I’ve been using renko charts in Kite/Pi but they seem to fluctuate a lot with nifty/bank nifty. Sometimes we see that renko brick gets created but vanishes after sometime. What’s the correct brick size on 10 min timeframe?
Can someone also help with a better renko code in amibroker? I tried the following but it’s not showing up the trend properly.
