The manual states "Set BarPeriod at the approximate average bar duration, in order to allocate enough bars for the lookback period." While I don't exactly understand this, since LookBack = 0 in the SpecialBars.c script can we not assume that there are always enough allocated bars?

You code seems to allow the renko bars to have a multiple of their bar range, are you sure this is correct? I always thought that Renko bars must not exceed their bar range.


Yes, I am new to TA. I assumed that the bar size should be the greatest multiple of the bar range within the price move, but probably they should all be the same size as you explained.
