Frequently Asked Questions

Short answers to common Renko questions.

What is the best Renko brick size?
There is no single best brick size because every market has different volatility. A common approach is ATR(14) multiplied by a factor between 0.8 and 1.2. Use the free Google Sheets calculator to compare different sizes and see how the chart changes.
