Renko Open-Close Crossovers with Trailing Exits

Summary

This strategy builds traditional Renko values using a configurable brick size, then plots Renko opens and closes over a standard candle chart. It enters long when the Renko close crosses above the Renko open and short when it crosses below. Each entry receives a trailing exit, with the trail distance set by an input. The rules are restricted to bars after the specified date condition.

The document gives the script and its inputs but no systematic performance analysis. Its comments include conflicting user reports: one says Renko repaints heavily, while another makes an unsupported earnings claim. Because Renko bars are constructed from price movement rather than fixed time intervals, signals can change as price data develops; the document itself provides no method for controlling that behavior. Brick size, trailing distance, chart data, and execution assumptions may all affect results, so the crossover logic should not be treated as evidence of profitability.

Key ideas

• The strategy derives Renko open and close series from a traditional brick construction.
• A close crossing above the Renko open triggers a long entry, while a crossing below triggers a short entry.
• Both directions use a configurable trailing exit.
• The displayed Renko series are overlaid on a regular candle chart.
• The document raises repainting concerns and provides no controlled performance evidence.
