Adaptive Renko Strategy

This strategy builds an adaptive Renko grid where the brick size follows market volatility measured by the Average True Range (ATR) indicator. A trade is executed whenever price travels a full brick in either direction.

Logic

  • ATR is calculated over a configurable VolatilityPeriod.
  • The brick size equals ATR * Multiplier but cannot be less than MinBrickSize.
  • When price rises above the previous brick by at least one brick size, the strategy buys (closing short positions if needed).
  • When price falls below the previous brick by at least one brick size, the strategy sells (closing long positions if needed).

Parameters

  • Volume – order volume.
  • VolatilityPeriod – period used for ATR.
  • Multiplier – coefficient applied to ATR.
  • MinBrickSize – minimal allowed brick size in price units.
  • CandleType – timeframe for ATR calculation.

Timeframe

  • Default: 4 hours.
