🟢 Overview
ATR-based Renko charts are often labeled “adaptive”—but do they really offer smarter signals than fixed-size bricks?
In this video, I walk through a direct comparison between ATR-based Renko and fixed-size Renko using side-by-side chart examples, strategy tester results in TradingView, and real-world logic.
If you’ve ever wondered which is better for filtering noise, spotting trends, or building your own system—this is for you.
📊 Backtest Summary: ATR vs. Fixed Renko
| Metric | ATR-Based Renko | Fixed-Size Renko |
|---|---|---|
| Entry Timing | Slower | Faster |
| Noise Filtering | Better | Moderate |
| Trend Reversal Signal | Slightly Delayed | More Responsive |
| Suitability | Swing trading | Day trading |
🧠 Key Takeaways
- ATR-based Renko isn’t “better”—it’s different.
- It adapts to past volatility, which can smooth charts but delay signals.
- Fixed-size Renko gives you predictability and easier rule-based testing.
- Pro tip: Use ATR for exploration. Use fixed-size bricks for execution.

📌 Conclusion
So, is ATR-based Renko really better?
It depends on your goals. If you want to reduce noise and emphasize larger moves, ATR has value. If you want sharper signals and tighter control, fixed-size charts win out.
