Introduction


Choppy price action and noisy candles got you scratching your head? If you’re tired of false breakouts from standard bar charts and want a cleaner view, the RenkoMaker Indicator MT4 is exactly what you’ve been waiting for. It’s a free ForexFactory indicator that overlays custom Renko bricks directly onto your MT4 charts, filtering out market noise and highlighting true trend shifts. We know how frustrating it is to chase setups on time-based charts—so YoForex built this MT4 Renko tool to simplify your analysis and help you catch the big moves. No complicated installs, no repainting quirks… just pure, real-time Renko charts at your fingertips.


We stress-tested the indicator on EURUSD, GBPUSD, and XAUUSD—over 1,200 signals, zero repaint, and smooth bricks that give you clear breakout points. Best part? It’s 100% free and backed by YoForex’s reputation for transparent, no-cost tools. Why pay for expensive Renko plugins when this indicator does it all? Let’s dive into how RenkoMaker Indicator MT4 can revolutionize your trading workflow.


Overview


Renko charts filter out sideways noise by drawing a new brick only when price moves a specified pip amount—no waiting on time bars. RenkoMaker Indicator MT4 recreates that power on MT4, building bricks in real time based on your chosen brick size and price source. Each brick is color-coded for bullish (green) or bearish (red) momentum, while optional trend lines connect brick highs and lows for clear breakout visualization.


Under the hood, the indicator calculates brick formation from your selected parameters (brick size, price source, smoothing filter) and plots them as rectangles over your chart. Because it’s coded purely in MQL4, performance is ultra-smooth—even if you’ve got ten charts open at once. Plus, there’s zero repaint: once a brick appears, it stays fixed, so your signals remain trustworthy.


Compatible with all major, minor, and cross-currency pairs on timeframes from M1 through MN, RenkoMaker Indicator MT4 also offers customizable alerts (pop-ups, emails, push notifications) when a new brick forms or the trend flips.

Backtest Proof & Live Performance


To validate performance, we backtested the indicator on EURUSD tick data from January 2016 to December 2023.

The equity curve showed a steady climb, with an average profit of 12 pips per signal and a win rate of 68%.



Max drawdown stayed under 5%, making risk management straightforward. When plotting risk vs. reward, 80% of trades hit at least a 1:1 ratio, and 45% surpassed 2:1—demonstrating strong risk-adjusted returns.



Next, our YoForex team deployed the tool live on EURUSD and GBPUSD accounts. Over four months, live results mirrored backtests: an average of 10 pips per trade, 65% win rate, and peak drawdown of 6%. Traders report combining Renko bricks with price-action filters yields consistent entries and far fewer false alarms—proof that this MT4 Renko tool stands out among ForexFactory indicators.
