Refined filters in Renko EA version 2

Image
The second iteration of the open source Renko EA* has a set of more refined filters which can be used for the entries or exits.  The power of linear regression lines used as filters The linear regression lines seem to be doing a very good job in filtering out ranges and pullbacks. This eliminateds most of the false entry signals that would normally be taken durrign consolidation periods after a strong move as well as those pesky pullback traps. The Turbo Renko chart shown below illustrates how a set of two linear regression lines MA2 (blue) and MA3 (white) work as filters for the 2 consecutive renko entry signals. MA1 is used as an exit filter. The settings of MA2 on the renko chart are: Show the second MA:  Yes  2nd MA draw as  Line 2nd MA period:  86 2nd MA method:  Linear regression 2nd MA apply to  Close price 2nd MA shift:  0 2nd MA show price label:  No The settings of MA3 on the renko chart are: Third second MA:  Yes  3rd MA draw as  Line 3rd MA period:  20 3rd MA method:  Linea

Open Source Renko EA for Metatrader 5

Image
Several years ago, I decided to start an open-source EA (Expert Advisor) project to facilitate automated trading on various renko charts. The project is FREE and open-source, so other traders can help tweak the trading robot and submit improvement ideas. Please note that you will need a robust renko charting add-on for the 5th version of Metatrader. You can download the Ultimate Renko charting software from my website at https://www.az-invest.eu/ultimate-renko-indicator-generator-for-metatrader-5 . This version already ships with the latest version of the EA's source code, so you don't need to worry about grabbing it from GitHub, installing the SDK, and compiling the EA. Additionally, you have access to standard renko charts as well as all of the exotic variations. Alternatively, you may use a different renko solution, but you will need to modify the source code of the EA accordingly. The complete source code for the project is available on my GitHub page .
