Renko charts help determine the trend, indicate important support or resistance levels.
You can work with them in the same way as with regular bar or candlestick charts.
Renko chart is an excellent filtering of small price movements,
it presents the usual candlestick chart as a sequence of up and down trends, practically without a flat.
This fact greatly simplifies the perception of the graph.
Renko chart also gives us trend reversal signals. Changing the color of the bricks is a reason to believe that the trend has changed.
In addition, the Renko chart allows you to quickly and easily find strong support and resistance levels.
They are simply plotted along the tops and bottoms of the Renko chart.
Renko bricks are formed at the closing prices, which means that only after the candle closes, we know how many bricks will form and in which direction,
bullish or bearish. This is one of the reasons why it is customary to build Renko charts based on minute charts.
