How do Renko bars applied to price chart work with ACSIL? Specifically, will GetBarHasClosedStatus() still work with Renko bars study?

Thanks,

An ACSIL study has access to the Renko bars through the sc.BaseData[][] arrays just like if they are standard bars.

GetBarHasClosedStatus() will work. There are no special considerations.

That is good. But we do not always respond that quickly. Generally a fast response can be given to something that is relatively easy.

Depending upon what is asked and if something requires more review and research, it could be that we do not get back to it until the next day.

hehe, perhaps I've been asking easy questions. A follow up question then, is there a way from ACSIL study to determine whether closed renko bar was green or red?

hehe, perhaps I've been asking easy questions. Will this hold true when using the old Renko study? I'm testing my strategy and see behavior that are very different from what I programmed it for and the results of bar vs replay back tests are vastly different.
Are there any special considerations I need to take into account?

Hi

take a look here : http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/doc_ACSIL_Members_Variables_And_Arrays.html#scBaseDataIn
at the end there is :


If you are using this array in your study function, you must set sc.MaintainAdditionalChartDataArrays to 1 in the sc.SetDefaults code block.

sc.BaseData[SC_RENKO_OPEN]: In the case of a Renko chart set through Chart >> Chart Settings, this array provides the Renko Open price. This array is used to draw the Renko bar body.
sc.BaseData[SC_RENKO_CLOSE]: In the case of a Renko chart set through Chart >> Chart Settings, this array provides the Renko Close price. This array is used to draw the Renko bar body.

We do not provide support for the old Renko studies.

It sounds like you want to compare the Renko bar Open to the Close values. Details about this are here:
