Professional Renko Chart MT5
Professional Renko Chart MT5 is a clean MetaTrader 5 Renko chart indicator designed to display Renko bricks in a separate indicator window, with optional Renko box visualization directly on the main price chart.
The indicator is built for traders who want a familiar Renko chart style inside MetaTrader 5, similar to the Renko chart visualization available on popular modern charting platforms such as TradingView. It converts normal time-based candles into Renko bricks and displays the result in a simple, clear, and practical format.
Several normal chart candles may create one Renko brick. Professional Renko Chart MT5 can also show Renko boxes on the main price chart and display how many normal candles were used to form each Renko brick.
This indicator is not an Expert Advisor. It does not open, close, or manage trades. It is a visual charting and market-analysis tool only. It can be used for manual analysis, Renko-based chart reading, trend observation, price movement filtering, and market structure review.

How It Works
Professional Renko Chart MT5 reads the price data from the current chart and creates Renko bricks only when the selected box-size condition is completed.
For example, if the Traditional box size is set to 10.0, a new Renko brick is created only after the price moves enough to complete that box size. Depending on the market movement, one normal candle may create no Renko brick, one Renko brick, or several Renko bricks.
The separate Renko chart helps reduce the noise of normal time-based candles and focuses more on price movement. The optional main-chart Renko boxes help users understand exactly where each Renko brick was created on the original price chart.
Input Settings
Renko Settings
Box Size Assignment
Selects the Renko box size calculation method.
Available methods:
Average True Range
Uses ATR to calculate the Renko box size dynamically.
Traditional Fixed Box Size
Uses a fixed box size entered by the user.
Percentage LTP
Calculates the Renko box size as a percentage of the latest traded price.
Source
Selects which price source is used for Renko calculation.
Close
Uses candle close prices for Renko construction.
OHLC
Uses candle open, high, low, and close movement for Renko construction.
Traditional Box Size
Sets the fixed Renko box size in price units when Traditional mode is selected.
Example: on XAUUSD, 5.0 means a 5-dollar Renko box.
ATR Length
Sets the ATR period used when the ATR box size method is selected.
Percentage
Sets the percentage value used when Percentage LTP mode is selected.
Round Box To Tick
If enabled, the box size is rounded to the symbol tick size for cleaner price alignment.

If the related candles are outside the visible chart area, the main chart automatically moves so that the related candle area becomes visible near the center of the chart.

If enabled, alerts can also be triggered by projection bricks. If disabled, alerts are triggered only by confirmed Renko bricks.
Important Notes
Professional Renko Chart MT5 is a technical analysis indicator only. It does not provide financial advice and does not guarantee any trading result. Renko charts can help visualize price movement, but trading decisions should always be based on the user’s own analysis, risk management, and testing.
The indicator does not trade automatically. It does not open positions, close positions, manage stop loss, manage take profit, or control account risk.
For best results, test different box-size settings on the symbol and timeframe you trade, because each market has different volatility and price behavior.
