I use 5 tick renkos and i need the open and close of my flex renko bars to align to prices that are multiples of 5. What im getting right now is a bar opens at say 1.1454 and closes at 1.1459 or open at 1.1453 and closes at 1.1458, etc. And it differs depending on the chart. I need the opens to occur at say 1.1455 and close at 1.1450 or open at 1.1450 and close at 1.1455. The only way i've been able to do this is by applying enhanced renko to my chart. However, when i do that, my flex renko settings of 5-0-5 go away and it reverts back to regular renko. Is there a way I can accomplish the opens and closes being equal to multiples of 5 with my 5-0-5 flex renko settings?

We would have to add a new Bar Period Type setting to support this but that is fairly involved. It would be quite a while before we get to this.

Thank you. I've come up with a solution that works. I set my tick size to .00005 and .005 for yen pairs. Then I just set the bar period to aligned renko bar with box size of 10 (which really means the box size is 5 since my tick size is set to half a tick). Then I set the renko as 'new trend bar after range met \| allow change of direction of current bar' which gives me the same effect as flex renko 5-0-5 but now everything is aligned! But I have another question. My global settings for the instruments have a tick size of .00005 and .005 but when i click 'apply global symbol settings', the tick size changes to .0001 or .01 for yen pairs even though the global symbol settings are set at .00005 and .005. Why is this? Can this be resolved?

Why is this? Can this be resolved? There could not be a problem with this. That is impossible. Check to make sure the Global Symbol Settings are as you say for that exact symbol.

The video did not play for us due to a compatibility issue. Anyway, there might be some problem with the Symbol Settings where unrelated settings are getting loaded for the symbol, which would be unusual.
