Renko Chart Levels and Brick Size on MetaTrader 5

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

The document describes an indicator that draws Renko bars on a MetaTrader 5 chart. For the current price, it calculates three nearby levels: a ceiling, a rounded level, and a floor. The gaps between adjacent levels equal the configured brick size, so the input setting determines the spacing of the Renko levels.

It also explains a chart display option: bringing the regular price chart to the foreground makes price visible over the Renko bricks. This is a brief description of how the indicator’s levels and display setting work, not a trading system. It gives no rules for entering or exiting positions, no evidence about performance, and no discussion of how brick size should be selected or how Renko bars behave in different market conditions.
