ProRenko Bars
Summary
SiProRenko is the first multi-mode hybrid Renko bar for NinjaTrader. It generates the standard median Renko chart that has become a favorite among day traders. It’s attraction and popularity is due to the wave like style, that smooths out price action and minimizes “the chop”. Simple to follow and easy on the eyes.

This image show the differences with (NinjaTrader 7) Sync mode OFF vs. Sync mode ON. Sync mode is now built into NinjaTrader 8 as Break at EOD.
The top chart above is built with these settings. B: 5 T:2 R:9 S:Off
B: shows the Brick size value.
T: shows the New Trend Bar value.
R: shows the number of ticks price must reverse to create a reversal bar. This value is calculated automatically.
S: Shows Sync Bars Daily value. S is only in NT 7. NT 8 has this parameter built-in, called Break at EOD.
The SiProRenko will calculate correctly when the Brick size is smaller than the New Trend Bar value, creating some interesting results.
