Range with a SMA (median instead of close).

Thanks for quick response. Not sure how to apply your solution.

I believe Renko Brick size = (bar close - bar open) in ticks and I would like the average of xx bars.

Add the Range indicator to Panel 2 > Add SMA > select Input series 'Edit input...' > select indicators > select Range > select Price type = Median > Set Panel to 2 (same as Range) > OK.

The range indicator will show the range of each bar. The SMA will show the average range over chosen Period.

See screenshots, 8 Renko over a period of 10 bars is an average of 8 ticks or 2 points.

Chart - ES 8 Renko

This works great but I need an indicator that I can use in BloodHound.
