Renko Strategy created using Strategy Wizard does not work

[satejchaudhary]

hi,

I used the strategy wizard to create a very simple strategy using the Renko3.lua indicator found at viewtopic.php?f=17&t=2360.

The strategy lua file is attached. However when I attempt to backtest the strategy two things happen
1. If I give a large window of say 2 months to backtest I get the error - Index out of range
2. If I change the back testing time window to a couple days - Marketscope gets stuck at the "Preparing for Backtesting" stage and after a few minutes gives a request time out error.

Can you please point out what is wrong in this code? Specifically
1. What do we need to do so that we can backtest over a large time period
2. What changes need to be made to the attached .lua file


The strategy is
1. If Renko(0) > Renko(1) and Renko(2)> Renko(1) - then close SELL open BUY
2. If Renko(0) > Renko(1) and Renko(2)> Renko(1) - then close BUY open SELL

Here Renko(0) = current price, Renko(1) = price one brick previous, Renko(2) = price 2 bricks previous.

Your request is added to the development list.
This is expected.
Renko indicator do not give classic Data output.
As such, is not recognized by strategy.
Hardcoding is required.

Thanks for pointing that out Apprentice.

Just to speed things up, can you share in the ExtUpdate function, how do I access the current brick values in the Renko indicator stream? I can attempt to build the strategy myself then.


Thanks
