This version of the renko indicator for prorealtime, adds the Volume information to allow or not the construction of new brick.
I introduced several “experimental” parameters to adapt the indicator to the displayed instrument.

Renko bricks can be built using a fixed point size defined by the “boxsize” parameter, a new brick will be built only if the volume of exchanges has been at least greater than the “volumesize” parameter since the last brick .
These settings being very strict, I added an automatic feature for a more convenient adaptation to each instrument and timeframe. Thus, the parameters “autoRenko” and “autoVolume” allow a more ‘user friendly’ approach:
_ autoRenko means automatic renko brick size based on 2 time ATR periods.
_ autoVolume means automatic volume size to allow new brick or not (override the “volumesize” setting), based on average of Volumes.

It is possible or not to “paint” the background of the graph according to the trend identified by the reversal of the bricks (parameter ‘showBG’).

This indicator is experimental and I invite you to discuss it in case you have ideas for improvement or concrete use in this topic of the forum: New Renko System
