How the example works
1. Incoming BID ticks are passed to an internal classic Renko builder with a two-brick reversal rule.
2. ADX, +DI and -DI are updated only after a Renko brick is completed.
3. ADX is used as a strength filter.
4. +DI / -DI define the allowed trade direction.
5. A new trade can be opened only when the newest completed brick confirms the same direction and the required Renko run is present.
6. An opposite DI direction can request an exit. Virtual TP, SL and maximum holding time provide additional exits.

The defaults are included only to make the source code immediately testable. This is a historical educational example, not evidence of a persistent trading edge or future profitability. Results depend on symbol specification, tick history, spread, execution and broker conditions.
Implementation notes
- Completed Renko bricks only are used for ADX/DI calculations and signals.
- No intra-brick entry signal is generated.
- A large incoming tick can complete several bricks; they are processed sequentially and only the newest completed state can produce the final entry signal on that tick.
- Requested volume is normalized to the symbol minimum, maximum and volume step.
- Trading-session checks prevent repeated requests while the market is closed.
- Due exits remain pending until a valid trading session is available.
- One position is allowed on the symbol and duplicate requests are blocked.
- TP and SL are virtual, so the terminal and EA must remain running.
