The indicators feature an input parameter 'step' for the brick size in points, defaulting to 250. The indicator automatically aligns and constructs based on 'round' levels, with levels rounded according to the brick size.
For aesthetic purposes, the 'step' parameter can be chosen to fit multiples of figures like 50, 100, 125, 200, 250, or 500, which are good choices. The indicator will function with other values as well.
The second indicator is drawn on the visible chart area. By disabling auto-scroll and moving the chart, you can correlate price chart data with Renko chart data.
Renko charts can be drawn with or without wicks, controlled by an input parameter.
The 'revers' parameter defines how many bricks the price must move back for a reverse brick to be displayed. For classic Renko, 'revers' is set to 2. You can now experiment with this parameter to achieve various Renko modifications.
The arrow on the right edge indicates the current price.
