Renko Brick Reversals as Long and Short Signals

Summary

This document presents a simple Renko reversal alert based on the relationship between recent candle opens and closes. A long signal occurs when the current close exceeds the prior bar’s open and the preceding bar is bearish relative to the open two bars back. A short signal applies the inverse comparison after a bullish bar. The script marks signals on the chart, supports alerts, and submits long or short strategy entries.

The published settings show a four-hour chart period with fifteen-minute base data for BTC perpetual futures over approximately one year. These are configuration details, not reported backtest findings: the document includes no returns, trade statistics, or discussion of costs. The rule is presented as an alert and entry pattern, with no explicit stop, position sizing, or exit criteria beyond the opposite signal. Results may depend on how Renko bars are constructed and on execution assumptions.

Key ideas

• The long rule looks for a bullish reversal after a bearish Renko move using recent open and close values.
• The short rule mirrors the long condition after a bullish move.
• The script plots arrows, allows server-side alerts, and enters positions in the signal direction.
• The published configuration uses BTC futures and four-hour bars based on fifteen-minute data.
• No performance results, position-sizing rules, or explicit stop criteria are provided.
