opening?
A: Check: 1) AutoTrading is enabled, 2) Spread isn't too high, 3) You're within trading hours (if time filter enabled), 4) You have enough consecutive bricks.
Q: Can I use this on indices/stocks/crypto?
A: Yes! Just adjust the BrickSize parameter appropriately for your instrument (larger for indices, smaller for forex).
