Comparison Of Regular And Mini Median Lines On Median Renko Chart

Median Renko charts, a modified version of the traditional Renko bricks brings a different view to the markets. Call it what you may, but I find the Median Renko charts a ‘Heikin Ashi‘ type of version of the Renko charts. Trends are visually easy to see in this type of Renko chart thus making it somewhat easier to build trading strategies.

The mini-median line is nothing but a traditional median line or Andrews’ Pitchfork tool that is applied only to local pivot points. Unlike the traditional way of plotting median lines, the mini-median line is drawn using 5 – 7 bars at max by making use of local pivot highs and lows. You can purchase the Median Renko chart plugin for MT4 from here.

The chart shown below is a great example of a regular median line where we make use of pivot swing points, while the dotted median line on the right is a mini-median line.
