Renko Reversal Signals after Consecutive Bricks

Summary

This short term strategy looks for a color reversal in Renko bricks after two preceding bricks share a color. A bullish brick after bearish bricks signals a long, while a bearish brick after bullish bricks signals a short. Entries may use market or stop orders, and take profit and stop loss distances are tied to brick size through a configurable multiplier. The source notes that orders are placed on the next candle, so the signal’s brick close may differ from the execution price.

The published backtest settings cover a short period in September 2023 on Bitcoin futures with hourly bars and a 15 minute base period; no performance statistics are provided. The document says brick size affects profit, drawdown, and time in trade, and warns that signals require consecutive bricks, trend duration is uncertain, and repeated stop outs can occur. Claims of steady or strong returns are not supported by reported evidence, so parameter tuning and realistic execution assumptions need independent evaluation.
