Renko Advanced

This Renko Advanced indicator can be considered as a trading system.

The indicator offers a different view to see the currency pair: it is a full  timeless indicator and it can be used for manual trading or for automatized trading with some expert advisor. When the price reaches a threshold a new block is created.

It offers less noise than usual candles bar.

The user can decide how to calculate the bars.

The indicator beside the Renko bars, shows also 3 moving averages.

Push notification was introduced when a new bar is created or a cross between moving averages occurs.

This feature is very useful for using the indicator with an EA.

PS2: if nothing is displayed, check input parameter. For low TF it could be needed to turn off the Sync feature

Strongly raccomanded to switch TF before starting(for example if you are in 30M. switch to 15M and then 30M again) to allow refreshing data at the beginning.

Introduced: datetime for renko bars and wicks.

If you want to display easily the difference between the 2 moving averages, you can try the RenkoMACD indicator.

How to use
