Hey Guys,

i came across sierrachart cause someone mentioned the renko chart from sierra is the usual one and not like the problematic one from tradingview. Is that right?

Thank you very much in advance

thank you very much. I am diving into it. Sierra Charts is really quite cool.

I am looking for a renko reversal alert. Maybe you can also help me with that. Thank you very much in advance.

Information on Alerts can be found here:
Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning

It is really up to you to determine how you want to create your alert and the parameters that will work for what you want. This is a formula though that should work to do what you want:
OR(AND(C[-1]>O[-1] , C<O), AND(C[-1]<O[-1] , C>O))

Also, you may be interested in the Color Bar Based on Alert Condition, as this may give you more of a visual indicator that you are looking for:

Thank you for your help. But it didnt really work.
I need a alert for Green to Red brick reversal and vice versa. After closing
=>
//Long entry if a bearish renko brick is followed by a bullish brick
//Short entry if a bullish brick is followed by a bearish brick


Please see my attached file which was the result with your code

with this code

For Green
=AND(ID0.SG23[-1]>ID0.SG22[-1], ID0.SG23[0]>ID0.SG22[0]
)

For Red
=AND(ID0.SG23[-1]<ID0.SG22[-1], ID0.SG23[0]<ID0.SG22[0]
)

Its colouring the second candle red or green and the following..

- But why is it not always colouring the second candle? Of course it is quite cool when its just colouring real reversals.
- And only the second candle?

//Long entry if a bearish renko brick is followed by a bullish brick
//Short entry if a bullish brick is followed by a bearish brick

it worked with this code

=AND(ID0.SG23[-1]>ID0.SG22[-1], ID0.SG23[0]<ID0.SG22[0])

and vice versa btw ;)

Yes that is correct. We realize that we did not reference the open and close Renko values. But the true open and close instead. We have prepared the correct formula here:
