MedianRenko should not be used. It has some flaws, the original author told everyone to stop using it.

Better Renko is the better alternative. All the details are here:

What is the difference in the regular Renko charts and the Median Renko charts

When Median Renko was developed, I believe the concept was to draw subsequent bars at the 'middle' or "median" of the prior bar, but it never worked as it was intended. I used MedianRenko successfully for awhile, then switched to RenkoHybrid, which was developed by futures.io (formerly BMT)'s very own Rjay!

Rjay developed his version which he is calling RenkoHybrid and it DOES work properly.

Here is a comparison of the regular Ninja-provided Renko and Rjay's RenkoHybrid, so you can clearly see the difference and advantage to using the Renko Hybrid (with tails!).

I have used them for the past year and find them to be easier to use than Range or Renko.

If you're interested, I'm sure he would give you a "trial" to try them out.

You can find them here: Home

And if you want something REALLY COOL - check out the ChannelTrend bars ! ! ! ! ! ! !
No indicators necessary !!!!!!!

After all, it's what you learn AFTER you know it all, that counts!

Mike,

Sorry, I don't have BetterRenko installed so I can't make that comparison. Perhaps someone who has it installed could make that comparison for us.

RJay has all the various Renko comparisons up on his website.
