Are there any known Blocks Programmers out there that will set up the program for a fee?

While we won't set up Blocks for you, the trainers will do our best to teach you how to use Blocks so you can set it up as desired (for free). You may wish to review the following:

Bruce or Craig:  Has anyone set up Renko charts for Blocks yet?  I sure would like to be able to use them.

glmus,
I have created two possible interpretations of a Renko Chart for Blocks. The first specifies the Brick Size as the difference between the top and bottom of the Brick.

Select Share | Charts.
Type Renko Net and select Search.
Select the Renko Net Chart.
Select Open.

The second specifies the Brick Size as the Percent difference between the top and bottom of the Brick.

Select Share | Charts.
Type Renko Percent and select Search.
Select the Renko Percent Chart.
Select Open.

Thank you so much for sharing this Bruce.

Is there any way the Brick Size can be adjusted according to the ATR?

marco808,
I have created an interpretation of a Renko Chart where the BrickSize is specified as the ATR Times a fixed Value.

Select Share | Charts.
Type Renko ATR and select Search.
Select the Renko ATR Chart.
Select Open.

It really isn't a Renko Chart in that the BrickSize is not fixed. It also doesn't work very well as switching symbols will frequently cause the Date Scale of the current symbol to not display in the currently selected Date Scale Range. I've attempted a small fix for Charts scrolled all the way to the right in that it Plots the current Value as a flat bar for the current date to force the Chart to have a "bar" for the current date, but this makes it even less "Renko-like". This fix also doesn't have an effect when the problem is that the left portion of the Date Scale Range goes beyond the Date Scale of the current symbol.
