  but its stopping sometimes and I dont know why

  What stop message is IG showing you?

  Usually the Renko’s stop due to Stop Loss being less than minimum stop allowed by IG?

  I got that problem too. Posted in an existing (old) topic this problem. No info at the rejected/canceled  tab. Annoying, since it makes the results unstable.

  Im running 1s on both demo and live they are doing so many different trades. Sometimes live doesnt take the trade demo does and vice versa. Thats wierd.

  This is what i’am testing. It provided some nice profits before, now it doesn’t look good in a backtest.

  Goal is more to have consistent opening-trades from the backtest & live.

  I removed a few lines which defined renkomax/min and didn’t expect it would work but it did.

  Do you start the System on both Backyest and Live at same time?

  If No … might differences between Backtest  and Live be due to brick size being counted / measured from different starting points??

  yeah understand what y’re saying and you are right. This version is a bit different and give me somewhat hope 🙂 Here’s today so far.

  What I see now in the screenshot, left it’s defined as exit at 9.06.55 and on the right as entry. Why is that?  There was no market position before that.

  @Francesco  biggest reason is different market behaviour as to when the market opens. When it opens its seems harder to get good results, maybe indeed one cause is volatility.

  Hi Franro

  It’s tough. Yesterday I did, today not so much!

  With removing some parts defining “once” the renkoboxes, It seems to have stable results for the entry live compared to the backtest (when the system wasn’t stopped). That was the goal.

  It’s running from 26 april and still +/-500 profit. While it doesn’t show in the backtest, for the moment it didn’t break down completely, which is often the case on fast timeframes.

  But it’s not good enough.  New idea’s are welcome!

  profits are gone. A really bad day!

  Still every entry is the same as the entry in the backtest. So maybe there’s a basis for ML.

  I wanna share my own version of an automated renko system: it’s a breakout system based on a Nicolas’ code and using ATR trailing stop seen here.

  These are the result in live demo and in the first week of real account, on Dow 5s…

  There doesn’t seem much interest in a fast timeframe anymore.

  One part in your code I didn’t like and that’s using the average renkobox. Somehow it slows down backtesting a lot or is doesn’t load. I removed that part.

  I inserted a breakeven do lower the maximum losses and the more recent atr trailingstop. Maybe somehow pivots can be used here. Thanks for posting your version!
