How It Works:
Inputs:
Box Size (box_size): The size of a Renko brick (in price units).
Candle and Wick Colors: Users can customize colors for up and down candles and toggle wicks on or off.
Logic:
The script tracks the renko_open, renko_close, renko_high, and renko_low variables to simulate the formation of Renko bricks.
A new Renko brick is formed when the price moves up or down by the specified box size.
Candle Plotting:
The plotcandle function is used to draw the simulated Renko bricks on the chart.
Wicks are optional and controlled via the show_wicks input.
Visual Guides:
Two lines represent the thresholds for forming the next up or down Renko brick.
Features:
Real-Time Updates:
Bricks dynamically update as the live price moves.
Customizable Parameters:
Box size, candle colors, and wicks can be tailored to user preferences.
Overlay on Regular Chart:
The Renko simulation overlays the existing candlestick chart, providing context for real-time price action.
Threshold Levels:
Visual guides show how far the current price is from forming the next Renko brick.
Usage Instructions:
Copy and paste the script into the Pine Script editor in TradingView.
Customize the box size and colors to your preference.
Apply the indicator to your chart to visualize the Renko simulation in real time.
Applications:
Trend Analysis:
Renko bricks simplify price trends by filtering out minor fluctuations.
Entry/Exit Points:
Use Renko bricks as potential trade triggers when new bricks form.
Volatility Visualization:
The frequency of brick formation reflects the asset's volatility.
This code provides a live Renko simulation overlay that can be further customized based on user needs. Let me know if you'd like additional features, such as alerts or enhanced visualizations! 😊
