What Is a Renko Chart?

Renko charts originated in Japan, with the name derived from renga, the Japanese word for “brick.”

Unlike traditional time-based charts, Renko charts focus on price movement rather than elapsed time. Each new brick forms when price moves a predefined amount, helping filter out smaller price fluctuations and highlight the underlying market structure.

Combined with orderflow tools, Renko charts provide a framework for analyzing trends, identifying key price levels, and evaluating potential execution opportunities.
