The goal of this indicator is to plot the MACD, Signal, and Histogram values "as if" the chart is a true price action based Renko chart. It can be used on a time series chart or Renko series chart. The MACD is derived from the raw price action of a time-based chart, where the historic and live price is clustered into Renko bricks. The Renko brick production algorithm is entirely backed by Renko Overlay Ribbon and thoroughly tested.

The algorithm takes into account rapid brick production within a single time candle and adjusts accordingly. The output may vary slightly between different chart time frames for the same indicator settings, but this is due to the lack of price fluctuation visibility that can occur in higher chart time frames. If the brick tick size is low, an appropriate chart interval should be selected that maximizes the amount of price volatility visible to the indicator. A bad setting would be something like a 1 tick EURUSD Renko setting on an H4 or Day chart, there simply is no way to derive the exact and ordered price fluctuations in a single candle, 1 pip at a time. A more appropriate chart time frame would be 1-5 minutes for this selected Renko brick size.

The difference between this indicator and the companion Renko MACD indicator can be understood in the following video. The indicator plots the current MACD - Signal cross and MACD - Zero cross thresholds on the chart so that you know exactly where the most important crossing values are at all times. This can be used as a dynamic stop or a dynamic entry location for trades.
