I can't create renko bars from Ticks, it only works by consolidating Minutes data...
Am I missing something ?

This is the code I tried:
namespace QuantConnect { public class RenkoAlgorithm : QCAlgorithm { public override void Initialize() { // cash allocation SetCash(25000); SetStartDate(2017, 03, 07); SetEndDate(2017, 03, 08); AddForex("EURUSD", Resolution.Tick); var renkoClose = new RenkoConsolidator(0.0001m); renkoClose.DataConsolidated += (sender, consolidated) => { // call event handler for renko data HandleRenkoClose(consolidated); }; SubscriptionManager.AddConsolidator("EURUSD", renkoClose); } private void HandleRenkoClose(RenkoBar data) { Console.WriteLine("CLOSE - {0} - {1} {2}", data.Time.ToString("o"), data.Open, data.Close); } public override void OnData(Slice data) { // slice has lots of useful information //if (!data.ContainsKey("EURUSD")) return; //Ticks theticks = data.Ticks; Plot("EURUSD", "Price", data["EURUSD"].Price); } } }Alexandre Catarino
We can only consolidate RenkoBar from TradeBar or QuoteBar, since we need bar characteristics (open and close).

Thank you for your reply. In my mind the whole point of priced based bars (range/renko/p&f) is that they are NOT time based...but if quantconnect uses time based underlying bars with open and close to construct them then thay are not truly price bars. As a work around - what is the smallest time interval that I can construct a TradeBar at (1 min, 1 sec, 1 millisecond ?) Thanks.

Our tick data is timestamped by the second (all ticks within a second have the same datetime), so you should use second resolution data.

hans peter You're right, it's a bug in the RenkoConsolidator, we'll release a fix shortly.
Jared Broad
The fix was merged this morning. You should be able to use tick data for Rekno consolidators in your algorithms now.
