Post From: historical data downloading and real-time chart updating

Please understand, that the changes we have made that you made reference to, and what you discussed in the PDF document are 100% unrelated to each other.

There are two possibilities to what you have described. Either you are using one of the Renko studies (are you?) rather than the Renko setting in Chart Settings, or there is an inconsistency between historical data and the real-time data. The second case is very possible when using FXCM FIX Trading and it is not something we have any easy control over.

Although there may be some differences with the historical data compared to the real-time data, does not necessarily mean though, that this will affect Renko bars because the differences we see is in the frequency of price updates but not with the prices themselves. Unless there is something else going on that we are not aware of.

There is also a question as to when the first Renko bar in the chart begins to build. Is this different between the comparisons. There is no need to answer this for us. The question is more for you.

In the end, if you are using the Renko studies, then please do not ask us for any further support on that because you should not be using those studies. And they should eventually be removed from the software.
