Post From: New Universal Renko Bar Changes

Support, I did what you requested and double checked my settings to the instructions you linked.

First, my basic Renko settings did not change from the previous version to the current version (in the case of the GC chart I posted) 4 tick bar, 2 tick offset and 6 tick reversal (see attached image). I've changed back and forth a dozen times now between version 1620 and 1624 comparing the bars and they just do not form the same way.

Secondly, if you look at the image below which I took on version 1624 to show my current settings, you can see the extra bars formed in the upper left that I've circled. Compare that image to the 1620 version I posted earlier. You can see the additional bars created in 1624 that do not exist in 1620 in both circled areas.

Lastly, this time when I went into my chart settings after reloading version 1624, I selected CandleStick Bars under Graph Draw Type which I hadn't done after you applied the changes the other day when the bars would just disappear after updating to the Pre-release when you first removed the Renko with Wicks selection. THIS time when I selected Candlestick Bars the physical weight of the painted Renko Bars DID change slightly the look of each individual bar. Before I did that they were heavier or wider. Selecting the CandleStick Bar removed a pixel or 2 and they look typical in appearance to what I expect each candle to look like. Again, this changed the look of each bar, but did not change the way the bars are formed or painted on the chart. In image 2 and 3 I've attached a chart to show the fatter bars in the first image and after applying CandleStick bars in the second image showing the thinner bars as they normally are. Just FYI

Is there another setting we're potentially missing that I'm unaware of that might affect this? I expect slight differences between different platforms based on data feed etc, but this goes beyond that since I'm comparing it to different versions of the same platform.

Thanks much
