How it works
- A slow Renko stream defines the current direction.
- A fast Renko stream provides the entry trigger.
- Both streams use classic two-brick reversal logic and are built internally from BID ticks.
- A trade is allowed only when the fast and slow Renko directions agree.
- The position is closed by a short price target, stop, opposite fast Renko reversal, or maximum holding time.
- After an exit, a short Renko cooldown is applied before another entry.
- Only one position on the symbol is allowed.
- A simple spread filter blocks entries when the spread is too large relative to the fast brick.

The example above is a historical demonstration. The default parameters were selected for this demonstration and are not evidence of a persistent trading edge, a recommendation, or a promise of future profitability.
The chart timeframe is only a host. Renko construction is driven by incoming ticks, not by M1 bars.
No external libraries, DLLs, indicators, custom symbols or offline Renko charts are required.
