Renko Box Chart Overlay by BD

This is Renko chart overlay for Candles chart. You can use it to identify market direction and potential key points.
To use it simply select box size and any timeframe you want.

With this overlay you can be sure that you'll see every brick on a chart showing general market direction with all the details of a candles chart.

Alternatives Renko overlay charts:

If you don't have access to 1s timeframe or you don't want to use low TF here is the situation with built in Renko chart on 5m TF:

Let me know if you want to see any additions.
